The Falcarian Navy is the naval branch of the Falcarian Defence Force. It is the official successor of the Turtonian Navy and is based out of the Port of Maronia. Originally intended soley for ceremonial purposes; The Falcarian Navy has since obtained seaworthy vessels and have become an active component in other peacetime tasks such as carriers for the Royal Falcarian Postal Service.
