Eleventh Fleet, also known as Core Fleet, was an operational fleet of the Armed Forces of the Galactic Dominion. By 2253 CE, it was under the command of Fleet Admiral Awarnach Stanford from his flagship, the CSV Pandorica. One of the twelve Dominion operational fleets, the Eleventh was formed two years after the Post-Apocalyptic War, and was comprised of elements from the Coalition First Fleet, Rannochian Sixth Fleet and Confederate Tenth Fleet. The fleet was stationed around Argos Rho, earning it the moniker "core fleet" for its position in the heart of Dominion space. The Eleventh Fleet occasionally participated in Operation Silent Zealot, but was largely relegated to internal naval defense, leaving much of its action being reduced to combat exercises and the odd counter-piracy raid. Activated and deactivated countless times throughout its lifespan, Eleventh Fleet saw brief action during the Battle of Feros in 2251 CE. The Eleventh Fleet was preparing to be deactivated again in 2253 CE when the Dominion Civil War broke out. Most of the fleet broke up, either defecting to the Dominion Dissident Front or being recalled to assist in other theaters. What remained stayed under Stanford's command, and would remain as such until the fleet's final surrender at the end of the civil war. With the collapse of the Dominion in mid 2253 CE, the Eleventh Fleet was permanently dissolved.
