The Fleet of the Grand Marshal was a breakaway force around a third as large as the Imperial Navy. It served as the invasion force during the Battle of Hoth and the Battles of Yavin during the Grand Marshal's rise to power.

After his self-declaration that he was Galactic Emperor, as opposed to Ysanne Isard, he renamed his fleet the Grand Imperial Fleet of Aden'la Darasuum.

Its primary functions were first to protect his base on Iego, then to invade and overrun Rebel forces on Hoth, Yavin, Anchorhead and to destroy the captured Death Star III, renamed by the Rebels as the Hope Beacon. After that, the ships of the Fleet of Aden'la Darasuum were to orbit those planets and enforce Imperial rule there.

Key ships of the fleet

The Fleet of the Grand Marshal's primary capital ship was the Venator-class Star Destroyer, and the main frigate was the Acclamator assault ship. They were relatively light and fast as opposed to the Imperial-class ships and the Victory-class frigates. Another reason was because the Grand Marshal was short in money, and could not afford a massive fleet, whether by direct purchase from Kuat Drive Yards or bribing Imperial commanders into giving up their ships.

The flagship of the Grand Marshal was a Mandator-class Star Dreadnought, named the Vindicator by the Grand Marshal. This was representative of the great revenge he would unleash on the Rebel cause.

Organization

The Fleet of the Grand Marshal was a mixed-arms navy, showing strength in both capital ships, frigates and starfighters. This was demonstrated by the usage of smaller capital ships, namely the Venator-class and opposed to the Imperial-class star destroyer. His tactic was to form a long line of broadside-firing Venators, and to have the Acclamators fill in gaps in the line, assaulting enemy capital ships and preventing enemy starfighters from attacking the destroyers.
