The Merchant Marine of Burgundie refers to either Burgundian civilian mariners, or to Burgundian civilian and nationally owned merchant vessels. Both the civilian mariners and the merchant vessels are managed by a combination of the government and private sectors and engage in commerce or transportation of goods and services in and out of the navigable waters of Burgundie. The Merchant Marine primarily transports cargo and passengers during peacetime; in times of war, the Merchant Marine can be an auxiliary to the Navy of Burgundie, and can be called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel for the military. Merchant Marine officers may also be commissioned as military officers by the Department of Civil Defense and Security. This is commonly achieved by commissioning unlimited tonnage Merchant Marine officers as Strategic Sealift Officers in the Naval Reserves.

The Merchant Marine of Burgundie refers to either [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] civilian mariners, or to [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] civilian and nationally owned merchant vessels . Both the civilian mariners and the merchant vessels are managed by a combination of the government (Ministry of Commerce and private sector and engage in commerce or transportation of goods and services in and out of the navigable waters of [[Burgundie]] and on behalf of [[Burgundie]] on national contracts. It also serves as the defacto Merchant Marine of [[Cartadania]]. The Merchant Marine primarily transports cargo and passengers during peacetime; in times of war, the Merchant Marine can be an auxiliary to the [[Navy of Burgundie]], and can be called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel for the military.

==Cartadanian relationship==
 
The [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] merchant fleet became the defacto merchant marine of [[Cartadania]] through a series of legal and passive actions taken on the parts of both nations. When the [[Bergendii]] ceded administrative control of [[Aumiers|Aumiers colony]] to Maresia Regio in [[1573]] a number of advisors and merchants were retained. The merchants were so skilled at bringing revenue for the rulers that [[Bergendii]] merchants, increasingly those of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] owned and sailed the majority of ships coming into surrounding ports. During the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]], the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] secured warrants for trade monopolies in most ports of [[Cartadania]] and through royal marriages to the [[House of De Pardo]] to some ports in [[Pelaxia]] as well. These monopoly warrants were largely rescinded in the partition period with only a few remained by the dissolution of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]]. During the 19th century the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] carried [[Caratdania]]n cargo off and on as the political winds and priorities shifted, namely the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] and the [[First Fratricide]]. The expanding colony in [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] was taking up most of the resources and time of the [[Burgoignesc South Levantine Trading Company|Company]] but trade to and from [[Cartadania]] was vital to the colonies growth.
 
After the unification of [[Burgundie]] in [[1875]], the various assets of the merchant fleets working from [[Burgundie]] came under the definition of the Merchant Marine of Burgundie. During the [[First Great War|First]] and [[Second Great War]], the Merchant Marine of Burgundie provided vital supplies to [[Cartadania]] in its campaigns against [[Caphiria]] and resupplied the [[Cartadanian Navy]] at sea. While it is not the legally bound body to serve the nation of [[Cartadania]]'s maritime merchant capability, it is, to this operating in that capacity without competition from locals.


The federal government maintains fleets of merchant ships via organizations such as Military Sealift Command (part of the Navy of Burgundie) and the Royal Defense Reserve Fleet, which is managed by the Royal Burgundian Maritime Administration. In 2030, the government employed only 5% of all Burgundian water transportation workers with large conglomerates and trade associations employing the remainder.
==Early Modern Era==


== Late Modern Era ==
[[Nanseetcuket]]'s Chappaquiddick coast was made internationally famous in the 1800s and early 1900s as a death trap for international shipping. Numerous [[Kiravia]]n and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] merchant marine ships were dashed against the rocks in mysterious storms. These sailors were considered the best storm sailors in the world due to their experience in the [[Kilikas Storm Belt]] and were the vanguard of an international effort to engage [[Nanseetucket]] by the global community. The [[Burgoignesc Maritime Navigation Administration]] calculates that between [[1804]] and [[1914]] 78 [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] merchant ships were destroyed on the rocks, shoals, and shores of Chappaquiddick. The [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] Maritime Biographer Laureate Maurie-Joseph Copecnee laments that the ports of [[Nanseetucket]] were "gravid with mercantile potential. Our national future in [[Nanseetucket]] was cut short by the enmity of the insolent Chappaquiddick."

From [[1935]]-[[1940]] the Merchant Marine supported the [[Royal Arcerion Naval Service]] during [[Operation Flyhook]] through a "technical support/non-combatant" role as negotiated by the [[Arcerion|Arcer]] admiralty and the [[Navy of Burgundie|Burgoignesc Defense Attache]]. The Merchant Marine was designated as the appropriate intergovernmental conduit because it was not a member of the armed forces. From [[1935]]-[[1937]] two submarine tenders were seconded from the [[Navy of Burgundie]] to the Merchant Marine for this purpose, the {{wpl|HMS Mackay (D70)|Armed Merchantman De Loite}} and the {{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1912)|Submarine Tender Femmepier}} and later {{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1937)|Submarine Tender Femmepier 1ier Classe}}.
=====Femmepier=====
{{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1912)|Submarine Tender Femmepier}} ran aground while being chased by a [[The Cape|Capetian]] destroyer and was scuttled on March 5th, [[1936]]. Her crew was captured by the [[The Cape|Capetians]] and held ransom to stop [[Burgundie]]'s "technical support/non-combatant" to the [[Arcerion]]s. This did no come to pass and a daring raid by the newly created Special Boat Service commandos freed 84 of the 150 men who had been imprisoned after negotiations fell apart in [[1938]]. The rest of the crew and 6 of the 27 commandos died in the ensuing firefight and explosions.


=====De Loite=====
{{wpl|HMS Mackay (D70)|Armed Merchantman De Loite}} was designed as a large, fast and heavily armed flotilla leader, commissioned in [[1919]]. She served in this capacity until [[1932]] when she was retrofitted as an combat submarine tender, a role she excelled in. Upon the signing of the agreement between [[Arcerion]] and [[Burgundie]] she was reclassified as an armed merchantman for diplomatic purposes, her crew was transerred to another  ship with the exception of her captain and the deck gunnery crews who were seconded to the {{wpl|United States Navy Armed Guard|Merchant Armed Guard}}.


=====Femmepier 1ier Classe=====
After the scuttling of the {{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1912)|Submarine Tender Femmepier}}, was replaced with the new {{wpl|HMS Maidstone (1937)|Submarine Tender Femmepier 1ier Classe}}. She served


===[[Operation Kipling]]===
During [[Operation Kipling]]'s Kandaran Anti-Communist War 12 merchant marine ships and other commercial ships from various other nations were caught in Lake X in northern [[Kandara]] when the X River was blocked by communist forces supported by the [[Alshar]] ComIntern. This rag tag flotilla was called the Yellow Fleet.
