The Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces,
Generalissimo Sandor Bathory-O'Toole
is pleased to introduce you to the
Defense Capabilities of the Union of
San Patricio:
The San Patricio Navy ("The Great
Gray
Fleet"), finally completed in the year 218, is spearheaded
by the
formidable vessels of the Rickles-Class of Heavy-Comic Cruisers.
Pictured here is the flagship +SPS Shecky Greene+.
San Patrician land forces are composed
entirely of The Da's Own Rifles (Los Rifleros Federales),
an elite corps
of marksmen whose founder, Don Juan Diego McCaffery McHugh, is
embalmed
for ease of public viewing at the Museo Nacional de los Heroes
Sanpatricianos.

Rapid Response Team rushing to defend the Union's interests during
last year's Nova Luxa crisis.)
Invasion by sea would be a
foolhardy gambit for any enemy of the Union. If an attacker were
fortunate enough to evade the San Patrician ships, he would surely
fall
within the 15km-range of the Navy's extensive system of Great
Shore
Batteries, largest guns in Vexillium as of the year 202.
In time of national emergency, The
Da is empowered to deploy
any member of the vast San Patricio commercial fleet in service
of the Navy.
Here is pictured an innocent-looking merchantman of the Las Vegas-Class,
clandestinely loaded to the bulwarks with weaponry of a highly
classified nature.

secret" that to see it you have to click
