Rumors suggest that the Third Independent Fleet were of a much larger organization. Together now through a shared purpose, they've taken up a new mission:

When talk and diplomacy have failed, and weapons are drawn against truth's seekers, the Third Independent Fleet responds to shield them; those who brave the dark for its mysteries.

These ambitious pilots have now banded together in pride under the banner of the “Third Independent Fleet” and will not tolerate any affront to the truth, nor any attempt to harass those who seek it out.
