Changes to the "Education" section

I took a bit more out of the ISB and split the enlisted and officer training into two paragraphs. However, I do not have the other source (Cracken's Rebel Operatives) and thus do not have any data on the "Imperial Naval College" or the "Officer's School". Would Sparqman show up and explain a bit more about what was said on these subjects so a better data-fusion could be achieved, please do so. - Kazuaki Shimazaki 10:23, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Imperial Naval College is mostly an aside mention as a sister school to the Imperial Academy as a secondary post-graduate school for work in naval combat and ship/fleet command. The Officer's School is actually from Planets of the Galaxy, a 1992 WEG book (should add to sources), and is a similar aside described as a school focused on preparing officer candidates. Kazuaki Shimazaki, you might be interested in applying your work to the Star Wars Wiki, where most of the Star Wars contributors from Wikipedia are migrating. --SparqMan 05:34, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I created a new link which I intend to use as a list of Imperial Navy personnel. I know it may not be complete, since we don't know everyone's name, but I did find some pages on Google that give names to some of the extras. I'm going to get it started and try to respond to this soon.- B-101 18:54, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Organization

I know that there isn't a lot of consistent information available on the topic, but I think it would be useful to have some information on how the Navy was organized, the unit levels (sector groups, fleets, battlegroups, etc.). I wrote this, but realized that I didn't have the time at the moment to finish the section: "Based on several Expanded Universe sources, it appears that the Imperial Navy used two methods of force deployment: sector and local defense, and roving patrols. It can also be assumed that a large segment of the Imperial Navy was devoted to defending and squelching rebellion in The Core" --SparqMan 06:51, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Prefix

I am removing "The ship prefix in the Imperial Navy is HIMS, His Imperial Majesty's Ship" from the article. I cannot find any canon or EU references to this prefix. The Imperial Navy generally used registry numbers, battle titles and ship names, but no prefix. Can anyone produce a source to support this claim? --SparqMan 20:43, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)


Umm....

If there is a real navy called the Imperial Navy, and a fictitious one, should the main article really be about the fictitious one? john k 07:20, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If the fictional navy is more often referenced, then it can have priority. Most people would be looking for "Imperial German Navy" or "Imperial Japanese Navy" anyway. Then there is the fictional Star Wars Imperial Navy, that has no alternate designation. Of course it gets priority. Kazuaki Shimazaki 09:02, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Starfleet?

Why does the first sentence say that the Imperial Navy is "more properly" the Imperial Starfleet? When did they call it that? If it's more proper to call it the Imperial Starfleet, why doesn't the title of this article reflect that, and just have "Imperial Navy" redirect to that? Don't get me wrong, I don't think we should do that; I think the "starfleet" bit should be removed from that first sentence and leave the starfleet stuff to the trekkies. But one or the other should be done, that's for sure. Anyone else? Kafziel 16:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
