Overview

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

History

When the Periphery Uprising began the independent Twentieth Fleet was conducting exercises within the Terran Hegemony, complete with observers from the Rim Worlds Republic aboard a number of ships. The Twentieth quickly rearmed and prepared for an operational deployment, but General Aleksandr Kerensky opted to hold Admiral Groll and the Twentieth in reserve. As the conflict in the Periphery escalated the Twentieth moved forward, deploying to bases within the Federated Suns in 2765 in ancitipation of combat operations in the Periphery, but before the go order was given, news of Stefan Amaris' coup reached the SLDF.[1]

Officers

In 2765 the Twentieth Fleet was commanded by Admiral Sebastian Groll from the WarShip SLS Pashupatinath.[1]
