The Groups of the 3rd Fleet

3th Group

Woe befell the beast that infringed on the peace of the denizens of Greater Tapani. It intended to devour that one morsel that it believed was unguarded by the Loyal. One foot in quicksand, it ignored the TIE Starfighters and quested toward its objective. Two feet in quicksand, it found a worthy adversary, a Star Destroyer! So it came on, to end this quickly... Three feet in quicksand, it found itself attacked by a Carrack Cruiser, making this unexpectedly complicated. Four feet in quicksand and doomed to perish, it found itself beset by yet another squadron of TIE Starfighters. Teamwork will prevail...

Join the Imperial Knights, the most fiercely coherent group of officers you will find in the Imperial Navy, and examine your surroundings closely. Abregado System space looks crowded to you, does it not? It certainly should! The shipyards here require vast resources if they are to realise their high capacity. Behold how the tractor beams even now gather the debris of ancient battles together so it can be utilised again for a masterful purpose. Greater Tapani could ask for no finer naval capital. From here was directed Operation Sundered Anarchy, the pacification of Loedorvia System in the Weemell Sector. Many veterans of Sundered Anarchy serve here still, but they do not rest on their laurels. Instead, the 3rd Group aggressively looks to the future in always developing their personnel, their fitness, and their expertise. Everyone is taught to watch each others' back, and this policy has helped to keep casualties lower than many other organisations, whether Navy or Army, and certainly lower than the enemies of the Empire who have the misfortune to come across our path. We shall relentlessly confront them in combat and bear down heavy fire-power to destroy them!

Our officers are known for their grasp of the lessons of history, their professional work ethic, and their reputation for tenacity. Advancement is always on offer for one who serves meritoriously in our ranks -- whether greater wealth, greater inherent personal capability, or greater official importance. The 3rd Group could be a pathway to command of the entire Imperial Navy or even the throne of the Galactic Empire. It has happened before!

Frater Totus "Brothers All" -- By this motto, we welcome our newest members, no less than our oldest, and help them to realise their destiny as potent guardians of the New Order.

8th Group

The Eighth Group of the Third Imperial Fleet. A deadly combination of extreme firepower, the likes of which few in the Galaxy could ever hope to challenge, with the highly skilled and unpredictable pilots the Third Fleet is known for. A combination considered by many more cautious officers to be a potentially volatile mixture. Yet in the hands of seasoned commanders this potent mix results in a group capable of feats others would deem impossible. A group relentless on the offence, insurmountable in defence, respected by both friend and by foe yet whose tactics often remain a mystery to both. Though able to perform standard Imperial manoeuvres to the letter, their true capabilities are revealed in how they use their ships in a manner few would imagine possible, and even fewer can imagine how to defend against.

Responsible for preventing disruption of the Corellian sectors significant and vital industrial capacity the Eighth group is used to standing firm against the enemy. The key element in the wide array of defences preventing any harm falling to the Corellian people, their numerous shipyards or their vast network of factories. Allowing them to fuel the Imperial economy and expand the resources of the Imperial military unhindered by the criminal or rebel elements to which they are a prime target. The Eighth Group is constantly aware of the consequences to the Empire as a whole if the supply of ships and material is interrupted, or worse, co-opted by the Empires enemies. The Eighth Group is constantly at work to prevent any such occurrence.

Tasked with keeping a keen and watchful eye on the mysterious and poorly understood Centrepoint station, constantly aware of the threat its unknown power could pose if ever awoken. Prepared to take whatever action is necessary to ensure it continues to bring wealth into the sector as the hub of galactic trade it has grown to be, and only as that hub. Patrolling Eighth Group Star Destroyers, TIE fighter and TIE Bomber squadrons act as a stoic reminder to the stations occupants that the Empire extends a sheltering hand to legitimate trade. An iron fist should anyone reach too far and threaten the stability of Imperial territory.

When entrusted with the protection of a Sector so sure to demand everything even they can give being capable of achieving the impossible is the only option. For the Eighth Group it is more than simply their duty to bring a time of peace and prosperity to a sector that has seen upheaval and war for too much of its history. It has become their very nature to provide such a symbol of hope and strength that even the most fiercely independent of Corellian factions can rest easy knowing their fate is well cared for in Imperial hands. To be a symbol that every Corellian can have pride in as an example of what they can achieve in co-operation with the Empire.

History

The Third Imperial Fleet was formed after the Navy Restructuring on Day 221 of Year 12 under the command of Commodore Arya Downing by the merge of the original 4th and 8th Imperial fleets, which were re-organised into the 4th Recon Group commanded by Commander Galdarzz Aalon as GCO and Lieutenant Commander Jerec Darklighter as GXO, and the 8th Assault Group commanded by Captain Khaleon Hope as GCO and Lieutenant Commander Jevan Katherion as GXO.
