Federation First Fleet

The **Federation First Fleet** known as **Legion's Fleet** or simply **First Fleet** is a fleet within the Federation Navy serving as an offensive fleet utilizing the most advanced ships (including prototypes) under the Ra'dam Federation.

## History

The Federation First Fleet was created as an offensive fleet of the Federation Navy. Authorized with the most extensive information within the Federation and access to any federal requisitions. The Federation First Fleet was to be smaller than an offensive fleet but possess more powerful ships, the reason for this was to allow the First Fleet to bypass defense fleets and other strategic locations without compromise. The Spearhead of the Federation Fleet so to speak, as once announced to the enemy ships it was usually too late.

The fleet's first engagement was during the Federation Frontier War under the leadership of Admiral Daniel Thomspon in 138 BEW, which they would face off against the Corvanan Combine, which ended with a stalemate and eventually an alliance. Afterwards the First Fleet remained in the sector which would become the Frontier, dealing with petty pirates and raiders eventually being recalled to stand as a defense fleet of Ra'dam itself.

Sometime after, Daniel Thompson retired only to be replaced by his son, Jacob Thomspon as admiral of the fleet.

During the Avaxius Insurgency in 40 BEW the Federation First Fleet was first in line to face the Enclave's remnants on Avaxius, including their fleet. The First Fleet was successful due to unified coordinated strikes with a Corvanan Combine Fleet who had been sent to assist the Federation prior. The First Fleet was credited with multiple confirmed kills as well as assisting ground assets with the retaking of Avaxius and restoring order.

In 36 BEW, Jacob Thompson was assassinated by United Colonial Frontier loyalists during a rally on Typhus. The Fleet would be temporarily controlled by Terrance Aubrey until a new officer was placed in command of the fleet. In early 35 BEW, the fleet would gain a new leader in the form of Commander Harrison Thompson, son of Jacob Thompson and grandson of Daniel Thompson. Federation officials believing that Thompson would inspire moral among the navy as a offspring of the two legendary admirals. Unlike the ones before him, Commander Thompson was usually found to be feet on the ground with his soldiers.

In mid 35 BEW, the Cerberus Galactic Conflict would break out and the First Fleet would once more go on the offensive against a foe that humanity had never faced before, one terrifying and daunting in the form of the Cybros under the Cybros Sovereignty. The Fleet would participate in multiple important battles over the course of the war including the Battle of Corvana, Fall of Ra'dam and Battle for Iyo. However during the Siege of Qopra, Commander Thompson would be marked as killed in action after the Federation took Qopra. With this, Captain Aubrey was once more in command of the fleet and joined their allies within the Combine at the climax of the Galactic Conflict at Iyo.

After sucessfully defeat the Sovereignty, with the arrival of the Cybros Dominion most of the First Fleet was destroyed and had planned to return to Ra'dam, but after being notified of Ra'dam's fall, the fleet instead was sent to a random coordinate where they would meet with all remnants of the Federation Navy, Corvanan Combine and their new, shaky alliance with the Cybros Sovereignty. As the fleet grew with fleeing ships, the FNS Serenity would arrive shortly there after Titan Corporation ships would follow it to the fleets and engage them. The battle would be brief, though with many more ships falling victim to the Titan Corporation. Ultimately the First Fleet would flee with its allies while the FNS Serenity covered their retreat.

The Federation First Fleet was to arrive in the Orisa Sector to assist Councilor Vance Thaddeus in his plan to defeat the Dominion, however, they would never arrive to their location on Orisa Daval.

## Legacy

The Federation First Fleet is considered a legendary fleet despite the Ra'dam Federation no longer being around. The deeds of the fleet would change the course of history forever as they protected the Republic of Horizon which would later be a major player in the Colonial Wars and eventually become the next superpower after the Federation in the form of the Unified Governments of the Republic.
