Imperial Navy

The Imperial Navy is the navy of the Directian Empire. It is far and away the largest navy in the world and one of two navies possesing blue water capability, the other being Erusia's. The majority of the Imperial Navy is stationed either in the Bay of Belfast, at the Imperial Navies headquarters in Solstice or in the Samar Bay. The Imperial Navy uses INV as its prefix for its warships, INV standing for Imperail Naval Vessels.

The Imperial Navy currently consists of 63 warships including 6 Swordsman Class Galleys, 27 Warrior Class Frigates, 27 Venator Class Heavy Frigates, and 3 Dreadnought Class Dreadnoughts. The Imperial Navy has currently commissioned 5 additional Warrior Class Frigates, 5 Venator Class Heavy Frigates, and 5 Dreadnought Class Dreadnoughts which would bring the navy's total to 76.

The Directus's navy during its republican years employed a great number of Swordsman Class Galleys but they have fallen out use due either to destruction in combat or dismantlement for parts. and it now only possesses 6 Swordsmans with no plans to construct new vessels.

The Imperial Navy has continually stationed a fleet at the mouth of the Bay of Belfast since 2051 untiil it was finally forced to remove the fleet in 2092 in order to use it against Samarkand. The Imperial Navy has also stationed a fleet at the mouth of the Samar Bay since 2069.
