| − | The 5th started its life in Year 8 Day 282 as a new [[fleet]] created by the [[Second Navy Reform]]. It was the 1st [[fleet]] out the 2 that were created. The second one was the [[6th Imperial Fleet]]. The [[Fleet]] was led by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Raum Cambions|Raum "Kaine" Cambions]] as the [[Fleet Commanding Officer]] and [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Darvock Tarion]] as the [[Fleet Executive Officer]]. All of its members were previously a part of the [[4th Imperial Fleet]] and thus the fleet started as one of the best, as all its members were familiar with [[SWC]], unlike many [[Fleets]] which had their members fresh new out of the [[Imperial Academy|Academy]]. The [[Fleet Chief of Staff]] was [[Ensign]] [[Execurus Edun]] at that time. The [[Fleet]] begen its operations at first in the [[Corellian Sector]] and the [[Kuat Sector]], and one of its first missions were to move key ships of the [[fleet]] from the [[Corellian Sector]] to the [[Kuat sector]]. During that time [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Darvock Tarion]] was the overseer of the operation and made an incredible job handling the logistics.

| |
| − | A short time afterwards [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Raum Cambions]] resigned his position due to RL matters and [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Darvock Tarion]] took his place as the [[CO]] of the [[Fleet]]. The [[XO]] was [[Ensign]] [[Execurus Edun]] while the [[FCoS]] was [[Master Flight Sergeant]] [[Nannoth Taeradun]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | More operations were issued by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Darvock Tarion]] at that time, most of them are classified but one Operation was noted, the Operation Clean Sweep. The mission was to return to the [[Coruscant|Capital of the Empire]], [[Coruscant]] in order to restore the order that was raging in the planet. The [[Fleet]] completed the operation successfully with [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Darvock Tarion|Tarion]] and [[Lieutenant JG]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] as the Operation's coordinators. But after a while, due to RL Illness, the [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] had to resign his post as the [[Commanding Officer]] of the [[Fleet]], and in his place rose [[Lieutenant JG]] [[Execurus Edun]] as the Fleet Acting CO. It is said that the 5th had its best time during [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Darvock Tarion|Tarion]]'s command, and he will be forever missed by the founding members of the [[Fleet]]. [[Master Flight Sergeant]] [[Nannoth Taeradun]] was Acting [[Fleet]] [[XO]] at that time. The position of the [[FCoS]] was out of commission.

| − | [[Lieutenant JG]] [[Execurus Edun]] was in command of the [[Fleet]] for some time after [[Darvock Tarion|Tarion]]'s leave, he handled the [[fleet]] in more operations that had consequences on many things. But since as Acting CO [[Lieutenant JG]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] couldn't do much, after a [[Navy]] Address the [[fleet]] was assigned with [[Commander]] [[Dujaan Korr]] as its official [[CO]], and [[Lieutenant JG]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] as its [[XO]]. It is during [[Commander]] [[Dujaan Korr|Korr]]'s times that operation Apple Crumble was issued. The Operation kept the [[Fleet]] members active, as they scanned completely the whole [[Kuat Sector]] for hidden systems. Weather the [[fleet]] had found an hidden system or not, is classified. Soon after that Operation that [[Commander]] [[Dujaan Korr|Korr]] had to leave the [[Fleet]] because of a long LoA he requested from [[NHC]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Yet again the [[Fleet]] found itself without a [[Commanding Officer]], which resulted with the fact there were almost no promotions of members, or awarding of medals. [[Lieutenant JG]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] was again assigned as the [[Fleet]]'s Acting [[CO]], but [[Commodore]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]], whose just returned to active service after a long time in the reserves, was appointed "[[Admiral]] of the [[Fleet]]" means he will be supervising all the operations of the [[Fleet]] and will act as an Overseer. [[Lieutenant JG]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] was promoted to a full [[Lieutenant]] shortly afterwards.

| − | [[Lieutenant]] [[Rann Van]] was brought to the Fleet from the [[4th Imperial Fleet]] to serve as the new [[XO]] of the [[Fleet]] to aid [[Lieutenant]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] with what experience he had. Yet still he had his position as [[Fleet]] [[CO]] under the supervision of [[Commodore]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]]. The Operation Scare NIO was issued by [[Lieutenant]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] and [[Lieutenant]] [[Rann Van|Van]]. The mission was to scan the entire [[Both system]], which is controlled by [[NIO]] to check if there are any hidden systems in that Sector. The results are classified. A short time after the Operation, and by recommendation from [[Lieutenant]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]], [[Lieutenant]] [[Rann Van]] was promoted to [[Lieutenant Commander]]

| |
| − | [[Lieutenant]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] was offered a spot as the new [[Navy Quartermaster]] position, and thus left the [[fleet]]. It is said during his times the [[Fleet]] rose from the despair it was laying on, and it is because of him, that the Fleet managed to return to its former glory. For his services in the 5th Imperial Fleet, [[Lieutenant]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] was awarded the 5th Imperial Fleet Cross by [[Commodore]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]]. The highest medal of honour a person can get, from a [[Fleet]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Following the events, [[Commodore]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]] took command of the [[Fleet]], and [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Rann Van|Van]] as his [[XO]]. Following the departure of many founding members of the 5th, including [[Nannoth Taeradun]] and [[Execurus Edun]], [[Commodore]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]] talked to [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] Vulcan in order to bring their best two pilots to the [[Fleet]]; [[Flight Officer]] [[Tec Vaan]] and [[Command Flight Officer]] [[Marcus Veers]]. Due to a feeling of homesickness, [[Command Flight Officer]] [[Marcus Veers|Veers]] did not move to the 5th and returned back to the [[1st Imperial Fleet]] while new [[Recruit]]s of the Academy were transferred directly into the [[Fleet]] upon graduation, causing the [[Fleet]] to grow larger.

| − | [[Commodore]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]], after serving as the 5th's [[CO]], was promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] for his actions as Director of the [[NIA]] and as [[Navy Chief of Staff]] while working at the same time as [[FCO]] of the 5th. And following [[Fleet Admiral]] Slicer's promotion to the [[Ministry of Defense]] and out of the [[Imperial Navy|Navy]], [[Rear Admiral]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]] took the command of the whole [[Imperial Navy]], and left the 5th with no [[Commanding Officer]], yet again.

[[Tec Vaan]], previously a [[Flight Officer]] was promoted to [[Command Flight Officer]] a while back and has then been placed as the Acting [[XO]] of the [[Fleet]]. [[Command Flight Officer]] [[Jathrin Thoyan]], one of the last founding members of the [[Fleet]], was assigned as Acting [[FCoS]] until [[Commander]] [[Rann Van|Van]] hears word of the finished [[School of Officer and Command Studies]]. Following the new Command, the 5th have been assigned a new mission by [[Deputy Minister]] Kiger Wulf, to aide in the construction of one of the [[Empire]]'s jewels, [[Scylla]].
