Scourge Squadron
Scourge Squadron was an elite unit of the Imperial Navy similar in composition and role to that of Death Squadron.
Description
Scourge Squadron was a task force of 24 Imperial-class Star Destroyers led by the Star Dreadnought Reaper.[1]
History
As part of the Outer Rim Imperial Fleet, Scourge Squadron came under the command of Grand Moff Ardus Kaine when he was promoted to take over Oversector Outer as a replacement to Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin.[1] Scourge Squadron's primary mission was to hunt down Rebel activity in the Outer Rim Territories.[2]
Later on, when Grand Moff Kaine turned warlord, he ordered Scourge Squadron to regroup in the New Territories.[1] The fleet eventually served as the primary military muscle behind his Pentastar Alignment.[2] The disappareance of Scourge Squadron in Oversector Outer contributed to the quick progression of the New Republic fleet after the Battle of Endor.[1]
