The Stonewall Federation Space Corps, or SFSC, commonly referred to as Stonewall Space Corps, was the space naval arm of the Stonewall Federation Armed Forces. Althougth officially created in 12 NE by the Military Revitalization Act of 12 NE, the SFSC is considered to have been founded in 4 NE when the Stonewall Defense Fleet was established. The SFSC is considered to be the same body as e SFD, except simply a name change.
History
The Stonewall Federation Space Corps was initially created by Grand Admiral Robert Stanforth when he abandoned the Confederate States of America and his Supreme Commander position in its military. Initially, the group was known as "Stanforth's Renegades", as the ships involved in the group had abandoned the C.S.A. Later, as the Stonewall Republic was formed, the group was renamed to the Stonewall Defense Fleet. This name stuck and was used until the branch was reorganized under the Stonewall Federation.
Background
The SFSC was divided into two sections: the SFSC Offensive Section and the SFSC Defensive Section. The Offensive Section would be responsible for launching attacks against enemies in a state of war and the Defensive Section was responsible for protecting the federation's borders, members, and territories. Often times a task force would be placed above a member planet in order to protect it. It should be noted that often the Defensive Section drew ships from the Offensive Section when needed. An admiral would be placed in charge of each section. Admiral Harry Matel was the ranking admiral of the Offensive Section and Admiral Herbert Parker was the ranking admiral of the Defensive Section.
Significant Commanders
Grand Admiral Robert Stanforth
Stanforth was a brilliant tactitian and the founder and first leader of the Stonewall Republic's Stonewall Defense Fleet. He is credited with founding the group, and creating the Stonewall Republic.
Opinion turned against Stanforth once it was shown that he had played a role in the Second Confederate War beginning and that he had been working with some Sith to spur the war on for his own personal purposes.
Supreme Commander William Bedford Forrest
William Bedford Forrest was once a student of Stanforth who adoped many of his tactics on the battlefield. He served as an admiral under Stanforth in the First and Second Confederaete Wars. Later, he became Commander in Chief during the Second Confederate War after Stanforth's supposed death. He served as the Supreme Commander of the Stonewall Federation Space Corps after the formation of the Stonewall Federation. He served as the Supreme Commander through the Davis Rebellion, UCP Crisis, and the Privarz Rebellion.
Hardware
Star Destroyers and Star Dreadnoughts
Within the Stonewall Federation Space Corps, space worthy ships that are currently commissioned are designated with a "SFS" before their name. This signifies "Stonewall Federation Ship".

The Confederate-class Star Dreadnought is the largest ship in the Stonewall Federation Space Corps. At 35 kilometers, the Confederate-class is heavily armed and is run by approximately 10,000 crew due to automation.
There are approximately four of these in the fleet, with more being produced.

Federation-class Star Destroyer
The Federation-class was slightly shorter than its counter part, the Imperial III, at 1.5 kilometers. The Federation-class had a smoother, friendlier look to it and was typically reserved for diplomatic missions and for escorts of important individuals.
There were fewer of these than the Imperial III due to the above listed reasons. Crew size was 6,700 persons.

Rebel-class Star Destroyer
The Rebel-class Star Destroyer was initially developed to replace the somewhat older Venator II-class. However, the end result was a "pocket star destroyer" that was heavily armed for its size and extremely fast.
These were often used as scouts and as monitoring ships on the edge of the Federation's space territory. These were 1.04 kilometers in length.

These have been out of production for several years, however they are still very popular and numerous in the fleet. There has been talk of issuing an upgraded Venator III to replace this one.

Starfighters
E-Wing Starfighter
Used as the primary starfighter for the Corps, the E-Wing Starfighter was developed sometime in 4 NE from multiple designs the Confederaet States Space Corps had used, including the Richmond-class and Confederate-class Starfighters. The E-wing sports three laser canons; one on each wing and the top of the cockpit. In addition, it sports two torpedo weapons that can be fitted for proton missiles or concussion missiles.
The E-Wing combines speed and armor/shielding in order to outfly an X-Wing and manuever as well as an Eta-2.
Avenger Bomber
Developed during the Second Confederate War, the Avenger Bomber did not come into production until 12 NE during the Modernization Project. Featuring a cockpit that could double as an escape pod, the Avenger was capable of dropping multitudes of proton bombs or other bombs on capital ships and ground targets. It featured two blaster canons and two drop bays.
Eta-2C Interceptor
The Eta-2C Interceptor was developed during the First Confederate War, though prototypes were in use at the beginning of the war by Jedi Master Aden Fader. The Eta-2C was a high speed interceptor armed with two laser turrets and homing missiles. These were used primarily as quick response vehicles on planet or in space due to threats to the plaent or capital ships.
