History

The 7th Imperial Fleet is one the newer fleet in the Imperial Navy to date and has been established after the latest Navy reform. Prior to the creation of the 7IF there was a rather large influx of new recruits wanting to join the Empire. Both, this influx and the IHC's wish to restructure the Imperial Navy, contributed to the creation of a new fleet: the Seventh Imperial Fleet, commonly known as the 7IF.

LTCMDR Corwyn, who earned his spurs in the 1IF, emerged as a suitable candidate for the post of CO and was appointed by FADM Slicer to this post. LTCMDR Corwyn chose his staff based on past experience and chose both senior enlisted and officers whom he deemed as suitable for the job. His choice was based on past experience with these prospects. In the end ENS Saretti was appointed CoS at LTCMDR Corwyn's request. LT Jenru, a veteran Imperial himself, was appointed XO by the NHC. The ranks of the fleet were supplemented by several senior enlisted, who helped to establish the 7th as a fully functional fleet. VADM Rob was assigned the post of Fleet Admiral to oversee the smooth launch of the 7IF. During his last days as admiral he commended the work of LTCMDR Corwyn and said: “It's good to know that the fleet is in such good hands.” VADM Rob retired shortly thereafter.

Both the experience of the command staff, as well as the dedication of the new members of the 7IF were both crucial factors in establishing the fleet as quickly as it was. This effort was rewarded by the NHC with a FoM-award. It was during this period that the 7th established a preliminary command post in the Jumus system. This post's primary function was the coordination of the Scally involvement of the fleet, but it soon became evident that this post has grown beyond its initial purpose. Jumus is now considered as the fleet's HQ and main garrison.

Since then the 7th has seen several recruits, pilots and officers pass through its roster, either moving on to different assignments, being discharged honourably or simply defecting. Currently the 7IF has a steady roster of pilots and officers. LTCMDR Carvalm was one of the notable additions to the 7th, who, upon his return to Imperial service, assumed the position of Adviser to the Fleet, thus supplementing Fleet Command and adding his experience to the fleet.
