The Arcona Expeditionary Force, more commonly known as the AEF, is Clan Arcona's answer to external threats. It is also 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 Clan, Tarentum, and in service of the Iron Throne. The AEF is led by a Commodore who commands the entire group from the Invicta. The AEF was dissolved in 36 ABY in favour of a new fleet layout by Consul Wuntila Arconae, but in 38 ABY, it was reinstated by Consul Marick Arconae. Currently, the AEF is commanded by Commodore Krox Noctem.

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.

Over time, however, the AEF developed into a full-blown invasionary force. The addition of the ACC Shadehammer provided the Clan with a valuable troop transport, and in 38 ABY, the addition of the NSD Encanis enhanced the force's effectiveness. It was briefly disbanded in 36 ABY, but Consul Marick Arconae restored both the AEF and its complementary fleet, the Dajorra Defence Force (DDF).

Organization

The AEF functions primarily as a single force, although occasionally the House flagships, the BAC Shadow and BAC Darkest Night, are sent out on their own missions (often with support craft). The AGV Valour's Fall has also been given to Soulfire Strike Team for its operations. The Commodore who commands the AEF is frequently a high-ranking officer drawn from the Arcona Navy Corps, and sits on the Consul's Executive Council, which oversees the entire AAF. The Commodore is subject only to the commands of the Consul and Proconsul.
