The '''5th Imperial Fleet''' (also known as the 5IF or just 'The 
 +
Fifth') is one of the newer [[fleet|fleets]] of the [[Imperial Navy]]. 
 +
Created as a smaller fleet during the [[Second Navy Reform]], it has 
 +
gone through a lot, even though it may not be as old as some of the 
 +
other fleets. Among other events, the 5th Imperial Fleet has 
 +
gone through are numerous changes to its command structure. One of these
 +
changes consists of alterations to the fifth’s name. It went from being
 +
dubbed the 5th Imperial Fleet to the Grand 5th Imperial Fleet, and
 +
afterward to the Shadow Fleet. When this name, like its predecessor, began
 +
dissatisfying, a motion was ‘moved for’ and approved by Naval High Command,
 +
returning the fleet to it’s original, generic, name, the 5th Imperial Fleet.

The '''5th Imperial Fleet''' (also known as the 5IF or just 'The Fifth') is one the newer [[fleets]] of the [[Imperial Navy]]. Created as a result from the [[Second Navy Reform]], it has been gone through a lot, although not as old as other [[fleets]]. Many changes in the [[fleet]] occurred since its creation, including the [[Fleet Command]]s and members. It was renamed to the Grand 5th Imperial Fleet, then to the Shadow Fleet and renamed back to 5th Imperial Fleet.

The 5th started its life in Year 8, Day 282 as a the first, of two, new 
 +
[[fleet|fleets]] created as a result of the [[Second Navy Reform]]. Its 
 +
accompanying brother fleet, the 6th Imperial Fleet, was created 
 +
shortly after, and the two always seemed to be assigned to missions 
 +
together, which led to a brotherly relationship between these two 
 +
fleets not seen in any other Imperial Fleet at the time. The 5th’s 
 +
first Commanding Officer was Captain Raum ‘Kaine’ Cambions, a 
 +
dedicated Captain who had a long history of Imperial service, which 
 +
was accompanied by an impressive service record, who quickly bettered 
 +
the fleet. The almost instantaneous progress made the fleet seem as 
 +
though it had been a part of the Empire for much longer than it 
 +
actually was. However, not all credit for this is attributed to 
 +
Captain Kaine - the 5th was lucky to have many experienced personnel 
 +
from the 4th Imperial Fleet and the 5th also happened to benefit from 
 +
other outgoing Imperial officers, like Captain Darvock Tarion.
 +
 +
=== Captain Tarion ===
 +
 +
Darvock Tarion was appointed to the 5th as the Commanding Officer 
 +
after Kain retired for personal reasons. Under his direction the 
 +
5th successfully completed operations in the Corellian and Kuat 
 +
sector. They also completed their first operation, which consisted of 
 +
the transfer/transportation of Imperial forces from the Corellian 
 +
Sector to Kuat sector, to heighten security in Kuat, while not 
 +
overcrowding the Corellian Sector. The mission was quickly and 
 +
efficiently completed, and Captain Darvock successfully proved 
 +
deserving of the new position through his proficient management of 
 +
the mission, which was made easier by his skills with handling 
 +
logistics.
 +
 +
However, their satisfaction was short-lived. Tarion was able to make a 
 +
strong force out of the 5th Imperial Fleet, and though some might be 
 +
happy with the result, the 5th wasn’t extremely satisfied. Due to the 
 +
effectiveness of the last operation, Captain Tarion was given the 
 +
privilege to issue operations to the 5th without having to get 
 +
everything cleared with Naval High Command. Right as one operation was 
 +
nearing its end, a point that needed the utmost attention from the 
 +
fleet, the Naval High Command overruled Tarion’s orders. They were 
 +
forced to abort their current mission - a dissatisfying order, to say 
 +
the least - and they had to quickly return to Coruscant.
 +
 +
This was Operation Clean Sweep, to successfully restore order to 
 +
Coruscant. Economic and social dissatisfaction had led to revolts and 
 +
hostile responses to all ships attempting to land. Fortune favored the 
 +
Imperials though, and the 5th was able to put an end to the revolts. They 
 +
suffered no casualties - only the loss of a few weapons and ships -
 +
along with a few wounded soldiers who bettered after being examined in 
 +
on-board medical outposts.
  
−
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.  
+
Once more the fleet rejoiced, satisfied that they had been able to 
 +
handle another operation - this one a much more pride-filled one than 
 +
the last. Like the last Commanding Officer though, Tarion had to 
 +
resign. He had other obligations that took priority over his duties 
 +
with the Galactic Empire, and symptoms from an unidentifiable disease 
 +
prevented him from returning to active duty. Arguably the most 
 +
respected officer in the fleet to date, Tarion was discharged with 
 +
many good-wishes from his fleet. Minor disorder ensued within the
 +
fleet and some believe that the fleet was never again as prosperous as 
 +
it had been under Tarion’s command.
 +
  
−
=== Captain Tarion ===
+
=== Commander Korr and Edun ===
  
−
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]].
+
[[Lieutenant JG]] [[Execurus Edun]] was in command of the fleet
 +
for some time after [[Darvock Tarion|Tarion]]'s leave, he handled more 
 +
of the fleet’s operations that led to many more events and some 
 +
consequences. But since Acting Commanding Officer [[Lieutenant JG]]
 +
Execurus Edun wasn’t extremely qualified for the job 
 +
[[Commander]] [[Dujaan Korr]] was appointed as the official Navy CO in 
 +
light of a Naval Address. Edun was 
 +
given time to familiarize himself with command positions and duties as 
 +
the Executive Officer of the 5th Imperial Fleet.
 +
 +
It was during Commander Dujaan Korr's times that 
 +
operation ‘Apple Crumble’ was issued. The Operation kept the fleet 
 +
members active, as they scanned the entirety of the [[Kuat Sector]] for hidden systems. However, the results of Operation: ‘Apple 
 +
Crumble’ remain classified.
 +
 +
Soon after the Operation had ended, Korr had to leave the
 +
Fleet because of a long Leave of Action he had requested. It was 
 +
approved by Naval High Command and marked his final day as the 
 +
Commanding Officer of the 5th Imperial Fleet.
 +
 +
Yet again the fleet found itself without a Commanding Officer.
 +
This led to a lack of merit within the fleet and many of its members 
 +
not being rewarded. Like before Lieutenant JG Execurus Edun
 +
was assigned as the fleet's Acting CO, but 
 +
[[Commodore]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]] had just returned to active 
 +
service after a long time in the reserves. The return of such a 
 +
prosperous and talented Naval Officer led to his appointment as 
 +
"[[Admiral]] of the [[Fleet]]", despite beliefs that he’d be the 
 +
Commanding Officer of the 5th. In this positions as the AF he’d 
 +
supervise the 5th Imperial Fleet. With this new appointment and 
 +
addition to the 5th Imperial Fleet’s Fleet Command Lieutenant JG
 +
Execurus Edun was promoted to a full [[Lieutenant]] and 
 +
permanent Commanding Officer.
 +
 +
Following this, [[Lieutenant]] [[Rann Van]] was brought to the 5th from 
 +
the [[4th Imperial Fleet]] to serve as the new [[XO]] of the fleet, 
 +
to aid Lieutenant Edun in commanding the fleet, as 
 +
Edun was still somewhat inexperienced with all the duties as a 
 +
commanding officer of a fleet. Under Edun and Van’s commands, the 
 +
Operation: Scare NIO was initiated. Lieutenant Rann Van assisted with 
 +
the administration and completion of the operation, which 
 +
consisted of sending a large force to the Both system (controlled by 
 +
the NIO) to see if any hidden systems could be found so Imperial 
 +
forces could set up a base in enemy territory. The results of this 
 +
mission are also classified. Shortly after the completion of the 
 +
mission, Lieutenant Rann Van was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. It 
 +
was one of the first times in Imperial History that a Fleet Executive 
 +
Officer outranked the same fleet’s commanding officer.
  
−
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.
+
=== Commodore Assam ===
 +
 +
[[Lieutenant]] [[Execurus Edun|Edun]] was offered a spot as the new 
 +
[[Navy Quartermaster]] position, and thus left the fleet. Rumors 
 +
have it that during this time the fleet was despaired due to the event 
 +
of one of their other Veteran Fleet Command members had left. 
 +
According to some people, though, the fleet was eventually able to 
 +
achieve its former glory. One thing that aided the fleet in getting 
 +
back on track was pride from having their former Commanding Officer, 
 +
Edun, be awarded the 5th Imperial Fleet Cross, which is the most 
 +
honorable medal anybody can get from a fleet.
 +
 +
Following these events, [[Commodore]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]] took 
 +
command of the fleet with [[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 Assam talked to [[Captain (Navy)|  
 +
Captain]] Vulcan in order to bring two of the best pilots in the navy 
 +
in to the fleet; [[Flight Officer]] [[Tec Vaan]] and [[Command 
 +
Flight Officer]] [[Marcus Veers]]. Due to attachment to his fleet, 
 +
[[Command Flight Officer]] [[Marcus Veers|Veers]] did not move to the 
 +
5th while Flight Officer Tec Vaan and new recruits of the Academy 
 +
were transferred directly into the fleet upon graduation, causing 
 +
it to grow larger.
 +
 +
Commodore Assam, after serving as the 5th's
 +
CO, was promoted to [[Rear Admiral]] for his actions as Director 
 +
of the [[NIA]] (Naval Intelligence Agency), as [[Navy Chief of Staff]], and as the Fleet Commanding Officer of the 5th. Then, 
 +
following [[Fleet Admiral]] Slicer's promotion to the [[Ministry of Defence]] which removed him from the [[Imperial Navy|Navy]], Rear 
 +
Admiral Assam took the command of the entire 
 +
[[Imperial Navy]], and left the 5th with no Commanding Officer
 +
yet again.
  
−
=== Commander Korr and Edun ===
+
=== Commander Van ===
  
−
[[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]].
+
[[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Rann Van]] was promoted to [[Commander]]
 +
shortly after [[Rear Admiral]] [[Calor Assam|Assam]]'s departure, and 
 +
was assigned as the new [[FCO]] of the 5th. He was serving as many of 
 +
the previous Commanding Officer’s of the 5th had, but seemed to have a
 +
more efficient method of communication with the rest of Fleet Command. 
 +
[[Tec Vaan]], previously a [[Flight Officer]] until his promotion to 
 +
[[Command Flight Officer]], had been appointed as the Acting Executive 
 +
Officer of the Fleet. [[Jathrin Thoyan]], one of the last founding 
 +
members of the [[Fleet]], was assigned as Acting [[FCoS]] until 
 +
Commander Van stepped down in light of personal, 
 +
recent developments. Once more the fleet was lacking a head, but this 
 +
time it had been assigned a mission: to aide in the construction of 
 +
one of the Empire's jewels, [[Scylla]].
 +
  
−
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.
+
=== Rear Admiral Assam ===
 +
 +
Rear Admiral Assam's second term wasn't very long. The Admiral was 
 +
extremely busy with his duties as Navy Commanding Officer and the 
 +
running of the School of Officer and Command studies, so most fleet 
 +
tasks were handed down to LTjg Vaan, the XO. LTjg Vaan was, and still 
 +
is, the cadet who graduated with the highest score in SOCS to date.
  
−
[[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]]

=== Commodore Assam ===
+
=== Vice Admiral OVERMIND ===
 +
 +
Vice Admiral OVERMIND took over command of the 5th Imperial Fleet on Y9 D271.
 +
After [[Rear Admiral]] [[Assam]] handed the reigns of the 5th Imperial Fleet, there was a large jump in the fleet's activity levels.
 +
A  result of this was the quicker completion of Scylla, the center for 
 +
the Imperial Union. When they had finished, all acting members of the 
 +
5th Imperial Fleet received an award for their service on Scylla.

[[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 Mayas Lennorian===
  
−
[[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.
+
Commodore Lennorian assumed command of the Fifth Imperial Fleet on the [TBA] taking over from Admiral OVERMIND. The future is unclear as to what benefits the new Commanding Officer will bring, but one thing is certain; it will prosper.

[[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]].

The 5th Imperial Fleet (also known as the 5IF or just 'The Fifth') is one of the newer fleets of the Imperial Navy. Created as a smaller fleet during the Second Navy Reform, it has gone through a lot, even though it may not be as old as some of the other fleets. Among other events, the 5th Imperial Fleet has gone through are numerous changes to its command structure. One of these changes consists of alterations to the fifth’s name. It went from being dubbed the 5th Imperial Fleet to the Grand 5th Imperial Fleet, and afterward to the Shadow Fleet. When this name, like its predecessor, began dissatisfying, a motion was ‘moved for’ and approved by Naval High Command, returning the fleet to it’s original, generic, name, the 5th Imperial Fleet.

History

Past Commanding Officers

Captain Kaine

The 5th started its life in Year 8, Day 282 as a the first, of two, new fleets created as a result of the Second Navy Reform. Its accompanying brother fleet, the 6th Imperial Fleet, was created shortly after, and the two always seemed to be assigned to missions together, which led to a brotherly relationship between these two fleets not seen in any other Imperial Fleet at the time. The 5th’s first Commanding Officer was Captain Raum ‘Kaine’ Cambions, a dedicated Captain who had a long history of Imperial service, which was accompanied by an impressive service record, who quickly bettered the fleet. The almost instantaneous progress made the fleet seem as though it had been a part of the Empire for much longer than it actually was. However, not all credit for this is attributed to Captain Kaine - the 5th was lucky to have many experienced personnel from the 4th Imperial Fleet and the 5th also happened to benefit from other outgoing Imperial officers, like Captain Darvock Tarion.

Captain Tarion

Darvock Tarion was appointed to the 5th as the Commanding Officer after Kain retired for personal reasons. Under his direction the 5th successfully completed operations in the Corellian and Kuat sector. They also completed their first operation, which consisted of the transfer/transportation of Imperial forces from the Corellian Sector to Kuat sector, to heighten security in Kuat, while not overcrowding the Corellian Sector. The mission was quickly and efficiently completed, and Captain Darvock successfully proved deserving of the new position through his proficient management of the mission, which was made easier by his skills with handling logistics.

However, their satisfaction was short-lived. Tarion was able to make a strong force out of the 5th Imperial Fleet, and though some might be happy with the result, the 5th wasn’t extremely satisfied. Due to the effectiveness of the last operation, Captain Tarion was given the privilege to issue operations to the 5th without having to get everything cleared with Naval High Command. Right as one operation was nearing its end, a point that needed the utmost attention from the fleet, the Naval High Command overruled Tarion’s orders. They were forced to abort their current mission - a dissatisfying order, to say the least - and they had to quickly return to Coruscant.

This was Operation Clean Sweep, to successfully restore order to Coruscant. Economic and social dissatisfaction had led to revolts and hostile responses to all ships attempting to land. Fortune favored the Imperials though, and the 5th was able to put an end to the revolts. They suffered no casualties - only the loss of a few weapons and ships - along with a few wounded soldiers who bettered after being examined in on-board medical outposts.

Once more the fleet rejoiced, satisfied that they had been able to handle another operation - this one a much more pride-filled one than the last. Like the last Commanding Officer though, Tarion had to resign. He had other obligations that took priority over his duties with the Galactic Empire, and symptoms from an unidentifiable disease prevented him from returning to active duty. Arguably the most respected officer in the fleet to date, Tarion was discharged with many good-wishes from his fleet. Minor disorder ensued within the fleet and some believe that the fleet was never again as prosperous as it had been under Tarion’s command.


Commander Korr and Edun

Lieutenant JG Execurus Edun was in command of the fleet for some time after Tarion's leave, he handled more of the fleet’s operations that led to many more events and some consequences. But since Acting Commanding Officer Lieutenant JG Execurus Edun wasn’t extremely qualified for the job Commander Dujaan Korr was appointed as the official Navy CO in light of a Naval Address. Edun was given time to familiarize himself with command positions and duties as the Executive Officer of the 5th Imperial Fleet.

It was during Commander Dujaan Korr's times that operation ‘Apple Crumble’ was issued. The Operation kept the fleet members active, as they scanned the entirety of the Kuat Sector for hidden systems. However, the results of Operation: ‘Apple Crumble’ remain classified.

Soon after the Operation had ended, Korr had to leave the Fleet because of a long Leave of Action he had requested. It was approved by Naval High Command and marked his final day as the Commanding Officer of the 5th Imperial Fleet.

Yet again the fleet found itself without a Commanding Officer. This led to a lack of merit within the fleet and many of its members not being rewarded. Like before Lieutenant JG Execurus Edun was assigned as the fleet's Acting CO, but Commodore Assam had just returned to active service after a long time in the reserves. The return of such a prosperous and talented Naval Officer led to his appointment as "Admiral of the Fleet", despite beliefs that he’d be the Commanding Officer of the 5th. In this positions as the AF he’d supervise the 5th Imperial Fleet. With this new appointment and addition to the 5th Imperial Fleet’s Fleet Command Lieutenant JG Execurus Edun was promoted to a full Lieutenant and permanent Commanding Officer.

Following this, Lieutenant Rann Van was brought to the 5th from the 4th Imperial Fleet to serve as the new XO of the fleet, to aid Lieutenant Edun in commanding the fleet, as Edun was still somewhat inexperienced with all the duties as a commanding officer of a fleet. Under Edun and Van’s commands, the Operation: Scare NIO was initiated. Lieutenant Rann Van assisted with the administration and completion of the operation, which consisted of sending a large force to the Both system (controlled by the NIO) to see if any hidden systems could be found so Imperial forces could set up a base in enemy territory. The results of this mission are also classified. Shortly after the completion of the mission, Lieutenant Rann Van was promoted to Lieutenant Commander. It was one of the first times in Imperial History that a Fleet Executive Officer outranked the same fleet’s commanding officer.

Commodore Assam

Lieutenant Edun was offered a spot as the new Navy Quartermaster position, and thus left the fleet. Rumors have it that during this time the fleet was despaired due to the event of one of their other Veteran Fleet Command members had left. According to some people, though, the fleet was eventually able to achieve its former glory. One thing that aided the fleet in getting back on track was pride from having their former Commanding Officer, Edun, be awarded the 5th Imperial Fleet Cross, which is the most honorable medal anybody can get from a fleet.

Following these events, Commodore Assam took command of the fleet with Lieutenant Commander Van as his XO. Following the departure of many founding members of the 5th, including Nannoth Taeradun and Execurus Edun, Commodore Assam talked to Captain Vulcan in order to bring two of the best pilots in the navy in to the fleet; Flight Officer Tec Vaan and [[Command Flight Officer]] Marcus Veers. Due to attachment to his fleet, Command Flight Officer Veers did not move to the 5th while Flight Officer Tec Vaan and new recruits of the Academy were transferred directly into the fleet upon graduation, causing it to grow larger.

Commodore Assam, after serving as the 5th's CO, was promoted to Rear Admiral for his actions as Director of the NIA (Naval Intelligence Agency), as Navy Chief of Staff, and as the Fleet Commanding Officer of the 5th. Then, following Fleet Admiral Slicer's promotion to the Ministry of Defence which removed him from the Navy, Rear Admiral Assam took the command of the entire Imperial Navy, and left the 5th with no Commanding Officer yet again.

Commander Van

Lieutenant Commander Rann Van was promoted to Commander shortly after Rear Admiral Assam's departure, and was assigned as the new FCO of the 5th. He was serving as many of the previous Commanding Officer’s of the 5th had, but seemed to have a more efficient method of communication with the rest of Fleet Command. Tec Vaan, previously a Flight Officer until his promotion to Command Flight Officer, had been appointed as the Acting Executive Officer of the Fleet. Jathrin Thoyan, one of the last founding members of the Fleet, was assigned as Acting FCoS until Commander Van stepped down in light of personal, recent developments. Once more the fleet was lacking a head, but this time it had been assigned a mission: to aide in the construction of one of the Empire's jewels, Scylla.


Rear Admiral Assam

Rear Admiral Assam's second term wasn't very long. The Admiral was extremely busy with his duties as Navy Commanding Officer and the running of the School of Officer and Command studies, so most fleet tasks were handed down to LTjg Vaan, the XO. LTjg Vaan was, and still is, the cadet who graduated with the highest score in SOCS to date.


Vice Admiral OVERMIND

Vice Admiral OVERMIND took over command of the 5th Imperial Fleet on Y9 D271. After Rear Admiral Assam handed the reigns of the 5th Imperial Fleet, there was a large jump in the fleet's activity levels. A result of this was the quicker completion of Scylla, the center for the Imperial Union. When they had finished, all acting members of the 5th Imperial Fleet received an award for their service on Scylla.

Address from Vice Admiral C. Assam
Effectively immediately, Rear Admiral OVERMIND is
appointed as Commanding Officer of the 5th Imperial Fleet.

The 5IF’s Fleet Command looks like this now:

  • Commanding Officer: Rear Admiral OVERMIND
  • (acting) Executive Officer: Command Flight Officer Tec Vaan
  • Chief of Staff: Chief Master Sergeant Ryan Roche

Changes: A number of changes were initiated during VADM OVERMIND's command, including:

  • The creation of Combat Lessons
  • The introduction of a new RP, Chasing a Pilot
  • New banners for the fleet
  • Personal Logs for each member of the fleet
  • Ship Tactical Evaluations
  • Call-signs for all members of the fleet
  • The Creation of the Fleet's own Newspaper, the Pilot Chronicles

Current Commanding Officer

Commodore Mayas Lennorian

Commodore Lennorian assumed command of the Fifth Imperial Fleet on the [TBA] taking over from Admiral OVERMIND. The future is unclear as to what benefits the new Commanding Officer will bring, but one thing is certain; it will prosper.
