The Lumenic Armada is the maritime service branch of the Lumenic Legion and is responsible for the protection of Lumenic territorial waters and assets at sea, as well as Lumenic interests abroad. The mision of the Lumenic Armada includes the preparation and maintenance of naval forces, including vessels and aircraft, necessary for the effective prosecution of war, and to be prepared to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations in support of the national interest.

Naming conventions

A class of vessel is assigned an identifier to be used when naming vessels of that class, usually the identifier will be a geographical feature, such as a river, mountain range or settlement. Vessels names generated for vessels within that class will follow the naming pattern set forth by the identifier. As an example, the Tusa-class of destroyers was named for the river Tusa, and its lead ship was the CLG-144 Tusa. Other ships in the class will also be named for rivers.

Any vessel of any class may be named in honor of a deceased prominent citizen or member of the Armed Forces.

Ranks

Commissioned

Officer's in the Lumenic Armada occupy positions of leadership and responsibility, assuming direct command responsibility for formations, and instillations of the service. Commissioned officers are considered commanding officers under royal authority and are directly commissioned by the King of Luminerra. A superior officer is an officer with a higher rank than another officer, who is a subordinate officer relative to the superior.

Officers may receive commissions within the Lumenic Armada through a number of methods, including attending the Lumenic War College or the Lumenic Armada Academy, attending a four year university which sponsors a Lumenic Army officer training program, or attending a officers candidate school sponsored by the Lumenic Armada. This latter option is the preferred method for enlisted servicemen and women to advance into commissioned officer ranks, though being a current member of the Lumenic Armada is not a requirement to attending OCS, however, all applicants, both existing service and new inductees, must possess a four year degree from an accredited university. In some rare cases, a two year degree in a specialized field may be accepted for OCS applicants. Graduates of either an officer training program from a four year university, or from either the Lumenic War College or Lumenic Armada Academy, will receive their degrees prior to commission, and will then attend an abbreviated officer candidate school designed to provide them with training deemed necessary for military applications.

In rare cases, are appointed by superior officers from enlisted or non-commissioned officer ranks through a process known as direct commissioning, which can occur as a battlefield promotion or be granted to a certified civilian professionals such as scientists, pharmacists, physicians, nurses, clergy, and attorneys. These soldiers will be directly commissioned upon entry into the Lumenic Armada. However, these officers generally do not exercise command authority outside of their specific branches, and are highly regulated along their career tracks.

Officers of the Lumenic Armada can be divided into three levels; junior officers, senior officers, and general officers. Junior officers consist of officers in ranks C-1 through C-3. These officers preform a variety of functions, often overseeing enlisted members of the Lumenic Armada in the execution of tasks. Senior officers are officers ranked C-4 and C-5. These officers generally hold staff positions for senior officers, but may command vessels of various size, or formations within the Armada, or are tasked with overseeing a group of junior officers and enlisted personal assigned to a specialized mission. General officers consist of officers ranking between C-6 and C-10 and command large elements of the Armada, such as larger vessels or formations of the Armada, or entire Armada instillations, and command missions and programs of great responsibility.

Warrant Officer

In the Lumenic Armada, warrant officers are known as sottufficiale and are considered to be non-commissioned officers, outranking the senior-most enlisted ranks but ranking below the officer grade of C‑1. They are primarily utilized to handle the upper administrative tasks of the Lumenic Armada, serving as senior non-commissioned officers at the brigade and division level. Warrant officers of the S-1, S-2 and S-3 grade do not receive a commission from the King of Luminerra, as commissioned officers do, but instead are appointed to their rank by the Legatos of the Lumenic Legion.  Warrant officers holding the ranks of S-4 and S-5 are, however, do receive their commission from the King of Luminerra and are therefore considered to be commissioned officers.

Sottufficiales are often employed in highly skilled, single-track specialty roles. In general, the Lumenic Armada utilizes Sottufficiales in two ways; as aviators and technical specialists. Sottufficiales aviators will command both fixed wing and rotar wing aircraft, as well as lead, coach, train, and counsel subordinates. In some cases, a Sottufficiales may also command detachments, units, activities, vessels, aircraft, and armored vehicles. A Sottufficiale technical specialist would be primarily tasked to serve as a technical expert, providing valuable skills, guidance, and expertise to commanders and organizations in their particular field.

One special exception to this general rule is the rank of Maresciallo della marina or Marshal of the Navy, who serves as the senior most non-commissioned officer in the Lumenic Armada. The Maresciallo della marina is appointed to serve as a spokesman to address the issues of enlisted soldiers to all officers, from other Sottufficiales and Sottotenente's to the Armada's highest positions. in effect making the Maresciallo della marina the senior most enlisted advisor to the Grand ammiraglio, or the General of the Armada. The exact duties vary depending on the Armada's current Maresciallo di flotta, though much of the Maresciallo della marina's time is spent traveling throughout the nation to various Armada posts and facilities, observing training and talking with soldiers and their families.
