The Imperial Fleet was composed of commoners making up the enlisted ranks and only nobles reaching the rank of officers, based more on their noble title than their training and actual competence for such role. The early years of the fleet were spent suppressing remnant republican strongholds or planetary rebellions that could endanger the rule of the elite. It first served to enforce the views of the Kaisers and their supporters. Since its foundation the Imperial Fleet was the instrument of the ruling nobles.

The Imperial Armed forces were formed from the Galactic Federation Armada in 310 UC (1 IC / 3110 CE ) by Rudolf von Goldenbaum following his establishment of the Galactic Empire.
