The Homeland Defense Fleet,[1] also known as the Inner Planetary Defense Fleet,[2] was a fleet of the Greater Garmillan Empire organized under the Central Army. Following the death of Imperial Marshall Herm Zoellik in May 2199,[3] the fleet fell under the control of the Imperial Guard. In June of 2199,[4] Astro Fleet Col. General Domel tried to assemble a fleet to stop the advance of the Earthling space battleship Yamato. However, the bulk of the Astro Fleet had remained stuck outside of the Large Magellanic Cloud in the aftermath of the Battle of Balun, so he was forced to rely on the Homeland Defense Fleet. Due to the Imperial Guard's disdain for Domel, he was granted only a small task force of 4 carriers.[1]
