03/01/11(Tue)20:20 No.23932641>>23932008 Well, I worked up six possible Equestrian armed forces for my ongoing NationStates "fanfic":
The Royal Equestrian Army (REA). Composed mostly of Earth Ponies, it forms the bulk of the Equestrian land forces. Elite members of the REA are sometimes chosen to serve as Princess Celestia's personal bodyguards.
The Royal Equestrian Navy (REN). Also composed mostly of Earth Ponies, it supports Celestia's rule over Equestria's seas and other major water bodies.
The Royal Equestrian Air Force (REAF). Composed mostly of Pegasus Ponies, it works alongside the REA, maintaining air superiority over the battle space through weather control and aerial assault/bombardment. Elite members of the REA are sometimes chosen for Princess Celestia's personal guard and Royal Chariot Service.
The Royal Equestrian Naval Air Corps (RENAC). A smaller service, attached to the REN, it serves much the same function as the REAF, only over water.
The Royal Equestrian Mage Service (REMS). This service provides Unicorns, who are attached to the other military services. They use their unique magical talents in specialist positions as "force multipliers". The REMS also serves as Celestia's military intelligence service, gathering, processing, and transmitting intelligence about hostile forces.
The Royal Equestrian Submarine Expeditionary Force (RESEF). This service, composed of Sea Pony volunteers, works alongside the REN, though independently from it. The RESEF provides naval escort protection, search and rescue, and conducts irregular submarine warfare operations. |
