Task Force Sceptre

Task Force Sceptre consisted of seven Starfleet spaceships:
*F.S.S. Lijang — Changi class heavy cruiser
*F.S.S. Biscay — Biscay class light cruiser
*F.S.S. Hawke — Biscay class light cruiser
*F.S.S. Cumberland — Balmoral class frigate
*F.S.S. Mactan — Balmoral class frigate
*F.S.S. Isaac Asimov — Verne class science vessel
The task force's mission was to sweep the area of space where the Stariionae had been raiding, while broadcasting Star Dancer's "voice" (warp signature) in the hopes of luring the aliens to the fleet, where it was hoped they might attempt to communicate, using a Swiftsure Universal Translator aboard the Asimov.
The Stariionae interpreted the presence of Star's voice to mean she was being held captive... and after they drew careful plans, ambushed the fleet in an attempt to rescue her.
==Destruction of the Task Force==
The majority of the fleet was destroyed by the Stariionae in the Battle of Task Force Sceptre.
:F.S.S. Lijang and F.S.S. Mactan were crippled and suffered heavy casualties.
:F.S.S. Biscay and F.S.S. Hawke were completely destroyed; all hands lost.
