Task Force Composition

Each Task Force is composed of the following elements:

  • Battleship Squadron: 8 Battleships (TF 20-27 - 4 Battleships)
  • Carrier Squadron: 3-4 Fleet Carriers
  • Scout Squadron: 12 Heavy Frigates
  • Destroyer Squadron: 32 Destroyers
  • Logistics Squadron: 8-12 Replenishment ships. These ships work in relays, hauling supplies to the Task Force from nearby bases.
  • Fuel Squadron: A squadron of large tankers to haul Jump fuel to rendezvous points supporting major jumps.

Notes:

  • Task Force 30, based on a planet with a Class E Starport, has no battleships, and about half the size of the other task forces.
  • Task Forces 20-27 have only four battleships each.
  • Also note that Task Forces 1-7 are equipped with the latest, 320,000 ton Battleships.
