Organisation: Dai 8 Kantai v1o3b

One of the Imperial planets it occupied was the planet Kleingelt. When the Imperial forces counterattacked after Alliance supply lines were cut, the 8th Fleet was engaged in the Battle of Wansteidt by the Mecklinger Fleet under Vice iral Ernest Mecklinger. The 8th Fleet managed to disengage and evade pursuit only after suffering 30% casualties, being one of only three fleets that managed to escape to the Amritsar Starzone relatively intact.

At the Battle of Amritsar, the 8th Fleet formed the center of the Alliance line. It came under heavy attack by the Yang Wenli. Afterwards, the 8th Fleet was disbanded and its survivors assigned to other Alliance units, notably the Iserlohn Garrison Fleet which became known as the Yang Fleet.
