-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 war, with most of the craft occupying core system patrol duties, undergoing new refits from [[stararmy:sara|]] and helping with [[stararmy:logistics|]] in peacetime.

 +===== 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]])). 
 +
 +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.
 +
 +After the reorganisation following the [[timeline:events:kuvexian_war|]], Third Fleet works very closely with [[stararmy:personnel|]] and [[stararmy:reserve|]]. It works closely to help [[stararmy:logistics]] as well.
 +
 +==== 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 [[faction:yamatai: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.
 +
 +==== 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.
 +

 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. About half of the Third Fleet is made up of older warships with designs dating back to the [[timeline:events:first_mishhuvurthyar_war]].
