Greeop Defense Force

The Greeop Defense Force (GDF) is a flotilla of vessels charged with the protection of RS space, especially the Greeop Sector but including the Cadrel Expanse and Binaural Sector. The GDF is therefore a subsection of the main RS fleet.

Ships

• Flagship: Victory II-class Star Destroyer Peril
• Support: Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser End of Days
• Support: Strike-class medium cruiser Apostate
• Support: Assassin-class corvette Marauder

Leadership

The Head of the GDF is the RS Fleet Commander, Dave Trebonious-Astoris. His unofficial Deputy is Admiral Rahj Tharen. Logistics Officer David Vaughan provides important advice. The captains of the four vessels of the force also are important figures.

History

The Battle of Blerthmore was the most devastating defeat ever suffered by the RS. The fleet was decimated. Still, RS Command decided to try to strike back at the enemy that had struck them this blow. Within a month of the battle, the RS had formed the Subterrel Strike Force from its remaining ships and dispatched it to the Subterrel Sector to find the enemy. FC Dave Trebonious-Astoris had planned to lead this strike force, but was convinced that the RS home systems needed his presence, especially after the devastating battle. After much deliberation, he decided to remain behind in the Greeop Sector to reassure the worlds in RS space and to try to rebuild the infrastructure of the fleet.

The departure of the Subterrel Strike Force left the FC with very few ships. He had his personal ship, the Peril, which he made his flagship. Unfortunately, it was the largest vessel left in the entire sector. The FC reserved for himself the End of Days, Apostate and Marauder, which had all survived the Battle of Blerthmore. The small flotilla of four ships was christened the Greeop Defense Force, which explained its purpose and goal. Until the Subterrel Strike Force returns to RS space, the FC has only the GDF to assist him in calming fearful populations, rebuilding bases and facilities, and protecting RS worlds from attack by the unscrupulous.
