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
In early Year 14, Imperial exploration forces discovered the Wynth system, deep within the Wyloff Sector, igniting a race between Imperial and hostile forces to secure the new system first.
The 1st Fleet, along with elements of the 1st Imperial Legion and members of the local Regional Government, was quickly mobilized and dispatched to the newly found system. Upon arrival, the 10th and 9th Groups established a perimeter around the system's lone planet, Wynth, while the Regional Government and 1st Legion Personnel landed on the planet and began build several bases and cities to secure the planet. During these efforts, the 1st Fleet successfully established a no-fly zone in the surrounding area, enforced by constant patrols and the emplacement of satellites throughout the system.
After several days, the Operation successfully concluded with the system being successfully secured, with planetary shields and defenses established. In recognition of the efficiency and hard work of the 1IF during the Operation and for securing a new System for the Empire, the Fleet was awarded a Unit Distinguished Service, an unprecedented second for any unit in the Imperial military.
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.
Fleet Activities
Aside from carrying out the 1st Imperial Fleet's main duty of protecting Imperial territory and interests in the Coruscant Oversector, members of the Fighting First also participate in various activities intended to both raise moral and establish a stronger sense of community within the Fleet.
1IF Music Department
Pioneered by the Fleet's younger members, the 1st Imperial Fleet's music department has become a great source of pride for the Fleet's members. One of the more popular songs written by the department is the Fleet's new official march "Nothing Can Stop the First", the first song ever composed by the Department.

Blue Royale Cantina
Originally known as the "Xenon Cantina", the recently reopened and renamed Blue Royale Cantina serves as the Fleet's premier location for R&R, as well as various friendly activities. These activities include the Fleet's Bi-Annual Pazaak Tournament and Christmas Raffle.
Aside from the Blue Royale's leisurely aspect, the Cantina also serves a site for many Fleet members to pay homage to past and present heroes within the Fleet. The prime example of this is the Cantina's famous Fleet Wall of Fame, which honors former Fleet Commanding Officers and displays memorabilia from every engagement, campaign, or operation in the Fleet's history.
