0114 - Alliance Defence Force

Barring the small Alliance Defence Force for defending key components of the Alliance bureaucracy there is no central Alliance Navy to compare with the other major powers. Instead a headquarters organisation exists staffed by the Council of Admirals and their support staff.

The Alliance Defence Force is essentially a small rapid deployment force made up of ships from the member navies, and is maintained under the command of the Council of Admirals to respond to any crisis - humanitarian and military.

In an emergency additional forces would be provided by member navies if the Council of Admirals makes an emergency appeal to the Assembly. Tourist Beacon 0114
