Confederate States Navy

The Confederate States of Earth Navy were naval forces of the Confederate States of Earth, with ships both in space and on the ocean. The C.S.E.N was founded shortly after the founding of the Provisional Confederate States of Earth as the Confederate States of Earth Fleet, the C.S.E.F was created from the part of the Union Navy which was based in the Confederate states which had seceded, the reason that the Confederate Parliament gave to justify the impoundment of Union ships was that the Union Navy had no place in the Confederacy, and thus they were within their rights to impound and use the ships, the crews of the impounded ships were sent back to the Union at Confederate expense, the Confederate Navy also made use ships turned over to the Confederacy by crews which were born in seceded states, and decided they owed their allegiance to their home states, rather than the nation they gave their allegiance to.

The C.S.E.F was made up primarily of ocean-borne vehicles, though with a few space shuttles. Shortly after, the Provision C.S.E was reorganized into the C.S.E, and the C.S.E.F was renamed the C.S.E.N, after the signing of the Confederate-Earth Treaty of Alliance the C.S.E.N was supplied Separatist warships, which greatly strengthened its space-borne fleets, following the renaming the rank of the commanding officer was changed from Admiral of the Fleet to Grand Admiral, Admiral of the Fleet was renamed to Admiral of the Grand Fleet, the prime fleet of the navy, and that rank became the rank of the second-in-command of the navy. Most prized amongst Separatist-supplied ships was the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Velociraptor (Subjugator-class)|Velociraptor]], which became the flagship of the navy, as well as the personal flagship of President Jane Zarkan, as well as the Confederate Grand Fleet, the prime fleet of the C.S.E.N.
