Introduction
The Rebel Squadrons Order of Battle Database is an online database of the frontline ships within the Rebel Squadrons Fleet, as recognized by the Fleet Commander. The Order of Battle is a comprehensive and organized listing of every official ship in the Rebel Squadrons' arsenal, along with specific information on the ship, every ship class, and the RS units that call that ship a home. This differs from the Logisitcs Office's Naval Register in that the Order of Battle covers only active Rebel Squadrons ships whereas the Naval Register covers ALL vessels encountered during the combat history of the Rebel Squadrons Fleet.
Canon Information
Based on information gathered about canon New Republic Defense Fleet battle groups (such as the New Republic Fifth Battle Group) we can infer that each battle group is appriximattely 100 ships in strength, composed of five task forces of approximately 20 ships each. We also know that a starfighter wing contains 3-4 squadrons of apprixmately 12 pilots each.
A common carrier group or task force might have the following configuration:
- One Battlecruiser
- Two Heavy Crusiers
- Two Star Crusiers
- Four Escort Frigates
- Five Gunships
- Six Picket Ships
- Numerous Support Craft
Continuity Issues
Size
There are some major concerns in reguards to the overbloating of the RS Fleet. The Rebel Squadrons is approximately one-fourth (1/4) the size of the New Republic Defense Fleet at our current point in the timeline.
Misnomers
What we generally refer to as a "fleet" would be a task force or carrier group in proper military terms. As a whole, the Rebel Squadrons would be battle group in reference to the New Republic Defense Fleet.
