Fleet Advisor
This veteran member of the Imperial Navy is the Fleet Advisor of the Second in the best sense of these words. His experiences from long years of service provide a valuable source of information for the command staff and have earned him respect not only in the 2IF but also in every other branch of service. The very same knowledge also makes him one of the first addresses for the enlisted, especially when it comes to any technical questions. In times of crisis he remains calm and skilfully leads those entrusted into his care. Although he is known for his friendly character his awards show without doubt that behind this easy going man is a highly decorated officer of the Imperial Navy who is to be reckoned with.

Fleet History
(written by Bryan Valoran)
The Second Imperial Fleet (2IF) was officially formed on November 5, 2005. The new Second was a merger between the old Elrood Defense Fleet and the original Second Imperial Fleet. Fleet Admiral Samurai took command of the fleet as its first commanding officer. Captain Dimitri Sephiroth was appointed as fleet XO.
A matter of days after the fleet’s formation, its first test as an operational unit came along. Rebel forces on Commenor were aggravating the Imperial High Command, and it was decided that the 2IF should give the scum a bloody nose as a warning against further insolence on their part. The blockade of Commenor lasted two months, from December 2005 through January 2006. The mission was the first of many for the fleet, but was important in that it demonstrated the ability of the fleet’s personnel to mesh quickly, a characteristic that has stayed with the unit to this day. The crewmen and officers of the 2IF were just one more example of the thoroughness of Imperial military training, in which flexibility was a critical asset.
After the blockade of Commenor, Naval High Command decided that FAdm Samurai could be better used elsewhere, and made over the day-to-day command of the fleet to Captain Sephiroth. Then-Lt. Commander Dujaan Korr was promoted to FXO. But as soon as the structure of the 2IF was changed, it men and women were tested again, this time in a massive campaign which would result in the humiliation of the treacherous Trade Federation.
Throughout late 2005 and in the first days of 2006, the Trade Federation’s relationship with the Empire had been deteriorating. The Federation’s leadership, which had recently changed hands, was power-hungry, and the dominance of the Empire in both the economic and political arena was galling. But the beings leading the business conglomerate were not merely jealous – their highest executives were under the influence of rebel diplomats. What the rebellion offered the Trade Federation in return for breaking its trade agreements with the Empire no one really knows. What is certain is that whatever they gained for their treachery was disproportionate to the losses they suffered at the hands of the Imperial military machine.
Operation Warspite began on February 25, 2006. The offensive was one of the largest in Imperial history, involving two entire fleets (the First and Second) and an entire legion of the Imperial Army. Large numbers of elite COMPFORCE troops were also employed. The offensive targeted eleven Federation systems simultaneously, an incredible area to cover even for the massive Imperial military. The operation would also be a difficult testing ground for many of the enlisted personnel in the fleet, including Staff Flight Sergeant Janos Korin, Flight Sergeant Orphaea Imperium, and Crewman Yuthar Sith, all of whom would become important players in the fleet command structure in the coming year. Other noteworthy pilots who made their debut in Operation Warspite included Crewmen Rafel Jafel and Andhers Jakhim.
The offensive was to last over two months, and though eventually successful, the pilots and officers of the 2IF were pulled out of Warspite early to launch a new offensive against the traitors of the New Imperial Order (NIO), which began on March 29th and was, at the time, a top secret mission code-named “Operation Bulldozer.” The operation lasted 17 days, and was spectacularly successful.
Operation Bulldozer targeted NIO expansion efforts in the Bothan sector. The mission was entirely based on the arrest and execution of hundreds of NIO construction workers, most of which had been hired by monies donated by the Eidolan pirates. In the spring of 2006, the New Imperial Order was alive and well with the spirit of fanaticism typical of revolutionaries, and was considered by most of Imperial High Command to be very dangerous, which it was. At that time the NIO still had many experienced officers who had only months before been in key positions in the Empire. Active and capable men such as Garen Karrade, former aide to then-Minister Thrawn, were part of the NIO leadership. (Months later Karrade would return to the Empire and would eventually be chosen to lead the Ministry of Truth.)
But the 2IF’s attack on the Bothan sector would prove to be the end of the NIO as a military threat to the Empire. Using surprise to their advantage, the pilots of the 2IF inflicted thousands of casualties on the NIO over the three target systems. That same month the fleet was awarded the “Fleet of the Month” award, largely for its actions in the Bothan sector. Though the main offensive lasted a little over two weeks, it was not until April 30 that the last Imperial forces finally withdrew from NIO territory, leaving behind yet another shattered insurrection.
The months of May and June were quiet, but in July the winds began to shift again. Commander Prijo Sacha joined the fleet as LTCMDR Korr left on an extended LOA, just as the fleet was re-assigned to the Elrood Sector. Their home base was to be the Kathol system, but a sudden change of events in the political relationship between the Empire and the Kathol Republic obviously changed that. The fleet was moved to Khuiumin, where it would stay for almost a year. New pilots also arrived to reinforce the fleet, including Rafel Jamel, Gredek Dregoth and Bryan Valoran. MFSGT Orphaea Imperium joined the fleet at the beginning of September at the personal request of CMDR Sacha. Janos Korin was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and placed in command of Alpha Wing, with SFSGT Yuthar Sith assigned as the group’s XO.
While all these changes were occurring in the fleet, one treacherous pilot decided to take advantage of the situation. The man was FSGT Thomas Givons, described by Korin “a very emotional man . . . his actions could often be described as a little immature.” Givons stole a Carrack cruiser and left the Elrood sector in direct contradiction of CMDR Sacha’s orders. Months later the Carrack was recovered. Givons was never found, but some time after the story of his death was told by a drunken pirate in some god-forsaken corner of the galaxy. Like any other being who had ever turned over an Imperial ship to pirates, he had been ruthlessly murdered in cold blood by those he had attempted to deal with.

Previous Fleet Commanding Officers
(written by Tareg DaRuup)
Fleet Admiral Samurai
 |
- Was the 2IFs first commanding officer. Captain Dimitri Sephiroth was appointed as fleet FXO. At the beginning of 2006, right aftert the successful Blockade of Commemor, NHC decided they needed Admiral Samurais sound abilities in other areas. His XO Captain Sephiroth took over the daily duties and soon enough Samurai took the “Admiral of the Fleet” position. Later in October of the same year FAdm Samurai, who had been closely overseeing the 2IF since his technical departure as its immediate CO, was promoted to the position of Navy Executive Officer, a change which would leave the Fleet Admirals position vacant for a long time. *
*(Big thank you to all those who helped to retrieve Samurais old avatar and to BGEN Kex who was the one finally coming up with it.).
Captain Dimitri Sephiroth
 |
- Captain Sephiroth was appointed to the fleet commander position right after the Blockade of Commemor in the first quarter of 2006, while LTCMDR Dujaan Korr became the new FXO. Some of Sephiroths closest friends and comrades in arms knew him to be a true Imperial from the depths of his heart and soul, who fulfilled every duty faultlessly. One reason for this was that a long time ago the peaceful population of his home planet Nar Challa was whiped out by the ruthless Hutts. Before fleeing into excile he had to witness the death of his parents, former rulers of Nar Challas monarchy, and his poor sister suffering an even worse fate at the hands of disgusting aliens before getting killed as well. From that moment on he hated every single hutt that crossed his path and was willing to bestowe order and justice with all means necessary to make sure everybody was safe and happy. It was only a matter of time until he found his new home in the Empire. Sephiroth was one of the rare people that had served the Imperial Core, the Dark Empire, and the Galactic Empire in a row and had risen rather high in the Imperial rank structure during his long career. 2006 he retired from the Empire with the rank of Commodore.
Captain Prijo Sacha
 |
- In Octover 2006 he became the new FCO, after joining the fleet mid 2006, with LTCMDR Corran Nu as FXO. An unignorable accumulation of inconsistencies over his 8 month long service prompted NHC to step in and command was given to Vice Admiral Savk. Nothing ever could be proved and thus he was never officialy trialed for any of the accusations that lead up to his replacement. Still Sacha never saw any commanding position again, moved through various office duty positions and later left the Empire to join the BlasTech Corporation, or BTC, an independent enterprise that did span several sectors. BTI was the successor to the Imperial Outer Rim Authority, that acted on behalf of the Galactic Empire. Later BlasTech broke relations with the Empire, joined into an Alliance with the Red Star Alliance and after that was reformed into the Pentastar Alignment - a declared enemy of the Galactic Empire. What became of Sacha is unknown.
Vice Admiral Zachary Savk
 |
- Vice Admiral Zachary Savk, who shortly before had returned to active duty after a 3 year break, took over on the 7th of July 2007, LTCMDR Jakhim became his XO. Time went by and the 2IF prospered under Savks guidance and his able XOs dedication. A few months later Savk was, once again, called to higher duty in NHC. He surrendered the FCO position to LTCMDR Jakhim and was given the Admiral of the Fleet position, which only once before had been held by an Imperial officer in the history of the 2IF. After his first month LTCMDR Jakhim stepped down as CO and LTCMDR Korin took over the helm. Under CMDR Korins command and the watchful eyes of Admiral Savk, the 2if was the first fleet in the Empire to receive the valued Fleet Of Month Award for 2 months in a row! Then disaster struck as the Navy CO Admiral Caldor Assam was murdered by cowardly traitors. The CoC kicked in and with Assad dead RADM Vulcan had to step up to the task of leading the Imperial Navy, with Savk as his NXO. Vulcans new duties made it impossible to deal with the entire Navy and the needs of his own fleet. A fleet of the Emperor was in need, since the 8IF now was without a proper commander, as well as without any able officers. So on Y10D77 Savk - the Admiral of the 2IF and it's long time CO was transfered over to the 8th. The Second wishes him luck in his endeavour to restore the 8th and make it as good a fleet to serve in as the Second is.
Lieutenant Commander Andhers Jakhim
 |
- Being the right hand of the fleet commander for many months he stepped up to command position as Admiral Savk was called to higher duty in NHC. So LtCmdr Jakhim stepped up to the difficult task to lead the Second Imperial Fleet, which he did for a whole month with formidable results. Still this able Imperial officer felt that he could not give the fleet members all the level of attention that he expects a Commanding Officer to give his fleet. Rather than waiting for something bad to happen he wisely contacted parts of Naval High Command and asked to be replaced. After stepping down LtCmdr Jakhim was granted the position of Fleet Advisor, a position that was last used when Commodore Hack Skice was a part of the fleet.
Previous Missions and Operations
Only a few days after the Seconds formation in the 4th quarter of 2005, its first trial came along: Rebel insurgents on the planet Commenor were organizing violent uprisings against the Empire as well as starting to commit terrorist acts against Imperial installations. Imperial High Command decided to act fast before things could get out of hand, so the 2IF was send out to deal with the problem and squash the rebellion. A heavy blockade was set up around Commemor, lasting for two months (from December 2005 through January 2006), which finally prompted the rebels to give up.
