The Natopian Defense Force is a combined arms force tasked, under the Caprine Code with defending the totality of Natopia's holdings on Micras and in the wider Atos system. It's motto is Duty, Loyalty, Honor. It is ultimately under the command of the Natopian Emperor, who has the supreme rank of Grand Commander of the Defense Force. Most operations and decisions are made by the Natopian Secretary for Defense.

Natopian Army

The equipment of the Natopian Army would be comprehensively overhauled in the wake of the Anders Defense Review of 1716. Critics would point to the absence of support vehicles and artillery systems during the deployment to Natopian forces to Eura during 1730 AN as evidence of failures in the procurement programmes of the Court of the Verdant Garden. In spite of this, the reorganisation of the Natopian Army proceeded apace between 1716 AN and 1740 AN, marking a complete overhaul of the traditional establishment, which had remained in place since the War of Lost Brothers in the mid seventeenth century after Norton.

Natopian Navy

The Navy suffered from a lower priority compared to land and aerospace forces in the Anders Defence Review. In part this was on account of the ability for orbital platforms to perform a good deal of the strategic missions that seapower might reasonably be expected to undertake. For this reason then, the process of rebuilding the fleet did not begin in earnest until 1719 AN, a which point vessels that had been long in service since the War of Lost Brothers were already being decommissioned at a steady rate. There was accordingly a period, between 1720 AN and 1730 AN, when the maritime security of Natopia was reliant upon demesnial and allied forces to a far greater degree than was acknowledged at the time. Further work on the expansion of the navy began in late 1730 AN, with the Natopian Navy Expansion Programme (1730–1740).

Naval establishment

Following the comprehensive Anders Defense Review of 1716, the Natopian Navy embarked on an ambitious two-decade modernization and expansion program between 1719 AN and 1740 AN. This transformation evolved from a post-War of Lost Brothers defensive force into one of Micras' premier naval powers. The naval construction program was methodically phased across three defined periods: the Reconstruction Period (1719 AN-1727 AN), which focused on rebuilding core capabilities; the Expansion Period (1727 AN-1734 AN), which established blue water capabilities; and the Advanced Development Period (1734 AN-1740 AN), which introduced cutting-edge technologies and specialized vessels. This comprehensive transformation was achieved through strategic partnerships with allied shipbuilders, transfers from the Maritime Armada and Western Natopian Demesnial Forces, and a significantly expanded domestic shipbuilding capacity that created thousands of high-skilled jobs across coastal demesnes.

The Naval Expansion Programme that emerged from the Anders Defense Review of 1716 represented the most comprehensive modernization of Natopian naval forces since the founding of the nation. By 1740 AN, this methodical two-decade effort had transformed the Natopian Navy into one of Micras' most powerful maritime forces, structured around:

  • Four carrier strike groups centered on Susa-class fleet carriers;
  • Eight expeditionary strike groups built around Proclamation-class light carriers and Beauharnais-class amphibious assault ships;
  • Multiple surface action groups composed of cruisers and destroyers;
  • A robust submarine force providing both strategic deterrence and tactical capabilities;
  • Revolutionary strategic transport capabilities with the Leviathan-class cargo submarines;
  • Unprecedented operational flexibility through the Pegasus floating space launch platform;
  • Comprehensive littoral combat and patrol capabilities protecting Natopian waters;
  • Extensive auxiliary and support vessels enabling global power projection.

The Natopian Navy's unique strategic assets, particularly the revolutionary Leviathan-class strategic cargo submarines and the Pegasus-class floating space launch platform, provided unprecedented capabilities not found in any other naval force on Micras. The Leviathan-class submarines, with their ability to transport critical strategic resources beneath blockades, represented a fundamental rethinking of naval logistics, while the Pegasus platform created an entirely new paradigm for the integration of naval and space operations.

The fleet is organized into five primary operational commands:

  • Gaeos Fleet (Tapfer and Yellow Island waters);
  • Raynor Fleet (Eastern Hemisphere operations);
  • Dominion Fleet (Global power projection and expeditionary operations);
  • Subsurface Command (Submarine operations);
  • Maritime Protection Force (Coastal defense and EEZ enforcement).

Natopian Spacefleet

The Spacefleet's Coat of Arms

The Spacefleet, in its present form, has been in continuous existence since 1571. Over the period of time the fleet has seen individual vessels progressively rebuilt through maintenance and life-extension programmes as well as entire classes withdrawn from service or redesigned.

The Natopian Spacefleet developed near faster-than-light travel through unknown and clandestine means. The technology was once widespread throughout the fleet when regular missions to Giess and brief visits to Daia necessitated FTL speeds. Most ships are outfitted with a traditional spacewarp, known as Vastadenu Drive, which required a mineral component that is rare on Micras but abundant on Giess. Because of Giess' disappearance, the Spacefleet has enacted a strict sublight cruising policy to preserve the minerals for critical uses only. Newer classes have a vortex jump drive which has proven to be a more stable method of transport and does not require crystals or such, albeit in the absence of a stable system of interstellar dead-reckoning which again limited the safe operability of the vortex drive to within the Atos system.

The Natopian International Space Station was built in orbit and hosted international teams of scientists, diplomats, and provided logistical support for other nation's space programs. The most notable early exchange program was with the Karnali space program, where both national space agencies built a Bismarck class ship together and launched it as the KSS Karnali. According to Natopia's law, the Spacefleet maintains organizational autonomy outside of Micras' atmosphere, which allows the NISS and any Spacefleet assets stationed there to act as necessary in the harsh realities of space. Unless re-positioned for reconnaissance or classified missions, the NISS is found in a geosynchronous orbit over Angus Spaceport with several drydock facilities nearby (relatively).

A smaller version of the NISS, Natopian Station 2, was once in orbit around Giess.

New Lindstrom Tarsica Base was created when an old style Imperial-class carrier was dissembled in lunar orbit and reassembled on the surface of Tarsica. It has not always been manned, depending on the priorities of the NDF command staff, the civilian government, and whether or not other nations have personnel on the moon. The base is currently permanently manned, and the Guinevere Dome contains the transplanted remnants of the Hazel tribe, who fled their native Flaventia after a terrible fire.

The NSS Ganymede, an Io-class cruiser, was lost in a wormhole in 1593 during a standard patrol route between Giess and Micras. That same year the AlexNat Gate suddenly reopened and an invasion of the Grand Commonwealth poured into Klaasiya on Micras. It was later discovered that both the Ganymede wormhole and AlexNat Gate had opened into the parallel mirror universe of Meekras, where neither the Grand Commonwealth nor the SPEAR alliance collapsed and waged global war for years.

The War of Lost Brothers and the ongoing War of the Harpy compelled the Natopian Spacefleet to rebuild its aerospace arm for counterinsurgency operations in Normark.

As the primary spacefaring power of the Raspur Pact, the Natopian Spacefleet has exclusive operational control of the alliance's Space Command, subordinated for administrative purposes under the Tapfer Theatre Command.

The maintenance of the spacefleet represents the single largest item cost of the Natopian Defense Force, leaving the Natopian Navy constrained to sustain its fleet through maintenance and scheduled replacement, having never made good on losses sustained during the War of Lost Brothers. Natopian land forces remained chronically underdeveloped and reliant upon being bolstered during times of crisis by the Demesne Defense Forces. This produced a paradoxical situation whereby whilst the militaries of the Raspur Pact are heavily dependent upon the orbital bombardment and surveillance capabilities of Natopia, Natopia is in turn reliant upon the contributions of allied contingents for its own geostrategic security.

Ranks and Uniforms

Uniforms

The uniforms for each branch of the Defense Force are designed by the Institute of Heraldry within the Court of the Verdant Gardens and manufactured via a contract with Dingo Enterprises. The unniforms were refreshed in 1685 to make rank and service branch more distinctive. Spacefleet uniforms are consist of dark gray shorts and sleeveless uniform shirt (for arm and leg mobility in potential zero-g situations) with silver-colored leather straps and silver accents. Navy uniforms are blue pants and long sleeve uniform shirts to protect against the elements while on deck with gold-colored leather straps and gold piping for accents. Army uniforms are dark teal with rolled up sleeves, bronze-colored leather straps, and bronze piping for accents.

Ranks are identified by the cover and harness, using a hierarchy of visual iconography based on dominant styles in the upper ranks and submissive styles in the lower ranks. Command ranks wear a cross harness and a muir cap. Senior officers wear a fireman harness and a beret. Junior officers wear a bulldog harness with a garrison cap. Enlisted service members wear no harnesses and a cadet's cap.

Standard Issue Equipment

The Thworpper

The Thworpper.

In addition to mission- and station-specific sidearms, all NDF officers and enlisted persons are issued a Thworpper for personal defense, hand to hand combat, and as a ceremonial weapon in place of a saber for dress uniforms. The Thworpper is a clack fan designed by the NDF and produced by Lindstrom Square Mercantile, based on the popular fans used in circuit parties.
