Fourth Fleet, sometimes colloquially called the Home Fleet, was a fleet in the Alliance Navy. By 2183 CE, it was under the command of Fleet Admiral Viktoriya Arefyev from her flagship, the SSV Orizaba. Formed a few months after the First Contact War, the fleet was placed under the command of Viktoriya Arefyev, a competent and well-renowned war hero from the Russian Federation. The fleet was permanently stationed at Earth and operated in the Local Cluster, which earned it the moniker of "home fleet" amongst its members. The fleet performed admirably during the Skyllian Blitz, which was its only notable engagement outside of the Sol system thus far. The Fourth Fleet was present at Earth during the Reaper invasion of Alliance space, where it suffered heavy losses and was reduced to just half of its original strength, but managed to escape with the Fifth Fleet. It would go on to fight in the final battle against Cerberus and the Reapers, but just barely survived, with only 80 vessels of its original 400 left, with its admiral dead and flagship destroyed. Eventually, in 2191 CE, it was renamed Coalition Fourth Fleet.
