The Second Imperial Fleet was officially formed on Y 6 D 338 (November 5, 2005) - the result of the fusion of the old Elrood Defense Fleet with the original Second Imperial Fleet. Under the command of some of the most able officers the Imperial Navy has to offer it has evolved to an elite combat unit in the armed naval forces of the Galactic Empire. The enlisted personnel that is serving in this fleet are well drilled, well trained and well organized and thus a force to be reckoned with! Under the able leadership of their senior officers they guard the space lanes, planets and systems of the Galactic Empire. Each member of this fleet does possess an iron, unfaltering will to support and defend the Galactic Empire against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

History

Previous Fleet Commanding Officers

Fleet Admiral Samurai

Was the 2IFs first commanding officer. Captain Dimitri Sephiroth was appointed as fleet FXO.

Captain Dimitri Sephiroth

Appointed after the Blockade of Commemor in the first quarter of 2006, LTCMDR Dujaan Korr was promoted to FXO. Mid 2006 Commander Prijo Sacha joined the fleet as LTCMDR Korr left on an extended LOA.

Captain Prijo Sacha

In Octover 2006 he became the new FCO, with LTCMDR Corran Nu as FXO.

Vice Admiral Zachary Savk

Vice Admiral Zachary Savk, who shortly before had returned to active duty after a 3 year break, took over on the 7th of July 2007 as - Captain Sacha being on LOA during this time was later removed from fleet command, CMDR Dujaan Korr was reassigned to another fleet, leaving LTCMDR Janos Korin as FXO. LT Beckhart (formerly of the Imperial Army) was assigned as Chief of Staff, but left after only a few short months. Fleet Command now consisted of VAdm Savk (FCO), LTCMDR Korin (FXO), and eventually CMSGT Jakhim (FCoS). Prior to his LOA he was was the FCO of the Emperor's Imperial Command Fleet. But the position he held longest was as the FCO of the old 2nd Assault Fleet. It was there that he started his career as a TIE pilot. He also founded the Imperial Naval Academy (INA) and was its first Director. It is long outdated now but prior to his endeavours there was no formal recruit training and all recruits had to pass a short written exam before being assigned to a fleet. Other positions he held over the years include Naval Command Coordinations Officer (NCCO) and Naval Executive Officer (NXO). He also took a very brief tour of duty in the Imperial Army where he commanded a Brigade of AT-ATs at the rank of Colonel for a few months. Many members of the Second Imperial Fleet consider the taking over of VAdm Savk as the Golden Age of the fleet, as it brought a new wave of high activity and many successful missions - as a result the 2IF was the first fleet in the Empire to receive the valued Fleet Of Month Award for 2 months in a row. Small wonder that Savk, after only a few months as commander of the 2IF was promoted to Admiral in Y9D116. Three days later he got a permanent seat in the Navy High Command and assignments as Secretary of the Navy or Executive Officer of the Navy followed. The Date Y9D219 became a day for celebration for this highly decorated officer: Due to his impeccable service for the Empire and the Imperial Navy Admiral Savk became the first (and sole) recipient of the Gold Navy Cross of Merit, awarded by Rear Admiral Assam.

LTCMDR Andhers Jakhim

Being the right hand of the fleet commander for many months he stepped up to command position as Admiral Savk was called to higher duty in NHC. Due to the fact that this was leaving Admiral Savk with little time for the daily fleet work he had been given the Admiral of the Fleet position which only once before had been held by an Imperial officer in the history of the 2IF. So LtCmdr Jakhim stepped up to the difficult task to lead the Second Imperial Fleet, which he did for a whole month with formidable results. Still this able Imperial officer felt that he could not give the fleet members all the level of attention that he expects a Commanding Officer to give his fleet. Rather than waiting for something bad to happen he wisely contacted parts of Naval High Command and asked to be replaced. After stepping down LtCmdr Jakhim was granted the position of Fleet Advisor, a position that was last used when Commodore Hack Skice was a part of the fleet.
