History

The fleet's base remained Yamatai, and shared some territory with the Second Standard Fleet but was primarily used for operations that are not standard patrol related. In that thread, Shimizu supplemented her fleet inventory with an influx of variety and updated vessels, ensuring combat versatility for many different operations, while not forgetting the most important responsibility.

However, the Fourth Fleet quickly moved its location when the Bard Cluster fell back into control of the Empire, with the assistance of the 3rd Expeditionary Fleet's Taisho. Shimizu Taisho has established a headquarters at the Taiie Nebula.

Soldiers of the Fourth Standard Fleet commonly are trained thoroughly in the Taisho's renown wartime strategy, formation, and philosophy for command.

Headquarters are based at Taiie, and the temporary command vessel the YSS Nadare.
