Tapani Common Navy

The Common Navy was the name of the combined fleet established during the to serve as the military force of the Tapani emperors. Traditionally matters of defence were up to individual, with each possessing its own House Defence Force, but Shey Tapani created a centralized military during his campaigns. The Common Navy would serve for the defence of the whole under the emperor's direct command while the House forces acted as a reserve and local security forces. By the time of the, with the increasing regional factionalism in the Empire, the Common Navy would become increasingly weaker compared to the House paramilitary forces.

During the reign of Emperor Arcadain, Prime Minister Markus Lie would begin implementing military reforms to strengthen and reform the Common Navy into a modern force. However the Navy would become host to revolutionary activity among both the lower ranking soldiers and the officer corps, and they would play an important role during the Welona Revolution bringing about the end of the Tapani monarchy.

After the establishment of the, the Common Navy would continue to exist but in a reduced state.
