When the Talbott Quadrant was established, the Tenth Fleet of the Royal Manticoran Navy was created and assigned there.
==Local defense ==
Under the Constitution of the Talbott Quadrant 15 local self-defense forces were planned to be organized as the Quadrant Guard.
== LACs issue ==
* Local defense forces were planned to be strenghtened with modern LACs and integrated with the RMN.
* More exposed points were covered first. In the initial stage decent coverage around the northern periphery was planned. Because of it the first planned deployment places were Prairie, Celebrant, and Nuncio, but not Pequod.That was covered by Rembrandt Trade Union members' navies.
* A LAC group supported Tillerman picket.
* LAC Group 711 took part in the Battle of Spindle.
