• Seventh Fleet Rank Pins

This is the history for the Seventh Fleet:

In YE 26, the newly-constructed Seventh Fleet (a standard Nekovalkyrja fleet) fights in the Battle of Nepleslia. At the end of the battle the fleet was determined to be a total loss.

• The Fleet is finally deployed under the command of Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko with a minimal compliment of vessels leaving production up to Hotaru Star Fortress(NK-S7-01) and Himitsu Star Fortress (NK-S7-02).

• Toushi Starfighter Squadron (7SF-01) is formed and Motoyoshi Misato, Taisa is restored as its commanding officer.

• Fleet is ordered to Great Lighthouse with orders to oversee cleanup of the system as a symbol of good will on behalf of the Yamatai Star Empire to the The Free State.

• Contact with Star Military of the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia vessels in the region requires the fleet to refrain from touching The Free State assets in the system. The fleet begins to look into alternative options to finish mission directives and create a memorial to the The Free State who perished in the Battle of the Great Lighthouse.

• Yuki Toshiro hired to conduct salvage of Sfrarabla Mishhuvurthyar Xhrafuklurp (SMX) and Star Army of Yamatai assets.

• The Fleet moves to Cellondora to finish construction of new ships and to begin planning for its first campaign.

• Kage Yaichiro arrives as new Flag Aide to Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko. Possible romance developing between them.

• Toushi Starfighter Squadron (7SF-01) engages several NMX Battlepods.

• The Fleet's new flagship, the YSS Densetsu completes construction and is inspected by the Taisho and her staff.

• Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko and Flag Aide Taisa Kage Yaichiro begin planning for the liberation of Xylar.

• Kage Yaichiro shows Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko the new Ke-H1-P3300 Type 33 Star Fortress Fold System aboard Hotaru Star Fortress.

• After recovering from a brief moment of emotional weakness, Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko treats Kage Yaichiro to dinner at Kyoto Steakhouse.

• Kage Yaichiro shows Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko various elements of his research at Production Bay Seven, and discusses their function. Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko is impressed and pleased.

• Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko and Kage Yaichiro check into Hotaru Hotels & Suites to relax, where Chujo Motoyoshi-Yamada Ayano is waiting.

• The next morning, Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko conducts a planning session on fleet security against possible Mishhuvurthyar parasites as well as operations at Xylar. Taisa Kage Yaichiro and Shosa Mori, Saku are in attendence and help bring a plan together.

• After a day of preparation, the Yui 7-class Scout YSS Kaeru, the Hayai-Class Gunboat YSS Jikogisei, and a salvaged and repurposed Avenger-Class Carrier in IWL colors are perpared. The Avenger and the hastily assembled and barely operable Jigoseki were not expected to return.

• Kage Yaichiro informs Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko of the Tachibana Incident.

• Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko destroys the secret backup of Shimizu-Motoyoshi Akina (清水本吉明菜)

• Kage Yaichiro has a meeting with Kurosawa Hiroshi-Shôshô, after which an NMX Parasite attack erupts upon Hotaru Star Fortress(NK-S7-01). This removes Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko from command for the duration of this phase of the operation.

• Kage Yaichiro and Mori, Saku obtain new bodies, and board the Hayai-Class Gunboat YSS Jikogisei as Blues Arnoul-Chui and the Avenger-Class Carrier as Captain Bonet respectively. The latter has a synthesized non-NH-series crew, all with a monitoring device in their brains to unknowingly spy on the NMX, even if controlled by parasites. Kurosawa Hiroshi commands the Yui 7-class Scout YSS Kaeru. All three leave the star fortress; the YSS Kaeru and the Avenger-class “IWL Beetle” using volumetrics to appear as a decommissioned Kyoto-class Carrier. They leave the staging area in the Cellondora System.

• The YSS Kaeru arrives first, stealthed and covertly taking sensor readings. The YSS Jikogisei appears in another area venting smoke from its engine, pursued by the IWL Beetle acting as a pursuing force. The Jikogisei uses asteroids to evade the larger ship, stalling its destruction and making things interesting as the Kaeru gets what data it can.

• A captured Star Fortress with an NMX fleet 500 strong emerged from its hiding place Xylar VI. This fleet deployed in the general direction of system, possibly to engage the Seventh Fleet. 50 NMX craft and the Star Fortress remained. The YSS Kaeru silently slips away, to warn the home fleet.

• Kage Yaichiro, as Blues Arnoul-Chui in his new identity, surveys the situation and decides that the NMX have shown their hand and that the original plan to die quietly is no longer prudent. He starts to fight seriously, even managing to get through the Star Fortress’ shields in a risky maneuver that further damages his craft. The IWL Beetle surrenders to the NMX Cruiser Yasian; under the command of the NMX NH-29 Commander, Asuma.

• Kage Yaichiro manages to detonate the YSS Jikogisei and cause damage to the Star Fortress’ Production Bay. He is ejected in the process, but survives due to his wearing of an Star Army Environmental Suit, Type 28 (AMES). He is quickly captured by an NMX Line Battleship. Fortunately, his memories have been locked or altered to prevent the enemy from gaining valuable data.

• The crew of the IWL Beetle, including Mori, Saku as Captain Bonet, are infected with Parasites and start their new mission – to send information unknowingly to the Fleet.

• Kage Yaichiro and Mori, Saku awaken in new bodies, the former upgraded to the Minkan body type with the military-grade packages. In the meantime, Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko had been safely recovered and reassumed command. She oversaw their revival personally. Yaichiro learns that his previous self is still alive and transmitting. His personal beliefs on the matter leave him surprised and concerned, though there is little time to dwell on the matter.

• Itto Hei Chishu Ami arrives at the captured Star Fortress Shogogoth with the stolen datapad, and though her parasite has failed to seize control she devotes herself to Asuma and willingly defects to the NMX.

• Blues Arnoul, now an ST double since Yaichiro has been reanimated, is considered as being Yaichiro by Asuma and NMX forces. Plans to break him are initiated using Ami to appear to his desires. He is initially suspicious, but her lack of parasitic infection proves to negate his defenses to a degree.

• Asuma's superior Angelica, a Nightmare type Mishhu, appears and supports Asuma's plans with Blues with an amendment – that Asuma get pregnant and use the child against Katsuko.

• Asuma accomplishes her task with help from Ami, though she begins to suspect that Blues and Yaichiro are separate people. Still, she does not wish to reveal these suspicions and jeopardize her position. She proceeds as planned, while Blues attempts to get into a position where he can at least provide useful data to the SAoY. Blues and Ami are recommended to comply with her orders.

• Taisa Kage Yaichiro and Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko have a personal discussion while preparing to go over the data recovered by their forces.

During the period where Andrew was away from the site.

• The Seventh Fleet's strategy against NMX forces at Xylar was a success. Information planted by the false IWL Beetle aided the fleet in successfully liberating the Xylar System.
• Angelica escapes at the end of the battle promising she will have her revenge against the fleet and the empire they serve.

• The Fleet was mobilized during the The Northern Colonies Incident between the Empire and the Lorath Matriarchy.

Upon returning to the site Andrew worte a series a short stories to bring the Seventh Fleet back into canon.

• As the NMX strategy in the Second Mishhuvurthyar War began to change and their hold on annexed systems began to lessen. The Fleet was ordered to Darso.
• After successfully removing all Mishhu forces from the system, the fleet locates a beacon from the YSS Yuurei. The beacon, left purposely by Angelica states that she is in possession of the Star Army Intelligence vessel that disappeared in the Bufarks Debris Cloud in YE 30.
• The message also contains a threat from Angelica that states she has the intention to use her Shlarvasseroth-class Flagship to destroy heavily populated systems belonging to the Empire in the same way Taiie was destroyed.

• The fleet returns to Yamatai (Planet) due to Hotaru Star Fortress requiring critical repairs and an overhaul.
• Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko revitalizes the Motoyoshi Clan as a lateral branch of the Ketsurui Clan called the Yamatai no Motoyoshi.
• Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko meets with Ketsurui Yui and it is decided that the fleet will be responsible for removing the Angelica threat and is also given permission to pursue the traitors of the Motoyoshi Clan and the The Akuro III.

• A select few higher ranking officers and enlisted gather aboard the YSS Densetsu for a, less than ordinary, interview conducted by Chujo Motoyoshi Misato. Namely, their task, and thus their only means of passing the interview, is to successfully prepare lunch for their Taisho.
• After her concluded vacation with Senator Fujita Minato, Taisho Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko assigns two former members of the Toushi Starfighter Squadron (7SF-01), Robert Conagher and Amaya Shiori, to be her personal escorts from Nataria Spaceport to the YSS Densetsu.

• Defended Essia in the first battle of Essia.
• Protected the Northern Frontier from Kuvexian attacks from the Nebula.
• Essia Occupation

• Deployed a sensor net that allowed them to have acceptable sensor resolution of the Nebula.
• Distracted the main Kuvexian fleet while other fleets retook Essia.
