17TH FLEET
The 17th Fleet was one of the earliest expansion fleets, constituted following the Vong War. Before it could see fleet action, the Trathiran Revolt broke out and the 17th, alongside many Neusattran units, withdrew to orbit around Neusattar and remained there until the end of the conflict.
Depleted by the war, the Kokubusho was forced to rely on these returning units during the Macedonian War, where the 17th was deployed over Pandora where it was crucial in defending the Czernobog Fortress using precision orbital bombardment. Th 17th was held in reserve as a defensive force for the Laptev System, and fought in the Third Battle over Laptev during the Qart-Hadastim War, repulsing a Carthaginian assault on the system. The fleet was not deployed again until the Red Dragon Campaign, combining with several other fleets to besiege and conquer the Red Dragon systems, resulting in the capture of the terrorist leader Joe Blake. The fleet did not see action during the Barlat War, stationed to defend the Laptev System and remaining behind to hold the system when Botas marshalled the fleets for the Battle over Sera. |

Assigned to defensive duties in the Legacy System, the 17th was present during the Battle over Legacy and fought in the centre formation, taking moderate losses. As part of the Botas Reforms of 2486 AT, the 17th was one of the first fleets to receive replenishment in the form of Takeichi class destroyers.
