Word of Blake WarShip Fleet
Formed 3057
Affiliation Word of Blake
Parent Command Word of Blake Militia

Largely built in secret from salvaged Star League WarShips, the Word of Blake WarShip Fleet would be largely revealed during the conflicts of the Jihad, where most of its ships would be destroyed.

History

Word of Blake's WarShip Fleet would see its official beginning in 3057, when the Free Worlds League presented the order with two salvaged ships: a Vincent-class corvette and an Essex II-class destroyer. These would be commissioned as the WoBS Blake's Redemption and WoBS Deliverance, respectively. These gifts came about as a result of WoB assisting the Free Worlds League since 3052 with the secret locations of mothballed SLDF WarShips, and the technological assistance necessary to restore them.[1]
