GTVA Terran Fleet Organization Notes:

  • 1st Fleet: Based at Sol (Cut off from GTA/GTVA when SD Lucifer exploded)
  • 2nd Fleet: Based at Delta Serpentis (the Terran capital since contact with Earth was lost)
  • 3rd Fleet (CONFIRMED): Based at Capella
  • 4th Fleet (CONFIRMED): Based at Vega
  • 5th Fleet: Based at Beta Aquilae (this system is the capital of the entire GTVA)
  • 6th Fleet (CONFIRMED): Based at Epsilon Pegasi
  • 7th Fleet: Based at Polaris
  • 8th Fleet: Based at Regulus
  • 9th Fleet: Based at Sirius
  • 10th Fleet: Based at Laramis
  • 11th Fleet: Based at Luyten 726-8
  • 12th Fleet (CONFIRMED): Based at Wolf 359 (a @#%$ assignment for Terrans)
  • 13th Fleet: Based at Ross 128 (the REALLY Terran @#%$ assignment)

The 4th Fleet was based at Vega during the Great War and was still based at Vega during FS2 (I found specific in-game references to both), so I’m guessing the Terrans never re-organized the fleet deployments. The Terrans in the GTVA military are no doubt hoping that the 1st Fleet still exists and will rejoin the GTVA once contact is restored. This is why Earth still has the 1st Fleet based there; it’s also a morale issue. Acknowledging the loss of the 1st Fleet (the cream of the crop of the Terran military) would be a huge blow to morale, so it’s fleet designation was never changed. (This is ALL guesswork here, but I think it’s a good guess.)
