The earliest form of organized navy in Andora was the ships of the Pinoan merchants. As the Kingdom of Pinoa expanded their trade across the North Concordian Ocean in the 8th century, the ships of various merchants would be supplied with large deck-mounted ballistae and squadrons of marines to prevent piracy. The Pinoan trade became very profitable, and the nation grew to be a contender in nautical affairs. Certain alliances and guilds would form to protect the mercantile interests. These merchant-navies operated with the blessing, and often funding and direction, of the king. Most ships belonging to the Pinoan merchant-navies were simply converted merchant vessels, but a few vessels sponsored by nobles and the crown would be purpose-built galleasses.
When Avantana began to conquer the coastal states in the 13th century, it became apparent that it needed to find a way to counter the strong naval capabilities of Pinoa. An eventual solution was reached in the form of a strong core of biremes, triremes, and galleasses which would be proceeded by a multitude of cheaply constructed fire ships. This tactic was effective against the Pinoan navies, which were slow to maneuver. The Battle of
These ideals of local defense and compartmentalization were carried over to the much more organized navy of the Kingdom of Corric, founded in 1584 with the absorption of the Kingdom of Réal. While Réal never had access to the ocean, it had an abundance of resources that allowed the Crown to expand and consolidate the navy. The forests and mines of Réoran land provided matierals to construct more capable warships. The astronomers of the Réoran mountains had much better star charts than Arranzic scholars which allowed for more accurate navigation. The increased population also let the Armada recruit more, especially from Réoran populaces that were curious about the sea.
