THE STELLAR COMBAT FLEET
The Stellar Combat Fleet is an enormous private military corporation dedicated to supplying any paying client with the forces required for any task. The Fleet functions as a galactic superpower for hire.
HISTORY
The Fleet was founded decades ago by a coalition of soldiers. The soldiers, disgusted with how little politicians cared about the military and infuriated by the sluggish pace of the bureaucracy, defected en masse. The Defectors banded together with local mercenary groups and founded the Stellar Combat Fleet. The Fleet quickly expanded and began raids on pirate bases. To the pirates and mercenaries they crushed in battle they offered an ultimatum: Join us or die. When chaos and war engulfed the galaxy the Fleet moved quickly, assimilating entire systems of refugees and displaced peoples into its vast war machine. due to the conflict that continues to plague the galaxy, the SCF continues to grow in size and power.
SOLDIERS
The soldiers of the SCF are among the best trained in the Galaxy. Children train from a young age in the Fleet academies. They are taught discipline, engineering, strategy, and tactics. It is here that they develop strong bonds with their fellow cadets. Outstanding candidates are sent to specialized schools, such as Command School and Pilot School.

- Defense
- Assault
- Privateering
