4月 YE 43
Kyoto, Yamatai-- As originally announced in YE 38, the Star Army is continuing with its fleet consolidation plan, which reduces overhead by merging its smaller fleets into larger, more flexible ones. Last month it disbanded the Ninth Fleet and this month the process continues with the disbanding of the Eighth Fleet. In the monthly press conference, Star Army Taisho Ketsurui Yui told SANDRA that the plan is to merge Eighth Fleet's assets and personnel into Third Fleet, which shares operational territory in the Samurai Sector. Taisho Shizuka Endo will take command of the merged fleet while the old Third Fleet admiral, Taisho Hokusai Akiyo, is expected to retire, along with the Ninth's former admiral, Taisho Suigetsu Kyōku.
The Eighth Standard fleet consists of 298 Imperial Vessels in service to the Star Army of Yamatai. The numbers are a mix of old ships thought to be destroyed after the attack on Aries star-base in YE 29, along side the ships left in the 8th's territory after the initial wave of attacks launched by the NMX at the beginning of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War. The capital ship had served the fleet since YE 26, and was downed and had lost its SS pod, and Taisho permanently. It was repaired, reconstructed and refurbished by the new Taisho, Shizuka Endo in honor of the fleet's lost ones.
