The Vederiction of Resource Alliance (also referred to as the V.R.A. or Unity of Mankind), is a military organization established by Humans originating from the Horovine star system.
Origin
The V.R.A. was established in 13419 HSY as a means to organize mankind into an efficient fighting force should hostile extra terrestrial races impede into Human space. With the discovery of the Jevorons many deemed it necessary to prepare for such a potential war. Operating under a creed that devotes effort to the securing of resources and defensive matters, the V.R.A. forces all civilians to participate in some way to aid mankind’s fight against their quarrelsome neighbors. Through the will of humanity and the sheer numbers of people involved, the V.R.A. has managed to hold back all and any invader.
Operation
The V.R.A. is overseen by a lead General, and command of certain departments branch off to a series of Colonels under his command. Most of the V.R.A. is split into divisions that manufacture particular ships to aid in military operations, and each of these divisions is headed by a Colonel. All civilians are indoctrinated into the V.R.A. at birth and eventually grown to provide some service to the organization's goals. Service in the V.R.A. is commonly divided into passive and active categories: passive service being jobs that most often do not have anything to directly do with combat, while active service includes everything from being an infantry soldier to a warship captain.
