Imperial Fleet Information:

The each Imperial Fleet consists, currently, of four separate battlegroups:
1 Imperial (Or Assault) Battlegroup
1 Invasion Battlegroup
1 Support Group
1 Command Group.

Additionally, each Fleet may be reinforced by
1 - 2 Hunter Batallions.

Hunter Batallions are small frigate flotillas that are meant to fight off pirates, hunt down the Empires' enemies or take care of the enemy starfighters or individual cruisers.

Each battlegroup can operate completely independently of the others, and each has its own Battlegroup Commander. The Command Group is the exception, as this battlegroup has a single Fleet Admiral. The Admiral not only commands his own group, but also the other 3 battlegroups through each battlegroup's own commander.

2 or more fleets make a flotilla, and 4 or more fleets make up an Armada. In the case that several fleets join together to fight, a Supreme Commanding Officer (SCO) will be elected, with the other Admirals in the Command Group acting as sub-officers. If either Alpha -1 or Beta-1 is present, then that group's High Admiral will be, by default, the SCO for the Armada, flotilla or fleet.

If both Alpha-1 or Beta-1 are present in a battle, the Beta-1 High Admiral will have superiority over Alpha-1.

There is a separate, independent branch of the Imperial Navy called the Guardian Navy, which is the elite section of the Imperial Armada. Lead by a single Fleet Admiral, these fleets are completely independent, not even operating under the command of Alpha or Beta -1. The Guardian Fleet components are meant to operate under extreme conditions, and the chain of command is such that any ship, given the right code combination, can command entire fleet movements. This effectively eliminates the "flagship" concept, as even a lowly corvette can eventually lead the armada, even if a ship is overrun with enemies.

All Guardian fleets have an Epsilon designation.

Imperial Battlegroups - Assault Battlegroups

The Imperial Assault Battlegroups are the Empire's pride. Armed with a large variety of ships, they are meant to take on and cripple enemy ships, and lay siege to entire battle stations or planets.

These assault battlegroups are deployed with at least 2 Executor Class Cruisers for use in the heat of the battle, and 10 Imperial Siege Cannons. The Siege Cannons are powerful, but slow, ships that are capable of dealing crippling amounts of firepower in short periods of time, making them deadly to other ships or battle stations. However, due to their bad anti-starfighter capabilities, they often rely on good escorts to protect them from the heat of battle.

The rest of the battlegroup is configured with a wide variety of ships, ranging from battle cruisers to corvettes, in order to allow successive boarding, bombing or destruction of the enemy.



Imperial Support Battlegroups:

Imperial Support Battlegroups serve precisely this function within the Imperial Navy: Supporting key ships, or Assault Battlegroups. Although they are made up of partially forward attacking cruisers (such as Victory Class Star Destroyers) in order to allow them to increase the driving force behind an assault, most of the Support Battlegroup is conformed by escort or defensive cruisers, such as Starblaze Lancers or Nebulon Class frigates. They are meant to strengthen the lines wherever they are weakening


Hunter Batallions

Batallions made up especially to fight off smaller fleets, and pester enemy battle ships. Hunter Batallions are armed with Starblaze Lancers, which are deadly against starfighters, and Carrack Cruisers, which, when grouped together, can take down ships much larger than themselves suffering minimal damage. Added to the mix are several Mk. I Victory Class Star Destroyers capable of taking down anything from a Corvette to other Mk. III Cruisers. This mix, plus the considerable batch of starfighters that comes with it, make the Hunter Batallions fast, flexible and, most of all, deadly.
