The Galean Navy
Although most combat takes place on dry land, no one may discount the importance of Galean Navy to the continued survival and prosperity of the Kingdom. It is because of the skill, prowess, and valor of the men and women of the "Blue Sails" that the Empire cannot launch a full-scale naval assault against Galea (the "Blue Sails" refers to the expensive but traditional convention of raising blue cloth sails on all Galean warships and ships of state).
The whole of the navy is commanded by the Grand Admiral. There are three fleets - the Southern Fleet (or "Southfleet" as it is often called), which patrols the southern coasts and protects merchants from pirates and raiders; the Northern Fleet (or "Northfleet") that protects the northeastern shores as well as Caldor Bay and serves as the Fleet of the Throne; and the Western Fleet (or "Westfleet") that dominates the waters of western Galea. Each fleet is commanded by an Admiral.
The Navy utilizes three main craft types - sloops (fast, light craft), the mid-sized galleys', and the dramatic and enormous galleons. The commander of each craft is a Captain (although unofficial status is accrued towards the captains of larger craft).
There is only one type of unit within a fleet - a Wing (to this day, no one is quite certain why they are called this, although it is speculated that early sailing ships gave their pilots the sensation of a kind of flight). Wings are commanded by Commodores. There are four ranks in the Galean Navy below that of Captain.
The First Officer serves as a captain's second-in-command and handles the administrative operations of a ship. The Second Officer is the third-in-command and handles the night watch aboard the ship. The First Mate is the highest non-officer aboard and is in charge of the daytime operations; the Second Mate handles the same job at night.
