ASector Group was a formation of theImperial Navy, and to some extent theImperial Army,[1] defined as the total naval strength available to asector. Command of a Sector Group was delegated to aHigh Admiral. Usually, "high admiral" was a title granted to the sectorMoff; however, in cases where sector naval forces were constantly engaged in high-intensity operations, the high admiral was a separate position to the Moff to allow the latter to concentrate on running the sector without devoting a disproportionate amount of time on naval matters.

History[]

The Sector Group level of organization came about somewhat by accident: the Moffs of the Empire's sectors, installed under theSector Governance Decree in the final days of the Republic, complained that the Imperial Navy's force requirements in quellingSeparatist holdouts routinely robbed their sectors of resources without sufficient consideration for local security needs. Under the Sector Governance Decree, the Moffs held the power of the oldGovernor-Generals to raise forces and began raising their own localmilitias. Alarmed by the prospect of local military forces not loyal toImperial Center, theAdmiralty stepped in and created Sector Groups, local forces directly controlled by the Moffs but carefully scrutinized by Coruscant.[2] In addition, the Sector Group was also created as a means to ensure both the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy could work together on a common goal, due to the jurisdictions under the Old Republic making it impossible for the Republic Army and Navy, respectively, working together.[1]

Organization[]

The early Sector Groups were drawn largely from the oldPlanetary Security Forces,nationalized in the final days of theGalactic Republic. Sector Group HQ included asquadron under the personal command of the Moff, and some Moffs with political connections or proven tactical ability sometimes had more squadrons available to them.

On average, a standard Sector Group was composed of 2,400 ships, of which 24 wereImperial-class star destroyers and an additional 1,600 were smaller warships.[3] The Group's combat elements were split between "Superiority" and "Escort": asuperiority fleet was a space-combat force spearheaded by sixStar Destroyers, each nominally accompanied by abattle squadron of eighteen smaller ships; escort fleets, meanwhile, were composed offorce escorts and were designated for combat against pirates and raiders, which in practice meant that they were the Empire's first line of defense, protecting civilianfreighters, attacking corsairs' hideouts, and guarding remote outposts.[2] Officially, the Sector Group is the largest unit in the Imperial Navy. However, there does exist even larger naval forces to be assembled than Sector Groups known as regional groups or Oversector groups, although these are not considered part of the standardOrder of Battle.[4] The number of ships guardingKuat numbered at least that of a Sector Group.[5]

Additional Sector Group resources outside the combat element included theassault fleet, capable of deploying four entire surfaceArmies; thesupport fleet, used to fulfill the immense logistical requirements of the Sector Group, thedeepdock fleet, which provided repair capability; and thebombard fleet, a rare formation nominally composed of eighteenTorpedo Spheres, used to break downplanetary shields in offensive operations.

In10 ABY,New RepublichistorianArhul Hextrophon recognized that, owing to Sector Group resources likeSuper Star Destroyers and Torpedo Spheres, it had been almost impossible for theRebel Alliance to properly estimate the power of the average Sector Group during theGalactic Civil War. He made this observation in a guest lecture at theBrionelle Memorial Military Academy onChandrila shortly after theBattle of Calamari.[6]
