The Tyreseian Workers' Navy, sometimes just the Workers' Navy or the People's Navy, is the regular military of the Workers' Federation of Tyreseia. It consists of the Tyreseian Workers' Naval Fleet, Tyreseian Workers' Naval Infantry Service, Tyreseian Workers' Naval Air Service, the Republican Guard and the Workers' Militias.
History
From the late Bronze Age through to the 2nd century BCE, the ancient Tyrian civilization utterly dominated the commercial and martime spheres of the Periclean world, with a navy that remained unmatched for most of its history. The navy, being the primary beneficiary of the Tyrian state, quickly overshadowed the ancient army, which was eventually abolished entirely and replaced with temporary mercenary clans hired by wealthy merchant houses. These same houses would then bring their armies to bear against one another, leading to a century of constant infighting that ended in a Latin conquest of the region. The Latin Empire brought with it a strong army tradition, but little naval experience, and so much of the region's naval development was put on hold until the Latins withdrew. From the 7th century CE to the 19th, the numerous states and statelets of the Tyreseian region maintained their own fighting forces with their own strategies, doctrines and tactics, only brought under one command again in 1861 following the Proclamation of National Unity. The Tyreseian Workers' Navy claims a lineage of history and tradition back in some parts to all of these fighting forces, such as through the traditional doctrine of maritime primacy inherited from the Tyrians and the use of vexilli from the Latins.
The next iteration of a unified Tyreseian military began in the choas of the National Springtime, when the early fight for Tyreseian nationalism and unification was ironically carried out by numerous disjointed fighting forces. In 1848, the Tyreseian Republican Army (TRA) was raised in Oyat, the result of a coup that placed a pro-unification Consul in charge of the then-independent merchant city. The two militias that had placed the Consul in charge were merged into the TRA on October 14th, and thus became the direct ancestors to the Tyreseian Workers' Navy. The TRA quickly developed a maritime wing both through the existing Oyat fleet and through the seizure of a pirate haven in 1851, which bolstered their numbers considerably. Despite these successes, the conflict known as the First Unification War was still going poorly for the rebels; it would take an admiral from Tsabratan, Azmelqart Šidduni, siezing control of the TRA and subsuming the infantry units under naval control. Such a forward-thinking strategy helped net the first major Tyreseian victory in the war at Gadam in February 1853. An army from Tyria was en route to attack a numerically inferior militia in the coastal town of Gadam. Utilizing his naval power, Admiral Šidduni staged a night-time sneak attack on the Tyrian Royal Army, routing their forces and destroying their supply trains, forcing a rout. Such a surprise and sweeping victory led to the local militia and, eventually, the rest of the Tyreseian national military movement to consolidate under the Tyreseian Republican Navy's umbrella. The sudden consolidation of forces led to a lightning string of victories that ended the war in 1855, giving an unlikely victory for the rebels.
Modern History
Branches
The Tyreseian Republican Guard is the most versatile branch, and the branch most present in civil life. Consisting of numerous agencies and departments, the Guard is responsible for a wide variety of duties, from military policing and gendarmerie duties, to coordinating law enforcement and resolving labor disputes across municipal and communal lines to manning forensics labs and even operating as domestic counter-intelligence (though this duty is often shared with the Office of Naval Intelligence).
Ranks
The Tyreseian Workers' Navy branches are made up of numerous enlisted, non-commissioned officer, and commissioned officer ranks. A full table for each is included below.
