-The Third Fleet of the [[stararmy:start]] is composed of 1093 warships — 520 newer ships, 572 old ships, and one flagship — plus 100 supply transports. It is headquartered at [[stararmy:bases:virginia_fleet_depot]] and commanded by [[characters:yamatai:shizuka_endo]]. It primarily works with the [[stararmy:reserve|]], with members of the Reserve undertaking their yearly training aboard Third Fleet craft. It is technically the reserve fleet for times of warwith most of the craft occupying core system patrol duties, undergoing new refits from [[stararmy:sara|]] and helping with [[stararmy:logistics|]] in peacetime.+The Third Fleet of the [[stararmy:start]] is a veteran warfighting formation that is currently assigned to support duties.

 ===== History ===== ===== History =====
-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 engagement. As 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]]))+The Third Fleet has a long and storied history stretching back to the foundation of the [[faction:yamatai:grand_star_army]].

 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. 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.

 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. 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.

-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 [[faction:yamatai:samurai_sector]].

-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.

 ===== Composition ===== ===== Composition =====
-About half of the Third Fleet is made up of older warships with designs dating back to the [[timeline:events: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. Modernization efforts starting in 3月 [[timeline:YE_42]] have focused on replacing losses of the fleet's legacy vessels with new gunships and destroyers.+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.

 +==== 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.
