Coalition Expeditionary Forces

Overview
The Coalition Expeditionary Forces are the main focal point of the role-play. They are a combination of frontier police, military, and scientists. They are tasked with the mapping of the frontier, the protection of the frontiers colonist, and are typically those that meet xeno's first. Highly trained and typically hand picked from the Coalition standard military and certain civilian markets.

For the most part, each ship in the CEF acts independently without an oversight of a administrative bureaucracy. This is due to the nature of their missions. However, they do answer directly the Admiralty board.
