==History==
==History==
The Grayson Space Navy was founded as part of the initial development of [[TRMN]], due to the expectation that correspondence chapters would be needed, and would require different leadership to help them succeed. Kirylyn Dreamer became first [[High Admiral]] and helped setup the first chapters based from Texas and Florida, and worked with Martyn Griffths to start the Great Britain chapter. As more chapters were created, the needs of the GSN expanded. Their love of Monty Python quotes spread over into every post on the main Facebook group, so they had to relocate / flee / ordered to leave and developed their own identity.

Unfortunately, Kiry developed a chronic health condition and had to step down. She was awarded the first [[steadholder]] title in thanks for her four years of service. Nicholas Hurst took over as High Admiral in 2012 and worked to find ways to increase participation within the correspondence chapters. He developed a computer processed baseball league, where he had ships playing against each other, and encouraged the use of online games as qualifiers for [[marksmanship]] awards. Unfortunately, real life intervened for him as well, and he stepped down from the head spot, although he maintained the baseball league. Eventually, Hurst built the first Grayson meeting chapters in America.
==Awards==


Since the beginning of 2014, Tom Saidak has been the High Admiral. After three years of service, he was also awarded the title of [[steadholder]]. He continues to expand the fleet and tend to the needs of the GSN.
The GSN awards decorations and medals based on the [[canon]] Grayson awards.
