History
At Io, General Hague in command of the Alexander along with friendly ships engaged those of President Clarke's where his compatriot vessels allowed him to escape despite taking damage during the skirmish. This came as a result of martial law being declared in the Earth Alliance leading to riots and uprisings across human space. Hague attempted to call upon others in the military and the disbanded Earth Senate to rise up against Clarke. However, four of the five cruisers that defected were destroyed whilst Hague himself was on the run. (Episode: Point of No Return) The crew of the Alexander managed to intercept a message from Earthforce Command that saw bombing runs made on Mars after it refused to obey President Clarke's order of martial law. This campaign against Mars was stated to continue until the Mars Provisional Government followed Earth's orders whilst rebel forces arriving at Babylon 5 saw loyalist ships being deployed to take control of the station. (Episode: Severed Dreams)
Overview
Under the authority of Earthforce Command, it was possible to order a junior commander to tae control of a ship if its captain was deemed to be conducting a court martial offense. (Episode: No Surrender, No Retreat) All high ranking Earthforce com systems carry an identifier code on a sub-channel that was kept secret so that false orders could not be given and thus could not be faked. (Episode: Voices of Authority) Members had their genetic code being mapped and recorded for identification purposes. (Episode: A Late Delivery from Avalon)
Review boards were put together in order to examine the actions of personnel and determine their guilt. (Episode: A Late Delivery from Avalon)
One of the awards given for decorated officers was the Silver Star of Valor. (Episode: Voices of Authority)
At some point, Earthforce armed its personnel with PPG's in order to have a weapon that burnt flesh but would not puncture the hull like a slug thrower would do. (Episode: Grey 17 is Missing)
