Organization
The High Guard is divided into two branches: the Argosy (navy) and Lancer Corps (space marines). It operates a massive space fleet, consisting of every type of starship known to military science: deep standoff attack ships, frigates, destroyers, science vessels, couriers, corvettes, Lancer Corps troop transports, and so on.
Complementing the High Guard is the Home Guard, a type of National Guard planetary defense force. Each Systems Commonwealth member world has its own contingent of Home Guard personnel.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)

—Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
“In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone.”
