Overview

The Eighteenth Fleet was a part of the Star League Defense Force Naval Command.[1]

History

One of the SLDF Naval Command's independent Fleets, the Eighteenth Fleet was highly mobile, tasked with six different regional deployments in the ten years between 2751 and 2761. When the Periphery Uprising began the Eighteenth was scattered across both the Magistracy of Canopus and Free Worlds League and ended up taking heavy casualties from saboteurs in the opening weeks of the uprising; however, as the extent of the Secret Army became known, the Eighteenth Fleet linked up with the Ninth Fleet to continue combat operations.[1]

Officers

In 2765 the Eighteenth Fleet was commanded by Admiral Rackham Jones from the WarShip SLS Jonathan Cameron.[1]

Composition History

2765

  • Escort Squadron
  • 2 Line Squadrons
  • Pursuit Squadrons
