- Fleet Name: CBG-04 Designation: Andor
- Classification: Reinforced Sector Fleet
- Operations: Expeditionary
- Affiliation: Galactic Alliance; Galactic Alliance Defense Force
- Fleet Symbol: To Be Added
- Description:
- Headquarters: Nadiri Dockyards
- Ports of Call:
- Goals: Power Projection - Though it is often said the Galactic Alliance posses"s one of the most powerful military organizations in the galaxy, the lack of available dedicated Expeditionary Forces has long been a bane of the premier insinuation. Though military forces such as Battlegroup Kenobi have successfully operated outside the boundaries of Alliance space, most 'hawks' would note this was done through the cooperation of the New Imperial Armada, utilizing allied space in order to resupply and support (often inadvertently) the forces of the Third Sector. The failures of the Ziost Campaign only galvanized further support for what would eventually become Battlegroup Andor, a sector fleet scale war group capable of Projecting Power with, or without allied support.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Reunited, and unified under the leadership of the Galactic Alliance, the worlds of the Core rebuilt. One by one, massive, dormant shipyards were brought back online, military stations armed and staffed, and civil traffic resumed. While peaceful, and often times enthusiastic, the reunification of the Core prepared the new galactic governments for the challenged it would undoubtedly face moving forward. For one, keeping the peace in the governed territories of the Federation would be a nigh impossible task, one with a price tag most politicians wouldn't even consider.
But they did.
The organization of the newly established Galactic Alliance Defense Force was clear, High Admiral's would lead vast Sector Fleets, enforcing the rule of law in space, and for a while this simple and often times easy structure kept the peace, not to mention the earliest of the GADF's Expeditionary forces completed their missions without a hitch. That is until the opening stages of the Third Imperial Civil War.
With the Alliance commited to it's new ally in the New Imperial Order, armies and fleets were deployed from the Third Sector under the command of the former Corellian Admiral Dracken Pryce . Every victory brought with it a terrible cost, and by the end of the first year the Third Fleet had been all but decimated, fighting contuing only by being reinforced by aspects of the First Fleet under Cassius Callaesar. Reorganization was desperately needed, and in the adminstration of Adhira Chandra, it was done.
The Third Fleet and elemnts of the Second would be reformed into Battlegroup Kenobi
