With so many new vessels and so many losses among the Reaver Companies and national armies, the human military forces were in a state of complete disarray. Every unit was a hybrid made of the survivors of other units that had been targeted by the Great Enemy, while a majority of the long established Reaver Companies were no longer intact.
Most of them had some ships left, but with their hierarchy scrambled with the number of ships crippled, the chain of command was constantly arguing with each other and second guessing the decisions of the ship Commanders who had more senior Commanders among the troops sheltering with them.
Nobody did well with losing their ship, and while the organized military had rankings to keep things sorted, there was a lot of grey area with the Reavers when it came to honours, merits, and having lost your ship.
