The Third Fleet is the protector of this bastion, and recruits come to join its ranks in the defense of newfound independence or vengeance against the various galactic oppressors.

: Admiral HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Formed from the forces that fled Yag'Dhul along with Na-Nihilus Soth, the Confederate Third Fleet was formed for offensive operations to expand the Confederacy by means of military force. Many of the fleets command crew are Givin along with its Admiral and have the stated goal of liberating not only their homeworld but all worlds found within the borders of the original Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Modeled after the fleet commanded by General Grievous well over four thousand years prior, many within the fleet have not forgotten the fall of the old Confederacy and the subjugation of the Givin people by the Empire and the various other galactic governments that followed. Though Yag'Dhul now lay within the bounds of the Galatic Alliance, the officers loyal to Soth view the Alliance as little more than the continuation of the same government the Givin battled in the Clone Wars. This schism has led to the Third Fleet being heavily modeled on the operating practices of the old Confederacy with the bulk of manual tasks aboard the fleets ships being handled by a variety of droids while the command staff remains organic.
Now equipped with the latest ships the Confederacy has to offer, the third Fleet sets out on patrol duty until the call for Confederate expansion is made and, inevitably, the liberation of Yag'Dhul and a victory in an ancient war.
