Task Force 75

Task Force 75 is a unit of the Rebel Alliance Navy, composed of elements of the 103rd Interdictor Squadron and the 21st Strike Group (aka. Sokai's Phantoms). 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

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 saccrifices her usual troop landing craft in order to carry a total of three Starfighter Squadrons - Viper, Raptor, and Talon. There is also a unit of pilots dedicated to flying shuttles and troop transports: 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.

• 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.

• Support vessels, including the Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser Rising Star and a number of GR-75 Medium Transports are also assigned to TF75 under Commodore Tyree, to help provide adequate cargo capacity for the supplies, munitions and resources required by the Task Force; thus preventing the need for regular resupply missions.

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, MC30c Star Frigates, DP20 Gunships and Interceptor-class Frigates (modified Action-series Transports).
