---An explanation of the Terran Military system---
I will explain the TAM with a couple of screenshots. Please read the description that you can find under the pictures.

This is how it works. The Terrans (A.K.A. Humans) have 4 different military branches all controlled by the Terran Military Command (TMC). Practically the only military branch you are going to meet is the Terran Alliance Military (TAM). This is the branch that fights interstellar wars, explores the galaxy, and defends all peaceful people within the reaches of the TA.

When we expand the Offense & Defense tab (the main power of the TAM) we can see that the TAM is divided into Battlegroups. Because the TAM is only a couple of years old, it currently has only 1 finished Battlegroup;
Battlegroup-A. These Battlegroups are divided into "Regular Sub-Battlegroups" and "Special Sub-Battlegroups".

The homebase of the Regular Sub-Battlegroups is Ares 1 (A.K.A. Mars station 1). As you can see, there are 14 Sub-Battlegroups, they are all compiled in the exact same way. We will now look at Battlegroup-A1 as an example.

Each Sub-Battlegroup has a Commandgroup and Squadrons. The Commandgroup has the Papa Dragon as commandvehicle, with 4 Galactica's as support. We will now take a look at the Squadrons.

Each Sub-Battlegroup has 4 Squadrons They are all compiled in the exact same way. We will now look at Squadron A1a as an example.
(NOTE: Squadron A1c1 is a typo, it should say Squadron A1c)

Each Squadron contains 12 vehicles:
- 1 Arachnid
- 4 Butterflies
- 1 Bumblebee
- 2 Grizzlys
- 1 Raptor
- 2 Blightkillers
- 1 Firefly
These are all the vehicles in the regular Sub-Battlegroups, now we will take a look at the special Sub-Battlegroups.

Each Battlegroup contains 7 Special Sub-Battlegroups. They are all have exactly the same ships 'n stuff. We will now take a look at Special Battlegroup A7 as an example.

Each Special Battlegroup has a "Deep Space" homestation. They are supposed to stay there until they are needed, and they should return when the task is over.

Each Special Battlegroup consist of:
- 2 Transporter Utilities
- 2 Paladin Utilities
- 2 Squire Utilities

So this is the entire TAM Battlegroup-A explained. In times of peace, all Squadrons are free to go where they are needed, and rarely an entire Sub-Battlegroup is needed.
In times of war, Sub-Battlegroups A7-A14 are usually divided into their Squadrons, some guarding a station, others a planet, and others going on patrol. Sub-Battlegroups A1-A6 are usually stand-by.
Never has an entire Battlegroup been assembled.
All together Battlegroup-A, (the main force of the TA) has:
- 672 Battle-units (56 Cruisers, 560 Fighters, 56 Scouts)
- 42 Utility-units
- 70 Command-ships
- 7 Command-stations
There are, of course, some ships that are not listed. These are not a part of the Battlegroup system, they are a part of the "Exploration" system.
Kind regards,
