The New Republic Fifth Fleet, originally activated as the Fifth Roving Battle Group and also known as the Fifth Defense Task Force, was the first fleet of the New Republic Defense Fleet comprised entirely of New Class starships. Originally activated as a rapid reaction command, the Fifth Roving Battle Group fought under the command of General Etahn A'baht during the Black Fleet Crisis of 16 ABY, earning itself the nickname "Fighting Fifth" and assignment to full fleet status. By 19 ABY, the Fifth Fleet numbered some five hundred capital ships and thousands of starfighters in five battle groups.

In 28 ABY, the Fifth Fleet was reorganized along with the rest of the New Republic Defense Forces, becoming the Galactic Alliance Fifth Fleet.
