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 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 Imperial galley that is used for patrols around Main Island. (Light Galley)
- The Broken Sabre: A Privateer Sloop-of-War, that patrols the wider area. (Light Ship)
- 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)
