Aegis Interstellar Fleet

The Aegis Interstellar Fleet exists to defend the Aegis of Aeidi from all foes, foreign or domestic, and to further their interests. Operating with a combined fleet doctrine, the fleet has a centrepiece in the Silence-class capital ships. Positions within the fleet are seen as prestigious and rewarding, and the fleet is held in great esteem.

The most significant interaction between the Federation and the Aegis Interstellar Fleet was during Hybor's great campaign.

Obsolete Classes

Tactics
The crew of the Aegis Interstellar Fleet are a lot closer to what other species recognisable as a hierarchical system compared to the normal system. However, the level of surveillance employed against the fleet is extreme to keep them in check.

Officers
The majority of officers, especially those who achieved higher rank, came through the Aegis admission exam, and have spent a mix of time in Aegis council work and on starships. This helps Konen officers to become very politically adept. And ruthless.

Other officers come through the enlisted academies, where they are scouted for potential and sent to separate courses for commissioning.

Enlisted
With the somewhat political bent of some officers, despite being reasonably competent, there is additional pressure on the Enlisted personnel to be professional, well-trained careerists and specialists.

Major Worlds

 * Aeidi Prime
 * Ixus
