THE 9TH IMPERIAL FLEET: A SYMPHONY OF EXCELLENCE

Imperial_Star_Destroyer_by_MasterofIntelligence-2-1.jpg


"Our beloved 9th Imperial Fleet would, were it not for the resolve of its great leadership, be as doomed as our enemies surely are!"

The Ninth Imperial Fleet was the Imperial Military presence in the Bothan Sector. Charged with the defence and maintenance of law and order in Bothan space. On Y12 D33 (Jan 1, 2011) the 9th Imperial Fleet became the 9th Assault Group.


History

Fleet Formation

The Ninth Imperial Fleet was officially formed on Y10 D165 (May 17, 2009) and was the result of the great GE-NIO Merger. It was comprised of both former NIO personnel as well as long serving naval soldiers from the GE. After just a little over 2 months the unit successfully completed it's first two missions while working on it's first major operation to strengthen the Imperial presence it it's assigned sector.

Duties

Rather than outline specific roles for the 9if, Imperial High Command gave flexibility to the Fleet across the Bothan sector in order that the naval resources could be assigned as needed and shaped for mission requirements. The 9if held and maintained space-superiority within the Bothan sector. The 9if's in-built flexibility allowed for both focused capital ship firepower and TIE-Fighter superiority which was reflected in the design of their starships, the formation of their naval units and the overall organization of the 9if.

The responsibilities of the 9th Imperial Navy included, but were not limited to, defending Imperial citizens from space-based threats such as pirates, smugglers, and other armed governments, enforcing Imperial Will, and overseeing commerce through customs and blockade operations within Bothan Space. The 9if also performed orbital bombardments, transported major ground force deployments, and supported them from orbit.

Reformation

On Y12 D33 (Jan 1, 2011) following a large naval reform the 9th Imperial Fleet was formed into the Ninth Assault Group becoming part of the First Imperial Fleet alongside the Tenth Recon Group.

Notable ex-serviceman and women of the 9IF

Daniel Ascarion (FCO) - "He is an inspiration to all who work with him. He is an example of what an Imperial Officer can be!"

" If you want to know what leading a fleet really means, then learn from him. He has made the 9if what it is now, a home for us all."

Karl Donitz (FXO) - " Learn from his calm manner, it will teach you much.

" A calm man with a sharp mind, a kind heart, great skills and a lot of humour, the best XO we can wish for."

Mark Inkster (FCO) - Born and raised on Corellia, he started his career in the New Imperial Order, where he was assigned to the New Imperial Navy after graduating from the Academy. He was put into the Vindication Battlegroup, which later evolved into the NIO version of the 2IF. Six Months later he joined COMPNOR, where he served both as Academy Instructor and as recruiter for the Centre for Recruitment. Through hard work he advanced through the ranks and finally made it to XO of the 2IF. Soon after he took up a full time position as Academy Commandant and Director of the Imperial Centre for Recruitment and served some time in those functions. He later returned to the Navy and was put in command of the main logistics fleet of the NIO: The 3IF. Only after the NIO Navy underwent a restructure he found himself in charge of the NIO Navy Starfighter Corps where he served until the great GE-NIO Merger. After being reincorporated into the Galactic Empire Inkster was given the rank of Captain and was put in command of the newly formed Ninth Imperial Fleet. There he served with success from Year 10 Day 165 to Year 10 Day 331. He was well liked by all fleet members for his easy way with people and many mourn his going to the reserves and his subsequent replacement. He will, forever, be the first commander of the Ninth Imperial Fleet.
