Each Fleet maintains only a single Capital Class Ship per negotiated restrictions with NATO, in exchange, each fleet's Capital Ship may be modified and upgraded without restrictions but all modifications and upgrades need to be privately listed and made available to top level UN and NATO Security Observation Personnel, it support fleet compliments, however, are therefore restricted in their capacity to carry capital class weaponry or anti-capital class weaponry.

Final Thoughts: The Comerciante Space Fleet is the 25th largest fleet in the Sol System. It's outnumbered by fleets belonging to nations that can't even hope to meet a quarter of the Republics' GDP or overall spending power in as many years that the Republic has existed.

This was an expected outcome. NATO regulates how large a fleet a nation can maintain by comparing it to its population and economy and will sanction any nation attempting to go above its allotted weight class. Despite Comerciante's near overwhelming economy, justifying a space fleet larger than what has been presented here was impossible.

So with the utilization of diplomacy... generous donations to NATO Veteran's Fund, Comerciante lobbied the UN security council to allow it to discard the restrictions on what Comerciante Capital Ships could be armed with, in exchange Comerciante would surrender the right to maintain multiple capital class warships per fleet and replace the lost tonnage with more support craft and smaller warships.

It also allowed Comerciante to field an Armageddon Class Battleship, of which before the War only a hundred were built, with the status of two of the remaining ships being unknown and the last five remaining squarely in NATO hands.


Earth Theatre
Orbital/Ground/Airforce/Naval Assets


Comerciante Earth-based assets are divided into 2 groups. Assets based in Orbit aboard support craft of the Home Fleet as part of Comerciante Rapid Response Initiative and Assets Based across the Globe as part of maintaining the security of Comerciante Global Manufacturing and Diplomatic Interests and defense of the Republic of Comerciante itself.

Distribution of Comerciante Forces across the Globe is restricted as a right held by all sovereign nations under UN specifications, but NATO procedures do demand information on Orbital Assets in relation to forces expected to be utilized on the ground. Returning to the Space Asset Home Fleet Support Craft Listings detail what Orbital Bombardment Assets are available, hence this list will only detail total Rapid Response Units presented in Orbit.

Comerciante Naval assets will also be discussed alongside Airforce assets.

Comerciante Small Arms Listings are NOT in any way shape or form accurately to what Small Arms is actually available within the nation itself. Listings are best guess estimates of the present arms currently in armories and storage across the City and Ark 12 owned by the Comerciante Military (Enforcers/Com Guard). Comerciante Defense Contractors produces a large number of small arms daily for international sale and for military discounted purchases. So some numbers may take this into account.

addendum: Mercenaries own their own equipment and are independent contractors thus making them and their own equipment not a part of Comerciante's Inventory.

JCD Purchase/Storage: Jericho Combat Drones belonging to Republic Officer Storage are kept in 3 levels of readiness. The first level is "Emergency Protocol" storage where they are kept in light storage units that they can be taken out of stasis and placed on the field incase of large scale upheaval in less than or equal to 10 - 15 minutes. The second level is "General" which is basically just standard storage, these units are kept in private facilities and are often just kept on hand to either serve as training material for human officers, or to justify budget increases. The third level of is "Stock" not actually a scale of readiness but a measure of how many drones are currently being purchased, are being transported to an Officer Branch or are being considered for resell.

JCD "Emergency Protocol": 400
JCD "General": 600
JCD "Stock":
- Purchased: 305
- In-Transit: 492
- Resell: 303

Weapon/Munition Catalogue


[G] = Munitions/Weapons Generally Available among Public and Military Forces
[W] = Munitions/Weapons Not Regularly Available among the Public mostly within Military Property
[R] = Munitions/Weapons Rarely Available to the Public either due to scarcity or price but generally scarcity, thus the Military often gets first dibs.

Reminder: Munition Estimates are not given neither are they attempted. The Republic and CFC affiliates produce, sell and purchase such significant amounts of munition that it is impossible to provide anything accurately, that won't be immediately out of date upon data collection completion.
