Class B Fleet Base

UnClass B Fleet Base

The gargantuan organisation that is the United Stars Navy has everything tightly regulated. Everything is quantified, codified and spelled out in so called NAV REGS.

A Class B Fleet Base is the second largest Standard Fleet Base Class means that there is a prepared NAV REG covering everything from construction, to operation and staffing requirements. A Class B must be big enough to service and house the entire crews of an entire Battle Group (hence the B) and be able to service and repair any ship class in the fleet it is supposed to support. The purpose of a Fleet base is to provide supplies, logistics to that fleet. Have staff and offices for Personnel, Administration etc. Medical facilities big enough to service wounded and sick. Provide housing and recreation to Service families including schools, shopping facilities and similar services. It must provide enough landing space to accommodate all ships of that battle group if necessary. In addition to all that a Class B Fleet Base must provide security, intelligence and support for the region it is placed. Further requirements are Laboratories, Holding facilities, Military Police etc.

Since a standard Union Battle Group consists of: five Arsenal ships, five carriers five Dreadnoughts, 20 Ultra Battle Ships, 100 Battle ships, 200 Super cruisers, 80 heavy destroyers, Marine troop ships and over 200 other support craft, a Class B must usually be located on a planet. Personnel and Support Personnel can easily reach 1-2 Million individuals.
