If you've ever wondered, how do Admirals in the Conar come to be Admirals, keep reading.
First to preface a little, The Conar Empire is ruled by Warlords in a kind of feudal system. Each Warlord or "Admiral" commands his own area as he sees fit. In his area he is the supreme power. Having said that, the power of the Conar comes from Admirals working together. There are Thousands of Admirals each commanding his own area, and trading with other Admirals for Personnel, Equipment, recreation or anything else they may need.
  About 300 years ago a group of Admirals retired to the home world decided that it would be advantageous  to have an governmental entity to quantify and organize the Empire's forces and help the Admirals to be better prepared. Over time this group has grown From what started as "Home Sector Security" to What is now known as "Upper Command". Home Sector Security is still there, only it has been directed by Upper Command; a group of retired Admirals who choose their own members.
  So to finally get to the point, To become an Admiral one of two things must happen. First an Admiral can be "Elected" or "Appointed" by at least ten other Admirals. Their territory would be given them by one or more Admirals, or come from a dead Admiral. Secondly, Upper Command has given themselves authority to appoint Admirals. Most often the new Admiral is given territory that has been divided from other Admirals areas. There is a heated debate among the hierarchy whether Upper Command has the authority to do this.
  More on this later.

Starship Classes

To Clarify, In MOAG there are a lot of different starship designations. However, the deffinitions vary greatly between millitaries. Even today Ship classifications are not an exact science. There are lots of different types of ships, each with their own pourpose and designation.

To list a few,

Patrol vessels

Gunboats

Torpedo Boats

Corvettes

Friggates, or Destroyer Escorts

Destroyers

Cruisers

Carriers

Battleships

Battlecruisers

Cutters

MS Trawlers

AWS Trawlers

Flotilla Leaders

Escort Carriers

Minelayers

Destroyer Tenders

Sloops

Oilers

Anti Aircraft Cruisers

Vehichle Landing Ships

Coastal Defense Ships

Boom Defense Vessels

Depot Ships

Repair Ships

Salvage Vessels

Dock Landers

Net Tenders

High Speed Transports

Tugs

Rescue Tugs

Submarines

And even more!

Dreadnaughts, Capitol Ships, and even Merchant vessels, Not to mention the "heavy" or "Light" Description on many.

As you can see, many ships fit into more than one class, and some of these classes may not fit into MOAG. However you may say, "What the heck is a AWS Trawler and how does it fit into MOAG?".Well, a Trawler typicaly pulls a set of towed Sensors for one perpose or annother. Some Warships in MOAG have the capability to launch a sensor Beacon, or tow a Decoy, somewhat reminiscent of modern Trawlers.

Anyway, seems i've run on long enuph for one Post.

C-ya.

Oh, and Bot, Im offended.
