History & Background (Dossier)

Most fleet administrative functions are carried out in neighboring subsectors. The squadrons are detached from the 154th Fleet in the Usani Subsector and the 88th Fleet from the Atsah Subsector. This formation features a cosmopolitan composition including some asteroid ships rumored to be designed with the assistance of the Lurent. Postings were rumored to have included Nenlat citizens, and loyal Vargr.

Era: Regency

No other fleet has seen as much action or combat than the 183rd. With a wide area of responsibility facing the main body of the former Imperium and much of the Vargr Extents, the fleet is subjected to frequent Vampire incursions. At the peak of the Quarantine War, fleet units were averaging two or three battles a week against ships ranging from errant small craft to infected former Imperial Dreadnoughts. By 1200, battles might occur once or twice a year for most line units, but the fleet remains a cherry posting for ambitious and aggressive naval personnel. Demand for Frontier duty is high enough normally, but the 183rd's G-4 office only had enough billets for about 1 out of every 10 applications it received, and it selectivity made the fleet one of the most skilled and elite in the Regency.
