Fighter post

Fighter Posts

Fighter Post is a Union Spatial Navy term for an outpost or remote base with a permanent contingent of space fighter craft.

In general terms any Union Spatial Navy installation smaller than a Fleet Base. However in specific USN terms there are of course regulations and official definitions.

Fighter Post Type 2 Installation with 3 to 5 wings

Figher Post Type 3 Installations with 6 - 10 wings

Fighter posts may be part of an installation including joint branch stations, but are always under USN command.

Fighter bases are under the command of a Fighter Base commandant. The actual rank varies with Post size.
