"And we have had no further contact with General Plo Koon. The absence of distress beacons indicates that his fleet was… that his fleet was destroyed, like the others. We are about to prepare a rescue mission."

―General Anakin Skywalker, to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Generals Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda.

Plo Koon's fleet, also known as Plo Koon's armada, was a battle group of the Fourth Fleet under the command of Jedi General Plo Koon early in the Clone Wars. After locating the Separatists' new secret weapon, the heavy cruiser Malevolence, in the Abregado system, Plo Koon led his fleet against the massive vessel. His fleet of three Venator-class Star Destroyers, including his flagship the Triumphant, was hit by an ion cannon followed by turbolaser fire. By the end of the battle, the fleet was annihilated save for one Republic escape pod containing Koon, Clone Commander Wolffe, Clone Sergeant Sinker, and Boost, who were eventually rescued by General Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano.

Sometime after the fleet's destruction, the Malevolence was destroyed in the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula, and Koon was eventually given another armada. Plo Koon's fleet consisted of three Venator-class Star Destroyers, including the flagship, Triumphant.
