The Astræ'an Empire has a formidable space navy consisting of twenty one fleets of ships. Each fleet is assigned to a specific sector and zone of the galaxy and is commanded by a Admiral of the Fleet. Generally speaking, each fleet has ten Wings and each wing consists of two billion troops and eight billion support personnel. Each Wing has one hundred battlegroups. Individual battlegroups tend to be specialized fighting forces. A battlegroup has a Duchy assigned to it, these Duchies are expected to supply that battlegroup with everything it needs. There are therefore at least 29,900 Duchies in the empire. In addition to the fleets, each duchy maintains a fleet of planetary defence vessels. These fleets are a source of extra personnel, training and a good place to dump problematic individuals for the battlegroup.
