Haluan Navy
The largest organization in the Haluan Empire, the Haluan Navy plays many roles. From defense and protection to expansion and exploration; from law enforcement and regulation to protection of commerce and trade; the Haluan Navy is the primary and frontal facing organization of the empire. Most, if not all, of the interactions that the citizens of the empire will have with the government will be with members of the Haluan Navy.
While the initial role of the Navy, at its founding, was protection and expansion, the Navy has expanded in scope exponentially. The Navy is the interpersonal arm of the Haluan Empire, reaching out to the people of the empire and being the face for the emperor. Because of this, the Navy has become the police force, the oceanic guards, the political mediators, and the military presence in the seas.
In addition to all that the Navy does for the people of the empire, it also must engage in warfare on the seas. While the seas around the empire have historically been peaceful, in the last 50 years, pirates and terrors from the deeps have been on the rise. Due to this, the Navy has increased in both number and intensive training of recruits.

History
86 PR: Haluan Navy is founded under the rule of Talathriel Halua. Initial goal of exploration, expansion, and diplomacy to neighboring islands.
86 PR - 377 PR: The Navy followed a soft-handed approach, emphasizing peaceful integration by using diplomacy to expand its imperial influence without the use of force.
377 PR - 383 PR: Under the reign of Theoden Halua, the Navy's role shifted to aggressive expansion of territory, becoming more militarized and forceful in expanding the borders. These years were marked with rebellions and internal strife that arose as a result of Theoden's aggressive policies.
383 PR - Present: Under the more moderate and peaceful rule of Emperor Tyrael Halua, the role of the Navy stabilized. Through the help of the Council of Elders, Tyrael was able to restore stability after Theoden was assassinated. The role of the Navy returned to peacekeeping. Over time, though, the aggressive expansion and naval strategy under Theoden began to return.
Present: The Navy currently resides in all facets of life within the Empire. They are also expanding and exploring more aggressively. This is mostly in response to the rise in maritime threats, both from pirates and monsters, across the Empire.
