Hi,

I needed some help developing the Imperial Fleets in my campaign to help 
flesh out the TNE history. I've listed some information on fleets. Would 
anyone care to venture what would happen (has happened) to them since the 
Rebellion started (ended)? 

I hope to purchase Batteriders and maybe set up scenarios to 
discover/play out possible outcomes of fleet actions. Also, for the 
Vampire Fleets since the Virus sourcebook is suppose to come out, maybe 
discuss what fleets fell pray to vampireism...

Anyways, here's what I have. I've taken all the information from 
Rebellion Sourcebook and complied it here for ease of discussion. Please 
critique when possible. Thanks!

Fleets of the Imperium (c. 1116)

Fleets aare organized as follows:

Numbered Fleets are composed of squadrons (2-10 squadrons per fleet based 
on its mission). Each squadron is composed of 10-50 ships. Fleets 
therefore may range from 50-200 ships.

Named Fleets are composed of several number fleets and are named after 
the sector they are from.

In some circumstances, fleets are named beased on their mission (eg. 
Lucan's Vengeance Fleet or Dulinor's Loyal Fleet).

There are 2 basic fleet types, ships of the line and reserve fleets. Ships 
of the line are numbered 1-999 (there are approximately 320 numbered 
fleets), reserve fleets are numbered 1001-1999 (there are approximately 
320 fleets). Basically, for every ship of the line fleet, there will be a 
resrve fleet with the same corresponding number except the numbered 
reserve fleet will have 'reserve fleet' after its numerical 
identification (eg. 212th and 1212th reserve fleet both at Regina). For 
simplicity's sake, I have only listed the line fleets (although the 
reserve fleet is at the same location).  

The alpha (although not part of fleet designation) refers to the 
subsector location.

How ships are organized in fleets:

               Named Fleet
               |         |
  Numbered Fleet         Numbered Reserve Fleet
               |         |
Regular Squadron         Colonial Squadron
               |         |
            Ship         Ship


Squadron Types
--------------

BatRons (Battle Squadrons): Main Battleships and Battleriders
CruRons (Cruiser Squadrons): Fleet and Planetary support ships
ScoutRons (Scout Squadrons): Scout vessels
AssaultRons (Assault Squadrons): Troop transports
TankRons (tanker Squadrons): Fleet material support vessels

System Defense Vessels are not considered part of Imperial fleets because 
they are not jump capable and do not play a major role in the Imperial 
Navy. However they do play an important role in system defense and are 
the sole responsibility of the system they are protecting.
