History

Year 12 Day 84

On Year 12 Day 84 NCOMD appointed then-Lieutenant Ardath Lemeth, Executive Officer of the 5th Group, a position of Group Commanding Officer in a new Fleet, they promptly assigned a new Group Executive Officer to take her place, transferring then-Lieutenant Junior Grade Lasidious von Feldure to the position.

"At first I'd wanted to thank Commodore Lennorian. The father of our Fleet. The protecting hand for our Fleet. Commodore Lennorian always has been such type of man who are never surrender. Even being in hard situations he always made the right choice. He never thought about his own desires but only about needs of fleet. This fleet is his life. His sense of life. I ask you to remember this always. I ask you to assist him in his hard work of leading the fleet. Commodore... You was the best teacher for me. I'll never forget your lessons and I hope I'll be able to be the same good leader like you are someday.

Also I wish to thank Lieutenant Commander Gentian for his wisdom and calmness during the service together with him. I want to say that I was honored to act as your right hand during my service at the post of FCoS and then as GXO. Being very impulsive person I can say that I'll miss your wise calmness. Now I have nobody who could calm me down. But... But I'll remember you and try to keep myself under control."

— Taken from Lieutenant Lemeth's farewell speech to the 5th Group

"The Empire expects great things of you; but will you be worthy of that trust? There are many more battles before you, more worlds to capture, more systems to liberate. You all burn to carry forward the glory of the Imperial Navy; to dictate a glorious peace; and to be able, when you return to your homes, to exclaim with pride: `I belonged to the glorious 5th Assault Group!´

Pilots, that conquest, I promise, shall be yours; but there is a condition you must swear to observe: to respect, carry and inspire your brothers in arms; to follow your leaders with respect and without demurral, and to give your all to your unit.

`Sentients of the Galaxy, the 5th Assault Group is here to break your chains; you may greet it with confidence. Upheavers and rebels toward progress and stability; hell has come to rain upon you!´"

— Exert from Lieutenant Junior Grade Feldure's speech to the 5th Group as the newly appointed GXO.
