Royal Manticoran Navy. [RMN.]

The Royal Manticoran Navy's genesis could be traced back to before Manticore's official colonization. The initial fund raising for the colony expedition was so successful that there were surplus funds which were used to create the Manticore Colony Trust. The MCT was used to help protect the colonists' interests as they made their way from the Sol System to Manticore. Part of this fund was used to build four frigates to protect the system from claim jumpers. These frigates, the first units of the Manticoran System Navy, were the first naval force of the Manticore Colony.
