The Imperial Outer Rim Territories Patrol Fleet represented a fleet of capital ships within the Imperial Navy, tasked with the duty of patrolling the Outer Rim Territories and reacting to any dangers that arose there.
In the initial phases of the Galactic Civil War, specifically before and soon after the Battle of Yavin, the fleet was led by Governor Bane Nothos. This lasted until his capture by the Rebel Alliance, an event that ultimately led to his demise.
