Revision as of 07:40, 1 November 2005

The Colonial Army is truly a terrifying war machine. With the advanced technology and Genetic Supersoldiers of the Kroenen Followers and the massive numbers and quick strike troops of the Helghan Colonial Force almost nothing can stop the army once it begins an attack.

Ground Forces

The Colonial Army is organise into Legions. Each Legion has 10000 soldiers,including tank drivers but not including the service personnel etc... Each Legion is commanded by a seperate General and all Generals are given their orders from the Lord-Marshal Cetanu Guan'thwei. Two legions are composed of only 4000 soldiers, and almost no armoured vehicles. However, every one of these soldiers is from the Kroenen Followers nation and is a Rauben supersoldier. The numbers shown here do not include non-combat personnel such as technicians. Each Legion is also given a name describing its tactics and composition. (E.g The Locusts use huge numbers of infantry while the Armoured Fists use large numbers of tanks. Only the First 6 Legions have specialised composition, and names, as each of the Generals is of High-Marshall Rank (Except Grievous and Daschande who are Kroenen Followers and so their Legions will always be as they want them to be, depending on each's prefered tactics). After this, each Legion is standardised and nameless. So to save space I will show the composition of the VII Legion then the number of legions after that. There is a total of 50 Legions

Air Cavalry Organisation

There is a total of 25 Air Cavalry detachments. The Air Cavalry is used to support ground forces and provide cover for Dropship landings. Unlike the Legions, no detachment is specialised, as all the Commanders are below the Generals, even Generals of normal Legions(Field-Marshall Rank) and recieve their orders directly from the General they are attached to. Detachments are attached to Legins as needed and are often split between several Legion (as there is 50 Legions and only 25 Air Cavalry Detachments). Again the numbers here are non-inclusive of non-combat personnel., and each Detachment has a total of 2000 Combat personnel.

Detachment Organisation(all Detachments)

Jetbike Crewmen: 550 = 550 Jetbikes

Reaper Superiority Fighter Crewmen: 400 = 200 Fighters

Raider Fighter: 550 = 275 Fighters

Avenger Bomber Crewmen: 250 = 50 Bombers

Titan Heavy Bomber Crewmen: 250 = 25 Bombers

Naval Battalion Organisation

The Naval Battalions are the least important (in Colonial eyes) of the Colonial Armed Force Divisions. They are used to conquer the sea of a planet and prevent all trade and reinforcements from getting through. There is a total of 10 Navies, which are, like the Air Cavalry, are given orders by the General in charge of a particular invasion force, which the fleet is attached to. Each Navy has a total combat manpower of 2000 men, althpugh the total number of personnel(including tachnicians and repairmen) can be close to and often exceeds 10,000.

Navy Battalion Formation

Battleship Crewmen: 500 = 10 Battleships

Fast Attack Boat Crewmen: 200 = 100 F.A.B.'s

Assault Boat Crewmen: 500 = 250 Assault Boats

Command Ship Crewmen: 800 = 2 Command Ships

Planetary Armada

The single most important part of the Colonial Armed Forces. Without the power of the Armada, no invasions could take place and space would remain completely unknown to the Colonials. Their are two fleets, one commanded by the General of the First Legion, and the defensive Armada, commanded by the Lord-Marshall. As each ship can carry different numbers of crewmen, technicians and defence soldiers, only the number of ships are shown.
