====== Battle Formations ======
[ [[military]] ]

During the course of a battle, fleets take up different formations, depending on their mission objectives. Each formation offers specific benefits and disadvantages, and some special manoeuvres require a certain formation before they can be executed.

Only fleets use formations. Worlds can not do so.

The following formations are known, and all factions can use these freely with their fleets:
  * [[Standard Formation]]
  * [[Barrage Formation]]
  * [[Skirmish Formation]]

You are free to propose your own to fit your world, but note that this usually involves designing and researching [[technologies|technologies]] as well!
