Subterrel Strike Force

The Subterrel Strike Force (SSF) is the mobile force created in response to the Imperial assault of the Battle of Blerthmore. It is primarily a strike group of vessels that are charged with the task of hunting down Imperial forces in the Subterrel Sector and defeating them, to ensure that such devastation as suffered at Blerthmore will never happen again. The SSF is therefore a subsection of the main RS fleet, operating beyond the normal RS range of operations. The Vigilance Starfighter Group are assigned to the three greatest vessels in the strike force, and the elite ground forces of the Commando Division are based on the Redemption.

History

The Battle of Blerthmore was the most devastating defeat ever suffered by the RS. The task force's fleet was decimated. Despite this, and in response to this, 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 repaired the ships that it could afford to repair and grouped them together into a new task group christened the Subterrel Strike Force. RS Intel had discovered that the Imperial attackers from Blerthmore had originated from the Subterrel Sector, and had returned there after abruptly withdrawing from the battle. The SSF was therefore dispatched to find the Imperials, take revenge upon them, and find out what they were doing in Subterrel in the first place. 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. Therefore RSXO Michael Raven was selected to lead the SSF.

The SSF departed RS space on 44:3:13. It is currently in the Subterrel Sector, scouting out the area.
