The New Lunar Empire is a faction centered focused on the defense of its members and allies through swift and effective action. While other factions bicker on the forums, the NLE takes action to defend itself against aggressors, and retaliate. In order to eliminate bureaucratic inefficiencies, the NLE is run by a council headed by the Empress. Each of the NLE's four branches has an appointed official to represent their interests in the running of the faction.
History
Founded on July 9th, 2013 as the New Lunar Republic, the faction initially gained traction during the Summer 2013 population boom. It soon emerged as a major player in the galactic political scene, quickly becoming a major member of the largest alliance of the time, the Unified Alliance of Factions. Eventually the NLR was raised to the head faction of the UAF, and the Empress LunaMoonbringer appointed as Secretary-General. After the dissolution of the UAF, the NLR went into dormancy for many months, eventually reemerging in April of 2014 as the New Lunar Empire. Since then it has been constructing new ships and redesigning old ones while increasing its presence on the Elwyn Eternity server.Branches
The NLE is split up into 4 branches: First Fleet, Second Fleet, Industrial Operations, and Construction. Each branch has a single council representative, and has equal political power.First Fleet
First Fleet is the Vanguard of the New Lunar Empire. It is the face of the shield, and edge of the sword. Headed by Admiral DreadShimmra, it is at the forefront of all campaigns. It follows a naval rank structure that allows for pilots to remain with fighter craft, eventually leading a squadron, or to branch off and become an officer flying anything from corvettes to battleships.Second Fleet
Second Fleet is the NLE's special operations fleet, concerning reconnaissance and stealth operations. Infiltration, sabotage, and espionage are their game. Furthermore, they provide support roles to the main fleet, including but not limited to power supply, power drain, misdirection, and providing chaff fields.Industrial Operations
Industrial Operations is concerned with profit and production, and is responsible for ensuring that the NLE never runs short of the resources it needs to wage war. It is split into two sections: Financial Operations and Production. Financial Operations is focused around trade, and handles trade agreements with other factions, delivery of resources, and the purchasing and selling of items. Production deals with mining and salvaging, and operates the factories to produce the materials needed to create new ships.Construction
Construction, like Industrial Operations, is split into two sections: Engineering and Architecture. Engineering is the design of ship systems and weaponry, whereas Architecture is the construction of ship hulls and space stations. When a new recruit decides to choose the building track, they will have a one-week trial period in which they determine which section they wish to choose. Afterwards, they will be asked to choose a partner in the opposite section, who they will work with as they gain experience. Therefore, engineers will eventually figure out the best system shapes for their partner's building styles, and architects will learn the best ways to shape their ships for efficiency.The Royal Lunar Navy
