HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The First Crusader Fleet was developed as a concept by High Knight Marshal Zovesa. She envisioned the main force of the Imperial Force Corps as a rapid response force. A permanent crusading force that would jump to various war-zones and conflicts to keep order within the worlds of the New Imperial Order. As such she discussed with
Irveric Tavlar
and the NIO Armada Admiralty, the concept of a crusading fleet that could act as a "floating base" for the Force Corps. Thus, the First Crusader Fleet was formed. The First would indeed be the first of its kind, as the Crusader Fleet would become a new Naval Formation that the NIO would deploy to have wider range of naval over watch.
