Sedesia taskforce

The Sedesia taskforce was an Imperial detachment composed of various Imperial branches sent to the planet Sedesia to deal with an outbrake of the "Gray Death", a highly deadly plague. It was part of the Pathogen-Based Loyalty Enhancement Program.

COMPNOR
The largest part of the taskforce was the detachment of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order. The Redesign Bureau of the Coalition for Improvements sent a large medical group to provide on-site research against the plague, led by Dr. Fesjo Negleem.

The SAGroup sent many volunteers to distribute the antivirus among the populace.

To provide security, a CompForce regiment was sent along as well. This regiment was composed of an assault battalion and two infantry battalions. The usual fourth battalion, a repulsorlift battalion, had to stay behind because the natural condition of Sedesia made the use of repulsorlifts too dangerous. Of the total complement of 3,380 troopers there were 2,560 troopers sent to Sedesia, together with 88 hoverscouts and an assortment of 22 wheel bikes.

Imperial Navy
The Imperial Navy sent four ship to Sedesia: One Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser, one Strike-class medium cruiser and two Guardian-class light cruiser. The Dreadnaught and the Strike cruiser each carried a single squadron of TIE/ln starfighter.

Imperial Army
The Imperial Army sent 3,000 regular Army troopers, roughly regiment-strenght. They were carried aboard the Dreadnaught-class cruiser.

Stormtrooper Corps
The Stormtrooper Corps sent a company of stormtroopers, together with an AT-AT and two AT-STs, all stationed onboard the Strike cruiser.

Deployment
The starships were deployed in orbit around the planet, establishing a blockade and enforcing the quarantine. Howver, due to the outbrack of the plague, there were almost no attempts made to land on the planet. The only time was when a group of Rebel agents infiltrated the planet.

The Army and Stormtrooper detachments remained stationed onboard theirrespective vessels and could be called by the ground forces as reinforcements.

The majority of the forces on the planet came from COMPNOR and most of them were stationed the city of Besia Osurne. The medical unit had set up headquarters in an old veterinary medicine center outside the city. Health stations, distributing the cure and manned by SAGroup volunteers and CompForce units were scattered all over the planet.
