Tables of Organization (Organizational Structure)

There are 5 Naval bases in the subsector, 3 Scout bases, and no Way stations. There are five line squadrons and three ScoutRons assigned to the fleet. The subsector's high population worlds provide the colonial troop strength for the fleet's two AssaultRons. There is also one BatRon, and two CruRons assigned to the fleet. The Azhanti who are native to Irale (Antares 2315), serve with distinction in this fleet and well beyond. Fleet Admiral (08) Sir Manfred Rennard is the supreme naval commander in the Gimgir Subsector. He works closely with Lieutenant General (09) Baroness Marial Dinnah who commands an imperial army corps AKA the Gimgir Subsector Imperial Army Legion.
