History
Formed in 2200, the Earth Fleet is the youngest service branch in the Earth Armed Forces. For the past decades, it has experienced and took part in countless conflicts across the UW Territory.

Personnel and Equipment
Earth Fleet has a total of 20 trillion active personnel and 4 trillion reserve personnel, one of the smallest service branches of the Earth Armed Forces.

Carrier Strike Groups/Carrier Battle Groups
Earth is the few nations in the UW which operates and maintains a huge fleet of space carriers. Earth currently has a fleet of 80 space carriers (includes ultra carriers, battle carriers etc.) and another 24 under construction. Earth is also one of the few countries to be able to maintain and deploy multiple Carrier Strike Groups (CSG) to disputed regions. Earth Fleet has the capacity to deploy up to 55 space carriers along with their respective escorts within a 4 month's notice while the remainder cannot be deployed as early as they are under refit and refuelling so they have to stay in port. Since Galactic War 1, Earth has maintained a continued carrier presence in the Tripod Galaxy and other parts of the UW Territory.

As of now, Earth has a maximum of 65 Carrier Strike Groups, the remaining carriers are either at port, refueling, refit, or having not enough escort ships for a battle group. Thus, those carriers are mostly based in the Tripod Galaxy and do not leave far away from friendly bases.

Of the 65 Carrier Strike Groups, 10 of them are permanently forward deployed in forward operating bases in frontline GATO nations.
