Background

Established in 823A.S. after the public release of the Tirpitz, the Balder was the sister ship of the original prototype that was slated for Agency operations. The flotilla is currently the established flagship group of the BDM's naval operations. Consisting of a much larger composition of support ships than most other detachments, its task is to defend the main area within Schatten Research Facility located within Sektor-7 and monitor activity within Frankfurt. If major threats are detected within the area, strike craft and support U-Boats are generally dispatched to tackle targets of varying size. The Battlecruiser may be included within combat operations if the need arises when sizable opposition is faced and heavy fire support is required.

The flotilla has undergone numerous upgrades since its establishment and was involved with the offensive into Thuringia during "The Great Purge" campaign and it was the Balder command ship that took command of the operation with all available BDM flotillas and RM support ships into the system to retake the territory from the infected remnants. The Balder was mostly undamaged due to the protection it had from its supporting flotilla's within the campaign. It hosted the agency-marine offensive planetside to secure the imperial fortress back into the hands of the Republic Agency.

The Flotilla now currently resides within Sektor-7, continually being upgraded and supported to maintain its combat effectiveness.
