"Nothing can stop the First!"

— Rear Admiral Ranson Sharp

The Imperial First Fleet/First Imperial Fleet is one of three numbered fleets in the Imperial Navy. It is headquartered in the Coruscant Oversector and is the Navy's operational fleet tasked with defending the Imperial Capital and its surrounding sectors. Known for its outstanding discipline, traditions, and performance that have seen it highly decorated, the First Fleet sets the example for the Imperial Navy. The First Fleet as it is today was established in Year 12 as part of a series of Imperial Military reforms that saw it absorb the 9th and 10th fleets. Since that time, the fleet has been deployed on numerous occasions throughout its area of operations. The fleet proved instrumental in the Battle of Churnis (also known as Operation: Minsk) where it stalled Zann Consortium forces until the 1st Imperial Legion arrived; and again in securing the Wynth System for the Empire. The commander of the First Imperial Fleet is Admiral Tec Vaan.

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 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.

9th Group

'The Emperor's Fist'
"Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum"

The 9th Group functions as the assault unit within the 1st Imperial Fleet

The mission of the 9th Group is to be the shield for the Galactic Empire within Coruscant Oversector, to protect Imperial worlds and its citizens, through the usage of some of the most terrifying machines of war greatly feared by enemies of the Galactic Empire. The 9th Group works closely with the 10th Recon Group, who keep use well informed of the happenings in the Oversector, and our Army counterparts, who aide us greatly on the planetary level.

11th Group

"Praemonitus, Praemunitus."

Sharing an origin with its original Fleet, 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. On Year 17 Day 200 the 11th Group was transferred from the 5th Fleet to the 1st Fleet during a restructure of the Fleets. The unit contains a whole host of versatile pilots capable of tackling a wide variety of tasks that lie outside their prescribed unit orientation. As part of their new mandate with the First Fleet, the 11th group often performs patrols in the Deep Core to ensure the security of their area of operations.

The Group's motto is well suited to the unit and is: "Praemonitus, Praemunitus."This translates to:"Forewarned, Forearmed."

The Tenth Group was part of the 1st Imperial Fleet and was responsible for the Protection of the Coruscant Oversector against any and all threats that dared venture forth.

The Core Duty of the Tenth Group alongside the Ninth Group was to provide overwatch protecting the Imperial worlds and their citizens within the Coruscant Oversector, alongside upholding the New Order through:

Defending and Maintaining Security in the the Imperial Capital;

Consistent and Routine Patrols of the Coruscant Sectors and their Planets;

Liaising and Coordinating with Regional Government & Imperial Army Commanders to Maintain Strong Protection of our Sectors;

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.
