X Fleet

X FLEET

Officially it is the development and research division of the Fleet, its true purpose is rumored and an open secret. However no outsider knows any of the real secrets.

Every Union Citizen, every Star man and every marine knows a story, a rumor and every government conspiracy theory is linked with the X Fleet (and the Information Officers of the X Fleet Division do everything to feed and increase these rumors.)
