imperial fleet
Sovereign's naval force
An imperial fleet is the naval or space military force of an empire.
Historically, this meant warships under imperial command: The Spanish imperial fleet dominated the Atlantic.
In science fiction, particularly Star Wars, the Imperial Fleet refers to the massive starship armada of the Galactic Empire.
The phrase evokes overwhelming military power projection across vast territories.
