One Oh Third Task Force

The One Oh Third Task Force was a task force within the Imperial Navy under the command of the long-serving Admiral Durril. Its flagship was the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer Judicator, which was backed up by multiple smaller craft, including Arquitens-class light cruisers.

In 2 BBY, during the Imperial Era, the One Oh Third participated in an attempt to capture Scrim Island on the planet Batonn from a group of insurgents, as part of a wider effort to enforce order over the Batonn sector. However, the assault failed after Durril fell victim to his opponents' tactics, with much of the task force being immobilized by enemy ion cannons.

Although the Imperial ships managed to escape from the battle, Durril's request at another attempt was denied by his superior, and the One Oh Third was sent away to be repaired at the Marleyvane shipyards. Instead, Durril's rival, Admiral Thrawn, was responsible for taking the island, later defeating the rest of the Batonn insurgents with help from TIE fighters lent from the One Oh Third.
