The Arcona Expeditionary Force, more commonly known as AEF, is Clan Arcona's answer to external threats. It is the first line of defense for the Dajorra System and handles all of the operations Arcona embarks on outside of her home system, most notably with her allied clans of Tarentum and Naga Sadow. The AEF is led by the Commodore who commands the entire group from the Last Light.

History

The AEF was conceived as an exploratory and attack force following the debacle at the Battle of Antei in 27 ABY.

The Expeditionary Force was a trial task force established primarily not to invade, but rather assault. Occupation was never the mission profile intended with the Expeditionary Force, rather ship to ship engagements were expected, or at the very most surgical strikes with her token assignment of ground forces were to be attempted to take out specific targets. In this respect, the Expeditionary force was very much an augmentative force to a large force, such as another Clan’s flotilla.

Organization

The AEF is primarily a single unit capable of successfully engaging Destroyers and coming out on top, however to aid House operations within Arcona, a Bothan Assault Cruiser has been assigned to each of the two Houses and as such it isn’t uncommon for one or both of the two Cruisers to be out on independent operations from time to time. Similarly, to aid in the autonomy of the Consul’s elite battleteam, Soulfire Strike Team, they have been granted the use of the Agave-class Picket as a reconnaissance vessel and mobile HQ for operations that take them far from Dajorra. It is commanded by a Commodore, just as is the case with the DDF, however the Commodore of the AEF is usually an Elder or high level Equite trusted by the clan, i.e. a Consul Emeritus or Arconae.
