422nd Expeditionary Assault Fleet (Sith Empire)

The 422nd Expeditionary Assault Fleet Is A Collection Of Ships In The Service Of The Empire's Wrath, Darth Destructis, and Scours The Galaxy For New Planets To Seduce Or Subdue, and Find New Resources. It Is Lead By Colonel Halloranna Dorne, When Darth Destructis Is Absent, and Is Mostly Made Up Of Terminus-Class Dreadnoughts, But Does Contain At Least A Dozen Harrower-Class Dreadnoughts. The Flagship Of The 422nd Is The Experimental Ultra Super Harrower-Class Dreadnought, Naga's Sword.

Founding Father
Following The Defeat Of Darth Malgus, Darth Destructis Took Over The Expeditionary Fleet That Malgus Had Commanded, and Expanded It Significantly. Through His Level Of Access and Security Clearance, Destructis Acquired Numerous Assets and Ships Which He Used To Begin Raids Into Both Charted and Uncharted Space. Through These Raids, They Acquired Significant Resources and Slave Labor For The Empire.

Initial Deployments
As A Result Of The Resources Acquired, The Dark Council Saw Fit To Transfer The 422nd To The Direct Command Of Destructis, Instead Of Darth Ravage, Head Of Expansion and Diplomacy. The First Official Deployment Involved The 422nd Travelling To and Subsequently Conquering The Contested World Of Balmorra. After Acquiring Substantial Arms and Supplies From Taking Control Of The Major Balmorran Factories and Systematically Wiping Out The Most Troublesome Resistance Fighters, The 422nd Traveled To The Planet Taris.

Though Taris Was A Half-Destroyed World Of Little Tactical Value, The Local Rakghoul's Were Of Special Interest To The Dark Council Sphere Of Biotic Science, and To Darth Destructis In Particular. The Fleet's Goal Was To Not Only Push The Republic Completely Off The Planet, But To Study and Weaponize The Rakghoul Plague. The Initial Fleet Engagements Were Short and Sweet For The Empire, and The Fleet Landed At Strategically Important Planetary Locations, To Use As Staging Grounds For Taking Over The Planet. Initial Survey Teams Died On The Spot Or Were Infected With The Rakghoul Plague. Due To The Discovery That The Plague Was A Sith Plague By Origin, Both The Sphere's Of Biotic Science and Ancient Sith Knowledge Sent Resources and Scientists To Assist In The Mission. With The Aid Of The Military and Reclamation Service, The Fleet Was Able To Discover The Source Of Rakghoul Plague, The Ancient Sith Lord, Karness Muur, One Of The Original Banished Dark Jedi That Intermarried With The Sith Species.

Because Muur Was A Historically Significant Sith Lord, The Reclamation Service Took Over The Investigation, While The Sphere Of Biotic Science Continued The Fleet's Goal Of Studying and Weaponizing The Rakghoul Plague. With Two Objectives Met Successfully, New Opportunities Were Opened To The 422nd Fleet.

Main Fleet
The Main Fleet is Comprised Of More Than Two Dozen Readily Available Vessels and Three Times As Many Fighters, The Exact Total Of Capital Ships Is Thirty Three Terminus-Class Dreadnoughts, Thirteen Harrower Class Dreadnoughts and Seven Super Harrower-Class Dreadnoughts, and The Flagship Ultra Super Harrower-Class Dreadnought, Naga's Sword.
