Aionian Phalanx
The Aionian Phalanx
--PENDING--
Creation
To facilitate the creation of the Aionian Phalanx, an ancient Havocyn named Seraphis Zetetikos, was awakened with urgent priority from their entropic freeze. This wizened warrior was one of the foremost experts on void warfare held within the sacred vaults of Djedefre-Khonsu. With the blessing of the Imperator Princept, Osirion Kheprite, Seraphis was named the Supreme Navigarch of the Aionian Phalanx Navy and was placed in overall command of all naval assets. Under their guidance, all existing naval assets of Ascent underwent retrofits and reorganization.
The few assets that Ascent did have were primarily dedicated to the planetary defense of Ikaros. Deeming this a vital strategic goal given the proximity of Ikaros to the new center of Beacon Space politics, Seraphis formed the armada; Eternity’s Vanguard. To accomplish this task, numerous Shai’Tanu were prioritized in the awakening order so that the creation of Ascent’s first armada could be expedited. Quickly adapting the ships using ancient, archived data vaults, and integrating more cutting-edge, prototype technology from Ascent, the armada’s creation was accomplished in a matter of months, as opposed to years.
The Supreme Navigarch organized each ship into an Aegis Fleet, and the armada was made up of five total Aegis Fleets. Each future armada would follow the same outline. The decision was made to utilize the vastly larger population of Ascent to staff each ship, which culminated with a grand draft on Ikaros. Each ship would feature a contingent of Ma’atgat officers from the Epistratum.

Every ship shall be staffed by several Synesphers, an Aegis Fleet's command vessel will additionally be staffed by a Symbiarch, who assumes operational command of the Aegis Fleet. An armada, or five Aegis Fleets, will be led by a Praetorian. Larger ships than what is allocated to an Aegis Fleet are commanded by a Navigarch. The overall naval command rests with the Supreme Navigarch.
