Most of you know of the
FREDZone Fleet Organization document I pulled out of my ass years ago. While (I like to believe) my ass remains nearly as supple and well-formed nearly these 16 years later, I must in good conscience refrain from engaging in any additional instances of posterior expulsion with this matter of fleet organization.
Basically, I'm asking which star systems in Freespace belonged to Terran territory and which to Vasudan territory as of both 2321 (when the T-V War began) and 2335 (when the T-V War formally ended with the alliance against the Shivans) and whether or not any systems might have changed hands. Granted, this discussion is a matter of pure speculation and can't be considered canon in any case. I also realize that this discussion is complicated by the supposition on my part that FS1 briefings hint that jump nodes weren't originally conceived by V as two-way tunnels, but could be used to jump to any jump node "in range." I base this on Admiral Wolf (Don't ask me why Admiral Wolf's nametag says "Polpolion" because I honestly don't know.) in the
Command Briefing cutscene from FS1 talking about the capture of the Taranis. Note where he says around 0:40 that "we don't know where [the Taranis] will jump to, but there is only one jump node out of Ikeya and we intend to blockade it." This seems to imply that the Ikeya jump node could lead to other destinations besides Ribos in spite of what the FS1 and FS2 jump node maps would indicate.
And while I haven't played through it yet, I recall a mention in Scroll of Antankharzim's first command briefing of Beta Cygni, Betelgeuse, Ribos and Ikeya as systems that were "returned to" Vasudan control through the GTVA treaty structure" (presumably the BETAC treaty?), and wile this isn't Volition canon, I do like the idea of systems changing hands throughout the T-V War.
Anyhoo, here is the list of fleet organization as I've currently written it (I cut out Sol as the Terran 1st Fleet base because obviously with Sol separated from the rest of T-V space, it no longer makes sense for the 1st Fleet to be based there. Also, this list is subject to change, pending suggestions/comments from posters. Note: Any notations with (CONFIRMED) in it means it has a canon reference in FS2. If you find another that isn't mentioned here, feel free to post its reference here.
Fleets of Freespace (non-canon)
Terran Fleets (as of 2367)
1st Fleet: Based at Delta Serpentis (the Terran capital since contact with Earth was lost)
2nd Fleet: Based at Beta Aquilae (this system is the capital of the entire GTVA)
3rd Fleet (CONFIRMED): Based at Capella
4th Fleet (CONFIRMED): Based at Vega
5th Fleet: Based at Ross 128
6th Fleet (CONFIRMED): Based at Epsilon Pegasi
7th Fleet: Based at Polaris
8th Fleet: Based at Regulus
9th Fleet: Based at Sirius
10th Fleet: Based at Laramis
11th Fleet: Based at Luyten 726-8

13th Fleet: Based at Barnard’s Star
Vasudan Battle Groups
1st Battle Group: Aldebaran (it's the Vasudan capital since Vasuda Prime was obliterated)
2nd Battle Group: Vasuda (I considered taking Vasuda off this list, but I recall references to Vasuda Prime shipyards after the planet was glassed by the Lucifer so it makes sense for the Vasudans to want to protect this system)
3rd Battle Group: Altair
4th Battle Group: Ikeya
5th Battle Group: Ribos
6th Battle Group: Adhara
7th Battle Group: Antares
8th Battle Group: Beta Cygni

10th Battle Group: Procyon
11th Battle Group: Alpha Centauri
12th Battle Group: Barnard's Star
13th Battle Group: Deneb
Remember, this is presently a work-in-progress (WIP), so changes are likely pending.
