-The Third Fleet of the [[stararmy:start]] is composed of 821 older warships, 100 cargo ships, and around 143,027 personnel (based on starship crew numbers)An additional 220 newer cruisers and battleships were added before the fleet deployed to retake [[system:essia]] in [[timeline:ye_41]]. It is commanded by [[character:hokusai_akiyo]].+The Third Fleet of the [[stararmy:start]] is a veteran warfighting formation that is currently assigned to support dutiesIt is headquartered at [[stararmy:bases:virginia_fleet_depot]] and commanded by [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] [[characters:yamatai:shizuka_endo]]. This fleet primarily works with the [[stararmy:reserve|]], with members of the Reserve often undertaking their yearly training aboard Third Fleet craft. As a reserve unit, most of the Third Fleet's warships perform core system patrol duties, and it is currently undergoing new refits at its two [[stararmy:starship_classes:zodiac-class_star_fortress|Zodiac-class Star Fortresses]] while helping [[stararmy:logistics|]] in peacetime.

-The Third Fleet is largely made up of older legacy warships with designs dating back to the [[stararmy:history:first_mishhuvurthyar_war]]. Since its reactivation, the fleet has usually been relegated to reserve or support duty, but has been pressed into service more often in recent years. +

 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
-The Third Fleet's Infantry Regiments fought in the Chaos Hive War of [[timeline:ye_21]] on the war-torn planet [[:Ayenee]]. During the [[stararmy:history:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]], the Third Fleet was destroyed in battle with the NMX. At that time it was commanded by [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] Anzai Saya. It was reactivated again during the [[stararmy:history:battle_of_yamatai]] in [[timeline:ye_33]] and filled with recently-decommissioned ships that were on-route to [[stararmy:bases:virginia_fleet_depot]] when the battle broke out. [[faction:lorath_matriarchy|Lorath]] civil conflict in [[timeline:ye_39]] resulted in rebel encroachment upon the territory of Yamatian allies in the [[location:kikyo_sector]]'s northeast, and the Third Fleet was sent in as a preventative measure to keep open hostilities from breaking out between the minor powers. Following the [[stararmy:fleets:seventh_fleet]]'s struggle to wrest control of the [[species:separa_shan]] homeworld Essia from the [[faction:kuvexia:interstellar_kingdom_of_kuvexia]], the fleet was bolstered with 220 new ships of the line and ordered in YE 41 to retake the occupied star system alongside the [[stararmy:fleets:ninth_fleet]].+The Third Fleet has a long and storied history stretching back to the foundation of the [[faction:yamatai:grand_star_army]]. During the [[timeline:events:chaos_hive_war]] of [[timeline:ye_21]] the Third's infantry regiments fought on the war-torn planet [[:Ayenee]], marking the fleet's first major engagementAs the [[timeline:events:second_draconian_war]] raged on in [[timeline:ye_24]], with [[stararmy:ranks:chujo]] Zaitsev in command, the fleet was ordered to remain at Ayenee to watch for hostile forces and new aliens.(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/act-ii-cat-and-mouse.11474/|Second Draconian War; Act II: Cat and Mouse]])) 
 + 
 +Before the [[faction:nepleslian_star_empire]] broke away from the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] in [[timeline:YE_28]], the fleet [[species:nepleslian#playing_a_nepleslian|garrisoned]] Nepleslian systems. It participated in the [[timeline:events:first_mishhuvurthyar_war]] and fought at the [[timeline:events:battle_of_nepleslia|Battle of Nepleslia]] in [[timeline:YE_26]], where it was nearly destroyed during the engagement. 
 + 
 +==== Death and Rebirth ==== 
 +During the [[timeline:events:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]], the Third Fleet was destroyed in battle with the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]]. At that time it was commanded by [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] [[characters:yamatai:anzai_saya]]. It was reactivated again before the [[timeline:events:battle_of_yamatai]] in [[timeline:ye_33]] and filled with recently-decommissioned ships that were en route to [[stararmy:bases:virginia_fleet_depot]] when the fight broke out. Following the war, the fleet had no commanding Taisho and was based at Virginia Fleet Depot until [[characters:yamatai:hokusai_akiyo|Hokusai-taisho]] was reassigned from the [[stararmy:fleets:ninth_fleet]] in [[timeline:ye_36]]. 
 + 
 +In [[timeline:ye_39]], a [[faction:lorath|Lorath]] civil conflict resulted in rebel encroachment upon the territory of Yamataian allies in the [[places:kikyo_sector]]'s northeast, and the Third Fleet was sent in as a preventative measure to keep open hostilities from erupting between the minor powers. Its mission was quickly successful with rebel Lorath forces retreating away upon the Third Fleet's arrival. 
 + 
 +==== The Kuvexian War ==== 
 +By the time the [[timeline:events:kuvexian_war]] broke out, the Third Fleet was still composed of its aging collection of old [[stararmy:starship_classes:ayame-class_cruiser|Ayame-class Cruisers]] and [[stararmy:starship_classes:irim_gunship|Irim-class Gunships]], and had been consigned to reserve duties in the aftermath of the Battle of Yamatai. Following the [[stararmy:fleets:seventh_fleet]]'s struggle to wrest control of the [[species:separa_shan]] homeworld [[system:essia|Essia]] from the [[faction:kuvexia:interstellar_kingdom_of_kuvexia]], the Third was bolstered with 220 new ships of the line and ordered(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/deployment-orders-3rd-fleet-9th-fleet.64228/|Deployment Orders: 3rd Fleet, 9th Fleet]])) in [[timeline:ye_41]] to retake the occupied star system alongside the [[stararmy:fleets:ninth_fleet]]. The two fleets performed Operation Sovereign Commitment(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/operation-sovereign-commitment-battle-drive.64343/|Operation Sovereign Commitment] Battle Drive]])) and retook the system's space from the Kuvexians over the course of several hours. 
 + 
 +During the [[timeline:events:kuvexian_invasion_of_ye_41]], the Third initially spread out(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/admirals-only-star-army-command-chatroom.7825/page-4#post-404422|[Admirals Only] Star Army Command Chatroom]])) to secure systems between the [[places:ketsurui_military_sector]] and the [[places:samurai_sector]]. Within days, however, the fleet retreated to the Virgo Defense Sector(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/admirals-only-star-army-command-chatroom.7825/page-4#post-407919|[Admirals Only] Star Army Command Chatroom]])) to fortify the Fleet Depot, Star Army Intelligence, and Star Fortress there. 
 + 
 +Throughout the [[timeline:events:kuvexian_advance_of_ye_42]], the Third Fleet held its lines in the Samurai Sector and did not participate in the subsequent [[timeline:events:third_battle_of_nataria]], having only recently launched a joint Uchuugun-[[stararmy:units:legion_777|Rikugun]] task force to the Kuvexian frontier.(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/third-fleet-moves-into-virgo-launches-kuvexian-expedition.65798/|[SANDRA Report] Third Fleet Moves Into Virgo, Launches Kuvexian Expedition]])) Around this time, [[stararmy:bases:virgo_star_fortress]] was put under Third Fleet administration. Otherwise still recuperating after Operation Sovereign Commitment, Hokusai-taisho focused her fleet with an eye toward modernization and added several [[stararmy:starship_classes:fuji-class_expeditionary_gunship|new]]-pattern [[stararmy:starship_classes:plumeria_gunship_2e|gunship]] squadrons, [[stararmy:starship_classes:chiaki_escort_destroyer_refit|destroyer]] groups, and replaced a handful of cruisers and battleships lost during previous engagements. 
 + 
 +Toward the year's end, [[characters:yamatai:yui|Yui-taisho]] revealed a plan(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/the-opportunity-pre-final-battle.66476/#post-414310|The Opportunity (Pre-Final Battle)]])) to strike at the [[timeline:events:battle_of_glimmergold|heart of Kuvexia]] and ordered the Third Fleet to join her multinational strike group. As part of this force, the Third Fleet fought at the [[timeline:events:battle_of_glimmergold]]. Although originally assigned to act as a rearguard, the Third ended up participating in heavy fighting against their Kuvexian enemies while protecting Essai superweapons so they could do their work to defeat the Interstellar Kingdom. The fleet sustained 36.32 percent unrecoverable combat losses during the battle,(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/star-army-logistics-thread.5406/page-4#post-420573|[SACN] Star Army Logistics Thread]])) which led Hokusai-taisho to formulate a new fleet plan to be implemented after the war's end. 
 + 
 +==== Post-War ==== 
 +After the Kuvexian War's end, the [[stararmy:fleets:eighth_fleet]] was merged into the Third Fleet and [[stararmy:ranks:taisho]] [[characters:yamatai:shizuka_endo]] became its new commander.(([[https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/eighth-fleet-merges-into-third-fleet.67717/|[SANDRA] Eighth Fleet Merges Into Third Fleet]])) Under Endo-taisho, the Third Fleet works very closely with [[stararmy:personnel|Personnel Command]], the [[stararmy:reserve|Reserves]], and assists with [[stararmy:logistics|Logistics]] transport and protection. 
 + 
 +In [[timeline:ye_44]], the Third Fleet participated in humanitarian operations necessitated by the [[timeline:events:arrival_of_the_norians]].
    
-===== Additional Resources ===== +===== Composition ===== 
-  * 10,000 [[corp:emrys:em_j2-1a-saoy]] +The Third Fleet is comprised of 994 warships from two main elements: the core of the Third Fleet as it stood at the end of the Kuvexian War plus additional ships transferred over when the Eighth Fleet was disbanded and merged with the Third in [[timeline:ye_43]]. As of [[timeline:ye_45]], the fleet is undergoing refit and force integration while having reverted to its status the Star Army's reserve fleet. 
-  * 10,000 [[..:equipment:service_android_type_36a_emma]]+ 
 +==== Third Fleet Core ==== 
 +Before the Battle of Glimmergold, about half of the Third Fleet was made up of older warships with designs dating back to the [[timeline:events:first_mishhuvurthyar_war]]. After its reactivation in YE 33, the fleet had usually been relegated to reserve or support duty, but was pressed into active service more often during the Kuvexian War. Modernization efforts starting in 3月 [[timeline:YE_42]] focused on replacing losses of the fleet's legacy vessels with new gunships and destroyers. Approximately 36 percent of the fleet's ships, mostly old Ayame-class Cruisers and Irim-class Gunships, were destroyed at the Battle of Glimmergold.
