Legend
======
The System Guard Navies (SGN) started as part of the re-organization of the Galactic Navy after the slaughter
of 3 carrier-groups in interstellar space. They are a joint force between local Navies and the
Galactic Navy. The opportunity to buy war ships at reduced prices made the SGN attractive to most
local system governments. While mainly consisting out of local ships the Galactic Navy send some support
like medical ships, minesweepers and Constrictor Scouts.
In peace times the SGN supports Galcop and act as defense (and attack) fleet for the local system
government, rumors have it that even assassins, pirates and smugglers are using the SGN-identification-
code. However, in case of a Thargoid invasion a Galactic Navy officer is taking over command to lead the
ships into battle.
Personal remarks:
===============
Some people will tell that the System Guard Navies are to strong but long history is telling that certain governments
like dictators, communist and feudal will do everything to build a powerful military, even if their people suffer, and attack if
there is a chance. Keeping this in mind and include the idea of a joint force facing an enemy from outside the known
space I believe fleets would look like that, probably even stronger.
