Current Affairs

At this current time the 11th Group Commanding Officer (GCO) is Captain Quin Huntington. He leads the Group and is advised by his Group Executive Officer (GXO) Lieutenant Fenris Soontir on all matters regarding the 11th Group. Captain Huntington reports directly to the 5th Imperial Fleet Commanding Officer (FCO) Vacant and advises him.

Following the navel reforms of year 15, the 5th fleet has received a boost of new officers. It falls to the fleet training officer, Captain Mike Zammit, to tutor these new Ensigns and trough rigorous training and war-game exercises integrate them into the elite fighting force that is the 5th.

History

In the Year 12 Day 221 by the order of Lord Admiral Blackrain and Naval Command, a new Fleet and Group were born. They were the 5th Imperial Fleet, and the 11th Heavy Assault Group.

Part of the Lord Admiral's speech at the Naval Monthly Meeting on Year 12 Day 221 (July 8th, 2011) mentioned the following:

- Commodore Mayas Lennorian assigned as 5th Fleet Commander.

- The group designation is the 11th Group, commanded by Lieutenant Ardath Lemeth.

- The 11th Group will be the first [CLASSIFIED] type of unit.

Also at the same Meeting, Lieutenant Ardath Lemeth was promoted to Lieutenant Commander, and Lieutenant Junior Grade Kent Amba was appointed as the new Group's Executive Officer.

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 our 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.
