Sixteenth Tactical Recon Group

The 16th Tactical Reconnaissance Group was a section of the Fifth Battle Group of the New Republic Defense Fleet during the Black Fleet Crisis.

When the New Republic was simultaneously losing intelligence-gathering craft and short on useful intelligence on the Koornacht Cluster, the 16th was formed to scout and reconnoiter the cluster with particular focus on Yevethan movements, deployments and facilities. The unit had a full complement of droid-controlled Ferret-class drones and the larger, crewed Prowler-class reconnaissance craft. Colonel Mauit'ta commanded the 16th during the Black Fleet Crisis.
