"Nothing Can Stop the First!"

— Rear Admiral Ranson Sharp

The 1st Imperial Fleet, also known as the "Fighting First," are the guardians of the Imperial capital and its surrounding sectors. The Fleet is known for its outstanding discipline, traditions and performance that have seen it highly decorated since it's formation in Year 12. The 1st Imperial Fleet always seeks to set the bar for standards within the Imperial Navy and always strives to raise them.

History

The 1st Imperial Fleet was garrisoned in the Kuat Sector for five years before it was reassigned to the Coruscant Sector during the restructure of the Imperial military in Year 12. The 9th and 10th Fleets, stationed in the Meridian Sector, were disbanded and absorbed into the 1st Fleet. Its former mottos have been "Nihil aliud scit necessitas quam vincere", "Dominatus Per Imperatum Consequit", and "First in Battle, Last in Defeat".

Operation Minsk

Otherwise known as the The Battle of Churnis, Operation Minsk took place within the Churnis Sector, seeing the 1st Imperial Fleet alongside it's counterparts the 1st Imperial Legion taking up offensive operations against the Zann Consortium alongside other governments and organisations that wished to take control of the Churnis Sector.

The 1st Imperial Fleet saw action halting the initial advance of the Zann Consortium's ground forces across the Sector up until the arrival of the 1st Imperial Legion which brought about the stall of the Consortium's offensive, from that point on the fleet began conducting intelligence operations and air to ground co-ordination with the 1st Legion to bring about the withdrawal of all Consortium forces within the Sector. Joint-Arms operations during the conflict lead to the arrest of two individuals wanted by Imperial Intelligence for crimes against the Empire, Fleet Admiral Igorod Krakatoa the commanding officer of the Triumvirate Navy and leader of their Operations within Churnis and an arrest of a Sunguard Officer that lead to the subsequent arrest of Imperial Defector Borijov Goerke.

Operations within the Churnis Sector lead to the 1st Imperial Fleet being awarded a Campaign Medal.

Operation Bamako

Operation Eagle Eye

Operation Alsakan Tessent

Late in Year 15, the 1st Imperial Fleet received an alert that Alsakan, an Imperial world located deep in the Coruscant Sector, had declared itself independent of the Empire. Fleet Commanding Officer Captain Sal Takla immediately set the Fleet status to Yellow and mobilized the Fleet for a rapid response. In a matter of days, the Fighting 1st had assembled a small fleet of ships to secure the planet. Threatened by a possible Imperial landing, the government of Alsakan accepted an offer from Imperial diplomats to peacefully rejoin the Empire, ending the confrontation. While the 1st conducted small patrolling efforts and landed some assets on the planet, the Fleet demobilized and lowered the Fleet alert level back to Green and resumed their preceding training exercises.
