GENERAL INFORMATION
- Fleet Name: Corellian First Fleet
Classification: Roving Fleet/Expeditionary Fleet
Affiliation: Corellian Confederation
Fleet Symbol:
- Soaring Fleet:
- Corellian Cabal:
- Blue Squadron:
Description: The First Fleet was part roving fleet and part expeditionary force. Also known as "The Soaring Fleet", it was dedicated to responding to developing threats on the outskirts of Corellian Confederation space and organized military action in foreign or neutral space. The Soaring Fleet was thus a flexible force, comfortably splitting itself into individual fleets, battlegroups, and task forces designated to complete specific functions, usually to a higher degree of independence than the Home Fleet. Connected to the First Fleet were several carriers and fighter wings operated by Corellian Starfighter Command along with a fleet of support vessels operated by Naval Logistics. Though untested in combat in service to Corellia, its leadership held veterans from nearly every war in the last half-century.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Headquarters: Corellia
- Ports of Call:
Corellia - Centerpoint Shipyards
- Sacorrian Medical Station
- Graland Refueling Platform
Goals: Whatever needs Doing
Reputation: Despite the fleet being untested in real war, their victory in the Battle of Balmorra has given them a modicum of renown within the boarders of Corellian space. The leaders of the "Soaring First Fleet" however are mostly veterans of various conflicts and brought with them a certain level of respect. From survivors of the Sacking of Coruscant to the Battle of Fondor every ship's crew had their story and these stories inspired their men. While the First Fleet generally was well recieved by military leadership and pro-military civilians, many in the Corellian Council from the Dremulae sector and a few Outer Systems worlds saw the First Fleet as a blatant attempt to subjugate worlds against their will and saw the fleet as a threat to Corellia's ideals, likening them to Imperial war fleets hell bent on destroying the liberties of their neighbors.
COMPOSITION INFORMATION
- Fleet Size: Large
- Lead Ship: CDF Fortitude - Resurgent-Class Battlecruiser
- Composition: The Corellian Confederation typically favored flexible fleet formations. Capital ships commonly referred to as Star Destroyers or Star Defenders due to their size were used sparingly and were well supported with many smaller ships, Navy Starfighters, and the elite pilots of the Starfighter Corps. The typical formation of the Corellian Confederation hearkened back to age old naval doctrine which was based around the scarcity of resources. This favored the Confederation's penchant for using fewer, more powerful and balanced ships. A group of three Corellian Star Defenders or capital ships of similar size would be supported by a pair of carrier cruisers or frigates, four escort ships which could vary between cruiser and frigate length, and seven scout or support ships which usually sat around the Corvette size. These "sub-fleets" could be tweaked but generally remained equal in power keeping no individual formation from being too heavy or too light, each being able to respond quickly to threats. This was the general rule, however in some cases the balance of power could be shifted in drastic ways due to the addition of a battlecruiser or the lack of large capital ships as was the case in some minor Starfighter Corps squadrons.
CDF Silver Chariot - CR-37 FarStar-Type Corellian Carrier
- CDF Emerald Sparrow - Billet II-Class Carrier Cruiser
- 87th Fighter Wing [Squadrons 1-6]
Blue Squadron: Blue Squadron was the second squadron of carriers and cruisers under the jurisdiction of Corellian Starfighter Command. Commanded by General Hughes they were a smaller force than the Corellian Cabal and focused more heavily on starfighter support. They often ran recon and escort missions. Of note Blue Squadron commanded:
- 212th Fighter Wing [Blue Squadrons 1-6, for which the entire Sub-Fleet is named]
- 119th fighter Wing [Elite Fighter Wing]
- CDF Corellian Dare - Endurance II-Class Fleet Carrier [Lead Ship of Blue Squadron]
First Logistics and Support Fleet: FLOS for short, the First Logistics and Support Fleet was a "sub-fleet" of tugs, fuel ships, cargo vessels, hospital ships, and repair ships that support the First Fleet. FLOS coordinated logistics for all supported branches in the First Fleet, transporting everything from hyperspace fuel to fresh uniforms and foodstuffs. They communicated with Corellian FLEETCOOM directly and were only under the jurisdiction of Fleet Admiral Hawkins in times of crisis. FLOS was the largest "sub-fleet" by far in the First Fleet and sent detachments along with the various "Sub-fleets", task forces, and Battlegroups to make sure they didn't get stranded without fuel, food, or water. They also coordinated trips to Corellia's medical stations, shore leave transport, redeployment transport, and managed the First Fleet's refueling schedule.
First Fleet's Hawks: A recent addition to the First Fleet, the First Fleet's Hawks were a battlegroup of several new Mk II Starhawks supported by several smaller ships. Pound for pound they were the most powerful sub-fleet of the First Fleet due to their composition of almost exclusively battlecruiser-class vessels they were considered the tip of the spear for the First Fleet. The lead ship's name was The Rocinante.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
After the consolidation and organization of the Home Fleet which focused on the defense of the Corellian Sector, it became clear that the remaining vessels not only needed organization but also a mission. With tensions rising between the Corellian Confederation and several powers in the Core and Colonies it became clear that an expeditionary force was required to keep Corellian boarders safe while also facilitating their slow re-taking of the Corellian Run and Corellian Trade Spine. Thus the First Fleet was organized and compartmentalized for the task of patrolling the two Corellian trade routes and aiding in defense or conquest of hostile worlds. Its first conflict was the Battle of Balmorra where Task Force Starchild defeated a Humbarine incursion on the industrial world of Balmorra.
After the development of the Damocles-Class Star Defender and the passing of the Alliance Defense Enhancement Act, the First Fleet saw its first update in over a decade. However, this update was minimal as the Corellian's Second Fleet, known as Sword Command, saw the bulk of the new vessels. Those older vessels that were replaced in the Second Fleet were passed down to the First, enhancing the fleet's overall size but overall reducing its effectiveness as it soon became apparent that the drastically inflated First Fleet was nearing critical mass. At that point, most of the fleet was mothballed. For example, the entirety of Task Force Starchild was disbanded, with some of its vessels being mothballed and others either sold to other sectors and systems such as Jakku and Botor who had historically little in the way of defense but also benefited from the Alliance Defense Enhancement Act. Some of the First Fleet's vessels were even sold or gifted to the remnants of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet after Csilla and the ravaging of Chiss Space for their resistance efforts.
Where once the Soaring First Fleet gleamed with its new Starhawks and celebrated hero ship the Starchild, now it largely patrolled along the edges of the Corellian Confederation, forgotten and little tested in combat.
