Eight Fleet



Eight Fleet

One of the earliest Union Fleets, it started out as a mostly Ult unit. The eight is a straight laced standard Number fleet.

The Unit mascot is an eight arm polyp (octopus) named Charlie. In early Union fleet history, Ult ships landed under water,

A  real octopus somehow anciently ended up in a battle ship during a visit on Earth.

The preserved body of Charlie is on display at the Eight Fleet museum on the Units head quarters, Deep -Drift (Planet)
