The First Army, alternatively called Azure Hammer Command or the Coruscant Sector Army, functioned as a Republic and subsequently Imperial Sector Army responsible for the protection of the Coruscant sector.
At the height of its power, this formidable fleet included the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Whelm, accompanied by 57 additional capital ships. Anaxes acted as the fleet's main operational base during the Galactic Civil War. Just like all other forces within Sector Zero, Azure Hammer Command was governed by Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik. After his inability to deal with the menace presented by the Rebel privateer Far Orbit soon after the Battle of Yavin, Teshik lost his position. Despite the Grand Admiral's removal, Anaxes stood strong against the New Republic for a significant number of years. Nevertheless, a few months before the Thrawn Crisis, Admiral Osted Wermis ceded Anaxes, the command's central base, to the New Republic.
