Schatten System Forces

There are a number of Solas Tempus / Serenity Concord forces operating in the Schatten Star System, which has become a major military outpost.

Starships

There are 2 battle groups in the system, which form the Schatten Defense Fleet.

1st Schatten Defense Force

The 1st defense force for the Schatten System is largely made up of the vessels that were already present, which accounts for its non-standard composition. Organized now into a battle group, it has been reinforced with smaller escort vessels to compliment the larger number of frigates in the system already. The group was formed on June 29th, 2381 under orders from Fleet Admiral Poole is preparation for a major reorganization of forces overall. The mandate of this group is to defend the Schatten System against any and all hostile forces, patrolling within the star system.

2nd Schatten Defense Force

The 2nd defense group was made up largely of the leftovers after building the 1st fleet, a total of 8 escorts were added to the sector to reinforce the existing 4 frigates and the new command vessel, to be commanded by Admiral Thomas, the USS Excalibur. This group's task is to reinforce not only the 1st battle group but also patrol the surrounding space, which is one of the reasons it is so much larger than the first. The escort ships are tasked with providing security to trade vessels coming or going, and may not all be in the system at the same time.
