YOU CAN ADOPT THIS PAGE[edit]
NOTE: I started this page back when I felt comfortable being active on Sarna. While I still use the site, it is clear to me that I cannot be an Editor here. This page is a project I had very high hopes for, and if someone who intends to do something with it wants to move it over to their own space and work on getting it cleaned up, they may do so with my blessing.

Tactics[edit]
Despite starting with at least thirty-five WarShips, the Word of Blake Navy only concentrated forces twice: at Dieron in 3077, and at Terra in 3078. At other times ships were committed in relatively small numbers, which allowed their foes to defeat them in detail as the war ground on.[1]
History[edit]
Lacking any proper table of organization, all unit compositions are treated as ad hoc and applicable only to that particular battle.
(D) - Destroyed. (C) - Captured.
Entering 3058[edit]

--From Field Manual: Updates Page 90, turn that into a proper reference later.
