Background

The Navy is commanded by the First Sea Lord and reports to the Imperial Judicator.  The First Sea Lord has complete control, in conjunction with the Admiral of the Captain Council, over the operation of the army in times of peace.  In times of war or at the command of the Imperial Judicator the Captains Council assumes command of the navy.  The Captains Council is comprised of all Officers who hold the rank of Admiral and above, the Imperial Judicator and Lord Rahkzan if he so wishes.

The navy is charged with the protection of all Tarian merchant vessels in every sea.  It is the duty of every Ship commander to ensure the safety of these ships.  As the navy may operate many days from a friendly port the commander of an Imperial Navy ship may operate in adverse conditions and situations.  To this end they have the ability to operate outside of a lawful order they were given when they left port, however on their return home they must justify their departure from their orders.

The Shipwrights Office controls ship and building production and building materials, the payment of all officers and sailors, equipment needed for all ships and operation of all navy run stores and businesses (including docks and ports).

When the Imperial navy is in combat ships and ports will be captured, these shall be given to the civilian government as no officer may profit from the Empire.  However the capture of important cities and persons will result in an immediate gratuity depending upon the said location or person.  At the end of the war officers will be given bonuses and medals depending upon their performance.  This may include land, money or titles depending upon the will of Lord Rahkzan.
