Overview

The Eleventh Fleet was a part of the Star League Defense Force Naval Command.[1]

History

The Eleventh Fleet was assigned to the Taurian Concordat prior to the New Vandenberg Uprising, and took damage during the initial stages of the Periphery Uprising; the most significant loss inflicted on the Eleventh was the loss of the Texas-class SLS Nebraska, flagship of Admiral Lewis Manseur, to a fuel ship which had been compromised by rebels from the Concordat. Fortunately, Admiral Manseur wasn't aboard the Nebraska at the time, and continued to command the Eleventh after transferring his flag to the Black Lion-class SLS Talitha Flyer, but the loss of the Nebraska was a psychological blow to the entire SLDF at the time. The Eleventh Fleet was lucky to avoid losing a second ship in the same incident; the SLS Cairo took heavy damage from debris generated during the destruction of the Nebraska, but managed to not only limp clear of the scene but also continue fighting.[1]

Officers

In 2765 the Eleventh Fleet was commanded by Admiral Lewis Manseur from the WarShip SLS Nebraska.[1]
