Red Pegasus Fleet
Affiliation Clan Hell's Horses
Parent Command Clan Hell's Horses touman

The Clan Hell's Horses philosophy of warrior before the machine and a strong combined-arms approach permeates all facets of the touman. As the WarShip and space vessels of the clan have never been numerous, nor naval combat a priority, the Naval Reserve instead is used largely as transport and support for the various Galaxies.[1]

The Hell's Horse's practice of a secondary Trial of Position gives failed Elemental warriors the chance to continue service to the Clan as space marines.[2]

The Red Pegasus Fleet is rarely deployed in force, and is usually deployed throughout the Horses' holdings. The Reserve Fleet is nominally under Keshik command and is equipped with a full complement of marine and aerospace support.[1] The Hell's Horses' Naval Force as of 3059 included two WarShip Stars, two JumpShip Stars, and an Assault DropShip Star.
