The Civil Defense are smaller and tasked with defending their local planet/system. Their Equipment is up to par with Galactic Standards, but some aspects are outdated.

The Army

The Army is tasked with patrolling stations and planetary bases. They are the smaller of the 2 main branches. Their uniform varies depending on the environment, deployment and role, with many aspects being unique depending on the individual. They are armed with Laser Rifles and also use vehicles such as APCs, hovertanks and combat speeders. They also operate ground defenses, such as Laser Cannons, Surface-to-Space Cannons and Volta Cannons. Most Local Defense Forces have small standing army. Many subunits exist, such as the Consulate Guards, armed with Electro-Halberds.

The Star Navy

The Navy is tasked with patrolling the large areas of space that the Federation control, as well as protecting convoys and stations. They are the largest of the 2 main branches. Their uniform consists of a blue, grey or green jumpsuit, a cap or helmet, and a utility belt, with other thing being unique to an individual. They are armed with Laser Rifles and Pistols.

The Cyberwarfare Division

The Cyberwarfare Division is the newest and advanced branch of the FSF, replacing the Disbanded Terrestrial Navy. They control many Planetary Defenses, such as Space-To Surface Cannons.

The Marines

The Marines specialize in boarding enemy stations and capital ships, as well as leading planetary, ground and amphibious assaults. Every Cruiser in the Fleet has at least a platoon of marines. They also guard planet-side bases and stations. These brave men and women are considered elite units. The most elite of these units is called the Republic Guard, a unit which has been in service since the Days of the Volkanian Republic.

The Starfighter Corps

The Starfighter Corps itself is the real fighting force of the Navy, being a celebrated and renounced branch of the Fleets. The FSFSC works very closely with the Star Navy, often used as Escorts, Station Defense and Anti-Piracy measures.

The Uniform of a pilot changes depending on species and ship, but the most common and universal features including a life support box, a helmet, a jumpsuit and a holder for a small blaster. Most Local Forces usually have a few squadrons of fighters of many makes and models. Dozens of Planetary bases are dedicated to the Starfighter Corps.

Policies, Culture, External Relations and Technology

Relations

The Federation is part of the UNF but remains largely neutral in any conflicts due to its small size and underperformance of the Starfleet. Federation Military Ships largely stay within The Jewel, apart from humanitarian ships and Escorts, but civilian and cargo ships can commonly be seen outside of the Jewel Group, trading with the Larger Galaxy.

Culture

Despite its small size, each planet has its own unique cultures, festivals, and customs. The Federation generally encourages its citizens to visit other worlds. It also encourages its citizens to help others despite the difference of sex, gender, species, or origin. There is also a heavy sense of preservation, with many worlds having very strict emission standards to prevent pollution from getting out of hand.

Fleet and Military Strength

The Federation Starfleet contains 4 System and 20 Planetary fleets, The Home and Diplomatic Fleet, each with an area to patrol and defend, with thousands of ships of various sizes. Battlecruisers and Battleships also serve the secondary purpose of Relief Aid, being equipped with water purifiers, large greenhouses, and small factories. These ships are very crew efficient, with Cruisers having crews of less than 250 individuals, and Battleships having crews of less than 5,000. Every ship above a cruiser also has at least 20 Marines onboard for defense or boarding. The Starfleet is mainly used to Defend Jewel Space from pirates and Enemy scouts. About 25 billion beings are active members across the FSF. Capital ships are painted Black with some red, while the Home and Diplomatic Fleets are painted mostly Red, with some Black and Yellow. Starfighters have a multitude of paint colors.

Volta and Laser Weapons are extremely common among FSF ships, with plasma weapons scattered here and there, but rarely used as small arms. to its horrifying effects on living beings. Citizens have access to free healthcare, and things such as holo-phones and hovercars are also common.
