"The 5th fleet are renowned by their allies, feared by their enemies, respected by all."

— CMDR Fenris Soontir

The Fifth Imperial Fleet are the sole naval defenders of the Deep Core Sector’s space. Commanded by Vice Admiral Mayas Lennorian and manned by the Empire's finest, the 5th Fleet is known for its efficiency, discipline and dedication to Imperial values.

The 5th Imperial Fleet is a fully operational Naval Unit with the most advanced up to date weapon systems and vessels in the Galaxy. Currently the 11th Group is the sole operational arm of the 5th Imperial Fleet.

The 11th Group was formed with a “Heavy Assault Mandate” but has later been re-assigned as a reconnaissance unit. However, being the only group so far assigned to the 5th makes them responsible for a variety of tasks such as:

• Conducting large naval operations to further the Empires goals;

• Defense of 5th Fleet Headquarters located within the Deep Core Sector;

• Sector Patrols to provide security and protection to the Deep Core Sector’s planetary bodies, their citizens and it’s infrastructure and all vessels and stations within the sector.

Current Affairs

The 11th group is commanded by the Group Commanding Officer (GCO)Fenris Soontir. With strength and determination, he leads the group. The GCO has years of experience and a high activity level, injecting good spirit and morale into the troops.

The GCO reports directly to the 5th Imperial Fleet Commanding Officer (FCO), Vice Admiral Mayas Lennorian. Serving as Fleet Training Officer is Commander Wilhelm Draagvarg. His duty is to train the new recruits arriving to the 5th Fleet and improve the officers performance through extensive training missions and tactical lessons, keeping the 5th fleet and its officer always alert and ready to be deployed into combat hot zones on short warnings.

The Groups of the 5th Fleet

11th Group

Sharing an origin with its parent, the Imperial Navy 5th Fleet, the 11th Group was founded on Year 12 Day 221. This first incarnation of 11th Group was formed with a Heavy Assault mandate, but has since been re-purposed as a reconnaissance orientated entity. To this end the Group is typically tasked with far range scouting operations that take its pilots to the fringes of Imperial Space and beyond. Currently the unit exists as the sole operational arm of the 5th Imperial Fleet, making them responsible for the defense of the 5th Fleets headquarters located within the Deep Core Oversector in addition to it's reconnaissance duties. Accordingly, the unit contains a whole host of versatile pilots capable of tackling a wide variety of tasks that lie outside their prescribed unit orientation.

The Group's motto is well suited to the unit and is: "Praemonitus, Praemunitus."This translates to:"Forewarned, Forearmed."

History

In the Year 12 Day 221 by the order of Lord Admiral Blackrain and Naval Command, The 5th Imperial Fleet and 11th Group were born. Commodore Mayas Lennorian was assigned as Fleet Commanding Officer. The group designation was to become the 11th Group, commanded by Lieutenant Ardath Lemeth at the time.

As mentioned earlier the 11th Group was first formed with an Heavy Assault Mandate, but has overtime changed its military focus. The 5th Fleet reputation has been growing ever since the day it was born, defined by the hard working men and women that it is made up of. Few have not heard of the 5th Imperial Fleet in modern times, and their reputation continues to grow. The 5th Fleet has been taking part in several operations since its creation and has proven to the galaxy and themselves they are a force to be reckoned with.

Operation Pink

On Day 230 of Year 12, Intelligence was acted on regarding a nefarious plot spearheaded by Rebel terrorists unknown. The plot involved filling the Empires capital space with various debris all colored pink, in an attempt to inconvenience the Empire. Reports indicated that some of the debris was purchased with stolen Galactic Credits, or the items stolen themselves.

The 5th Fleet was charged with completely locking down the system, and they were successful. Through communiques that were strategically leaked to the terrorists, they were informed that the fleet knew who was involved, and that entering the system at all would leave them with only the choice of arrest or death, depending on their actions on entering.

Shortly after the information was leaked, Intelligence reported emergency communiques between terrorists warning to abort their attempts. It seems that the warnings were heeded, as the courage lacking terrorists not once showed their face. The mission was, by all accounts, successful and an excellent first mission for the newly formed 5th Imperial Fleet.

Operation Derelict Rancor

Through the days 96-105 in year 16, one of the most extensive training exercises in Imperial history took place. Operation Derelict Rancor was revolutionary in the aspect of combined-arms operations, and saw two opposing task forces consisting of 5th Fleet and 1st Legion units clash over and on the surface of the core world of Kalist III.

The defending task force of Team Derelict, simulating rogue Imperial units taking an entire planet hostage, was tracked down and attacked by loyalist units of similar strength and composition. Despite ferocious resistance from Team Derelict and the fact they were facing down officers they few days ago had considered close friends, Team Lawful did not shy away from their duties, but engaged and neutralized the enemy space forces.

A relentless hunt for the armored units on the planet surface followed. Supported by TIE/sa Bombers, the AT-AT's of Team Lawful routed the remaining renegade units. This was one of the first training exercises with joint command and forces, and it showed the combined strength of the Imperial forces working together.
