International Navy (Reach)

The International Navy (IN) [ˌɪntərˈnæʃənəl ˈneɪvi], French: Marine Internationale (MI) [maʁin eɛ̃tɛʁnasjɔnal], was an international military organization, founded and directed by the United Nations Security Council. It was founded on February 12, 2131, three years after the battle of Earth and the pyrrhic human victory, by the signing of the Treaty of Oslo by 189 nations. Less than three months later, on May 2, the ISA was officially integrated within the IN as its scientific and exploratory branch. The organization was based in Sydney, Australia, but had a presence in New York City as well.

The IN was divided into two major departments: the Terrestrial Forces, an organ directing IN group forces across the Solar system, and the Space Forces, or the Navy, which encompassed all spaceships in IN control. At the time of the Second Invasion, the Navy owned over fifty destroyers, twenty corvettes and carriers. The IN is known to have had a presence in the Kuiper belt, as well as Rhea and Charon.

The International Navy was disbanded on December 18, 2176, following the unification under the banner of the United Nations, and was, subsequently, replaced by the present-day United Nations Navy.
