==History==
The '''First Fleet''' was one of eight [[WarShip]] fleets operating within the [[Draconis Combine]] in [[2765]], and was one of two fleets assigned to the Galedon district, serving alongside the [[2nd Fleet (DCA)|Second Fleet]]. The First Fleet was based around the [[An Ting (Individual Samarkand-class WarShip)|DCS ''An Ting'']], a ''[[Samarkand Block II (WarShip class)|Samarkand]]''-class carrier.<ref name="FR2765:DCp18">''Field Report 2765: DCMS'', p. 18: "Draconis Combine Admiralty"</ref>

In common with the other Fleets within the DCA morale in the First Fleet was high, despite the presumption by the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] that the DCA Fleets were little more than a taxi service. All of the crews within the First Fleet were subject to vetting by the [[Internal Security Force]] and each WarShip had ISF agents aboard, but the crews of the First Fleet were fanatically loyal to [[Coordinator]] [[Takiro Kurita]], well-trained, proud and aggressive.<ref name="FR2765:DCp18"/>

In common with the black water navies of the other [[Great Houses]] the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] was relatively small, despite the military buildup going on within the Draconis Combine following the decision by the [[Star League Council]] in [[2752]] to repeal the [[Council Edict of 2650]]; the various Fleets within the DCA had expanded sharply, largely through restoring mothballed WarShips to service, but was still dwarfed in size by the navy of the [[Star League Defense Force]].<ref name="FR2765:DCp18"/>

Whilst the exact composition of the First Fleet is unknown, the overall size of the DCA in 2765 was known to be forty-two WarShips - of which eight were the ''Samarkand''-class carriers serving as flagships within the eight fleets, two were ''[[Vigilant]]''-class corvettes assigned permanently to the [[1st Proserpina Hussars|First Proserpina Hussars]] and six were Block I ''[[Narukami (WarShip class)|Narukami]]''-class destroyers assigned to the [[7th Fleet (Draconis Combine)|Seventh]] and [[8th Fleet (Draconis Combine)|Eighth Fleets]] in the Pesht district. The remaining twenty-six WarShips consisted of seven heavy cruisers (five ''[[Aegis]]''-class and two ''[[Cruiser]]''-class), some fifteen assorted destroyers (five each of the ''[[Baron (WarShip class)|Baron]]'', ''[[Essex I]]'', and ''[[Lola I]]'' classes), and four ''[[Vincent (WarShip class)|Vincent Mk. 39]]''-class corvettes.<ref name="FR2765:DCp18"/>

It was noted by the [[Star League Intelligence Command]] that based on the rate of expansion within the DCA since 2752, if the military buildup continued at the same pace the various DCA Fleets would increase to three times their 2765-strength within twenty years.<ref name="FR2765:DCp18"/>

==Notes==
* Assuming that the WarShips were distributed evenly across the various Fleets, the First Fleet was most likely composed of the ''Samarkand''-class flagship DCS ''An Ting'' and four other WarShips, with those four likely to consist of either four destroyers/corvettes or a single heavy cruiser and three destroyers/corvettes - but it is important to note that this detail has not been confirmed in [[canon]].
