	Those that have completed active service within the Tau Ceti Armed Forces can apply to have their student debt covered by the '''Tau Ceti Corporate Scholarship''' funded by the constituent megacorporations of the [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]] – which has become a popular method among the youth of Biesel to ensure an education, where they might not have been able to afford it prior to enlisting. Though believed to have gotten better since the creation of the Tau Ceti Armed Forces, there is still a notable bias to non-humans, with a majority of them being deployed to the dangerous regions where injuries and casualties are more likely to occur, but there is yet to see whether this will hamper non-humans from ascending the ranks.

			==== The Bloody Century ====
			Either famous or infamous depending on one’s news sources, the Bloody Century was for a time, the most talked about unit of the newly formed Tau Ceti Armed Forces. An overstrength century, it is composed exclusively of Unathi and Tajara veterans of the wars of Moghes, Adhomai, and Gakal’zaal, and is considered the most experienced and effective line unit of the Minutemen.

			The Century rose to prominence on Mictlan, where rumors about their efficacy and ruthlessness spread. After footage displaying the unit’s atrocities leaked and spread all over the Extranet, Mictlani civilians and insurgents alike began to fear the scarlet red hand used as the century’s icon. Several calls to dismantle the unit have been made in the halls of Tau Ceti’s parliament, but the Minutemen have rejected every one. It carved a swathe of destruction through Samaritan occupied territories as a raiding party, and was the first unit on the beachhead during the failed Operation Jakali. Since the conclusion of the Peacekeeper Mandate on Mictlan, the Bloody Century has been set upon Western CRZ, occupying a string of smaller colonies where, should the ongoing ceasefire break down, they will be able to take the fight directly to Solarian insurgents.

			==== Zo’ra’s Chosen ====
			A century of [[Vaurca]] warriors, Zo’ra’s Chosen are an example of the fighting prowess of the Zo’ra hive. They are a mobile infantry century, relying on gunships, transport shuttles, and fast maneuver warfare to destroy their enemies. An experimental concept for the TCFL and TCAF, mobile infantry centuries were introduced as an attempt to develop counter insurgency units for fighting on Mictlan. Vaurca specifically were chosen to pioneer these centuries, due to their hivenet allowing near instantaneous communication, allowing for unprecedented levels of coordination. Since their introduction, Zo’ra’s Chosen have quietly won battle after battle, using their high level of information sharing and coordination to consistently outmaneuver their opponents. However, unlike other units, their style of fast maneuver warfare can only be practiced under certain battlefield conditions, such as the lack of enemy anti-air and consistent resupply.

			== Mictlan Defense Force ==

			The Mictlan Defense Force in the years following the Solarian Collapse has undergone upheaval after upheaval. It is one of the two planetary defense forces within the Republic of Biesel, technically under the aegis of the Tau Ceti Armed Forces, but separate, organized by, and loyal to the Mictlani government. While previously it was under Tau Ceti Foreign Legion control, then Minutemen, the end of the Peacekeeper Mandate for Mictlan has seen the MDF re-emerge as a semi-independent force, much better equipped than in the past and dedicated to the defense of the planet. Despite its semi-independent nature, Biesel Security forces still closely watch the MDF, and ensure its continued loyalty to the Republic.

			Considered the most well-equipped and funded, the Tau Ceti Minutemen have access to high-quality military apparatus and training, provided mostly by the ever-giving megacorporations that dominate the Orion Spur. However, the majority of the articles have their origins in Kumar Arms – a subsidiary of Zavodskoi Interstellar – which has grown considerably within the [[Republic of Biesel]] since the collapse of the Solarian Alliance and the diminishment of the market there, funnelling armaments into the Tau Ceti Armed Forces. Kumar Arms was responsible for providing equipment during the days of the Tau Ceti Foreign Legion’s campaign on Mictlan, with the majority of the military equipment found usually sporting a [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]] logo – which has created some tension with Mictlani and the megacorporation.

Salaries within the Tau Ceti Minutemen are above that of the other services branches within the armed forces, having remained at their Peacekeeper Mandate levels following the “successful” conclusion of the Mictlan campaign. The increased salary margins have shown some success in encouraging enlistment within the Tau Ceti Armed Forces – in particular, those seeking to join the ranks of the Minutemen, even those promoted from within the Foreign Legion desiring a position in the former once they’ve completed their active service requirements.

The Tau Ceti Minutemen have instituted standardised training across those within its structures – despite its recent formation and little experience, the Minutemen have already contracted the [[Private Military Contracting Group]] in order to commence training its troops – with each of the associated private military companies within the megacorporation having a unique usage in the training. The end of the Peacekeeper Mandate and the Minutemen’s commitment to Mictlan has only increased the rate of training given to the Minutemen, as veteran combat troops now return home with newly gained experience. It is the hope of the Tau Ceti Minutemen that eventually they will phase out the third-party training, where a sufficient number has been reached where they can rely on themselves to train Recruit Legionnaires, and those seeking to climb the military ranks of the service branch. The branch’s main backbone sees support from veterans of the Tau Ceti Foreign Legion that have elected to continue their military career with the Minutemen, the majority of which maintain deployment within the eastern jungles of [[Mictlan]], attempting to bring the planet into unity. However, it is unlikely without additional training and experience that the Minutemen would manage to rival stronger powers.

While touted as a successful campaign publicly, many within the higher echelons of the Minutemen believe the campaign was a failure, the new Armed Forces being unable to wipe out the Samaritans in totality. The reasons for this perceived failure vary, with many blaming politicians, fearful of the civilian unrest within Tau Ceti’s gravity well, being often blamed for the failure and resulting peace deal. The campaign has left deep scars that will persist for years in the foundation of the Minutemen as well, as a year of riot suppression, willful ignorance of atrocities, and poor command cultures in the face of insurgencies have pushed back professionalization of the Minutemen significantly. It is unclear when, or if, they will be able to shake the remnants of the Peacekeeper Mandate off, and become a fully professional force.

	Compounding these issues is a lack of trust between ex-TCFL and ex-Solarian Navy personnel in the Republican Fleets, and species-based tensions between formerly Solarian Navy personnel and the nonhuman members of the Republican Fleets. Many former TCFL personnel view their ex-Navy counterparts with distrust and apprehension, fearing many will defect to the [[Sol Alliance\|Alliance]] – or the SPLF – in the event of a serious conflict, and believing many are more loyal to the Credits they earn than the ideals of the Republic. Ex-Navy personnel look down upon their ex-TCFL counterparts, viewing them as jumped-up corporate militias who have never won an engagement without outside assistance. Species-based tensions are common, with vaurca and tajara often banned from serving on ex-Solarian vessels by their captains and ex-Solarian personnel often restricted from Legion vessels.

			== Auxiliary Corporate Forces ==

			In addition to being a corporate paramilitary organization, the Auxiliary Corporate Forces are a proper branch of the Tau Ceti Armed Forces, providing the new Armed Forces with a professional and well-equipped backbone, as they are largely funded by their parent corporations and equipped with top-notch arsenals. In contrast to the Minutemen, Fleets, and Legion, who are still relatively untrained, underequipped, and nascent organizations, the Auxiliary Corporate Forces, with its well-trained mercenaries, can provide the Republic with short-term protection.

			It seems wasteful to invest heavily in building a military for an organization focused on making money, and many expected the Auxiliary Corporate Forces to be ill-equipped, corporations reluctant to spend money on combat. The megacorporations, especially NanoTrasen, have now realized, though, that if the new anti-corporate [[Sol Alliance\|Solarian Alliance]] ever had another “rogue actor” who decided to invade again and succeeded, the power they enjoy within the Republic of Biesel would be moot. The cost of protecting the Republic's profitable assets until the new armed forces could do that for them was worth the cost, even if their profit margins dwindled slightly.

			Members are mainly recruited from [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]] or the [[Private Military Contracting Group]], although [[Hephaestus Industries]], and [[NanoTrasen]] do also contribute to the ranks. While the Auxiliary Corporate Forces has some larger formations, such as fleets and legion-sized formations, roughly half its personnel are organized into smaller Maniple formations that support bigger Minutemen or Fleet formations. Though publicly the Auxiliary Corporate Forces operate as a branch of the Tau Ceti Armed Forces, swearing allegiance to the [[Republic of Biesel]] and its government, it is an open-secret their priorities rest in ensuring the protection of megacorporate assets.

			Recruitment for the Auxiliary Corporate Forces relies on carefully selected personnel from the constituent megacorporations within the [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]], where it is unlikely that a standard employee within any particular security detail would be selected, but instead those that draw the eye of those capable of shifting the balances – in particular, those within higher management of the megacorporations.

			=== Operational Unit Structure ===

			The operational structure of the Auxiliary Corporate Forces is essentially non-existent, as units from different corporations use the structure they had prior to the advent of the Auxiliary Corporate Forces. Most squad-sized units follow a slightly more complex version of the structure used by the famed NanoTrasen Emegency Response Teams.

			=== Equipment and Personnel ===

Some have even been galvanized by the rhetoric of Samaritan forces, spelling an uncertain future for the Republic’s most celebrated and hated heroes.

			== Republican Fleets ==

			The Republican Fleets are regarded by many as a less prestigious branch of the TCAF, their reputation rooted in the failure of the Foreign Legion’s naval forces to repel the '''Second Solarian Incursion of 2462''' without external assistance from other powers. Badly mauled during the Second Incursion, the remaining naval forces of [[Tau Ceti]] have been bolstered by Solarian defectors from the [[Corporate Reconstruction Zone]] who are often of debatable loyalty, talent, and skill. The Republican Fleets are mostly equipped with formerly Solarian Navy vessels which fell under the control of [[Biesel]] during the Solarian Collapse. While effective patrol craft, many of these vessels are dated and are in the process of being retrofitted after extended periods of sitting mothballed in the Solarian Middle and Outer Ring. [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]] is heavily involved in the modernization of many of these vessels and some have been sent as far afield as Zhurong in the [[Empire of Dominia]] for work as the Corporate Reconstruction Zone’s largest naval yard, the planet of '''Hang Tuah’s Rest''' in the Hinterlands, lies firmly under the control of the anti-Biesel and Solarian Navy-supported '''Solarian People’s Liberation Fleet'''. Government funding for the Republican Fleets is limited, with the Tau Ceti Minutemen receiving far more funding and corporate equipment.

			A culture of corruption permeates the Republican Fleets due to many of its personnel being former Solarian Navy officers from the more corrupt, and less professional, Middle and Outer Ring sections of the Alliance’s Navy. Bribes to receive ranks are common, and many Republican Fleet officers are willing to look the other way for crimes such as smuggling in exchange for a cut of the profits – or illegal goods such as narcotics. Surplus equipment owned by the Republican Fleets often “goes missing” from storehouses and naval yards, and many of its logistics personnel are suspected of embezzlement or other forms of malfeasance. Though, megacorporations seem to benefit from these “missing” goods – [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]] profiteering from lucrative contracts to replace them. Private military vessels and outside observers assigned to the Republican Fleets remark that, while they are effective patrol forces, they are less effective than their regional counterparts. Imperial Fleet liaison officers from the [[Empire of Dominia]], sent in conjunction with Zavodskoi Interstellar to train the Republican Fleet’s officers, have repeatedly expressed frustration at the poor quality of many TCAF naval officers. Most of the Republican Fleet’s strength is concentrated at the Zoleth Line, where the TCAF hopes the presence of heavy static defences will supplement their dated vessels and often poor officers.

			=== Operational Unit Structure ===
			The Republican Fleets operate within Quadrants, designed by the Secretary of Defense [[The Trasens\|Nathan Trasen]], to ensure a consistent force is capable of tackling any issues – in conjunction with megacorporate fleets patrolling – that may crop up within these regions. The Republican Fleet is composed differently than the Minutemen, instead, approaching a rather simple scheme: Sub-Quadrant, Fleet Group, Fleet, Ship, Department, Shift, Team.

			==== Fleet Sectors ====

			The Republican Fleet has three sectors they maintain consistent patrol of, in particular built around Tau Ceti, to ensure where necessary a defensive front can be launched.

			<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
			'''Tau Ceti'''
			<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

			This sector covers Tau Ceti’s gravity well, out to the Romanavich Cloud. Five fleet groups are assigned to the overall sector and used in both subsectors. It is considered a training ground for the Fleet as new recruits are first assigned here to learn the ropes of their vessels under the watchful eye of paid mercenaries and foreign naval officers. Very little of note for the fleet occurs within Tau Ceti’s gravity well, and the vast majority of operations revolve around stopping smugglers or responding to distress beacons. The ships in the Tau Ceti sector are some of the oldest and least upgraded, with many dating to before Biesel’s independence.

			</div></div>

			<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
			'''Eastern Corporate Reconstruction Zone'''
			<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

			Covering the [[Corporate Reconstruction Zone]] to the galactic east of [[Tau Ceti]], the Eastern Sector is further divided up into North Eastern and South Eastern, each having two fleet groups assigned to it. The threat of invasion is negligible, and naval operations in the Eastern CRZ are almost entirely logistical; supporting the Minutemen’s deployment on Mictlan, keeping trade lanes clear of pirates, and protecting corporate assets. Most ships deployed to the Eastern CRZ will perform the same task for months on end, before rotating out to [[Mictlan]] for shore leave. Fleet vessels assigned to this area often interact with Coalition and Elyran vessels, and rarely encounter Solarian vessels.

			</div></div>

			<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
			'''Western Corporate Reconstruction Zone'''
			<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

			Boarding the [[Sol Alliance\|Solarian Alliance]], the Western Sector boasts the largest number of Republican Fleet ships of any sector as it contains the Zoleth Line and other defensive installations with the goal of fighting off another invasion. It has no sub-sectors, with each fleet group assigned an area of operations across along the length of the Zoleth Line. The best ships and personnel are sent to the Western CRZ, as in the eyes of the Republic, the [[Sol Alliance\|Solarian Alliance]] and its statelets remain the largest threat. Those deployed to the Western CRZ see more action than most other fleets, dealing with everything from refugees, pirates, both unaligned and remnants of the Southern Fleet Administration such as its 23 Tactical Group (commonly known as Beauchamp’s Marauders), the now ceased SSMD raids, as well as protecting Orchid Moon, NanoTrasen’s mining outpost in Valley Hale.

			The main duty of the Western CRZ Fleets is to contain and combat the '''Solarian People’s Liberation Fleet (SPLF)''', which is based alongside a region of the Western CRZ bordering the [[Sol Alliance\|Alliance]] known as the Hinterlands. Home the largest naval yard in the CRZ in the orbit of the panthalassic world of '''Hang Tuah’s Rest''', itself the headquarters of the SPLF, the Hinterlands are a vehemently pro-Sol and anti-Biesel section of the CRZ which has remained out of Biesel’s control since the Collapse due to the intervention of the 15th, 16th, and 17th squadrons of the 35th Fleet under the command of Mictlani Solarian Navy officer Agustín Cabanas. Commander Cabanas, a defector from the Solarian Restoration Front, has rallied an unlikely combination of Solarian Navy vessels, System Defense Forces, and militarized civilian vessels and has consistently outmanoeuvred and defeated his Biesellite counterparts. As the Solarian Civil War draws to a close the TCAF and SPLF are currently in a semi-formal ceasefire negotiated by local Republican Fleet leaders, but most believe it is only a matter of time before combat flares up again.

			=== Equipment and Personnel ===
			Recently formed, the Republican Fleet is just starting the long process of building up their strength, both in terms of personnel and equipment. Unlike the Minutemen or Foreign Legion, there is no readily available surplus of corporate-produced equipment available for the Republican Fleets. Already, both have been contracted to ensure that the Fleets shall be at full operational level, however, it is expected to take at least three years to reach number’s deemed adequate. For now, the Fleet makes use of the absorbed Tau Ceti Foreign Legion ships and vessels acquired during the annexation of the Corporate Reconstruction Zone in 2462. In a perhaps bitter irony, much of the Fleet meant to protect the Republic from the Alliance consists of formerly Solarian vessels – some pulled from mothballed storage and others defected from regional Navy garrisons..

			Personnel within the Fleets have lower salaries than their counterparts in the Minutemen – significantly lowering morale, and recruitment – further necessitating the retention of formerly Solarian Navy personnel. The poor salaries of Fleet personnel has contributed to the culture of corruption which now defines much of its ranks, as the personnel who cannot make ends meet with their Fleet salaries often find themselves turning to graft, embezzlement, or smuggling. Promises of pay raises by the TCAF and President Dorn have done little to curb the corruption of the Republican Fleets, and few officers wish to investigate the financial crimes of their subordinates. After all, they are often on the take themselves.

			Training within the Fleets is poor compared to the other branches, Captains struggle to find downtime to allow their crewmen to engage in simulators, and get accustomed to the routine regarding drills. There is a sharp divide in practical ability between the personnel of the Tau Ceti Foreign Legion, those formerly of the Solarian Navy, and new recruits from the [[Republic of Biesel\|Republic]] and [[Corporate Reconstruction Zone]]. Further complicating issues are conflicts in leadership between ex-Solarian Navy and ex-TCFL officers, who often have radically different outlooks on naval strategies. The hiring of foreign officers from the Elyran Navy, Imperial Fleet, and Coalition to train Republican Fleet personnel has brought some success, but a unified command structure remains some time away.

			Compounding these issues is a lack of trust between ex-TCFL and ex-Solarian Navy personnel in the Republican Fleets, and species-based tensions between formerly Solarian Navy personnel and the nonhuman members of the Republican Fleets. Many former TCFL personnel view their ex-Navy counterparts with distrust and apprehension, fearing many will defect to the [[Sol Alliance\|Alliance]] – or the SPLF – in the event of a serious conflict, and believing many are more loyal to the Credits they earn than the ideals of the Republic. Ex-Navy personnel look down upon their ex-TCFL counterparts, viewing them as jumped-up corporate militias who have never won an engagement without outside assistance. Species-based tensions are common, with vaurca and tajara often banned from serving on ex-Solarian vessels by their captains and ex-Solarian personnel often restricted from Legion vessels.

	==== Tau Ceti Powered Support Detachment ====		==== Tau Ceti Powered Support Detachment ====
	The Tau Ceti Powered Support Detachment is a [[Vaurca\|Vaurcaesian]] special operations unit specializing in providing heavy fire and sabotage on the battlefield while maintaining more flexibility and mobility than a traditional mechanized unit through the extensive use of small, highly augmented, and equipped groups. It is composed of and supplied almost entirely by the Vaurcae of the Court of Queens, primarily the [[Vaurca_Hives\|Zo’ra Hive]] and falls under the command of the Tau Ceti Armed Forces. The Powered Support Detachment, abbreviated as "PSD" among soldiers of the Armed Forces, consists normally of two roughly century-sized detachments each named after famous cities and locations from Vaurca history and mythology, though the nature of the species means they can be rapidly shifted between the two or split into several smaller teams depending on equipment availability, cost and need. Vaurca who are moved from the PSD to another deployment by the Queens typically have their augments removed and replaced with ones more appropriate to the job.
