Overview of the Black Sword Fleet
An SWG Experience Like No Other
The Black Sword Fleet is a volunteer, unofficial Star Wars™ Galaxies community-driven organization made great through the selfless service of upstanding men and women; through their dedication to the Galactic Empire community in the massive online multiplayer game of Star Wars™ Galaxies; and through their pride, purpose and professionalism that comes through in all aspects of what they do. Each and every day our community displays outstanding courage in the Galactic Civil War, dedication to community involvement and creating a remarkable role-playing experience.
The Galactic Empire of Star Wars™ was legitimate government with a powerful Imperial Fleet that became a symbol of distinction, courage and power. The Black Sword Fleet's primary mission is to bring an authentic Galactic Empire experience to Star Wars Galaxies. You can read about our community involvement, see and learn the navy experience, view pictures and video, see historical facts and breaking news, and much more. See who and what the Black Sword Fleet is - and beyond.
Overview of Naval Structure
There are three principle components, or 'oversectors' as we refer them, to the Black Sword Fleet: The Joint Military Establishment, consisting of the Imperial Naval Forces with our gunship and multi-passenger vessels, the Imperial Fighter Corps with its focus on small fighter craft, and the land-based Stormtrooper Corps; the Intergalactic Civilian Authority, including the Politik Korps, Merchant Consortium, and the Entertainer Union; and the Underground Society, with the Dark Jedi Domination, Bounty Hunter Guilds, and the secretive Privatus Syndicate. All three oversectors fall under the command of the Central Committee, a unified command structure with chiefs of the three sectors, operational officers and the Fleet Commander. The head of the Central Committee and the Black Sword Fleet is Grand Admiral Topheth.
The above chart is a graphical demonstration of the organizational structure.
