Arcturan Armada

The Arcturan Armada
The main Armada is composed of several fleets, not including the Verkan Fleet or the Dente Fleet. These Fleets are led by the Lords and Archons of the Empire.

Origin
The First Fleet was originally commissioned by the Emperor for the Lord, Deoxul, the fleet was originally intended to be the main offensive force for Arcturus, excluding the Verkan and Dente fleets. Supported by the much later commissioned Second Fleet, the First Fleet would go on to capture and hold many enemy strongholds on the borders of Arcturan Territory. This fleet was for a short time led by Valoryn Sentinel The fleet is currently under the control of Emperor Vesuvius Sentinel as part of the Unary Sovereignty Proclamation.

The Shadow Kempt Prototype was found adrift highly damaged, and with much less strength than the later models. It does not include the cloak, 4 of the Fiend Cannons, and all but one of the Chaos Engines.

Origin
The Second Fleet, was commissioned by the Council of the Lords, for the Lord Deoxul, this fleet would become his secondary, and support fleet for the First Fleet. This however does not mean that it is any less powerful. Ironically this fleet was given a Black Phoenix. Granted by the Emperor for testing purposes it originally became Deoxul's Flagship. Once under Valoryn's control, this fleet was often used for two pronged assaults against planetary forces in conjunction with the First Fleet. Together they became known as the Siege Armada. This fleet is currently under direct command of the Emperor.

Origin
The 3rd Fleet was commissioned for Lord Frictionized, after the Emperor realized his potential as a shadow operative. While this fleet is rather outdated currently, it is still one of the most formidable fleets the Empire controls. Due to this fleet alone more than a hundred star systems have fallen. It is speculated though that this fleet MAY contain a special ship capable of cloaking the entire fleet. As from time to time there are reports of the fleet simply vanishing before enemy reinforcements arrive. Generally the fleet shows up later and has outflanked the enemy by this point in time. This fleet is currently under direct command of the Emperor.

Origin
After the formation of the Third Fleet, a second fleet was commissioned for Frictionized by the Council, as a result this became Frictionized support fleet, and while it is often seen as equal to the Third Fleet, it has many more Kekto Drones than most other fleets. The Council, while seeing Frictionized's potential, never granted him a large amount of ships due to him being so new to the Empire. Due to Frictionized's retirement, this fleet never saw much direct combat action, and it has been significantly reduced in size, as unused ships have been scrapped to support colonial growth on several Empire controlled systems. Given that over twelve thousand fighters and two carriers have been scrapped for this extreme colonial growth project, it was expected that eventually the Fourth fleet would also have many of it's ships scrapped. The remnants of this fleet were controlled by Valoryn, but are currently under the control of the Emperor.

Fifth Fleet
The Fifth Fleet is under direct control of Lord Valoryn Sentinel as per the Emperor's appointment, it serves as a tactical assault fleet. The 5th fleet had been granted full command to Valoryn Sentinel by the Emperor shortly after his reincarnation of power, the Fleet was originally assigned as a scavanging fleet to prove its worth.

With the knowledge Valoryn had during his reign of the Xelian Empire millenia ago, he was able to locate old Xelian Warships that were either lost in battle or abandoned centuries before the Arcturan's rise, he was able to retake control of many of these ships and put them into active service.

Valoryn voiced please with the locating of these ships, stating that they've stood the test of time in comparison to current and past Arcturan ships, and notes similarities in design, however shows displease to Arcturan ships for lack of Xelian-race neural implants and automated crew, and chose to take an Xelian Vindicator as flagship over that of the Nova Ascension.

Soon after the fleets consistent deployment on its scavenging mission, the Emperor noted its many encounters with hostile forces, and later allowed the fleet to repurpose itself into a Power Assault Fleet. The fleet was repurposed with upgraded weapons of both Xelian and Arcturan design, despite Arcturan scientists originally showed displease with Xelian based energy weapons, they were later taught to appreciate and incorporate the designs into future projects.
