Caprica
Political Information Government Type: Representative Democracy Head of State: President Lockley Motto: Honi soit qui mal y pense
Societal Information Capital City: Caprica City Official Language: Caprican Demonym: Caprican Official Anthem: Caprica Anthem
Historical Background
Caprica is the culmination of several distinct political entities and geographical regions. It was believed that Caprica originated as a small yet prosperous maritime and trade state known as Cellaris. Cellaris remains within the territorial holdings of Caprica and is a crucial technology hub.
As a nation founded on maritime trading, Cellaris soon expanded to include Port Serenity and Port Vallis (the current location of Caprica City). With a variety of important cultural information unearthed during a large scale archaeological expedition on Port Serenity, an age of understanding and enlightenment ensued. Loosely affiliated groups soon came to appreciate their shared ancestry. This common link led to a shift in government type as the population of Caprica strive to meet the ideals and values of their ancient forefathers.
Caprica is a founding member of Confederacy of Sovereign Utopian Nations, a pan-Utopian alliance with common values and goals.
MILITARY RECORDS
Caprican Naval Service
First Sea Lord - Fleet Admiral Thaan Telmora
Tasked primarily with the defence of Caprican territorial waters, the Caprican Channel Fleet acts as the primary safeguard for the the capital city: Caprica City. Its maintenance is of paramount importance to the Caprican Defence Council and as such, it is considered one of the most prestigious assignments for Caprican Naval staff.
The Grand Fleet
Commanding Officer: Vice Admiral Deltos Quinn
Flagship: CS Caprica City – ASC-01
The primary Caprican fleet which is tasked with suppressing threats abroad is the most highly decorated, sophisticated and venerable of all Caprican fleets. A physical extension of Caprica's power, the Grand Fleet is often the first into combat. The Grand fleet proved its worth during the Caprica-Lantean War. At this time, the Grand Fleet is part of a joint task force with Satsumarian vessels in the Gulf of New Turkonia. The fleet is currently upholding the sovereignty of Turkonia against any potential outside threats.
3rd Fleet
Commanding Officer: Rear Admiral Julius Aros
Flagship: CS Royal Sovereign
The 3rd Fleet is comprised of a wide variety of ships and is often tasked with difficult and long term assignments. Facing the Lantean naval force during the Caprica-Lantean War led to a relatively high loss of life. Since the conclusion of that war the 3rd Fleet has remained in the North Sea region to ensure a strict defence of CSUN holdings in that region. Ships of this fleet often patrol the armistice line surrounding Lantea's waters. Stationed at the joint Confederacy dockyards due west of Hesperia, the 3rd Fleet is ever watchful of potential threats.
Ships: CS Royal Sovereign – LAC-01
CS Cellaris – LAC-02
CS Victory – CARR-01
CS Golden Lion – CARR-02
CS Albion – AAC-01
CS Lords of Kobol – BB-05
CS Guardian – DII-03
CS Hector – DII-10
CS Charles V – DII-11
CS Nonsuch – D-05
CS Goliath – D06
4th Fleet
Commanding Officer: Commodore Salo Voltaris
Flagship: CS Aphrodite
The 4th Fleet is the youngest and the most lightly armed of the combined Caprican fleets. Despite its youth, the fleet under it's inaugural commanding officer, Commodore Voltaris, has been tasked with the crucial role of asserting a Caprican presence over the sparsely populated Western Ocean theatre. The 4th Fleet will maintain a vigil over the Western hemisphere and will resupply at the Confederate port in Elysium.
Caprican Air Force
Chief of the Air Staff - Air Chief Marshall Silas Fenn
TBC
Caprican Army
Chief of the General Staff - General William Wolfe
TBC
Caprican Starfleet
Head of Starfleet - Fleet Admiral Alice Mansfield
Flagship: CSS Ares
Caprica's space fleet, known simply as the Caprican Starfleet, is a multi-purpose organisation comprised of a wide variety of spaceborne vessels. With a two pronged goal of long term exploration of space and for providing defence for Caprica and her Confederate allies, the Caprican Starfleet is a crucial quasi-military aspect of the Caprican government. Working in tandem with the Confederate Starfleet, many of Caprica's vessels also serve under a combined CSUN banner.

Cellarian News Agency Special Report
With the exponential increase of regional tensions, the governing body of the Republic of Cellaris has been acutely aware of the lack of defensive military technology available in the event of foreign aggression.
The Cellarian Engineering Corps (CEC) has been hard at work to meet the high demand for high quality hardware to protect Cellaris' now booming trade lanes, safeguarding territorial possessions and most importantly: the provision of blanket defence for the population of Central Cellaris.
With these worthy yet weighty goals in mind, the CEC has strived to meet stringent deadlines and is nearing completion of several projects. The following are the new additions to Cellarian military assets:
The mainstay of the newly formed Peacekeeper Fleet, the Republic Frigate is armed with several twin turbolasers cannons and when rolled out into service will offer a perfect balance between manoeuvrability and firepower.
---
AT-TE (All Terrain Tactical Enforcer) Division
The heavy hitting ground aspect of Cellarian forces is armed with a top mounted mass-driver cannon and several laser cannons.
---
Venator Class Star Destroyer (Republic Attack Cruiser) Quantity Planned: 2+
The pinnacle of Cellarian technology. The first of the Cellarian Venator-class cruisers is nearing completion. The first of its class, the Tranquility, will serve as the Republic of Cellaris' flagship; armed with 8 heavy dual turbolaser turrets, two medium dual turbolaser cannons, fifty-two point-defence dual laser cannons and four heavy proton torpedo tubes, the Tranquility will be the most heavily armed vessel produced by the CEC to date and will afford Cellaris the ability to defend its borders, insure stability in its locality and also will allow Cellaris the ability to finally extend mutual protection to its already militarily advanced allies in Utopia.
Imperial Rawrtony certainly finds the style of Cellaris'... large cruiser.. familiar. It is certainly well engineered!
That said, Imperial Rawrtony will recognize this Venerator class as a Republic Cruiser.. So not to confuse designations and individuality with Rawrtony's own Acclimator Star Destroyer.

The Republic of Cellaris acknowledges that Tranquility shares many traits of the older Acclamator class designs.
Although, the sleek figure of the newer Venator-class certainly remains distinctive amongst the vessels of other Utopian nations. The Venator leaves little to be desired and in the Republics defense there certainly is nothing wrong with harkening back to antiquated designs when moving into the future.
As a show of good faith, the Republic is willing to concede to designating the Tranquility and her successors as Republic Attack Cruisers rather than Star Destroyers, especially seeing as the term "Star Destroyers" seems unsuitably vulgar and aggressive a name for a Cellarian ship, however, it will also help to avoid any confusion between our respective nations ships.
The United States of Lantea Congratulates you on the military hardware that you have constructed, the venator is a wonder to our people and we wish you luck with the future designs.

ANNOUNCEMENT: ARES CLASS CRUISER
As time has progressed, Cellaris has blossomed into a multi-state, multi-government entity. With this slow and steady expansion, Vallis (as the collective states are now recognised) has long seen the need to expand its scientific, exploratory and defensive technology. The Vallisian Guild of Engineers in partnership with the Cellarian Engineering Corporation has worked extensively with experts from other CSUN states. Their task was to design a set of vessels suitable for long range exploration as well as being militarily capable.
This long term project has begun to come to fruition in the form of the Ares class cruiser. This cruiser (despite being more than capable of exploration and scientific experimentation) is first and foremost a warship. As the Republic Cruisers are slowly being decommissioned in favour of these more modern vessels, the Ares class will become the main line of defensive for Vallis and her allies.
Another important aspect of this project is the creation of the Korolev class heavy cruiser. This particular ship is geared more towards long term exploration and will be equipped with a variety of internationally sourced technology. The first ship of its class is due to be released in the immediate future.
Several of each new class are expected to be produced and assigned to a variety of tasks. The maiden voyage of the Ares has seen her rendezvous with the Excalibur in the Northern Sea region.
