New Republic Fifth Fleet

The Fifth Battle Group, or Fifth Fleet, was the first battle group of the New Republic Defense Force comprised entirely of New Class starships. The fleet was commissioned 16 ABY and placed under the command of Etahn A'baht.

The battle group contained 106 starships and was divided into five twenty-one vessel task forces. Each task force included one Nebula-class Star Destroyer or Endurance-class fleet carrier at its point, two Majestic-class heavy cruisers, two Defender-class assault carriers, four Sacheen-class escort frigates and five Warrior-class gunships. It can be assumed that a number of Agave-class pickets and at least two Hajen-class fleet tenders were also assigned to each task force.

The Fifth Battle Group saw heavy action in the Koornacht Cluster following the Yevethan purge, and took losses in the blockade of Doornik-319, and subsequent Battle of N'zoth.
