The Liberty Navy Fifth Fleet Research and Development Division (Often shortened to R&D) is the developmental and scientific investigatory sector of the Fifth Fleet's operation. While not as divided as the LSF, the R&D Division provides its work to combatting outclassing of technology and investigation of extrasolar, extraterrestrial and potentially threatening sources which might do Liberty harm. Coordinating at times with other divisions, both inside and outside the fleet, R&D uses the minds it fields to develop advanced arms and defenses to keep Liberty at an edge over their opponents.
R&D primarily focuses on the development of armor to utilize against the Gallic war machine. This has also translated into developing hybrid weaponry to mount on fighters and capital ships, as well as developing new classes of warships altogether. Other sectors of development may pour on as projects are completed.
