Evening Star Task Force

The Evening Star Task Force was a small, temporary military unit formed by the during the Dark Order War.

History
Shortly after the beginning of the Dark Order War, the Kuat system was captured by the Dark Order of Korr, a faction of the {{sw|Imperial Remnant]]. Jaden Korr, the Order's leader, has attacked the system in order to seize control of its shipyards, having needed to rebuild and repair his forces in the aftermath of losses sustained before his takeover of the organization. Although the Dark Order was able to produce numerous Imperial warships while Kuat was under its control, the shipyards had previously ran low on supplies, requiring additional resources to be delivered. Otherwise, production would slow down and eventually cease. In a response, Korr ordered three supply convoys to be sent to Kuat to replenish its stockpiles of needed materials. New Republic Intelligence, having known that the shipyards were low on resources, assembled the Evening Star Task Force and deployed it at the edge of the Kuat system to prevent any Imperial supplies from getting through to the shipyards. To decrease the chances of any incoming transports reaching the large fleet at Kuat, the task force split up into three smaller groups which covertly and independently circled the system.

There were three engagements with Imperial convoys during the Shipyards of Kuat Campaign, with one Republic victory, one stalemate, and one defeat. Following the destruction of the task force's flagship, the remaining ships were reassigned elsewhere in the Republic navy.
