Task Force 42
Task Force 42.jpg


Designation
Task Force 42
Leader(s)
General Dan










The second Task Force of the Fourth Fleet - designated as Task Force 42 - is a military unit structured for the independent operation of various battle groups, each employing a broad variety of battle tactics.

It was established three years after the Battle of Endor, with a mandate to harass, disrupt, and otherwise unbalance Imperial operations and shipping in the southern quadrant of the Mid and Outer Rim Territories. This area of operations is broad, potentially incorporating everything from the Arkanis Sector to Endor, and encompasses several major shipping routes like the Corellian Run, Rimma Trade Route, Hydian Way, and Corellian Trade Route, and major systems and sectors such as Eriadu, Sluis Van, and the Greater Javin.

The Task Force is commended by General Dan, a long-standing veteran of the Rebel Alliance. However, the Task Force rarely operates as a cohesive unit, and each battle group generally operates independently. Commanders of these battle groups include Captains Soto Terius, Dou'lesa Grov, and Rhinn Ikthoos.

421st (Dauntless) Battle Group

General Dan has a large command ship (Dauntless) with a large fighter capacity. He focuses on a mostly open warfare approach and typical naval tactics, using his numerous fighters - as well as his escorts - as part of flanking operations.

Fighters:

422nd (Destiny) Battle Group

See: Destiny Battle Group

Captain Terius has a formation inspired by the hunting strategies of predatory arthropods such as scorpions. He uses two heavy cruisers as "pincers" to flank his opponent and prevent escape, while a fast attack ship acts as the "sting", dealing swift damage to critical areas. Terius is considered somewhat unorthodox in that his command ship (Destiny) is not the largest nor most heavily armed ship in his battle group.

423rd (Nemesis) Battle Group

Captain Grov has a force of fast and powerful ships that are geared towards ambushes and hit-and-run missions. They pursue and chase any survivors, aiming to ensure that word does not get back to Imperial command.

Fighters:

424th (Requiem) Battle Group

Captain Ikthoos also deploys on hit-and-run raiding missions against convoys and small formations, but uses his sizeable fighter compliment to swarm the enemy (using fighters like B-Wings and Y-Wings) rather than engaging ship-to-ship.
