==The Fleet Splits== | |||
In 93 A.E., [[Maddox Khan]], arguably the most influential Human in that race's history, died, and yet another Human commander rose to power - a woman named Liao Harris. | |||
Resentful of this control and popularity the Human race seemed to enjoy in the Fleet, despite being a small minority, a sizable population of its non-Human members mutinied, led by Harris's second-in-command, a fiery W'hoorn named [[Sere Umox]]. After a brief skirmish, the former Lieutenant Umox took with him nearly half of the fleet's ships and mercenaries. Under [[Sere]] these mutineers became the [[Iron Corsairs]]. | |||
In 210 A.E., the Free Fleet participated in the alliance that defeated the Ishvana's forces during the [[Second War of the Ishvana]]. | |||
In 318 A.E. the Fleet skirmished against the [[Iron Corsairs]] near the [[Carnine Nebula]]. The Fleet won the day and a tentative cease fire was agreed upon. | |||
==The End of the Fleet== | |||
In 422 A.E. the Fleet was hired by [[Temejin Corp]], a [[Shen]] megacorp, to blockade a remote planet under [[Selassian Hierarchy|Selassian]] control. Once the Fleet was on duty and far from a [[Void Gate]], the [[Iron Corsairs]] emerged from a nearby asteroid belt and completely wiped out the Fleet in an overwhelming ambush. | |||
Though there would be mercenary groups in the future to use the name [[Free Fleet]], this was the end of the storied Fleet. | |||
