Royal Authoranian Navy

The Royal Authoranian Navy or Authoranian Navy is the sea warfare branch of the Authoranian Military. The Authoranian Navy was established to combat the threat of growing naval powers in the Mortal World and secure overseas territories.

Much of the Authoranian's Navy's history was uneventful, however, they played a significant role in the Blood River War and are currently integral to the defense of Authorania's island territories.

The Navy consists of volunteers from all of Authorania's city-states, however, Naval service is not an option for the mandatory 2 year military service male citizens must serve. Currently, there are 4,000 active sailors and 60,000 reserve sailors. The number of active duty sailors is so low due to the limited ships in Authorania's fleet. While reservists in the Army only serve for a short time throughout the year, Naval reservists play a more active role, often serving on small vessels to help defend Authorania's waterways.

History
Authorania has had a Navy since the Second Testament Era, however, this early form of the Navy was not officially part of the Authoranian Military. This early form of the Authoranian Navy consisted of privately owned small boats, which were commissioned through contracts to defend Authorania's waters from foreign invaders. By the Maximus Testament Era, foreign naval powers had proved too great against the small fleet of contracted sailors, thus, Authorania officially established the Royal Authoranian Navy in 192 STE.

The Blood River War
After the establishment of Authorania's Navy, much of their responsibility was protecting Authorania's territorial waters. At this time, the Authoranian Navy was small, with only 5 commissioned patrol boats. Slowly, the Kings of Authorania began to increase the size of their fleet, however, it wasn't until 484 AT when the Authoranian government commissioned their first warship. This warship was a Ship of the Line named the ANS Bartholomew, named after Port Bartholomew in Edenborough and was created for the purpose of showing off Authorania's naval dominance.

Shortly after the commissioning of the ANS Bartholomew, a ship of the line with 16 guns, the ANS Cannerberry, a small Sloop of War with 8 guns and the ANS Danes, a Frigate, was commissioned.

Shortly after Authorania declared war on Presmotopia, the Authoranian Navy mobilized their entire fleet to cause a blockade of foreign imports to Presmotopia. Since Presmotopia did not have a fully functioning navy, the blockade was a success. However, this would be a short term blockade as Presmotopia began to roll out their newly built ships: the PS Althwain, PS Nominae and the PS Gonthula. The PS Althwain was a massive Ship of the Line with 50 total guns, while the PS Nominae and PS Gonthula were medium sized Frigates.

The two navies rarely engaged in sea warfare during the war, aside from a few skirmishes. Due to the PS Althwain's massive arsenal, she dominated the sea around Presmotopia and the Authoranian King wanted to preserve the fleet while additional frigates were being constructed. When the AS Covax and AS Novaskona were launched, they became the biggest ships in the Authoranian fleet and were designed to challenge massive ships like the PS Althwain. However, shortly after the two Authoranian ships were launched, the PS Althwain ran aground on a large reef and sustained catastrophic damage. With the Althwain out of service, the Authoranian Navy launched an attack on the remaining Presmotopian ships, which were easily defeated due to their poor construction. The Authoranian Navy reapplied their blockade until the end of the war.

Operations
The Authoranian Navy's current operations mainly include escort missions and protection of Authoranian and her allies waters. Her biggest ship, the AS Sentenous, primarily deploys to flex Authorania's naval muscle and her second biggest ship, the AS Novaskona, primarily escorts the Sentenous.
