History
The Seventh Fleet was assigned to the Free Worlds League region of the Star League prior to the New Vandenberg Uprising, with the Recon and Interdiction Squadrons operating as two-ship formations scattered throughout the Free Worlds while the Line and Escort Squadrons continued to operate as discrete squadron formations. The Seventh Fleet was ordered to deploy into the Magistracy of Canopus following the Periphery Uprising, but the highly distributed nature of the Seventh made it slow to regroup, and as a result it would be almost three months before the Seventh actually arrived in Magistracy space.[1]
In 2765, the Seventh was one of the lightest fleets available to the SLDF. Many of their heavier ships had been reassigned to other fleets to make up losses, and the replacements they received were lighter designs, such as replacing cruisers with destroyers. The dispersed postings of Seventh Fleet allowed it to cover most of its operational area, but there were concerns over the Seventh's ability to support the Tenth Army if problems developed.[3]
In 2770 Janos Grec was appointed as the Commanding Officer of the Seventh Fleet, an old friend of Commanding General Aleksandr Kerensky who had returned to active duty to accompany Kerensky during the Periphery Uprising. Two years later, Grec would be promoted again, taking command of the entire SLDF Navy.[4]
