A force of Starships in both the Hegemony and the Republic is centered around the Task Force concept. A Task force is centered around a Ship of the Line (Carrier, Battleship, or collection of Assault Ships) and features four arms. Each Arm consists of a heavy cruiser, two or three light cruisers, and two destroyer groups. Destroyer groups consist of three Destroyers and six corvettes or gunships (or a mix of the two), as well as any fighters in their direct command.
The Hegemony currently operates nearly a dozen Task Forces.
The Confederation currently operates three Task Forces in the Grey and White Fleets, and the Black Fleet operates one.
Since the Task Force represents a massive amount of ships and firepower, they almost never assemble in a single location and instead operate spread out within a region.
From Task Forces, Task Groups are assembled and are constructed from just about any type and number of starship. Task Groups are created and disbanded upon demand.
