“The protecting cloak of the Empire”
The Imperial Navy is the Galactic Empire's space military force and as such the largest military branch in the whole known universe. Charged with the protection of the Empire against all those who would harm it, the Navy will use any amount of force, no matter the cost, to uphold and serve the New Order. To achieve that end the Navy can draw upon a vast array of ships, such as the fear inspiring Imperial Star Destroyer I featured on the Navy's crest. But not the equipment, but the Empire's finest officers and enlisted are what make this massive organisation great.
The mission of the Imperial Navy is to protect Imperial worlds, Imperial citizens and the New Order through:
The Imperial Navy is lead by Navy Command consisting of the Navy Commanding Officer, the Navy Executive Officer, the Navy Logistics Officer and the Navy Signals Officer. They are in direct control of the six Imperial Fleets. Each fleet is assigned to an Imperial Sector and commanded by a Fleet Commanding Officer. A fleet is usually split into two or more groups with specialised combat roles.

The Imperial Navy is divided into two divisions, namely;
Capital Command
Imperial Navy Starfighter Corps
Capital Command
Capital Command (CAPCOM) is the capital vessel warfare Division of the Imperial Navy. Using state of the art technologies, CAPCOM is characterized by the use of a range of capital ships that maintain a plethora of mission roles and capabilities such as the Lancer-class Frigate with its escort role, through to the massive Super Star Destroyers in their Fleet Flagship role. Depending on ship type, CAPCOM may also be responsible for transporting and assisting in the deployment of both INSC and Imperial Army elements to their respective battlefields, as part of the Combined Arms doctrine of the Imperial Military.
Arranged into Fleets and then further broken down into Groups, CAPCOM form the backbone of Imperial Task Forces seen deployed throughout the galaxy. Operating with a doctrine of maneuverability, flexibility, and sheer firepower, CAPCOM vessels are designed to be employed in a variety of ways which build on the strengths of each ship class within the Group, and to take maximum advantage of an enemy’s weakness in technology, strategy, or the battlefield.
The Commanding Officer of every Group will always command the lead capital ship of the Group, and thus they will be a CAPCOM officer; although the bulk of their career may have been spent in the INSC. Highly trained in command and tactics, CAPCOM junior officers will typically serve aboard a support role capital ship such as the Carrack and Lancer Frigates, with the most capable and intelligent rising to command one of the thousands of warships within the Imperial Navy. Senior CAPCOM officers will eventually be given command of the more powerful battleships such as the Victory and Imperial classes of Star Destroyer, whilst those who rise to the status of Fleet Commanding Officer will be given command of the awe-inspiring Super Star Destroyers.
Members of CAPCOM are required to have demonstrated skill in the following areas:
Starfighter Corps
The Imperial Navy Starfighter Corps (INSC) is the space-based fighter warfare Division of the Imperial Navy. Maintaining an impressive battlefield record, the INSC selects only the best pilots from throughout the Empire for its mission to fly, fight, and dominate the starfighter spectrum of warfare. Advanced technology developed and used by the Empire such as the TIE/Interceptor and TIE/Bomber ensures that the INSC has the power to out-maneuver hostile forces and strike quickly without warning. Maximising the efficiency of onboard resources within the design of starfighters, most Imperial starfighters lack hyperdrives which makes the INSC fully reliant on larger vessels for transportation and deployment between systems.
Assigned to Naval Groups to support the Capital Command Division, the INSC operates with a two thrust doctrine; the first thrust being the high quality of training and ability of its pilots, and the second a strategy of numerical superiority in starfighter combat. By operating in unison with the Capital Command Division, the INSC is able to ensure that its fighters and bombers remain at the forefront of protecting the space lanes of the galaxy.
Senior INSC officers often advise the Group Commanding Officer regarding the best application of starfighter battle doctrine in any situations where the insight of a subject matter expert is required. The junior officers of the INSC are typically employed as squadron leaders, who are responsible for 12 fighters, and lead their squadron into battle directly, and command their squadron to dominance on the battle field. Finally, the most capable and skilled pilots within the INSC will become revered for their victories, abilities, and service to the Emperor. For their achievements in both battle and service, some are granted the official status of Fighter Ace.
Members of the INSC are required to have demonstrated skill in the following areas:
Department of Training
Imperial Navy Department of Training (INDOT)
The Imperial Navy Department of Training is responsible for the general training and development of personnel and units within the Imperial Navy.
The department is lead by the Navy Training Officer (NTO) who is responsible for identifying strengths and weaknesses within units, fleets and the Imperial Navy in general and act upon them via developmental training exercises and wargames. The NTO reports to the Navy Commanding Officer as part of Naval Command on the current training situation of the Imperial Navy and actions been taken to develop units further.

The direct link between the NTO and the individual fleets and units are Fleet Training Officers (FTO) who are responsible for training within their assigned units, ensuring that all pilots meet the standards of the Imperial Navy. The role expands beyond individual training to also advising Fleet Command on current training issues and Naval Command requirements on training standards set by the Navy Training Officer.
The Department of Training is also responsible for divising Training Scenarios for the Imperial Navy to maintain combat standards and to evaluate and review the progress and strengths of individual units via After Action Reports.

2nd Group
'The 2nd Group'
The vast stretches of the Kuat OverSector and the lives and well being of the Imperial citizens calling it home required some of the most skilled pilots the Empire had to offer. Out of this need The Second Fleet was born.
Boasting one of the most storied, and outstanding histories of any military unit in the Galactic Empire. The fleet is home to some of the Empire's oldest and most venerable vessels and has been commanded by some of the most shining officers the galaxy has to offer; Men such as FADM Samurai , FADM Ascarion, ADM Saretti FADM Savk and LADM Sean.

4th Group
It is an unfortunate fact that the proud Corellian name has long been linked in the galactic conscious to those of a less respectable nature. Be they criminals, pirates, smugglers or rebels. The combination of fierce pride and an ever independent nature often leading young Corellians astray before either trait could be channelled productively by civilised society. Unfortunately with their natural inclination towards taking and succeeding at high risk-high reward strategies Corellians also have a tendency to be remarkably more successful than most in those dangerous lines of work. Put them in their home ground, a Sector which also happens to have vast wealth passing along multiple trade routes at an astounding rate, and even the most optimistic members of standard security forces would decide to retire. That's before mentioning the rest of the galaxies criminals, rebels and other enemies of the Empire turning up for their cut of the illicit gains to be had. Whilst they may be able to run rings around more traditional forces none, however, bargain for the lengths taken by the Fourth Group of the Third Imperial fleet to protect the sectors prestigious wealth and vital Imperial supply lines.
Working with Imperial Intelligence and CorSec the Fourth Group employ their considerably naval resources with precision to effectively and efficiently dismantle criminal operations within the sector. Ensuring the many important trade clusters and powerful corporations of the sector can retain confidence in the security of the sectors hyper routes. With the Corellian Run and Corellian Trade Spine being two of the galaxies largest and most important trade routes this is no small task. Even when the most obscure routes are used to strike the Fourth Group are always ready and waiting to intercept those that attempt to use them, ensuring they will never do so again. Where the Old Republic allowed pirates and smugglers to prosper for thousands of years, the Fourth Group ensures the sectors legitimate business can continue to fuel the Imperial economy unhindered by illegal activity.
In a Galaxy divided by war maintaining the supply lines required to achieve military superiority becomes important not just for the sector itself but for the entire galaxy. As awe inspiring as the firepower of a Star Destroyer is, it takes more than technology to protect as tempting a target as military assets being shipped from Corellias many shipyards and factories. Constantly adapting their techniques the repertoire of the Fourth Group is known to stretch more than little beyond that of conventional forces. Methods described as unorthodox after success would be labelled as insane and discarded without attempt anywhere else. When you constantly outwit even the most cunning enemies of the Empire on a regular basis however, you're entitled to a little flexibility when it comes to inventive tactics. Granted that flexibility the Fourth Group can and will continue to outmanoeuvre any foe.
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.

11th Group
"Praemonitus, Praemunitus."
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."
