Fleet Design 200 (25BBT)
The Naval Defense Force’s Future
“…As of now, the Velvet Rose Naval Defense Forces are a pure exploration and defensive scouting force. In an ever changing combat environment, with new threats approaching rapidly, and defending key sector allies outside the Line, I am proud to present The Fleet Design for Stardate 200…”
– Aya Corbet, Chief of Staff of Directorate Defense Forces
Fleet Design 200 (FTDN200) is a Fleet reorganization strategy designed to turn the Naval Defense Force into an expeditionary fighting force.
New Doctrine
Overmatch System Superiority - Attacking multiple systems with overwhelming force, at the same time, preventing clusters of resistance from forming
Dispersered Hit and Run - All Enemy Infrastructure is targetable. Exploit the gaps and slip through, hit Population Centers, Industry, anything that allows the brings the fighting to a swift close.
Decapitate & Incapacitate - Enemy Capitals are priority targets, not for their value as the capital, but rather for their ability to neutralize leaders.
