Imperial Maritime Division

The aquatic Imperial Navy was part of the Galactic Empire's Military. The Navy fought in the battle for the Montrosa Islands and during the Liberation of Kashyyyk.

History
In 0 ABY, the Imperial Navy fought against Rebel Alliance Military forces in the battle for the Montrosa Islands on the agricultural planet Reytha as part of a force led by Darth Vader. The Navy engaged other Rebel Navy units for control of the Montrosa Ocean and supported the Imperial Army operations in that battle. Years later, after the Battle of Endor, naval units also fought against Wookiee forces while trying to defend communication jammers during the Liberation of Kashyyyk, though the Imperials were ultimately defeated in the battle.

Organization
The Imperial Navy undertook aquatic operations for the Imperial Military. Its bases were constructed by ASP-7 labor droids and utility trawlers gathered resources such as food from aquaharvesters. The Navy used shipyards to construct a fleet of vehicles such as frigates, destroyers, transports, and anti-air destroyers.

Behind the scenes
The aquatic Imperial Navy was first mentioned in the strategy guide for the 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, although was not mentioned by name in the game itself. Players get the opportunity to build Imperial Navy units in one of the Darth Vader campaign missions, and face computer-controlled units in one of the Chewbacca campaign missions. The missions and therefore the Navy appear in the game's 2002 expansion pack, Clone Campaigns. The vehicles may also be constructed in multiplayer matches by Imperial players.
