Faction History
The Corona Battlegroup was a small Liberty Navy flotilla initially formed to patrol California to help fight the increased amounts of pirate activity in the system. Upon formation it consisted of a Liberty Assault Battle Cruiser, several Liberty Gunboats, and several bomber and fighter wings. However, soon after Captain Scarlet Orias took command of the battlegroup, its focus shifted drastically and it became more of a research and development branch supported by its own personal fleet than an actually battlegroup as its base of operations moved from California to Ames Research Station and Colorado. This transformation was used to cover up high clearance research, involving adapting alien tech, furthering the understanding of the nomad threat, weapon development, and other important projects since, on paper at least, it was still a standard battlegroup, albeit one with a highly developed trade and support fleet behind it. Of course, the battlegroup still maintains patrols within the Colorado system to maintain its cover but it also provides escorts for supply convoys going to and from Ames Research Station and all large ships are expected to keep a small contingent of scientists on board at all times to provide a heavily fortified space to conduct high end military experimental projects.

Faction'€™s Goals
The primary goals of the Corona Battlegroup include; providing an intricate, mobile, and heavily fortified system of laboratories to further increase the Liberty Navy'€™s scientific development, maintain and supply a primary laboratory at Ames Research Station, and to gather, create, and preform in field test of experimental technology.

Divisions
Combat Division
[Image: combatdivheight150.png]
On paper this is the primary division of the Corona Battlegroup, however after taking its new direction, in practice this is the least important division. Its official duty is to patrol the tradelanes of Colorado, but while this duty is performed it has a more important purpose. Unofficially, the primary duty of the combat division is to provide combat support for the rest of the Corona Battlegroup in the form of escorting both researchers and supply convoys. Other duties consist of providing mobile laboratories on capital ships, live testing of experimental weaponry on fighters, and maintaining the battlegroup's false front of being a primarily combat driven branch of the Liberty Navy.

Research and Development Division
[Image: sciencedivheight150.png]
The true heart of the Corona Battlegroup, this division leads at the forefront of Liberty Navy research and development and takes on the highest priority projects. They develop experimental weaponry, preform tests to better understand nomads and the threat they provide, and other projects to better Liberty as a whole.

Supply and Engineering Division
[Image: supplydivheight150.png]
If the R&D division is the heart of the Corona Battlegroup then the Supply and Engineering division is the backbone. It is what brings supplies needed to preform the experiments preformed by the R&D division. Without this division the rest of the Corona Battlegroup would fall apart.

Sidenote: We are still getting permission from Ames and if we are not granted it we will switch to another Research Station

a navy faction with non-pvp based RP...interesting.
I personally would choose willard research station in california instead of ames.
however wish ya good luck.

Corona Battlegroup(Researchers and Snubcraft Pilots Needed) - Sylvie557 - 05-26-2011

Well, the reasoning behind Ames is inRP is misdirection, since other factions wouldn't think that important naval research would be going on at a zoner base. Reasoning ooRP is it gives us an excuse to interact with others outside of Liberty and the Navy.

Oh and thanks.

Willard is also already being used by the Lincoln Research Institute.

Sounds interesting so far, will consider joining.

We are currently looking for a Research Division head at the moment, let me know if you are interested.

Corona Battlegroup(Researchers and Snubcraft Pilots Needed) - Sylvie557 - 06-12-2011

Still looking for a research division head, scientists, haulers, and fighters/bomber pilots. Caps are welcome as well(cruiser and down since we are trying to limit BSs) but the others are needed more.

Corona Battlegroup(Researchers and Snubcraft Pilots Needed) - Sylvie557 - 06-25-2011

Research and Combat Division heads filled, need Researchers and Snubcraft Pilots but still accepting all who wanna join.
