Seventh Fleet

The Seventh Fleet was a fleet of the Imperial Navy during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Years before the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War, the Fleet was an effective and powerful force as it had resolved major conflicts on the Empire's behalf. The Fleet was commanded by Fleet Admiral Sartan, until Admiral Thrawn took his place around 3 BBY, though it was destroyed in the Unknown Regions and rebuilt in 2 BBY. In the same year, Governor Arihnda Pryce of Lothal requested the aid of the Seventh Fleet and Thrawn to deal with the Phoenix Cell and the Rebellion.
Grand Admiral Thrawn used the Seventh Fleet to form a blockade around Lothal, where he established his TIE Defender program at the local Imperial Armory Complex, and drive the Phoenix Cell from their base on Atollon. The Seventh Fleet faced a permanent defeat in 1 BBY during the Liberation of Lothal when Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger called upon a Purrgil pod to destroy the Fleet over Lothal and transport Thrawn’s flagship, the Chimaera, with himself and the Grand Admiral on the bridge, into hyperspace and to the Unknown Regions.
