Kaiserliche Marine

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

The Marine had ten vessels in commission at its height, six resulting from the fleet merger with the Sovereign Aezenfjord Navy. The imperial flagship was the Sylene-Class Frigate Sylene (EKS R-0001B)* (destroyed). One warship was currently under construction during the ascension of Escharia, an Aezenfjord-Class at Aezenfjord Naval Yards.

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

Heimatflotte (Lileanen) (destroyed)

Roseflotte (Aezenfjord) (SAN)

Lilieflotte (Urnu-Arrak) (UTEN)

Perleflotte (Neurun) (Neurun)

There were three designated naval bases from which the KM constructed 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 used 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.
