TASKFORCE/Old Timeline

**TASKFORCE** is a Galactic Union based independent unit founded under the orders of Fleet Admiral Reginald Williams. The unit's main purpose is to stop threats to the Galaxy without interference by the major powers.

They were founded on the 14th June 2206 by Fleet Admiral Williams, whom had grown suspicious of the Galactic Union's and mainly, SPECOPS' motives. He believed that there are many threats to the Galaxy, but the major powers cannot be trusted to deal with them, therefore a unit funded but independent of the major powers is necessary. After their successful mission to rescue Azaria from the heart of Zultan territory, and their encounters with the darker sides of the Galactic Union, Williams concluded that the crew of the SS Eastwood were the perfect team for this new unit.

TASKFORCE is the unit that the main party of the Convergence RPG belong to.

## Brief

An independent special forces unit funded directly by the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, designed to be wholly independent of the Galactic Union and any other major state. The unit is charged with the elimination of threats to the galaxy and the protection of life.

The Unit has a small command structure, and all members outside of that structure are equal in unofficial rank and structure. The commanding officer of TASKFORCE usually holds the rank of Captain, although due to the unaffiliated status of TASKFORCE this is not a requirement. Supporting the commanding officer is an individual holding the rank of Lieutenant, although again this is not a requirement.

TASKFORCE is at liberty to operate outside the realms of the law should their mission require it, and they are answerable to no-one, although they do confer with the Fleet Admiral as a courtesy. They have the powers of arrest inside the Galactic Union and may act as law enforcement should it be required.

## Missions

### Mission to Malevolence (Operation: LIBERATE)

* **Location**: Malevolence
* **Status**: Success

This mission was not an official TASKFORCE mission, as it took place before the unit was founded. The crew of the SS Eastwood were charged by Fleet Admiral Reginald Williams with the recovery of Azaria from Vos'Volgenbaum, a high security prison on the Zhen'kethi homeworld, Malevolence. They successfully accomplished this and returned Azaria to Earth.

### Malware Assassination (Operation: UPPERCUT)

* **Location**: The Scimitar
* **Status:** Success

The first official TASKFORCE mission. TASKFORCE are charged with the ending of the Red Hand threat through the assassination of its leader, Malware. Without whom, it is believed that the Red Hand will collapse. TASKFORCE will accomplish this by finding a way onto Malware's flagship, *The Scimitar*, and killing him. They successfully tracked Malware down to a remote sector at the end of the galaxy, and boarded his ship. They confronted him as the Scimitar made its way to Calculos. After Petra was forcibly fused with Malware, Kindreth executed him, bringing Malware's plans to an end.

### CARNAGE Investigation (Operation: RETRIBUTION)

* **Location**: *Unknown*
* **Status:** On-going

TASKFORCE are assigned to investigate and take down the organisation known as CARNAGE. Fleet Admiral Williams is under the belief that CARNAGE may be responsible for everything "bad" that has happened in the galaxy recently. He knows that Malware was a member and was taking orders from CARNAGE's leader.
