History

The 7th Imperial Fleet is one the newer fleet in the Imperial Navy to date, and was established after the latest Naval reform. Prior to the creation of the 7IF there was a rather large influx of new recruits wanting to join the Empire. Both this influx and IHC's wish to restructure the Imperial Navy contributed to the creation of the Seventh Imperial Fleet, commonly known as the 7IF.

Then LTCMDR Corwyn, who earned his spurs in the First Imperial Fleet under the leadership of Axe Vulcan, emerged as a suitable candidate for the post of CO and was appointed by FADM Slicer. LTCMDR Corwyn chose his staff based on past experience, selecting both senior enlisted and officers whom he deemed as suitable for the job. His choices were based on past experience with these prospects. In the end ENS Saretti was appointed CoS at LTCMDR Corwyn's request. LT Orion Jenru, a veteran Imperial himself, was appointed XO by NHC. The ranks of the fleet were supplemented by several senior enlisted who helped to establish the 7th as a fully functional fleet. VADM Rob was assigned the post of Admiral of the Fleet to oversee the smooth launch of the 7IF. During his last days as in this position, he commended the work of LTCMDR Corwyn, saying: “It's good to know that the fleet is in such good hands.” VADM Rob retired shortly thereafter.

Both the experience of the command staff and the dedication of the new members of the 7IF were crucial factors in establishing the fleet as quickly. This effort was rewarded by NHC with a FoM-award. It was during this period that the 7th established a preliminary command post in the Jumus system. This post's primary function was to aid in the coordination of the fleet's involvement in the development of the tax planet Scylla, but it soon became evident that this simple command post had grown beyond its initial purpose. Jumus is now considered as the fleet's headquarters and main garrison.

Since then the 7th has seen several recruits, pilots and officers pass through its roster, either moving on to different assignments, being discharged honourably or simply retiring. Currently, the 7IF has a steady roster of pilots and officers. LTCMDR Carvalm was one of the notable additions to the 7th, who, upon his return to Imperial service, assumed the position of Adviser to the Fleet, thus supplementing Fleet Command and adding his experience to the fleet.

Year 10 tuned out to become a fateful year for the fleet. By the end of year 9, the upthrusting LTCMDR Saretti – in those days XO of the fleet – was commandeer to a confidential mission and had been succeed by the young and ambitious officer ENS Tarr. Even Tarr had hold the position of the Fleet’s CoS, and by this had been well acquainted with the fleets organization, he had to maintain his ground against the omnipresent person of his CO. Just when the fleet command had found a new and promising coherence private issues force CDRE Corwyn to retire. Caused by the back down of the CDRE, who impersonated the fleet for a large part, a huge number of senior enlisted decided to retire as well. Others have changed to different branches. Since the quality and high standard of service within 7th was commonly known in the whole Empire, those applications for transfers were well received. In those days NHC decided to call LTCMDR Saretti back to the fleet and appointed him as CO. Immediately Saretti started to refill the vast gaps the leave of Corwyn has cracked. On Year 10 Day 160 halfway through the time of enduring reorganizations the integration of the New Imperial Order into the Galactic Empire turn out to be a further and up to the present days the most critical challenge for the fleet. The just gained stabilization of the organization had been jumbled again. The merger resulted in an accession of nearly 100 % in new contracts. By this the fleet almost lost its identity. Tarr, who had been prompted to the rank of a LT, was at hand with help and advice for the still new CO. In these difficult times a deep friendship between both men grew which lasts up to presents.

Scope of Operations

Mission overview

Missions of the 7IF include, among others, typical Navy missions:

  • System Scanning/Patrol
  • Planet (Atmosphere) Scanning/Patrol
  • City Scanning/Patrol
  • Arrest/Execution of enemies of the Galactic Empire
  • Material Hauling
  • Facility Construction/Recycling
  • NPC/passenger Transport
  • System Invasion
  • System Defence

NHC and, in extension, IHC both determine the current type of mission for any given fleet. The 7IF has participated in several missions so far, and continues to perform its duty in the Empire.

Completed and running assignments

  • Tax Planet: Scylla
    The 7IF was heavily involved in the Scylla project, and its contribution to the success has been recognized as integral. The strong presence of the 7th added to the force the Empire displayed at Scylla, which in turn rebuked the feeble attempt of enemy forces to disrupt the completion of this important tax planet.
  • Tax Planet: Tarorasuil
    After completion of Scylla the 7IF joined the effort on Tarorasuil to complete this tax planet. The 7th also arranged planet-wide NPC pick-up for the MoO.
  • Operation: Spearhead
    The 7IF participated in a coordinated battle simulation which aimed at evaluating possible strategies for space combat.
  • Classified and Solo Missions
    Apart from regular duty members of the 7IF participate regularly in select missions for the IHC/NHC. The nature of those missions varies but can not be disclosed. Suffice to say that the 7th has been held in great esteem for those efforts.
  • Assault Force
    The current emphasis of NHC lies on readiness of its fleets. Hence, joint operations between the Army and the Navy are being conducted in order to explore the different options in inter-branch operations.

Pilot training and simulation

As one of the newer fleets in the Navy, the 7IF was equipped with cutting edge technology and outfitted with the most sophisticated means of pilot training.

The most noteworthy and likely most sophisticated facility is the BattleSim. It allows for simulation of battle conditions for newer pilots who did not see combat yet. It has several settings and can accurately emulate all desired conditions, ranging from simple scanning missions to coordinated attack runs.

Aboard its flagship, the Chimaera, the 7IF has access to a VTF, a visual training facility, which can create all kinds of scenarios for pilots and command staff. This facility has already seen some action in the form of “Functional Naval Ingenuity Exercises”, a series of tests and exercises aimed at heightening pilots' awareness and solution-oriented thinking. In addition, the VTF provides several other programs. Among them are automated and guided tutorials for new pilots, or refresher courses for senior members of the fleet.


Structure and Equipment of the 7IF

Similar to other fleets of the Navy, the 7th is structured into squadrons and assault groups. All squadrons report directly to Fleet Command, which in turn reports to Navy High Command. The regular rooster of the 7IF is composed of pilots and officers, both on active duty, carrying out NHC's orders. In addition to this staff, the 7IF has a contingent of engineers and technicians at its disposal for the purpose of keeping the equipment battle-ready.

Like all other fleets the 7IF possesses a flag ship. In the case of the 7th it's the Chimaera, one of the Empire's ISD's. The fleet's other armament consists of a large number and variety of capital ships, fighter squadrons, and attack and support vessels. While not in active service, those craft are stationed in various strategic positions in order to ensure quick deployment when needed.


Miscellaneous (Brothers in Arms)

Notable ex-serviceman and women of the 7IF

Ramos Rob – Assigned as Admiral of the Fleet during the fleet's creation and early development. Retired shorty thereafter.

Davsk Carvalm – A veteran Imperial who re-joined the Empire after working on several missions outside its jurisdiction. His current status is as a reservist.

Orion Jenru – A seasoned veteran of the Empire, whose career spanned several years and left a mark on the 7th. His experience as a pilot was and likely still is unrivaled. After passing his experience onto the younger pilots and thus helping to forge the fleet's senior staff, he took a less active role in the Imperial Navy and asked subsequently for a transfer to reserves.

Axe Vulcan - An honorary member of the fleet, he is the mentor of the two CO's this fleet had; Commodore Corwyn and Captain Saretti. So he's an important character for 7IF. But he hasn't served actively in any capacity in this fleet. He is the current Navy Commanding Officer.

Rex Corwyn - A great leader of men, a brilliant tactician and founder and first Commanding Officer of the 7IF. He had retired to reserve in Y10 D193. In Y11 D063 When returning to active duty he has been assigned as "Advisor to the Fleet" by NHC.

Euna Miriel - Served as Fleet OA and CoS in 7IF, had transferred to the AF partners in the 2IL where she is holding the position of the LA,

Rawther Den - Being a talented chronicler he started to write down basic facts about the 7IF. Served as Fleet OA and CoS in 7IF. His current status is as a reservist.

Kavash Orr - (coming soon),

Ledagi Tormata - Served as CoS in 7IF

Gunther Rall - Had transferred to the AF partners in the 2IL where he is holding the position of the CO
