Admiral Parnell's Task Force

Fleet Admiral Amos Parnell's task force was the People's Navy's main offensive force prepared for the planned conflict with the Star Kingdom of Manticore. The task force was based at DuQuesne Base in the Barnett System. Due to intelligence information that the RMN forces in the Yeltsin's Star System were weakened, Admiral Parnell decided to attack them out of the escalation schedule performed during Operation Perseus.

Admiral Parnell was almost immeditaly arrested by Cordelia Ransom, Special Undersecretary for Security, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety. ()
