Kaiserliche Marine

The Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) is the naval warfare arm of the Escharian Imperial Military. It is headquartered in Admiralty House in Lileanen, its primary port. The Kaiserliche Marine obtains its ship designs from the Sovereign Aezenfjord Navy's shipbuilding and design department at the Naval College of Aezenfjord, an arrangement that has existed since the Marine's inception. Both navies are currently headed by Admiral Johannes von Sudenwald.

The Marine has ten vessels in commission, six resulting from the fleet merger with the Sovereign Aezenfjord Navy. The imperial flagship is the Sylene-Class Frigate Sylene (EKS R-0001B)*. One warship is currently under construction, an Aezenfjord-Class at Aezenfjord Naval Yards.

There are four fleets stationed at different ports to aid with the organisation and planning of fleet operations:

Heimatflotte (Lileanen)

Roseflotte (Aezenfjord)

Lilieflotte (Urnu-Arrak)

Perleflotte (Neurun)

There are three designated naval bases from which the KM constructs new vessels:

KMS (Kaiserlicher Marinestützpunkt) Ostsee at Lileanen

KMS Südsee at Aezenfjord (also home to the Shipbuilding and Design Campus of the Sovereign Aezenfjord Navy)

KMS Perlenmeer at Neurun

The KM uses the naval prefix EKS (Escharisches Kriegsschiff) for its warships, and EHS (Escharisches Handelsschiff) for merchant vessels.

* Hull Registry Number. EKS is the naval prefix, R signifies a commissioned ship, followed by a five digit number identifying the ship within its class, and a single letter class designation. For example, Sylene 's HRN is EKS R-0001B. 0001 means it is the first of its class constructed for the KM, and B is the designation for a Sylene-Class vessel.
