226th Fleet

The 226th Fleet is the Numbered Imperial fleet serving the Third Imperium stationed in the Mukusi Subsector of the Antares Sector.

Description (Specifications)

The fleet has access to two Naval Bases. There are two BatRons assigned. Long range ships are needed for this sparse subsector (L of Antares Sector, on the edge of the Lesser Rift).

Goals (Mission)

To defend Imperial borders and protect Imperial assets.

Strategy & Doctrine (Operations)

To provide long range striking formations to interrupt enemy offensive operational tempo. To isolate and eliminate enemy logistical assets and to avoid set piece engagements with enemy main fleet elements.

History & Background (Dossier)

Stripped of many squadrons over the years due to dynastic crises upon the throne, the full fleet's forces have yet to be restored. Denuded of separate support squadrons, its two surviving battle formations have been forced to integrate support elements to maintain operational readiness. Historically they have struggled with blockades.

Tables of Organization (Organizational Structure)

Two battle squadrons, one for the fleet admiral and one for the vice admiral. They are lacking in carrier support and do not have sufficient troop strength for protracted sieges.
