The Byss Defense Fleet was an Imperial Navy fleet that was tasked with defending the Deep Core planet Byss.

CompositionEdit

The fleet included various types of starships, including TIE/LN starfighters and GAT-12 Skipray Blastboats, as well as capital ships such as several Imperial-class Star Destroyers, at least one Secutor-class Star Destroyer, at least one Procursator-class Star Destroyer, at least two Vengeance-class dreadnoughts and at least one Bellator-class dreadnought. The elite TIE Fighter unit Dark Squadron was also attached to the fleet.^[1]

HistoryEdit

During the early years of the Galactic Empire, the fleet helped to guard the Super Star Destroyer prototype, which was under construction above Byss. The fleet fought against an Alderaanian Resistance fleet during the Battle of Byss, when the Resistance attempted to destroy the prototype.^[1]

A fleet made up of Star Destroyers of various classes was stationed around the planet around 10 ABY.^[2]
