Hokay, second pass incorporating some of Cobalt's stuff & a few things from my own research. Comment at will.
====== Operation Great Justice ======
**Operation Great Justice (OGJ)** is the formal name of Fenspace's interfactional military forces. OGJ was formed at the conclusion of SOS-Con on May xx, 2012 to fight the increasing [[gazetteer:factions:boskonians|Boskonian] pirate incursions.
OGJ is a multifactional force composed of elements of the [[gazetteer:factions:United Federation of Planets] Starfleet, the [[gazetteer:factions:Galactic Republic] Navy, the [[gazetteer:factions:Crystal Millennium] Senshi Armed Milita, and numerous single contributions from the smaller factions and the unaligned fen. OGJ's forces comprise the only active handwavium-based military force in the solar system.
Operation Great Justice is commanded by the [[gazetteer:factions:SOS-dan], along with a council of representatives from the major factions. OGJ as an entity is authorized by the [[Conventions].
===== Mission =====
According to the SOS-Con Accord which created OGJ:
//Operation Great Justice shall be organized, trained and equipped to defend the united nations and habitats of the greater Solar System and all traffic between them from aggressive acts that imperil the security of the Solar System.//
Initially this mission included interfactional law-enforcement duties; these powers were split off into the [[Space Patrol] at SerenityCon in 2013 in order to maintain OGJ's focus on eliminating the centralized Boskone threat.
===== History =====
Operation Great Justice first came into existence when the [[gazetteer:factions:SOS-dan] called a convention in May 2012 under the Emergency clauses of the [[gazetteer:government:Articles of Convention]. As it progressed however, the multi-factional nature of the organisation started to cause small problems. These were gradually exacerbated by the command style of the SOS-dan, particularly their leader [[chars:Haruhi Suzumiya].
While the operational side of OGJ continued with some difficulties, the administrative side became more complex and irregular as internal arguments disrupted effectiveness until May 2013 where the ongoing differences of opinion caused [[chars:Noah Scott] to be removed from the general staff. This caused the arguments to become public as Operation Great Justice Supreme Command was evicted from //[[ships:Stellvia]// and moved to //[[ships:Grover's Corners]//.
Discussions surrounding how Operation Great Justice was being prosecuted continued until SerenityCon, when the attack there caused a reorganisation of the command structure due to the influx of resources.
The SOS-dan, while retaining nominal overall command of Operation Great Justice, were moved to the strategic and intelligence analysis command structure where their demonstrated talents could be best used, while operational and administrative command passed to elements of the other factions. The foundation of the [[Space Patrol] helped simplify things, as the previously existing interfactional law enforcement duties were taken up by that organisation.
This leaner, more efficient organisation proved to be far more effective in its first major operation (Fleet Operation Attila) against the staging base for the Serenity-Con attack, Boskone One.
Following the end of The Boskone War, Operation Great Justice has become less obvious as assets seconded for the war effort were released back to their respective factions. All the factions currently rotate some assets through on two year tours of duty, whilst still engaging in co-operative manoeuvres.
===== Administrative organization =====
Operation Great Justice is run by the General Council, a body consisting of the SOS-dan, the senior military command staff and representatives of the member factions. The Council is responsible for OGJ policy and (when necessary) if military action needs to be taken. When decisions are made, action is agreed upon on the basis of unanimity and common accord; there is no voting or decision by majority. Each faction represented in the Council retains complete sovereignity and responsibility for its own decisions.
===== Operational organization =====
OGJ's military operations are directed by OGJ Supreme Command, a subset of the General Council composed of the senior military commanders. Supreme Command is commanded by the Supreme Allied Commander Fenspace (SACFEN, or just "Supreme Commander").
===== Culture =====
==== Uniforms ====
Operation Great Justice doesn't have a uniform //per se//; all of the faction forces have their own uniforms, and independent elements tend to emphasize their independence. Supreme Commander Suzumiya has been seen several times wearing a particular red uniform with epaulets (seen most often in OGJ recruiting posters) but this has not become the official OGJ uniform by any means.
==== Awards and badges ====
==== Grade Structure and Insignias ====
OGJ uses a modified version of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/NATO|NATO] grade structure in order to keep the various faction militaries from stepping all over each other. OGJ forces in this case would continue to use their internal rank insignia.
For example, using the two major "military" rank scales:
^ Operation Great Justice Grade Scale ^^^
^ Rank ^ Federation Starfleet ^ Republic Navy ^
^ OF-10 | Fleet Admiral | Grand Admiral |
^ OF-09 | Admiral | Admiral |
^ OF-08 | Vice Admiral | |
^ OF-07 | Rear Admiral | |
^ OF-06 | Captain | Commander |
^ OF-05 | Commander | |
^ OF-04 | Lt. Commander | |
^ OF-03 | Lieutenant | Lieutenant |
^ OF-02 | Lt. j.g. | |
^ OF-01 | Ensign | |
^ OF(D) | Midshipman | Midshipman |
Independent Great Justice operatives - known collectively as "troubleshooters" - have nominal rankings of Grade 5 to Grade 8, depending on the nature of their operations. As an example, Noah Scott holds an OGJ rank of OF-08 due to his connections to the high command.
Troubleshooters don't wear OGJ insignia, but are issued a specialized warrant card with their bonafides and nomina rank attached.
