United Empire of Earth Navy – 3rd Expeditionary Command, Outfit of the 108th Battle Group

Terran-based command fleet assigned to rear-echelon humanitarian and logistical support operations.

Home Port: UEE Naval Station, Prime, Terra III



History

Formed in 2954, the 3rd Expeditionary Command was established under Naval Directive 14-92A; originating from the 108th Battle Group via UEE Terra Naval Command.

Its initial mandate was to provide rapid-response and relief operations across the core and transitional systems, supporting colonies and maintaining UEE presence where larger fleets could not remain permanently stationed due to the ongoing Vanduul war.

When the Vanduul war escalated, most major fleets, notably the 2nd and 5th, were reassigned to the front. This left vast regions of UEE-controlled and allied space vulnerable to piracy, instability, and humanitarian crises. In response, the 3rd Expeditionary Command was recommissioned as a mobile humanitarian and security task force, tasked with operating semi-independently beyond traditional fleet command structures.

Since 2954, the 3rd Expeditionary Command has departed from it’s home port at Terra Prime and is now stationed in the Stanton System at New Babbage on MicroTech. Still conducting humanitarian aid, anti-piracy patrols, and inter-faction stabilization missions under the command of Admiral Nullen. The command has earned quiet respect for its discipline, adaptability, and its emphasis on education, mentorship, and the moral duty of service, training new recruits for eventual deployment to the Vanduul front.

Manifesto

Our Purpose

While the great fleets of the Empire wage battle against the Vanduul, we serve those who remain behind; the citizens, traders, settlers, and frontier workers who are the lifeblood of humanity’s expansion.

Our Duty

We pledge ourselves to the preservation of life, the protection of stability, and the advancement of knowledge within UEE space and beyond.
Every recruit we train represents a spark of hope that will one day burn at the front lines.

Our Creed

To Serve: We act in the name of the United Earth Empire Navy.

To Learn: We believe that every engagement, every expedition, every hardship is an opportunity to grow stronger and wiser.

To Protect: We defend those who cannot defend themselves.

To Unite: We embody the spirit of cooperation between Navy and civilian, soldier and scholar, explorer and engineer.

Our Vision

From Terra to Stanton, into Pyro and Nyx the 3rd Expeditionary Command will carry forth the banner of the 108th Battle Group and the UEE not as a symbol of dominance, but of compassion, resolve and stability.

When the call comes to join the fleets at the Vanduul front, our recruits will fly not as novices, but as tested officers forged in service, ready to defend the light they once safeguarded.

Closing Declaration

We are the 3rd Expeditionary Command – The shield of the UEE.

Admiral Nullen, Commanding Officer
