History & Background (Dossier)

Era: Rebellion

A pre-emptive strike was enacted upon a radioactives mining/processing facility at Gzorraeth (Corridor 0701) by a squadron of close escorts from 61st Fleet

Era: New Era

With the creation of the Regency, the 61st Fleet becomes known as 61st (Ericsson's Rocs) Fleet, named after the starmerc squadron of its early Collapse period commander, Admiral Arabella von Ericsson. She was a Fifth Frontier War veteran and hero. Ericsson commanded a starmerc organization of the same name during the Civil War period, that was inducted into the 61st and became a nucleus of resistance against Virus intrusion from the Vargr Extents. The fleet's length of continuous service is one of the longest in the Regency, having faced Vargr during the entire Civil War period, and then fighting a mixture of Vargr corsairs and Vampire Fleets during the Dreamtime. And because of the variety of enemies it has had to face, its casualty rate is the highest in the Regency Navy.
