The Tenth Standard Fleet of the Star Army of Yamatai was created in YE 32 from remnants of the Elysian Celestial Navy. It was assigned to defend New Elysia. In YE 34, following a disbandment and the merger of most of its forces into other fleets after the war with the NMX, the Tenth Fleet was reorganized in the Yugumo Cluster, and is commanded by chujo mikawa_anna.
It consists of 112 starships and is currently managed by Kokuten.
Bordering the Lorath and settled in the former united_outer_colonies, the primary mission of the Tenth is to stand vigilant against the Lor cluster of stars and to maintain the integrity of the frontier colonies. The smallest fleet in the Star Army, the Tenth takes an often unconventional stance on warfare, employing many subcontractors to secure its space. This, along with the threat of astral force and an extremely flexible deployment rotation, keeps the Tenth on top of its considerably large sphere of influence.
The greatest strength of the Tenth is in avoiding direct engagement. With few local resources and a large percentage of its force consisting of combat assets, the Tenth may be at a disadvantage for being the smallest fleet in Yamatai - but it more than makes up for this in mobility and unconventional warfare.
Notably, the Tenth does not have a significant ground presence. Although its standing militia is 1,300 soldiers average, stationed around a single solitary frontier_starport on Jiyuu V, primarily the Tenth relies on privatized planetary forces to keep the peace on its various planets. When necessary, the Tenth prefers to make targeted assaults on key objectives, turning the enemy's weapons against them where-ever possible.
Following its apparent revulsion towards planetary warfare, the Tenth actively employs several private security and special interest group corporations in patrolling certain systems under its influence. Most notably local origin_industries, saiga_psychogenetics, and nayacesen_industrials assets stand as emergency reserve fleets in the event of invasion or upon special request, making the standing strength of the Tenth deceptive. There have also been Gartagen ships and assets spotted in the region, suggesting possible co-ordination between the two fleets.
At the top of the organizational chain of command are the Admiral and her attending Staff, consisting of the Chief of Staff and the five combat ship captains directly beneath them.

The primary space command station of the Tenth, leo serves as both a base of operations and a home port for most of the ships deployed in the region. Although badly damaged by the fighting in the region during the fall of the united_outer_colonies, it was mostly kept in tact by the united_outer_colonies_peacekeeper_forces under command of mitsuya_ember, then known as Mitsuya Ember. When she surrendered the Peacekeeping Forces to the star_army_of_yamatai, Leo Station, damaged though it was, re-integrated into the force. Its refugees became Yamatai's refugees.
Badly damaged and scarred in the war, and still bearing all the heraldry and marks of its former owners, Leo Station is the Tenth's first bastion of defense - and its most mobile platform for offense.
It moves periodically to maintain the secrecy of its location.
The task_force_lantern is perhaps the smallest, but arguably one of the most colorful units in the Tenth. The Lantern task group maintains a squadron of one super_eikan, two Urufu Class Light Cruisers, and two scout ships of any class. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the "Ryuusei", a group of the Taisho's hand-picked special operations soldiers, who answer directly to taisho morioka_naoko and her aide-de-camp, shosho fujiwara_miu.
The yss_sakishima is a new chiaki_escort_destroyer commissioned and assigned to the Tenth Standard Fleet in early YE35. While possibly the least important ship in the navy she sets forth with her small and unique crew on her first adventures.
