==History==  
  
The 2nd Imperial fleet was formed in Year 12 with pilots and officers from other units that all came together to hold the ground and maintain the tradition of [[Imperial Navy]] excellence. Known for it's history of strong leadership, high-quality pilots and a commitment to achievement of the highest standards, the 2nd Imperial fleet is often looked upon with envy as one of the proudest fleets in the NavyThe vast stretches of the Kuat Sector and the lives and well-being of the Imperial citizens calling it home required some of the most skilled pilots the Empire had to offer. Out of this need The Second Fleet was born.
+
The 2IF was founded in Year 12 Day 221 by order of Emperor [[Thomas Cherokee]], and in compliance with the Navy Restructuring Act, which saw the re-designation of the 4th and 8th Imperial Fleets into Groups and their merger into the 3rd Imperial FleetIn Year 15, the 4th Recon Group was disbanded following further force shaping and in Year 17, the 3rd Recon Group (formerly the 3rd Imperial Fleet, pre-Y12) was re-assigned to the 3IF, uniting both legacies under a single banner.

While under the command of Admiral [[Mordus Nordstroem]], elements of the 3rd Fleet were among the first to arrive in the newly discovered Hosnian system and were present throughout the entirety of Operation Swiftsure.  Reconnaissance and world-building assets/officers were deployed across multiple planets - focusing on Raysho, Cardota, and Hosnian Prime - allowing for advance enemy detection and system-wide intelligence which contributed to the early stages of the "build war" efforts and lasted throughout the Imperial campaign.
  
The 2nd Imperial Fleet, has a proud history and is recognized as one of the finest fleets in the Imperial Navy. It has been the home of many revered officers and pilots and has gained many accolades for her service to the Throne.

<br>
 
The 6th Group was formed on Year 8 Day 276, as the 6th Imperial Fleet. After the merger of the Galactic Empire and the New Imperial Order, they were assigned to Corporate Sector where they served as the backbone of the Empire's defenses of its far flung Oversector. Re-designated during the Year 12 reforms as 6th Group, the Group joined the 7th and 12th Groups to form the 6th Imperial Fleet. 6th Group continued to sever in 6th Fleet until Year 17 Day 200 when it was transferred to the Second Imperial Fleet.
 
 
Tasked with protecting the Imperial Worlds of the Corporate Oversector, the 6th Group is a group within the Second Imperial Fleet with the potential to bring enough firepower to a fight that can outgun most fleets in the galaxy. Its remote posting is a demanding one, and breeds self-reliant and stubborn officers who live and die to defend the Empire.
 
 
Called “The Imperial Eagles”, the 6th Group follow their motto to the letter. Order through strength of arms! This Group is composed of some of the most fearless men and women serving the Galactic Empire.
 
 
<br><br>

'''Disciplina, fortitudinem, et honorem.'''<br>
 
''“Discipline. Courage. Honour.”''<br>
 
The Widowmakers
 
</center>
 
<br>
 
Protecting the remote Corporate Oversector is not for the faint of heart. Far from the Galactic Core, cut-off from the rest of the Empire, supply lines stretched by vast swathes of space, the 7th Group maintains a watchful eye over the immeasurably important and symbolic Sith Worlds.
 
 
The difficulty and significance of their duty is not lost on the officers of the 7th. “Discipline. Courage. Honour.” The words of the Group's motto are not merely a creed to live up to but the requirements for survival in the unforgiving and remote regions it deploys in. Some of the best men and women in the Navy emerge from the forge of these conditions, and officers are expected to quickly develop the guile and tenacity to succeed. This process molds the officers of the Group into loyal, fierce, and creative soldiers, earning both fear and respect from their enemies.
 
 
The history of the Group also offers insight to these qualities. Originally founded as a special operations fleet, the 7th Imperial Fleet was formed during the Naval reforms of Y9. Completing many key missions, including a large number still highly classified, the 7th earned a reputation for its highly trained officers and its willingness to innovate and develop new strategies to defend the Empire. Following the unification of the Galactic Empire and the New Imperial Order, the 7th Fleet was reassigned from its previous home in the Corellian Sector to the outlying Corporate Oversector. There its adaptability was key, and the tenets which hold true today were imbued.
 
 
During the reforms in Year 12 the 7th Fleet was renamed to the 7th Group, joining the newly-formed 6th Group as part of the 6th Imperial Fleet. There it gained a focus on reconnaissance, taking on dangerous but invaluable missions in the Corporate Oversector. Eventually the 7th Group was moved into the Reserves, its expertise being dispersed into 6th Group to better support the fleet as a whole.
 
 
Now 7th Group has been reactivated under the auspices of the 2nd Imperial Fleet. Once again the officers of the 7th ply the spacelanes and stellar backwaters of the Corporate Oversector. Referred to colloquially as the Widowmakers after one of the Group's most famous flagships, the men and women of the 7th hold the line against criminality and disorder, and do so with a determined expertise that ensures their reputation among the Empire's enemies reflects their informal title.

Inheriting the attributes of her Commanding Officers, the Second works tirelessly to ensure that their reputation is well represented and maintained. Objectives are tackled with a keen and tactical eye, ensuring coordination and machine-like efficiency. The Second has a reputation for getting things done swiftly and with high accuracy.
 
<br>
 
Pilots are held to the highest standards and are rigorously trained and tested through combat drills and tactical maneuver training. It is because of this training that the Second Fleet's pilots have, time and again, raised many eyebrows among the Navy for their deadly efficiency in battle. Such efficiency has been tested time and time again by numerous high-risk operations. The Second has always held its own against any opponent it has ever met.
 
<br>
 
Within their areas of operation, the Second Fleet is tasked not only with sector defense and security but also aids in humanitarian efforts such as disaster relief and recovery and interplanetary diplomacy. As is customary, the Second works hand-in-hand with the Regional Government, and the Army, to ensure that all initiatives are shared and common goals are achieved.

The Second Imperial Fleet (2IF) is one of three active service fleets deployed by the Galactic Empire. The 2nd Fleet's area of responsibility is the Ruby Region, comprised of both the Tapani Oversector and Corellian Oversector. The Corellian Trade Spine, one of the galaxy's largest trading lanes passing through this Region, is of critical importance to the economic health of the Empire and business enterprises located in the Core Worlds. It is of particular importance to the 2nd Fleet, whose Regional Headquarters are located in the Corellia system.

First formed after the Navy Restructuring on Year 12 Day 221 under the command of Commodore Arya Downing by the merging of the original 4th and 8th Imperial fleets, which were re-organised into the 4th Recon Group commanded by Commander Galdarzz Aalon, and the 8th Assault Group commanded by Captain Khaleon Hope.

The 2nd Fleet is currently commanded by Commodore Ryn Tavel.

History

The 2IF was founded in Year 12 Day 221 by order of Emperor Thomas Cherokee, and in compliance with the Navy Restructuring Act, which saw the re-designation of the 4th and 8th Imperial Fleets into Groups and their merger into the 3rd Imperial Fleet. In Year 15, the 4th Recon Group was disbanded following further force shaping and in Year 17, the 3rd Recon Group (formerly the 3rd Imperial Fleet, pre-Y12) was re-assigned to the 3IF, uniting both legacies under a single banner.

In Year 22, following the new Military Restructure under Emperor Seele, the 3rd Imperial Fleet was re-designated to the 2nd Imperial Fleet.

Operation Swiftsure

While under the command of Admiral Mordus Nordstroem, elements of the 3rd Fleet were among the first to arrive in the newly discovered Hosnian system and were present throughout the entirety of Operation Swiftsure. Reconnaissance and world-building assets/officers were deployed across multiple planets - focusing on Raysho, Cardota, and Hosnian Prime - allowing for advance enemy detection and system-wide intelligence which contributed to the early stages of the "build war" efforts and lasted throughout the Imperial campaign.

Operation Reditus

Also referred to as the "CorSec Debacle", Reditus saw the 3rd Fleet embroiled in conflict in the Corellian Sector across multiple systems in the wake of former CorSec Grand Marshall Neria Derycke's betrayal of the Empire.

Corellian Gold

An operation to eliminate a criminal collective known as the "United Front" attempting to capitalize on setbacks experienced by the Empire following both Operations Swiftsure and Reditus. Warships of the 8th Assault Group first engaged UF forces in orbit of Botor in the Botor Enclave Sector in which two enemy capital ships were destroyed along with numerous fighter craft - with both Imperial warships sustaining only minor damage - and a third enemy capital ship put into retreat. The arrival of the Imperial Star Destroyer [REDACTED] cemented the 3rd Fleet's victory over Botor and allowed 3rd Brigade ground forces to lay siege to a UF installation following a brief battle between their remaining fighter defenders and the 8th Group's INSC detachment.

Former Component Units

The former 3rd Imperial Fleet was composed of several subordinate groups prior to the Year 22 Military Restructuring, when the group structure was abolished. This section briefly describe each of these former groups in terms of their roles, history and the sector where it was stationed.

3rd Group

The 3rd Group functioned as a reconnaissance unit stationed in the Tapani Oversector. Formerly known as the Third Imperial Fleet until Year 12, it was reactivated as the 3rd Group during Year 17.

8th Group

The 8th Group functioned as an assault unit stationed in the Corellian Oversector. This unit was formed during the Navy Restructuring on Day 221 of Year 12, where original 8th Imperial Fleet was re-organised into the 8th Assault Group. Following the new Military Restructure during Year 22, the group structure was abolished and the 8th deactivated.

4th Group

The 4th Group functioned as a reconnaissance unit stationed in the Corellian Oversector. This unit was formed during the Navy Restructuring on Day 221 of Year 12, where the original 4th Imperial Fleet was re-organised into the 4th Recon Group. It was deactivated during Year 15.
