Battlegroup Marauder

==Introduction==
The UNSC Battlegroup Marauder was a UNSC task force dedicated to rooting out and destroying Covenant remnants in the remains of the UNSC's Outer Colonies. Formed during the Battle of Earth as a task force to relieve the Siege of Europa, after the end of the Human-Covenant War it was retooled. By 2555, it was one of the more powerful UNSC battlegroups in existence, due to the influx of post-war reconstructs of ships and new designs being posted to the squadron for field testing. After eight years of locating and destroying Covenant fiefdoms, the Created Uprising halted its operations, and it was forced into hiding at the ONI Shield World Trevelayn, where it was merged with the UNSC 6th Fleet to augment the planet's defences. It is unknown whether the flotilla will be reformed after the crisis concludes.
