The Formosa Armed Forces, known as FAF, serves to protect the citizens of Formosa and Formosa's allies. It is comprised of three major branches, Formosa Army (FA), Formosa Navy (FN), and Formosa Support Forces (FSF), and six minor branches. The major rank of General of Military is yet to be determined. The FAF is seeking military allies; it is currently allied with Kenthurst Fort, Atlantis Defense Force, Maplelyn Air Force, Kitania Intelligence Agency, Armed Forces of Sealane, Kelvinside, Ellesume, Ezzo City, and Spruce Neck Armed Forces as well as all forces in MATO.

Headquarters

The headquarters for the FAF are located in Diamond Sector of Formosa, in a highly secure building. Offices for each major officer are included, along with briefing and conference rooms, and a highly secretive war room. Entry is only admitted to FAF officers with ranks O-8 and above, and SC or GM approved guests, usually allied officers. A branch headquarters is located in Phoenix Valley.

The Formosa Naval Base (Island) consists of three main islands. The first island contains the Navy's command center, which has a ground level and a below-ground level. The second island is the entrance to the Navy Dockyard. It can be accessed by the general public and normal sailors through the Yellow Bridge, a drawbridge several meters above sea level and can be accessed through elevators in both pillars. There is a second underground entrance, but is restricted to officers. The Navy Dockyard consists of multiple piers that house off-duty ships, each of which has a boarding ramp and a reinforced elevator. The third island is being used as a dock for the airship F.S. Laputa (CVNA-1). There are four piers for the Dockyard, which also has its own rail line:

Pier A: Vacant (miscellaneous ships)
Pier 1: F.S. Formosa (DDG-1)
Pier 2A: F.S. Camelfantasy (DDG-2)

F.S. Formosa

F.S. Formosa at Naval Base (Island)

F.S. Formosa

The F.S. Formosa's keel was laid on April 11, 2015. Construction was completed in 24 days, on May 5, 2015, and she will join Carrier Strike Group 1. She is the lead and sole (currently) ship of her class. F.S. Formosa has been designed as a stealth guided missile destroyer. The weapons are not controlled directly from the weapon body as traditional warships are; rather, they are controlled remotely from Deck 2 of the bridge. The destroyer has been designed to reduce the number of sailors required. An usual crew requires between 100-120 sailors (including officers). F.S. Formosa has only served in one major conflict, The Battle of the Wild Cows, when the wild cows on the western bank of Formosa's river refused to move and even charged at some of the surveyors. The sight of the ship sailing up the river, however, frightened them away immediately, and the land was taken easily.

F.S. Camelfantasy

The F.S. Camelfantasy was constructed on October 25, 2015 in the time frame of less than one second.

F.S. Parramatta

The Air Forces Navy has a base at UCWTIA near Formosa, which includes 1 Aether II-class cruiser, 5 F-35s, 2 Black Hawks, 4 Solar-class tanks, and various vehicles, as well as a command center and a watch tower. All other will likely be on aircraft carriers or at Fort Yaxier International Airport. A Supreme-class airborne aircraft carrier (CVNA-1), similar to a regular aircraft carrier, is being constructed, starting May 10, 2015, at the Naval Base. It has a black glass square pyramid as its docking and boarding area. Several different kinds of fighter jets and helicopters have been constructed for the Navy, the first of them being the ones on F.S. Formosa. Fighter jets consist of all classes of F-35, F-22, and F/A-18, and helicopters include Black Hawk helicopters. All fighter jets have specific wing insignias: the left wing has the flag of the Formosa Navy, and the right wing has the flag of the squadron the jet belongs to.

F-35/C Lightning II

The most advanced fighter jet on the server, this is the main fighter jet of the FAF, all belonging to the Cyan Air Squadron. There are currently 10 known FAF fighters, all located in the Western Hemisphere. 4 additional fighters have been deployed to Kenthurst Fort and are under the command of AlikSong.

F.S. Laputa

F.S. Laputa under construction at Naval Base (Island)

Note: F.S. Laputa is currently under limited operation, as its interior is not fully complete while its exterior is. As such, it will only be able to house a skeleton crew and perform basic navigational and weaponry tasks. and will launch and house a limited number of fighter jets and helicopters. The Supreme-class F.S. Laputa will be the first airborne aircraft carrier (CVNA-1) on the server. Construction began on May 10, 2015 and is expected to finish by mid-2016. The general shape is similar to a regular aircraft carrier, but the hull will instead contain weapons and engines, and the interior will also be used as part troop transport. As it is airborne, it will also be the only carrier able to access anywhere on the entire map, unlike its seaborne counterparts. As such, it may be necessary to build additional airships for heavier defense. Aircraft used on board include F-35 Lightning II, F-35/A-C Lightning II, F-22 Raptor, and Black Hawk helicopters. They are the only fighter jet types currently planned to be used aboard the carrier.

F.S. Aether

The Aether-class airship is a light destroyer capable of traveling up to several hundred kilometers an hour. It contains 2 large cannons, 8 deck manual guns, 1 Long Range Strike Missile, and 5 Short Range Missiles. It is currently stationed at FAF Naval Base and is assigned to protection of the F.S. Laputa. It is usually accompanied by F-35 jets.

Foreign Deployment

Several Formosa-class destroyers of the Formosa Navy are planned to be deployed to various cities to protect them from any threats. A destroyer can be requested for your city, provided it has sufficient space in a body of water connected to any major ocean. Deployment for primary allies will be mostly unquestioned and unhindered, provided an admod is available to w/e it and Camelfantasy is notified. Deployment to secondary allies will require a reason. Ships may be bought; $30 for a Formosa-class destroyer, $15 for a Explorer-class cruiser, and $100 for a Sealane-class amphibious assault ship.

Alliance Statuses

All current primary alliances follow this doctrine: Any attacks on an ally of Formosa is considered an attack on Formosa itself, and the aggressor is therefore subject to, in addition to retaliation by said ally's military, a counterattack by Formosa's Armed Forces.

Enemy: "You seriously think that you can destroy us with just two ships and some aircraft?"
*30 seconds later*
Enemy: "Hey, where did [insert city here] go?

Easter Eggs

On Formosa-class destroyers, a sign near the command center reads, "Please do not make faces at the crew. Thank you.", as the command center has a wraparound clear window.
Some ideas of the airship and its base are from the Legend series.
The enemy always seems to be cows.
Laputa, the name giving to the airship, means "Floating Island", which describes the airship. It is also a swear word in both Spanish and Filipino.
FAF has a joke division that is in charge of playing music, seen at the destruction of old Accerton
