Force superiority

A force superiority or superiority force was a formation of the Imperial Navy commanded by a systems admiral. It was comprised of three battle squadrons, and a light squadron, for a total average of ninety starships, including three Star Destroyers. Force superiority formations were expected to perform space superiority missions which was defined as "the complete absence of hostile craft within the orbital space of controlled worlds, and no chronic enemy ship activity within the entire system." The Imperial Navy considered space superiority to be their primary mission.
