314th Fleet
The 314th Fleet is the Numbered Imperial fleet stationed in the Tlianke Subsector.
Description (Specifications)
With no imperial worlds located within the Tlianke Subsector, one would be tempted to suspect the veracity of an imperial fleet assigned to non-imperial space. However, this largely administrative organization does permit the Hinterworlds Sector fleet command to perform some interesting functions for the Domain of Sol. There are always funding and budgetary reasons why having a few extra "fleets" lying around is helpful to the vast imperial navy.
Goals (Mission)
Power projection beyond imperial borders to maintain contact with isolated client states.
Strategy & Doctrine (Operations)
Ilaria is frequently used as a jumping off point for these fleet operations. The fleet usually stops at Shanka before heading out on patrol in the Tlianke Subsector. They work hand-in-hand with the 85th Fleet.
History & Background (Dossier)
There are two trans-border covert operative ScoutRons assigned to a pair of imperial client states at Kupakii (Hinterworlds 1001 C654352-A) and 1301 Imukushush (Hinterworlds 1301 C55969A-5). They are tasked with keeping an eye on the Anubian Trade Coalition and some of the other political entities scattered in this region.
Tables of Organization (Organizational Structure)
The squadrons' Swift Missive class Couriers are complemented by Tacoolu class Light Cruisers. With their black globe generators and extensive sensor nets, they are excellent for quiet, stealthy intelligence gathering and ease dropping. The Scout Cruisers set their black globes to flicker and deploy sensor drones which relay burst transmission via meson communicators.
Commodore Smendrake Beaucefoos also has a BatRon of twenty Hedron class Battleships which are kept on a constant nomadic prowl. They are crewed from abandoned frozen watches recovered from old battle damaged ships. Many are 'out of time' with few ties to the current age. Those with no roots or family to miss are attracted to this duty. The battleships have five huge Fleet Tankers, one per division, and a vast train of small logistical craft for resupply which slip in and out of local ports looking like Free Traders. A million ton dispersed structure Fleet Tender acts as a mobile command base and fleet repair dock. She is kept hidden in the tail of a billion year old comet on a long orbit of an undisclosed system.
