Xelassian Space Fleet

The Xelassian Space Fleet controls the military spacecraft of the Republic of Xelass.

Remit
The XSF was founded to 'protect and further Xelassian interests in the theatre of space'.

Organisation
With 180,000 personnel, the XSF is the smallest of the Xelassian Armed Forces. Only around 10,000 of those personnel are trained for spaceflight- the majority provide technical support or are part of the force's administration.

The head of the XSF is Zavel Hdun, who has the rank of Space Admiral, which only he possesses. This is equivalent to the Naval rank of 'Vice Admiral' when the Xelassian Armed Forces are taken as a whole.

Below the Space Admiral are ten Rear Admirals. Following on from Rear Admirals are the fleet's captains, and then commanders. Commanders are above Lieutenant-Commanders, who are in turn above Lieutenants.

Below Lieutenants are the Midshipmen, who are the lowest-ranking commissioned officers.

The petty officers are the the non-commissioned officers of the XSF. They are then above Leading Spacemen, who are above Spacemen.
