Logistics and Fleet Composition of the VRZ
Ranks of the VRZ
High Admiral is a rank that corresponds to the overall head of the VRZ.
An Admiral, Upper Grade, is an officer in charge of Assault Fleet level formations but may also command a named fleet. Upper Grade Admirals often command entire system fleets. Admiral, Lower Grade is a rank that has the authority to command any division-level force. Admiral, Lower Grades can be asked to command forces smaller than divisions or larger than divisions, but generally not a force in the strength range of an Assault Fleet. Vice-Admirals command vessel-groupings up to brigade in size. Captain is the high rank attainable for individual vessel command. Captains are the commanders of the largest vessels in the VRZ. Commanders are officers most often found in command of cruiser-type warships. Vessel Name: Type; Hull Code Jlokhemit Natynozhskaya: Dreadnought; BBD

Composition of the VRZ
A brigade is the smallest front line combat formation. Brigades make up the primary building block of larger VRZ formations, the division.
Divisions are commanded by Admirals and High Hunters. Divisions consist of about 430 superkapital ships supported by a single large flagship type and many thousands of supporting ships - reactor ships, relay ships, interdictor ships, haulers, and assault transports; capital vessels can be accompanied by as few as one hundred supporting vessels types and up to as many as one thousand. Divisions are capable of taking and holding star systems. The VRZ operates 150 Divisions. Above the division level are Assault Fleets. Assault Fleets are made up of five divisions and are very powerful formations that field over two thousand superkapital ships. The VRZ operates six primary fleets that are commanded by five experienced commanders. These fleets contain the vast majority of Nalydian warships - all of the 30 Assault Fleets. Rift Fleets and Patrol Fleets are formations comprised of rift cruisers. These are used to patrol segments of space the Pords deem necessary to patrol. There are fifteen Patrol Fleets within each Rift Fleet, and the VRZ currently operates 515 Rift Fleets. Each Rift Fleet contains 540 vessels. Formations Nalydian 1st Fleet "Arbiters of Winter"
