The First Shebi Fleet is the first military fleet of [[House Shebi]]. This fleet is loyal to House Shebi, with all commisioned officers selected from House Shebi, or noble houses loyal to the great house.

The first Shebi fleet adheres to the basic principle of most veolian armed forces: large numbers of weak vessels are deployed as a first wave of attack, als known as the vanguard, with a second wave of highly advanced vessels, called the advance, for conclusion of the battle. As is traditional, all hemet personell is located in the second wave of vessels.

The fleet's vanguard consists of 6 battle groups, 12 assault groups and 12 fire support squadrons. The fleet's advance consists of 6 carrier battle groups, 3 artillery support groups and 6 auxilliary squadrons.

The first Shebi fleet is commanded by fleet admiral Shebi Naupaat, leading from his carrier //Invincible Fury of the Dawn//. In defiance of normal tradition, his wife Shebi Jharanā commands the vanguard from her battlecruiser //Cascade of Cutting Terror//.

The first carrier battlegroup is built around the //Ready in Eight Directions//, its two cruiser escorts are //Persistent Hornet// and //Thoughtful Gift//. The carrier carries eight wings of advanced fighters, each wing is named after a direction: //Left Wing//, //Right Wing//, //Up Wing//, //Down Wing//, //Fore Wing//, //Back Wing//, //Ana Wing//, //Kata Wing//. The group is further complemented with a wing of combat repair and salvage vessels called //Craftsman Needs no Tools//, normally shortened to just 'Craftsman'.
