The unit is primarily tasked with harassing and disrupting Imperial supply lines, most recently focussing on the Hydian Way.

The current Commander of the Task Force is Commodore Vansen Tyree (of the 103rd), with Captain Yumina Sokai of the 21st as his second-in-command.

History

Notable Vessels

• 3 Capital Starships (> 500m)
• Assorted Frigates and Corvettes
• Assorted Freighters and Transports
• 16 Starfighter Squadrons (+2 Reserve)

103rd Interdictor Squadron

• Horizon - a Victory I-class Star Destroyer that currently serves as the command ship for the 103rd, and of Task Force 75 as a whole; commanded by Commodore Vansen Tyree. She is modified to carry three Starfighter Squadrons (Viper, Raptor, Talon), and five Attack Shuttles (Angel Squadron).

• Intrepid - an EF76 Nebulon-B Escort Frigate, assigned as an Escort for the Horizon. She carries a single squadron of B-Wing Starfighters (Dagger Squadron), and a number of shuttles.

• Odyssey and Phoenix - a pair of CR90 Corvettes, who also form part of the escort group for the Horizon, as well as providing reconnaissance, functioning as a vanguard for the fleet, and providing Blockade Runner support for fighter forces.

• Rising Star - a Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser, that has its cargo capacity split between equipment storage and fighter capacity. It is capable of deploying two Squadrons of reserve fighters to aid in the defense of the Supply Group, and 2,000 tons of cargo.

• Two MC30c Star Frigates are assigned as part of the escort force for Task Force 75 as a whole. Because the defense of the less-armed transport vessels is of a high priority however, they are generally considered to be written off in deployment calculations for combat missions.

• A number of Freighters and Transports complete the 63rd Supply Group, including GR-75 Medium Transports, Action VI Transports, and ships of various other types.

21st Strike Group - "Sokai's Phantoms"

• Challanger - formerly a command ship for the Bothan Defense Force, the Venator-class Star Destroyer was released for use by the Alliance Navy following the Liberation of Bothawui. She is commanded by Captain Yumina Sokai, and functions as the command ship for Sokai's Phantoms. She also carries the bulk of the Task Force's Air Group, although she is equipped to nowhere near full capacity; the remainder of her flight deck is dedicated to cargo storage, helping to reduce the need for cargo and support vessels.

• Avenger - an MC40a Star Cruiser, and the former flagship of the 21st Strike Group, during its deployment at the Battle of Endor, and subsequent service. She carries two Squadrons of Starfighters.

• The remainder of the Strike Group consists of a variety of Freighters, Frigates and Corvettes sourced from the private sector and independent militaries, including - but not limited to - Star Galleons, DP20 Gunships and Interceptor-class Frigates (modified from Action-series Transports).
