Space Attack Force

One of the three principal branches of the Eriaduan Empire’s military, commanded by High Commander Corka Zarvold. The Space Attack Force is made up of six battle fleets, which provide the bulk of the Eriaduan’s space power. Zarvold’s headquarters are at the SAF Military Station, which serves as a frontline base for the Space Attack Force.

Key ships of the fleet
The most recognizable ship of the Eriaduan Fleet was the Heavy Cruiser Class Warship. These mighty vessels were a visible presence throughout the Eriaduan Empire. They served as primary attack vessels and fleet flagships around which dozens of other ships were positioned; all original designs of the Eriaduan Emperor and commander-in-chief, Antonio de Borgia.

Organization
Emperor Borgia, who had been an admiral in the Imperial Navy, frowned upon the Empire’s belief focusing on overwhelming firepower as opposed to space superiority. However, he did not believe in space superiority alone, he preferred a balanced strategy that combined powerful warships that could field starfighter forces completely capable of gaining and maintaining space superiority in any engagement. The Eriaduan ship designs reflected thus.

Also, due to Borgia’s obsessive compulsive nature, the Eriaduan Emperor required that his forces be highly organized following the same basic formula as the Imperial Navy for ship formation.

Command
A command, or a single starship, was the smallest organizational level in the Eriaduan Military. Depending upon the size of the vessel, starships were usually commanded by captains with larger vessels being commanded by senior captains.

Line
The Line was the smallest formation of ships within the SAF. A Line consisted of six ships in which the type of line determined the arrangement. They were generally commanded by a senior captain or a junior commander.

Squadron
A squadron was the next largest formation in the Eriaduan SAF. It was a somewhat organic formation consisting of about twenty-four vessels give or take. Squadrons were generally commanded by a junior commander or a commander.

Task Force
Task Forces, commanded by commanders or high commanders, were the smallest independent operating units in the Eriaduan Fleet. Composed by about four squadrons, a task force was commanded by an admiral and contained approximately a hundred or so ships, depending upon the composition of the squadrons in the task force.

Fleet
A fleet combined several task forces under the command of a high commander. These combined forces were responsible for Eriaduan Fleet actions across several systems. Rather than outline specific formations for fleets, the Eriaduan High Command lent flexibility to commanders to group the whole of their naval resources and shape them as necessary missions required.
