Who is the Admiral in command of the Lanth Subsector Fleets?

[Commander Truestar]

Hello All,
Per my data, in the OTU, the 18th Fleet was placed in guard of the Lanth Subsector.
I am trying to confirm that, as fleets are shifted periodically.
But I have not been able to determine which Admiral commands that fleet?

Has anyone happened on Canon data suggesting the names of those Admirals who command the various Imperial Fleets within the Spinward Marches?

Thanks

The map on page 26 of Rebellion puts the 18th in Lanth as of 1116. They're still there in 1202 according to the Regency Combat Vehicle Guide's list of Regency Marine units and what fleet they're attached to. They were in the Marches during the Fifth Frontier War, based on the counters in Fifth Frontier War. The available admirals are discussed in this thread, but as far as I know nothing ties any of them to specific fleets.

CT/Spinward Marches Campaign has Lanth subsector essentially unoccupied by an Imperial Fleet at the outset of the FFW. The 23rd Fleet is in Vilis, and the 213th in Lunion. As the Sword Worlds push into Lanth, SMC has it that Santanocheev sends the Corridor Fleet in as it arrives from deep reserve to hold off a further drive through Lanth (about 160-1108).
SMC says that in late 1108, the Corridor Fleet was transferred to Regina, and the newly formed 100th Fleet took over in Lanth. By 211-1109 the 100th Fleet is said to have pushed the Swordies out of the subsector.
Here are the fleets as at the armistice:

First, thank you!
I had looked for that thread and not found it before I posted

So, from the list, we know where Sector Admiral Santanocheev, Aledon Duke of Regina and Fleet Admiral Elphinstone were
By their titles, we can also write off

01 Sector Admiral Liang
02 Sector Admiral Shumii
03 Sector Admiral Shanashar
04 Sector Admiral Mtume
05 Sector Admiral Goolanzoon

08 Fleet Admiral Asluda
09 Fleet Admiral Djoulikian
10 Fleet Admiral Vasilyev
12 Fleet Admiral Romao
13 Fleet Admiral Stvi
14 Fleet Admiral Gascogne

Agreed
I've scoured over this and other 5FW data over and again, which is the source of my issues with Mongoose-released 5FW books because the dates in those books don't even match from Mongoose book to Mongoose book....much less, match with GDW or DGP data

I have found a site which is 100% "not Canon": https://travelleratlas.tripod.com/Fleets/Imperial/18_Fleet.html

That site suggests the Admiral commanding the 18th is "Adm. Djoulikian"

Comparing that diagram with what's in Rebellion, it looks like the 125th and 151st are pulled back to Deneb (to Dunmag and Antra respectively) after the war, while the 18th, 23rd, 43rd, 73rd, and 207th move to the Marches, presumably to give them one fleet per subsector. The 208th is out in Five Sisters in the exclave near Darrian. The 212th and 193rd are put out on point in Jewell and Vilis, the 23rd goes to Rhylanor, the 213th is in Regina (or in Deneb/Lamas, it's listed twice), and the 100th goes down to Glisten.

That makes sense since those were the subsectors they were assigned to before the war.
It's logical they'd be sent back where they came from after the Corridor fleet muster was no longer needed.
