The 7th Fleet, also known as Thrawn's Fleet, are major antagonists in the Star Wars franchise.
History[]
The 7th Fleet, previously led by Fleet Admiral Sartan, came under the command of Grand Admiral Thrawn around 2 BBY. Arihnda Pryce, the governor of Lothal, sought the fleet's assistance to combat the rebel group, Phoenix Cell.
Thrawn utilized the 7th Fleet to establish a blockade around Lothal, where he operated his TIE Defender factory. He also used the fleet to oust Phoenix Group from Atollon. However, in 1 BBY, during Lothal's Liberation, Ezra Bridger summoned purrgil to crush the fleet. Subsequently, the purrgil made Thrawn's flagship, Chimaera, which had both Bridger and Thrawn aboard, leap into hyperspace.
Organization[]
Fleet composition[]
The 7th Fleet of the Imperial Navy had the Chimaera as its flagship. This fleet included at least nine Imperial I-class Star Destroyers, sixteen Imperial II-class Star Destroyers, and six Victory II-class Star Destroyers. The Harbinger, an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, was once potentially part of the fleet. The fleet also had ten Arquitens-class command cruisers, twelve Gozanti-class cruisers, and four Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. Additionally, the fleet utilized at least two Interdictor-class Star Destroyers, named Konstantine's Interdictor-class Star Destroyer and the Constrainer. During operations on Lothal, the fleet stationed at least five ICM-092792 construction modules in the planet's orbit.
Military Strength[]
During their exile on the planet Peridea, the military forces led by Grand Admiral Thrawn decreased over time. His Stormtroopers, later named Night Troopers, were eventually reduced to a single legion, led by a soldier named Enoch.
