 ====== Finaroka Naval Base ======
-Finaroka Naval base sits next to the town's small harbour, and is home to Officers and Crew of the small military fleet that operates from here, under the command of Commodore Patricia ‘Patch’ Yarbro.  Once larger, the fleet has been reduced to two small ships and a couple of patrol boats.  While Commodore Yarbro has requested more support from the Imperial Navy, none has been forthcoming.  While Commodore Yarbro is based at Finaroke, her primary function (as far as the empire is concerned) is to protect Hann merchants and their vessels on their various sea voyages - in practice, her vessels spend most of their time patrolling the waters around Finaroka.   Commodore Yarbro finds it frustrating that she is not able to do her job properly, and that she is not supposed to be helping with the settlement of the mainland.  However, The Teazer often calls in at  Flower Quay to take on water and make a courtesy visit.
+Finaroka Naval base sits next to the town's small harbour, and is home to Officers and Crew of the small military fleet that operates from here, under Commander Patricia ‘Patch’ Yarbro. She is tasked with providing a secure base and environment for Imperial shipping, as they go about their business.  There are colonization efforts on the mainland and other islands and trade with the mine at Ozrym, and Finaroka is fast becoming the favourite departure point for expeditions to The Drai Shon Archipelago. Once larger, the fleet has been reduced to the bare minimum; Commander Yarbro has requested more support from the Imperial Navy, but none has been forthcoming. However, other people have stepped up to help bolster her small fleet, although this has led to an unconventional mixture of vessels and crew.
 The fleet consists of …
-  * //IS Jaguar//: a small galley that is used for local defensive patrols  (Light Galley)
+  * //[[IS Jaguar]]//: a small Imperial galley that is used for patrols around Main Island.  (Light Galley)
-  * //[[The Broken Sabre]]//: A Sloop-of-War assigned here by Angasa & Galinia  (Light Ship)
+  * //[[The Broken Sabre]]//: A Privateer Sloop-of-War, that patrols the wider area.  (Light Ship)
-  * //[[Kismet]]//: A Pinnace gifted from the Magic University in The Complex (part of the Strongholds)
+  * //[[Kismet]]//: A Pinnace, owned by the governor, that patrols the harbour and local waters at Finaroka town.
   * //Finch//:  The Commodore's personal launch (Ship's Boat)
