Ok, Im planning on doing this, I can do it...I think
Here goes: This has been in my mind for some time, but Im not sure if I should put it under the Imperial Navy, which are in space, the Imperial Guard, who are on land.
Or make them a whole different branch of the Imperial Militairy, calling it the Imperial Fleet or something?
If they would be a different militairy branch, it would mean they have fleets instead of regiments. This could be cool. But would Cadia for example produce fleets too?
I was thinking about creating (not modelling, just some fluff and artwork) a Ryza Tech Fleet, some ships with lots of plasma weapons, but then somebody explained to me that Plasma weapons on ships arent the smartest idea..Im starting to get the point!
But a Tech Fleet would still totally kick ass, but first start with a normal Imperial Fleet. How large would it be? what kind of ships would there be? What about the command structure?
Ranks (from high to low):
-Commissar (eventhough he is not the commander of the fleet, he has still the autorisation to execute an Admiral is he is disobedient)
-Admiral: He/she is the commander of a fleet
-Commanders: Each Commander leads a part of the fleet, but still obey the Admiral.
-Captain: Each captain commands his/her own ship, they also command the ships of the Commanders and Admiral, but they do what they are told to do.
-Lieutenant: They are the second-in-command on the ships, if the Captain is out of action, he/she will take over.
-Engineseers: They are the Engineering Officers on the ships. They maintain the ships and Machine Spirits.
-Sub-Lieutenants: Each Sub-Lieutenant commands 5 to 10 Ratings. Stuff like Communication Officers, Tactical Officers, Medical Officers, Navigation Officers are all Sub-Lieutenants.
-Ratings: They are the normal crew on the ships who do all the work (loading and controlling weapons, controlling the ships, maintening the ships, etc).
Im still not very sure about the size of each fleet, because everything in the Imperium has such large sizes and amounts. To me between 50 and 200 ships seems normal, but IG regiments consist of about 10000 troops and armoured regiments probably are also a few thousand tanks.
More to come soon...
