The Second Fleet was a part of the Star League Defense Force Naval Command.[1] Though the Second Fleet was assigned to defend the Terran Hegemony, unlike the First Fleet it wasn't stationed in a single system. Instead, it was released into independent operations and spent most of its time searching various systems (both populated and empty) for threats.[2]

History
The Second Fleet was one of the oldest fleets in the SLDF. They had battle honors reaching back to the Reunification War, including the Siege of New Vandenberg. The Second Fleet wasn't content to bask in past achievements however. They destroyed four Draconis Combine Admiralty WarShips in Operation SMOTHER. During their 2765 deployment, each squadron of the fleet was assigned to reinforce one of the Terran Hegemony's provinces. Second Fleet was homeported at the Titan Yards alongside First Fleet, but also used the facilities available in most Terran Hegemony systems.[2]
The Second Fleet worked closely with the First Fleet, and while the Second Fleet was the smaller of the two, it also formed a part of the Star League Emergency Command Post Network, a network of command vessels intended to take command of the SLDF if communications with Terra were somehow lost. In common with the command vessels within the First Fleet, the command vessels of the two Line Squadrons within the Second Fleet, the SLS New Earth and the SLS Caph, were built to be specialized vessels bristling with intelligence gathering and communications equipment to allow them to function as mobile headquarters. As a result, the two Line Squadrons within the Second Fleet were always deployed within the borders of the Terran Hegemony and always had a senior general or admiral aboard.[1]
During the Periphery Uprising the Second Fleet would give up two of its squadrons to assist with operations within the Periphery, and when the Amaris Civil War began the Second Fleet was badly damaged. The Caph and its commanding officer, Admiral Vincenzo McTiernan, survived the opening stages of the Amaris Civil War and led the surviving elements of the Second Fleet to meet up with those ships from the First Fleet that had survived, subsequently forming a part of the SLDF covert fleet which operated from bases such as Freedom Station.[1]
