History[edit]

Star League Era[edit]

The Free Worlds League Navy Fourth Fleet was one of five WarShip formations operated by the FWLN at the height of the Star League era, and as with the other four FWLN fleets, was the designated fleet for one of the five military districts within the Free Worlds League. Operating from its anchorage in the Tamarind system, the Fourth Fleet was responsible for patrolling the border with the Lyran Commonwealth, and a significant amount of the Fourth's efforts went into patrolling the region known as the Bolan Thumb. As with the Second and Third Fleets the Fourth had fought a number of engagements in the decade leading up to 2765, firing on unidentified ships crossing the Free Worlds League's borders on numerous occasions. As with the other FWLN fleets, the destruction of the League-class destroyer FWLS Albert Marik in a brief engagement with a flotilla from the Star League Defense Force Seventh Fleet in the Calloway system in 2763 had had a profound effect on the personnel of the Fourth Fleet, with operations being conducted with textbook precision and response times improving. During this period the Fourth Fleet's home base was the Kanata system.[1]

Composition History[edit]

2765[edit]

The Free Worlds League Navy consisted of five fleet groups, with each fleet assigned to a League military district. Each fleet consisted of four Atreus-class battleships, one Aegis-class heavy cruiser, and two League-class destroyers. Other WarShips, JumpShips, and DropShips were assigned to each fleet as needed.[1]

In 2765 the flagship of the Fourth Fleet was the FWLS Juliano Marik.[1]
