Starfleet Fifth Fleet

The Fifth fleet is a Federation fleet.

Dominion War
The Fifth fleet was under the command of Admiral Victor Harvey at the beginning of the Dominion War in 2373 and was stationed in Sector 432 near the Cardassian border. It was a defensive deployment though the fleet did probe along the Cardassian border. The Dominion soon forced the fleet to retreat further into Federation space. (: "Deployment", "The Front")

Redeployed to the Guyra system the Fifth was joined by Klingon Third Battlegroup for joint operations. Both fleets would take part in the Battle of Guyra in the system. (: "Regression", "Over the Horizon")

The USS Edmund Fitzgerald (NCC-75000), commanded by Captain Robert DeSoto, would become one of the capital ships of the 5th. (: "Wartime Productions")

Before the recapture of Deep Space 9 the fleet was assigned to the Vulcan border where it engaged Dominion and Cardassian forces. (: "Pressure Points")

Operation Return saw an element of the Fifth fleet assigned to Captain Sisko's plan to recapture Deep Space 9. Following the battle the fleet was rotated off the frontlines to replace its losses. (: "Rode the 600")

The fleet included the 59th Tactical Wing, which would be released from the fleet following the recapture of DS9 and formed into Starfleet Taskforce 59. (: "Taskforce 59")

The fifth fleet also included the 10th wing. Captain Richie Kennedy of the USS Baldwin (NCC-2013) was given command of this wing in 2375. Richie's first mission as wing commander was to lead his wing on a mission to retake Betazed. (: "Determined Warrior")
