The Sanctum Skyfleet in Final Fantasy XIII is the aerial power and force of the Sanctum. It consists of multiple divisions. The Cavalry is the most autonomous division, working mainly alone on the outskirts of Cocoon dispatching monsters.

The Cavalry has no fixed base, and instead, use their airship, the Lindblum, for their base of operations. The other divisions of the Skyfleet appear to work with PSICOM. The Skyfleet's largest airship, the Palamecia, is used to transport the Primarch.
