The First Fleet is the primary Ashderian warfleet, overseen by the Head Navarch, or by the Ashderian Regime's leader.
Description
The First Fleet stands as the Vokyran Ascendancy’s capital fleet. Because of its long-standing institutional history with the Ashderian people, this fleet carries out a ceremonial role except for in times of crisis, or conflict. Serving in this fleet is regarded as an honor, with only the most skilled individuals accepted.
History
The First Fleet traces its origins all the way back to the earliest missions carried out by the Enlightened Ones. The fleet—in one iteration or another—has participated in nearly all major Ashderian-involved conflicts. Most notable in recent times, the fleet joined the Armada of Namine's Fire in their crusades against the Corruption, played a large part in the Crysek Conflict, and participated in the Battle of the Boundary.
Naming
Originally, the Enlightened Ones adopted a utilitarian naming convention for their fleets, which assigned them a number in an ascending order. These numbers were kept in place until the Riviok began assigning newer ones. They decided to keep the First Fleet’s designation, but it gained a new meaning; it represented the elongated service the fleet had with the Ashderians, being the first modern war fleet. The name had evolved into a name of pride and distinction for those who operated within it, and a name of steadfast spirit for all others who hear it evoked.
Trivia
- This was in fact the first post-Imperium fleet.
- The fleet as an institution is older than all post-Imperium Ashderian Governments.
