The 13th Fleet (Japanese: 第13艦隊) was a unit of the Free Planets Alliance navy. Formed shortly after the Battle of Astarte in 796 UC (487 IC / 3596 CE), its command was granted to recently-promoted Rear Admiral Yang Wen-li. The flagship of the 13th Fleet was the Hyperion.

History
Formation
Following the Alliance's devastating defeat at the Battle of Astarte, the 13th fleet was formed out of the survivors of the 2nd, 4th and Fleets, supplemented with new-recruits. Composed of both newly constructed warships and vessles still bearing damage from the Astarte fiasco, the 13th Fleet was only about one-half the typical size of a Free Planets Alliance fleet, numbering only 6,400 vessels and 700,000 personnel at its inception.

Background information
- Yang's command of the 13th Fleet was unusual: despite his promotion to Rear Admiral, FPA Fleets were typically only commanded by officers ranked Vice Admiral or higher. Yang's command was justified with the relatively small size of the fleet, and possibly his status as a 'hero' of the Alliance as well.
