Lily Fleet

The Lily Fleet is a collection of four ships located in Urnu-Arrak. The ships were positioned there on January 6th and 7th, 2021, by the Sovereign Aezenfjord Navy during the increased tensions leading to the Great War. The fleet has changed hands many times over the course of its history, but has always been a cohesive unit, never being broken up.

UTES Retribution (C-02-002) is the flagship of the fleet. It is a Sylene-Class Frigate.

History

The ships were originally constructed at the Neurun fleet yards during the partnership between the Escharian Kaiserliche Marine and the Sovereign Aezenfjord Navy. Upon their commissioning, they sailed to Urnu-Arrak, arriving on the 7th of January. After the Great War, the newly formed Soleannen Empire merged its fleets with the SAN and designated Urnu-Arrak as one of its four fleet bases. After the Ascension of Escharia and the collapse of the empire, Lily Fleet, whose crew was mostly made up of Aezenfjord loan officers, came under the authority of the SAN once again. Finally, on March 2nd, 2021, the fleet was transferred to a newly unified Theios-Essukdal as the national fleet of the United Theios-Essukdal Navy (now the Imperial Navy of Yimmu-Audal).

Names for the Fleet

Originally christened the Lily Fleet as the counterpart to the SAN's Rose Fleet, it was translated into German as Lilieflotte under the Kaiserliche Marine. When Aezenfjord and later Theios-Essukdal controlled the fleet, it was renamed back to its original designation.
