Chapter 25
Timeframe: 2013-2014 (25-26 ABY), concluded.
Jedi Master Horn and Knight Soroc continued to get an eyeful of the AE technology and of the Alterans themselves. Harry allowed them to view a custom designed history and information about the Alteran race and the Avalon Empire, based on a redacted version of what is made available to the public in the AE, excluding certain facts he didn't yet want anyone in this galaxy to know (such as any reference to stargates, worm-holes or using sub-space for travel, drone weapons, ZPMs, other strategic information, the existence of any extra-galactic technologies they didn't already know existed, not even the true age of his people, etc.). The Jedi had a better understanding for Harry's extra-galactic references since they counted forty-three other galaxies in the local group that Harry's public maps indicated his Empire either controlled entirely or had a presence in (but no numbers to indicate number of colonized worlds, populations, or force strengths).
Meanwhile, Harry continued to have his secret military outpost at Triangulo and his new public colony at Callos built up and secured. Along with this he sent orders back to Atlantis to have two ten kilometer diameter cloaked and shielded super-gates constructed that would be assembled and operated adjacent to their two primary Triangulum sub-space beacon and relay stations for mustering ships too and from Triangulum, without relying strictly on ships that had their own worm-hole drives for whatever their transportation needs were, including supplies and trade goods.
They also decided that going forward they would promote Harry's 'cover' from Captain to Admiral. Therefore when it became time to reveal larger groups of capital ships, it would be appear appropriate to all uninitiated ears for Harry to be giving all the orders and receiving all the VIP guests. Therefore, Harry will be referred to as Admiral of the Avalon Empire Fourth Fleet (See A/N's for a breakdown of AE Naval Forces/Fleets).
They had just finished the additional cloaked anchorage around Callos moon and transferred twelve Liberator's [Task Force] TF's 41, 42, and 43 to it under Harry's command; while TF's 44, 45, and 46 remained at Triangulo Anchorage under Hermione's command. When Jedi Master Horn came to inform Harry that the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 had been over-run and taken by the Yuuzhan Vong and forced to retreat.
Harry offered them sanctuary and to build a new Praxeum on Callos. They had plenty of space after all and the AE would be happy to sponsor and protect them. When Master Horn asked how would he protect them, they hadn't seen much military forces from them around.
They had seen up to eighteen Destiny battle-cruisers around but they have no idea what they are really capable of and they looked like average sized cruisers to them. To them, a couple modern ISD1 or ISD2 Star Destroyers in your orbit meant you were protected.
So, Harry said. "Master Horn, swear to me on your honor as a Jedi that what I am about to reveal to you, you will keep secret and only tell other Jedi of rank Master or the head of your order and no one else and require the same oath of them, unless I grant permission."
"Do I have your word?" asked Harry.
"Yes, Emperor Potter. You can trust me. I and the order will keep your secret as long as it does not harm the Republic." answered Master Horn.
"That is good enough." replied Harry.
"Come with me, we'll beam over to one of the battle-cruisers, I want to show you something." said Harry.
They beamed to one of the cruisers (something that while he'd gotten used to it, Master Horn still thought was incredible technology).
"Captain, take us within secure visible range of the anchorage, inside the cloaking field." ordered Harry.
"Yes, sir." the Captain snapped back, glancing a wary eye at the Jedi.
The battle-cruiser entered the perimeter of the field and what came into view floored Master Horn as he witnessed eight twelve-kilometer long behemoth's docked to an enormous space station, that weren't shaped all that differently from an Imperial Star Destroyer but did not have the very tall towers they had. Plus four more of those size ships (Super Star Destroyers?, whatever they were) in various maneuvers around the moon conducting whatever operations they were in the middle of.
One had it's lower hanger bay doors opened and Master Horn was surprised to see some of those Destiny battle-cruisers launch from one of those big ships.
Having finally learned to strengthen his Jedi stoicism every time Harry is about to show him something new he just managed to get out: "Very impressive Emperor Potter. I would say this would do fine. I'm sorry if I appeared to doubt you. If I may, what kind of ships are those?" asked Master Horn (If you want to be reminded of the full Liberator specs., see the A/N of chapter 18, what follows is a summary).
"Those Master Horn, are what we call our Liberator class Carrier-Battleship's. What we consider a dreadnought hull plate. It is twelve kilometers long, five kilometers wide. Without giving away any highly classified information I will tell you a little about them because once you get to see one in action much of this will be revealed anyway. It has very powerful armor, shields, and cloak, transports a division of marines, one thousand four hundred forty fighters, three hundred sixty bombers, and three hundred forty assault shuttles." said Harry.
"The cannon emplacements you see are three hundred heavy plasma beams, which I believe are roughly the equivalent type of weapon as your heavy turbo laser batteries, but I don't know how they match up fire-power wise against each other yet. She has seven hundred and twenty missile launch tubes and we carry a wide variety of advanced missile types. As you can see, she is also a mother-ship, ferrying six of the Destiny class battle-cruisers or other equivalent sized ships. When it's not in combat it can also act as a space station and dock for up to twenty-four Destiny class or equivalent size ships and can perform shipyard maintenance, re-supply, medical, and construction activities." said Harry.
"In addition to that she carries two highly classified weapon systems and a power source that I apologize but we won't be providing any details on most likely ever, although if these Yuuzhan Vong get too close to Callos you might see them demonstrated." said Harry.
"That is incredible. The only warship I've heard of bigger than that is the Executor class Super Star Destroyer (SSD) and there were few of those made, but the type also had a wide range of sizes. I think most SSD's were actually right around the size of the Liberator though. In comparison the SSD had fifteen times the number of cannons you have on that and transported a lot more ground forces, but had a tenth of your number of fighters. It seems they are built for slightly different mission profiles, it would be an interesting match-up. But anyway, when people see this, SSD is what they are going to immediately compare it to." said Master Horn.
"Interesting. I will have to take a look at those some time." replied Harry.
"It's true that our Liberator's are built for space superiority. It's mission isn't landing mass amounts of ground forces because it's job is frankly defense and liberating conquered worlds. It is also capable of creating, building, and constructing friendly colonies and outposts. Not made for conquering per se. If a Liberator has achieved air and space superiority over an enemy planet and has millions of enemy ground forces still to defeat it has other ways of achieving that using other modalities of our matter targeting and transportation technology. We don't like to get our hands dirty if we can help it, and we usually can." said Harry.
"That is certainly a ...unique approach." said Master Horn, trying to form a mental image of how that would go. Continuing his comparison and assessment of what he witnessed:
"The Republic's mainstay for Capital ships is the Imperial Star Destroyer I and II class, which is only one point six kilometers in comparison. The Sabre-class you saw us in before is one of the smallest of the Destroyer classes. The ISD2 has about a third or more of the number of cannons that your Liberator has and not all of those are of the heavy type, and only a twentieth of it's number of fighters. The Mon Calamari Star Cruisers are very nice too." said Master Horn.
"If one were to assume that your weapons and shields and our weapons and shields were pretty much an even match for ours. Which by the way from all you've shown me so far, I doubt we'd even come close. But for simple math we could say that one of your Liberator's without counting it's six battle-cruiser escorts would be matched by maybe four to six ISD2's, let's say five. You have twelve Liberator's here so not including what are likely many other advantages in your tech you have the rough equivalent fleet of say at least sixty ISD2's. I can pretty much assure you that unless Master Skywalker has some political problems with it, I think he would feel quite safe in putting the new Jedi Praxeum under your protection. Thank you Emperor." concluded Master Horn.
...
As expected, Master Skywalker did indeed take the AE up on their offer of sanctuary and a new home for their Praxeum. Thanks to this, Harry finally had a chance to meet with the Jedi Master in person. Before they could get into any of the general items about the Jedi that Harry wanted to eventually talk about they had to spend the first few weeks after the Jedi Fleet arrived with all their people focusing on just designing, building, outfitting the new Praxeum, getting people healed up, taking care of all their people and getting them re-supplied and so forth. It was mostly construction and logistics for the first few weeks. Harry was interested in their Bacta fluid which was capable of rapid tissue regeneration and prevented scar tissue.
Meanwhile, many of the Jedi had to turn around and head back out into the theater of combat. The war wasn't waiting for them to get their new school and sanctuary for their young set up. And their headquarters was still on Coruscant, so many were traveling back and forth between there too. The Jedi were running in many directions at once and Harry just decided to put off his research interests to focus on helping them with their new Praxeum. The New Republic sent Harry an official letter of thanks from Chief of State Fey'lya for their aid and protection of the Jedi.
By Harry's reckoning it looked like they had about one hundred full Jedi Knights, over a dozen Masters, most who were also training young padawans. And a Junior Jedi Academy to house, nurture, and train the young aspirants; including many of the children of the adult Jedi. Master Skywalker had informed him that they had lost about a quarter of their number already due to the war, and he was grateful to the Emperor's help, especially to protect the children who would be the future of the order.
Finally about a month into the Jedi's move to Callos Praxeum, Harry caught Master Skywalker at a relaxed moment. In fact, it was Master Skywalker who initiated the conversation.
"By the way, please call me Luke from now on in private conversation." said Luke.
"Certainly, and please it is just Harry in those times as well." said Harry.
"First allow me again to thank you for all you have done and are doing. I know from the things Leia has told me as well as Master Horn, that you have been very helpful and compassionate to our cause since arriving here." said Luke.
"You're welcome." replied Harry.
"I hesitate to ask for more, but after hearing and seeing the abilities and the skills of your own Imperial Knights, I wondered if you might wish to cross-train with us? Have some of your Knights train with our Knights and vice-versa. Perhaps it would lead to more cross-fertilization of our cultures and we could help each other in some way." said Luke.
"Thank you. In the long term I think that idea has merit. But, there is a concern of mine that I am still trying to study. One that I haven't had the time or opportunity to bring up with you before." said Harry.
"Let's retire to someplace private so that we can discuss it then." suggested Luke.
They went off to a private conference room at the new Praxeum where Harry had been meeting with him.
"What troubles you?" asked Luke.
"Well, I think you must have heard already some of my questions on this that I posed separately to Master Horn and Leia." said Harry.
"I know that it appears in effect that our two orders have some common abilities, and certainly on a tactical level we could train together and learn to fight as effective teams. No concern there. But, I am concerned about these midichlorians. You see, none of our race or any of the other races I know in our home galaxy or the others we are involved in, have these. It appears to be localized to just this galaxy. At least from what I can tell so far." said Harry.
"Really? How strange. Please go on, now I'm intrigued." replied Luke.
"I understand that the way the force works through you is that all life forms in your galaxy possess some number of these microscopic organisms in their cells. And that it's simply those with high enough concentrations of them that can sense and use the force." said Harry.
"But, I'd like to know why. And why only for life in this galaxy? And is it possibly dangerous to expose my people to long-term high concentrations of it? Or any of the other species from my Empire that travel with us? I know that texts describe this organism as symbiotic, but another side of that could be considered parasitic, meaning it must be getting something from the host too or why else would it be there? And maybe whatever that relationship is, it is fine for people who were born in this galaxy, because possibly you all have a favorable genetic mutation that allows that to be safe for you. But might that be different for those of us who don't or who weren't born here." said Harry.
"I see. I guess I can understand your concern. It's not something that we've given any thought to before. As you say, it's as common to our life as water and oxygen so we don't question it. But from an outsiders perspective I can see why there could be a concern. And I do find it interesting from your observations of other species including other humans such as yourselves from all those other galaxies you are involved in that you have not found this anywhere else. I think you would be correct in guessing that were the situation reversed we would've assumed it did exist everywhere else too and question why it doesn't." said Luke.
"In fact our teachings say so. But of course our elders would have known no better, as the inhabitants of our galaxy have always been trapped here for as long as we can remember. Frankly, it is true that we accept many things as universal that we can only know is true for our own galaxy. You know it's interesting that you brought this up. Because we made a similar observation of the Yuuzhan Vong when they started invading us. We cannot sense them in the force. They have no force-presence. And the thing they have in common is that they too originated outside of our galaxy." said Luke.
"Maybe you can only sense others in the force because everyone else in this galaxy has some amount of midichlorians in their cells? Even if its not enough for them to sense and wield it. Perhaps that is why you have that connection to them? Maybe it's the presence of the lower levels of midichlorians in the non-Jedi that allow you to have such an influence over them with your abilities, because your potential and therefore power exceeds theirs?" said Harry.
"It is an interesting question and an interesting observation. A couple thoughts. Please don't mention this concern to any of the other Jedi right now. With all that we are going through with this war, just after having reached a stable state re-building the entire order from scratch since the last war. I don't think we can handle any more reason to doubt ourselves." said Luke.
"Of course. That is why I waited to speak to you in person about it first." said Harry.
"Good. Thank you. If you would, and I think I can tell you are interested. Would you mind then joining us in a joint study of this question? I would brief just two more Jedi to this investigation, our Chief Healer, Master Cilghal, who knows our physiology and the physiology around the force better than anyone; and my wife Mara Jade. Hopefully we can prove it is safe and answer the questions and you could feel safer around it." said Luke.
"I think that is a good idea. My Chief Geneticist is working on some very big projects back home, but I will ask her to assign one of her top people to come join us on Callos and we can open up a classified investigation into this. I am sorry for troubling you with this. It may be no concern at all. But, like you said, it's just our outsiders perspective. When I look at what you are doing, it seems fine for you. I don't mean to imply there is anything at all wrong with any of you, I just want to make sure there isn't something that's different about us that makes it unsafe for us." said Harry, hoping that Luke understood he wasn't trying to insult their abilities or even their race.
"I understand completely. And like you, I'd like to know the answer to the questions too. It never hurts to learn more." said Luke.
"While we're on this enlightening topic. Could you explain more about where your people get your abilities from?" asked Luke.
Then Harry answered explaining the Alteran innate abilities with zpe and how they use it, and how in more primitive cultures in their galaxy some consider it magic because they don't understand the science of it.
"Can you sense me in the force?" asked Harry.
"Ah, I knew we'd get to that question. The answer is No, and Yes. I sense no force-presence from you. However, you present a noticeable presence of power that is unique from other beings. So, because I can sense that through the force, I can tell when one of your race is near. If I didn't know who and what you were, the sensation would seem strange to me, but since I have a reference for it, I just identify the presence as Alteran." answered Luke.
"Leia and Master Horn as well as Knight Soroc, have all shared with me their observations of it. I understand that you can do a wider variety of things with your zpe ability than we can with the force. Such as actually summoning objects from personal pocket dimensions, conjuring items by transmuting the energy to matter, transporting yourself the same way which you call teleporting, turning completely invisible, mentally forming neural connections with your technology, and putting up invisible shields that can protect from energy and projectile fire, and much more. I'm inclined to think it is magic myself. I think you all would make terrific allies and partners with us, if you ever wish to." said Luke.
"Perhaps in the long run that would work out. I hope so. You'll have to understand though that we don't place any reverence or taboos to it. Other than obeying the same laws as anyone else does for how one treats other people and their property and enforcing appropriate behavior that way; we don't require our people to avoid using our abilities. We use them all the time in every day life. You might not have noticed because you've only seen a few of us and mostly our Knights. But, everyone in my race have these same abilities. The only difference is that a certain subset train to be Imperial Knights, serving me personally for security, for special paramilitary operations and special law enforcement duties." explained Harry.
"Well, when the time comes we'll see how we can work around that. We have trained and worked with soldiers and security forces of many species. We can be friends and allies without worshiping at each others temples for lack of a better phrase." said Luke.
Harry just nodded along in agreement.
"Oh, by the way I've been meaning to mention this but I wanted to make sure we got along as friends first because I don't want this to put you off. You might find among many in this galaxy, that just your title Emperor might bring up bad connotations." said Luke.
"You see, with our recent history, many people get jumpy as soon as they see someone calling themselves Emperor and wielding mighty fleets of dreadnoughts. Our galaxy's own Imperial Remnant still exists for instance, with someone there always aspiring to call themselves Emperor and apparently just itching to re-conquer the galaxy again if they only could; and as a consequence they are not beloved at all. Just the name Imperial Knights will likely scare some people." said Luke.
Harry had read versions of this story before but he listened in rapt attention to one who was there and helped lead and fight in the rebellion, to get his personal take on it.
"The original Emperor of the modern age was a Dark Lord of the Sith who usurped power and was brutal and destroyed entire planets, my sister's home-world included. I'm certain it won't be a problem for you among open-minded and well educated people. But many of the ordinary folk may not see the distinction, at least right away. I just wanted to forewarn you that you could have a public relations problem in some quarters from time to time. It's not my place to tell you how to handle it, it's just something I wanted to point out to you so that you wouldn't be blind sided by it. I could get you some holo-recordings of the last hundred years or so of history and you would probably see what I mean." said Luke.
"I would appreciate that. Thanks. I actually believe in democratic processes too. When I formed my government I had to make some choices. Especially in the beginning, taking firm control as only an Emperor could do was the only way to maintain peace and order in my home galaxy among many disparate worlds who had only known warlords for millennia. Since then we've actually had other advanced worlds ask to join us for our protection. Perhaps I will tell you more about it sometime, but it started when I too had to lead a movement to liberate hundreds of enslaved worlds. So, hopefully you will understand that I came to this role out of necessity. We generally operate as a benevolent hegemony though." said Harry.
...
The rest of the year continued with the AE and the Jedi continuing to strengthen themselves at Callos and Triangulo, while Harry and Hermione took some more time to get back home to spend time with the kids and get caught up on other Empire business.
Ayiana assigned Novum Parvati Thomas nee Patil to travel to Callos to be Master Cilghal's partner in their new classified Force Genetics Research Project. That being the case, Harry likewise transferred her husband, Admiral Dean Thomas, to 'officially' take command of the Fourth Fleet in Triangulum. He promised him it wasn't a demotion from being in command of the entire sector back in Avalon. He briefed him on the war he thought they were going to be getting into soon and the charge they've already taken on to protect the Jedi. Harry gave him instructions to begin war-planning scenarios and to become an expert on their intelligence of the force strengths, weaknesses, and tactics of the New Republic and Yuuzhan Vong in preparation for their own entry into the war at some point.
The AE built a nice shared medical facility with a research annex adjacent to the Praxeum, for their joint research. The added benefit was that the Jedi could also now take direct advantage of some of the more advanced medical treatment of the AE; and the AE would start to learn how the Jedi do it, including the use of Bacta that Harry was curious about.
...
Back at home, the Phoenix Dwarf colony was up and running and had made good friends and trading partners with the Kobolian Colonials at Canceron. As it turned out. Even though some of those other human worlds the Colonials passed on their way outbound in their search for Earth were not officially part of their government.
With the help of the AE and their promise of help for all parties, Canceron was gaining more help and allies to their cause of rebuilding. Including some which had at one time gotten their starts as expatriates of the Colonies, decided to send a fair many of their people back to help repopulate Canceron, helping it to grow again with people, culture, labor, and trade goods. This had the added affect of already growing a new colonial reach for Canceron.
This included humans who were formerly of Scorpia on the planet Attila and the human survivors of their conflict with the Cylons on Carillon which had been a resort planet eager to finally get away from the indigenous Ovions that had betrayed them. They were working with the Aeries prison planet Proteus to see if there were any people there that could be rehabilitated into society and thereby Canceron renewed support for Proteus and took responsibility for the prisoners care which had been lost to the war. The Sectar colony of former Colonial Pioneers that call themselves Serenity began slowly working with them. With AE assistance Canceron established a friendly relationship and are on the verge of an alliance with the Western Coalition of Terra, and with their help freed the small Terran colony of Paradeen who was now under Canceron protection.
Canceron was on a collision course for a war of Liberation with the Eastern Alliance, via their new friends in the Western Coalition. But, at this point even though their numbers were small, Canceron still had the technological and military edge. Their aim was to unite as much of the surviving and related human civilizations in the galaxy, and re-build Canceron and a re-established Twelve Colonies as a galactic benevolent hegemony.
...
While Harry was on a bit of break from Triangulum he attended to another of his projects. While Hermione went to check on her old school and spend some time with her parents and the kids, Harry took a brief foray into the SagDIG galaxy which had been discovered to have twenty-seven carbon stars; as well as a rich set of intermediate-age stars and planets that possessed many of the other exotic materials their race depended on, good for colonies and building material stockpiles. Three of these twenty-seven stars were found to produce harvestable amounts of the deubarium element.
Since their supply-chain was working quite well with the resources they had and still had in reserve. Harry decided to dispatch an unmanned Voyager with another HFR duplicate of himself, set up very much like the one he originally dispatched to Sanctuary which was still there caretaking that facility. This one would have a bit of broader scope. First would be to build a refining complex for all three carbon stars, with satellite protection grids and everything just like the first one in the Draco Dwarf. But, in addition to that HFR-Harry-2 would build a colony staffed by ordinary HFR designed to stockpile for the Empire all those finished materials, as well as mine and refine finished materials of all their other key resources, such as trinium, naquadah, and neutronium.
Beside simply not wanting to allow those resources to go to waste and not be exploited, or fall into someone else's hands. He was now wondering if he would be able to stockpile enough deubarium and other exotic materials to begin a commodity trade with them. Longer down the road of course. So, he just initiated this development program to begin the process and returned home. He also wanted to spend more time with his kids.
...
Adam informed Harry that Ayiana requested a meeting to go over some of the results of her research into Novum zpe disorders. Harry followed up immediately.
"Harry thank you for coming to see me. I understand things have been rather exciting for you in the Triangulum galaxy?" said Ayiana.
"You could say that. Would you believe that in the hundred thousand or so years of their isolation their number of species and total population had grown to about ten quadrillion beings?" said Harry.
"It's the biggest discovery not related to pure science that I think our people have made in a very long time. Of course, like many things I have found that my ancestors, your descendants, have meddled there too, so I'm trying to establish a small foothold there and see if I can manage some of the time bombs they left laying around." said Harry.
"Anyway, what have you got for me? Something exciting?" asked Harry.
"Yes. I think so. It certainly has your friend Remus Lupin all excited. I have completely isolated the genes responsible for the werewolf transformation and can suppress it entirely with one vaccination that will rids them of the disease altogether. As for their reproducing, I was able to go so far as to create a version of the same treatment all your Novum take prior to procreation that will remove that from them, making it safe for them to reproduce and not pass it on. So, as long as they meet all the other requirements for that, they will be fine." said Ayiana.
"That's great. Has it been tested yet?" asked Harry.
"Yes. Only on Remus so far and he has completely shown remission from the disease. Now we have to monitor him and others who wish to participate in testing to see if it presents as a permanent cure." said Ayiana.
"That's great. I will go ahead and let Ambassador Creevey know that she can contact her counterparts at the ICW to see if and how they would like to participate in this on behalf of the wizarding world." said Harry.
"Great job Ayiana. Did you say you have something for the vampires too?" said Harry.
"Thanks. I do, but it's not much since it really just does the same thing as killing them in any other way does. I believe it would be possible to create a preventive vaccine that if given to the entire population might very well prevent them from spreading the virus. But, that's about it." said Ayiana.
"From what Remus Lupin and Sirius Black have told me they don't believe there is any chance the wizarding world would institute a global vaccination policy like that, so I put that research on hold." said Ayiana.
"That's probably true. I'll have Ambassador Creevey mention it anyway just in case. Then they can't say we never told them." said Harry.
"Any news on the overall DNA tampering front with our sub-genus and/or the zpe mutated creatures?" asked Harry.
"Yes. But it is inconclusive. I'm not sure we'll ever be able to prove anything for certain. Especially without any pure samples of the sub-genus from before the suspected tampering." said Ayiana.
"But, yes. It appears the hypothesis is correct that there was some additional DNA added to your group's genome in that distant past, which contributed to the mutations that created lycanthropy and vampirism syndromes. As for the other sapient creatures and non-sapient animals, we're still working on that. There are similar markers. But, we've only begun sampling the Ark for that research." said Ayiana.
"Did Sirius and Remus have any luck with the Goblins?" asked Harry.
"They spoke to them about it. They were not convinced that they should allow us to poke around in their genetics, nor were they keen on helping us with the other zpe capable sapients. It seems their mutual distrust for wizards is going to transfer directly to us whether or not we call ourselves wizards." said Ayiana.
"That is too bad. Well, focus on the Ark for now. Then and I will see if I can personally make time in the future through a dose of subterfuge and a measure of intrepidity to influence some opportunities to present themselves." said Harry.
A/N:
-AE Fleet Details (if you care)
As you know, Harry as Emperor, or while playing his cover as an 'Admiral' whatever, can move his flag of 'command' to any ship he wants to, or not, it's entirely up to him. He is in charge no matter where he is standing, let us not forget that.
The current status of AE Capital Ship Fleets (which consist of sub-commands of Task Forces, Task Groups, and Task Units). The high-level numbers are. As of 2014-ABY26, the AE has built 500 Liberator's (480 are in service in Fleets, 20 are in reserve or in duty rotation at any given time). The AE has built (over-built) but none the less has 44,500 Destiny Mk II battle-cruisers.
Note that only 2,880 Destiny's are daughter ships to the Liberator's; the rest form the bulk of standard protected planet defense and patrol assignments reporting to the military governors of each sector (and to reiterate-do not have their own worm-hole drives, therefore they will either use a super-gate or hitch a ride on another ships worm-hole either docked with a Liberator or through the fleet worm-hole that the Leviathan can open).
Alright, so there are 20 fleets outside of the standard planetary defense and patrol task units of the Destiny's that are not assigned to fleets but to planetary sector defense (if you will recall that is currently 3 per task unit-it's a little thinner than that actually because Harry drew down from his over-built supply of Destiny's to fill his Liberator's belly's, he did not build even more just to load them up-therefore he took some from planets who really didn't need as many as they had originally allocated).
Anyway, there are 20 fleets of 24 Liberator Carrier-Battleship dreadnoughts each, with their collective 144 Destiny Mk II's. Organized with 6 Task Forces in each fleet consisting of 4 Liberator's each. Each Task Force consists of 2 Task Groups of 2 Liberator's each. Each [Fleet] Task Unit is 1 Liberator and it's retinue.
These are called and numbered: Avalon Empire First Fleet, Second Fleet, on up to Twentieth Fleet, each with their respective sub-commands as Task Force 10, 11, 12; or for the Second Fleet Task force 20, 21, 22, and so forth. Task Groups as 10.1, 10.2; and Task Units as 10.1.1, 10.1.2, and so forth. Beyond that each individual ship is known as a Task Element, such as , , etc.
I am not going to come up with names for all the ships in the AE Navy. Just like George Lucas didn't for every one of the alleged 25,000 Star Destroyers in Star Wars. And I'm not writing a movie where I want certain ships to become stars in their own right, beloved by fans, so that I can sell merchandise. So, unlike him, I don't see the point of naming many of them at all (and Harry will move from one to the other so often that I'm not going to name just the one's he boards either).
Therefore, for what little it is worth (and not assigning all of them): the AE First Fleet is assigned to Javabli and Atlantis, Capitol Defense. The AE Second Fleet is assigned to Chandilar for Furling Sector Capitol Defense. The AE Third Fleet is assigned to M'Kraan along with 1,000 additional Destiny Mk II's assigned as an additional Nexus Defense Rapid Response Force. The AE Fourth Fleet is the Expeditionary Fleet that Harry is currently leading in Triangulum from his personal flagship Leviathan. The Fifth through Twentieth Fleets are currently out doing their jobs among the other 43 galaxies they control or are active in, with most Fleets operating out of the AE's most populated galaxies and sectors, naturally.
Another interesting note, none of the Knight-Carriers are under Fleet control, they are independent reporting directly to the Emperor, and therefore the 3 that are currently detached to the Leviathan are also not officially part 'of the fleet.' So far they've only built 10 of them and only have enough trained Knights to staff 6 of them. 3 of which are in Triangulum with Harry and the 4th Fleet (as a reminder).
I hope that explained it.
I haven't decided on the ships colors yet. (Nor will I ever, so just stop there... you know who you are).
