The Syndicate Reserve Flotilla was a major defence asset for the Syndicate Worlds sitting near the border with the Enigma's.
History[]
Officially, the unit was created, as his name says, to become a reserve against the Alliance, but in fact, it was a precaution against a possible invasion of the Enigmas. The Syndic leaders used it also to exile the annoying officers. The until stayed there for most of the Alliance-Syndicate War, until the Second Battle of Lakota, when most of the Syndic fleet had been destroyed in battles against John Geary's fleet. Then it was pulled to the front lines to deal with the Alliance Fleet. When they were waiting them on the frontier system of Atalia, an Alliance minor fleet, led by Admiral Tagos, arrived and attacked them, despite being outnumbered. The Battle of Atalia was a disaster to the Alliance. After hearing about the hypernet gate of Kalixa's destruction, and the system's devastation, the Reserve leader believed it was the fault of Black Jack's fleet, and decided to take revenge destroying Varandal's gate, trapping the Alliance fleet and devastating that system in reprisal, so they followed the local Alliance attackers to Varandal. There, they suffered another attack led by Admiral Tethys, which was defeated easily, killing him. However, after Black Jack's fleet arrival, the Battle of Varandal wasn't as the syndics expected, and after suffering more than half percent of losses, the Reserve flotilla fled, ignoring than their opponents have almost depleted their energy and were at their mercy. The Flotilla retreated to the Syndic capital on Prime, where, in the Second Battle of Prime, the last remnants of the flotilla were effectively destroyed.
Many survivors from the Reserve Flotilla would be held prisoners at Varandal until a task force from Midway jointly led by Kommodor Marphissa, Colonel Rogero and Captain Bradamont were able to recover them. Some chose to return to their homes, but most of them were brought back to Midway, where they made most of the crew of several of Midway's ships.

- Despite the fact that the Reserve Flotilla hadn't fought in any battle until Varandal, their members considered it an elite fleet, they despised the common mobile units, and those who feel envy to them.
