==Leadership==
From the flotilla's first informal establishment, leadership was an immediate and contentious issue. No regimented command structure between the different factions was ever properly established, and instead leaders from among each group would hold impromptu meetings with each other in order to decide the flotilla's strategic actions and overall direction of the group. Leaders from among the flotilla's sub-groups included:
*Rear Admiral Marko Antikov, commanding officer of the DFC Pelopidas
*Commodore Sonja Reuter, executive officer of the DFC Pelopidas
*Commander Malcolm Luthuli, commanding officer of the UNSC As Far As Siam
*Revut'jha-sig, leader of radical Kig-Yar faction and shipmistress of the Subversion. 
*Captain Nathan Shackleton, commanding officer of the CNFS Vulture Street 
*Colonel Daniel Reinhardt, commanding officer of 1st Battalion, Z Special Unit
