Task force Adamantium

1st Wave

The first wave of Task force Adamantium was cobbled together from the survivors of many capaigns from all over the sector and beyond. The vast majority of the regiments involved were significantly below strength with only the Techguard and local Bethsheba forces at full strength. Tradition would have folded the weakened units together to produce an overall force of about 20 regiments however, in order to get permision from Sector Command Lord General Jagger was forced to make his force seem stronger than it was neccessitating a beaurocratic slight of hand.

Fleet forces

The fleet forces assigned to Task force Adamantium indicate the low importance placed on their mission by sector command and the navy. Although prentiful transports were assigned the number of escorts were lower than requested and most were second line ships pulled from reserve duties. The exception is the carrier Lady of Pain representing a new and to date quite successful design, although its fighter compliment would prove un-usable on Telos itself. Luckely the traitor space fleet consisted of only a handful of system ships which were quickly dealt with. However, the Navy took this lack of orbital threat in withdraw much of its forces once the system had been secured leaving the ground forces without orbital support for much of the campaign.

2nd Wave

The second wave of the Task force was significantly different to the first and represents the displeasure of Sector Command with Lord General Jagger. Although numerically superiour to the first wave the quality of the troops are generally second class with a few exceptions. The majority of the units are green troops on their first deployment and are often poorly equiped as well.
