At the founding of the United Empire, known as the Iridium Star United Empire in the newly unified Galaxy, the scale of the United Empire Army's fleet was actually not large, even smaller than the fleet of a mid-level civilization. Chancellor Bai Zhongqi did not transfer warships from the original Iridium Star forces to the newly established United Empire Army but instead started building new ships directly.
The United Empire Army's new warships built entirely using Iridium Star's latest technology even incorporated some of Bai Zhongqi's original essence, forming a style distinct in appearance, combat functions, and weaponry from the Iridium Star military.
