COG Navy

Lore & Background

The COG Navy was instrumental in maintaining supply lines and enforcing blockades during the Pendulum Wars. Its fleet, composed of heavily armed destroyers and patrol craft, dominated Sera's seas. After Emergence Day, the Navy adapted to coastal defense and evacuation operations, though many vessels were lost to the Locust Horde's attacks on naval infrastructure. Key engagements include the defense of key coastal installations and support for ground operations, such as the evacuation of civilians from port cities.

In Their Own Story

The rain lashed against the reinforced hull of the patrol vessel as it drifted near the Jacinto perimeter. Ensign Kael gripped the railing, watching the distant glow of the city's floodlights cut through the storm. Orders were clear: no ships in or out without clearance. A small skiff approached silently from the darkness, engines dead. The deck crew raised their Lancer rifles, silhouettes sharp against the lightning. This was the war at sea—quiet, tense, and deadly.

Reader's Guide

The Coalition of Ordered Governments Navy served as the maritime arm of humanity's primary defense force during the Pendulum Wars and the Locust Conflict. While overshadowed by the iconic Lancers and Air Force, naval units were vital for securing supply lines across Sera's vast oceans. Their primary objective shifted from inter-state warfare to enforcing critical blockades, most notably around Jacinto City following Emergence Day. Personnel consisted of specialized sailors, gunners, and logistics coordinators trained for high-seas combat and transport duties. Unlike ground troops who faced the Locust in underground tunnels, naval crews patrolled surface waters to prevent enemy infiltration via sea routes or unauthorized civilian escape from quarantine zones. Their vessels ranged from heavy destroyers to smaller patrol craft, all equipped with standard COG weaponry adapted for maritime environments. During the Lambent crisis, naval assets were repurposed to support evacuation efforts and bombardment of coastal strongholds. However, as the threat moved inland and underground, their strategic importance waned compared to ground infantry. Despite this, they remained a crucial logistical backbone, ensuring ammunition and reinforcements reached besieged cities until the final days of the war. Their legacy is one of silent endurance on the waves while the world burned below.

Did You Know?

• The COG Navy's destroyers were often retrofitted with heavy artillery for shore bombardment.
• During the Pendulum Wars, the Navy conducted covert operations to disrupt UIR supply routes.
• After Emergence Day, the Locust Horde lacked a navy, so COG vessels were primarily lost to attacks on naval infrastructure rather than capture or scuttling.
• The Navy's patrol craft were vital for evacuating civilians from coastal cities.
• Some COG admirals advocated for a larger naval presence, but budget constraints limited expansion.
