The '''Royal Manticoran Astro Control Service''' (''abbrev'': '''RMACS''') is a component of The Royal Manticoran Navy, and is one of the three [[Civilian#Uniformed_Civilian_Branches|uniformed civilian branches]] of TRMN. Members of this branch hold military-designated ranks and job titles and may wear the various orders of [[RMACS]] uniform. Members of this component tend to focus on the Astro-Control related aspects of the stories.

==Honorverse==
Within the context of the Honorverse canon, Astro Control Services is a uniformed civil service responsible for manning the Junction and Termini Control, for Search and Rescue in the Junction and Termini areas, and for providing Customs enforcement in liaison with [[RMMC]] and Royal Customs personnel.

Commander Honor Harrington’s relationship with [[RADM]] Reynaud of Astro Control and the way she turned around the efficiency of operations in the Basilisk Station area was one key aspect of the beginnings of her career success.

The Manticore Wormhole Junction is the busiest location in human space. In 1905 PD, the ACS was directing a wormhole transit through the Junction once every three minutes. By 1920 PD, following the discovery of the seventh terminus, it was handling one transit every eighty-five seconds. (SI1)

RMACS Survey Command is also responsible for conducting junction and terminus beacon surveys. Until the Royal Manticoran Astrophysics Investigation Agency was established by the High Ridge government, Survey Command also conducted research into the existence of the seventh terminus of the Manticore Wormhole Junction, eventually discovering the Lynx Terminus.

==Real Life Connections==
Members of the RMACS are often interested in real world Aviation, and the RMACS [[Aerospace Wings]] program is designed to foster that interest. Aerospace Wings can be earned either through aviation activities, or by participating in online learning or flight simulation activities. For more information, see [[Aerospace Wings]]. RMACS members also often have Coast Guard or lifesaving backgrounds that play into their interest in this part of the TRMN.
