The Second Imperial Fleet was officially formed on Y 6 D 338 (November 5, 2005) and is the result of the fusion of the old Elrood Defense Fleet with the original Second Imperial Fleet. Under command and guidance of some of the best officers the Imperial Navy has to offer it has evolved into an elite combat unit in the armed naval forces of the Galactic Empire. The enlisted personnel that is serving in this fleet is well drilled, well trained and well organized and thus a force to be reckoned with! Under the able leadership of their senior officers they vigilantly guard the space lanes, planets and systems of the Galactic Empire, and they go willingly wherever duty takes them. Each member of this fleet - from the lowest enlistet to the highest ranking officer - does possess an unfaltering iron will to support and defend the Galactic Empire against all enemies, be it foreign or domestic.


History

Previous Fleet Commanding Officers

Fleet Admiral Samurai

Was the 2IFs first commanding officer. Captain Dimitri Sephiroth was appointed as fleet FXO.

Captain Dimitri Sephiroth

Appointed after the Blockade of Commemor in the first quarter of 2006, LTCMDR Dujaan Korr was promoted to FXO. Mid 2006 Commander Prijo Sacha joined the fleet as LTCMDR Korr left on an extended LOA.

Captain Prijo Sacha

In Octover 2006 he became the new FCO, with LTCMDR Corran Nu as FXO.

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. Time went by and the 2IF prospered 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. A few months later Savk was 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. Then disaster struck as the Navy CO Admiral Assam was suddenly murdered by cowardly traitors. The CoC kicked in and RADM Vulcan had to step up to the task of leading the Imperial Navy with Admiral Savk as his NXO. This left Vulcans 8IF without a proper commander and without any able officers, since his new duties made it impossible to deal with the entire Navy and a fleet as well. A fleet of the Emperor was in need. So on Y10D77 the Admiral of the Fleet and 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.

LTCMDR 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.

TIE-Pilot in the 2IF

The first line of defence in every Imperial Fleet are the fighter pilots - here the Second Imperial Fleet is no exception. Far from being anything but ordinary they represent the true elite of the Imperial Navy! Common believe, nurtured by enemies of the Empire, has it that to a TIE pilot, the success of a mission is more important than personal safety or the safety of fellow wingmen. While this might be true in some fleets it isn't the case in the Second Imperial Fleet. Here all fighter pilots are drilled in countless training scenarios to work together, to coordinate their actions to achieve the mission goal, while at the same time they are teached to look out for each others and watch their backs. The officers of the fleet constantly work out new tactics and command-control procedures for their TIE squadrons to further the vigor of their elite fighter squadrons.

Like in most fleets the primary mission of the fighter corps is to attack enemy ships, defend capitals, space stations, convoys and planetary garrisons. They are also used to escort TIE-Bombers on their assault runs. While off duty pilots usually train in the sims in the pilots ready rooms to further hone their skills. But the 2IF pilots are not only trained to handle fighter class vessels but they are able to pilot any ship that is in service in the Imperial Navy - be it a shuttle, freighter or one of the huge capital behemoths that put the fear in our enemies.
