New Republic Defense Fleet

Canon Legends version → Linked from 451 articles

The New Republic Defense Fleet, also known as the New Republic Navy, New Republic Starfleet, the New Republic fleet, or the Republican fleet, was the naval branch of the Defense Force of the New Republic.

Formed from the Rebel Alliance Fleet in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor and was first led by Fleet Admiral Gial Ackbar under the title supreme fleet commander. Following the Battle of Endor, the Fleet augmented its size by capturing Imperial vessels, but it was reduced with the Military Disarmament Act after the signing of the Galactic Concordance.

During the rise of the First Order, it was still the largest military force in the galaxy, but nevertheless was a fraction of the size of the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars. A substantial portion of the Starfleet was stationed in the Hosnian system when the system was targeted and destroyed by the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon. Hundreds of cruisers and frigates were destroyed during the attack, crippling the New Republic Defense Forces.
