Now, they MIGHT decide that ships in their possession and service would be at the beck and call of their Stellar Majesties, but I'm fairly sure I remember their oaths specifying lands and people, not ships. Their excellencies could just as fairly assign them to maintaining control of the port in which they anchor and the waters that approach it, clearly a necessary task if Trimaran ships could sneak so close. This would indirectly serve the needs of their majesties as well, since they are charged with the wellbeing of ALL Ansteorrans, and do so without placing Northkeep ships at the command of some distant admiral who could just as easily be fretting about Seawinds.
