The [[Kiravian Navy]] is a {{wp|blue-water navy}} tasked with defending Kiravian holdings and interests at sea. The contemporary Navy's primary concerns are defence of the Kiravian overseas colonies; the protection of Ixnayan and interregional sealanes vital to the Federacy's pluricontinental security, energy supply, and commercial navigation; and the projection of military power in support of Kiravian foreign policy. The Federal Navy relies on an extensive network of island bases and cutting-edge naval aviation and naval artillery to maintain a regionwide presence. | The [[Kiravian Navy]] is a {{wp|blue-water navy}} tasked with defending Kiravian holdings and interests at sea.

Provincial forces are regularly deployed in support of federal operations overseas, and are highly valued for their terrain specialties. For example, if fighting in a subarctic environment, the Federal Army would call upon the state troops of [[Koskenkorva]] or [[Saxalin Islands]] who routinely train in comparable conditions. | Provincial forces are regularly deployed in support of federal operations overseas, and are highly valued for their terrain specialties.

In | ===Maritime Cutter Service=== | ||
The [[Maritime Cutter Service|Cutter Service]] is the enforcement and operations agency of the [[Kiravian Maritime Executive|Federal Maritime Executive]]. In addition to its civilian functions, which include {{wp|search and rescue|search-and-rescue}}, marine law enforcement, and navigation safety; the Cutter Service has military and paramilitary roles, and remains a component of the Armed Forces by law. The Cutter Service is involved in {{wp|coastal defence}}, maritime surveillence, and {{wp|defence readiness}}. It bears primary responsibility for patrolling certain designated waterways, such as the [[Straits of Ilánova]] and the [[Æonara Sound]]. The Cutter Service trains and plans for combat missions as part of the Federacy's contingency plans for an invasion of [[Æonara]], [[Great Kirav]], or [[Suderavia]], and is actively involved in ensuring the security of [[New Ardmore]]. | |||
====Provincial and Thematic Navies==== | |||
The official geographic remit of the Cutter Service is limited to the waters surrounding [[Great Kirav]], [[Æonara]], [[Koskenkorva]], [[Suderavia]], and [[New Ardmore]]. Beyond these regions, {{wp|coast guard}} roles are performed by provincial maritime forces, such as the [[Sydona|Sydonan]] Navy and the consolidated [[Sarolasta|Sarolastan]] Thematic Navy. A few Mainland states - [[Fariva]], [[Kaviska]], [[Hanoram]], and [[Ventarya]] - maintain small naval auxiliaries largely limited to civil defence support roles. | |||
