This Star Destroyer task force was used in "shock treatment" operations against unruly regions within the Galactic Empire.
When the first Moff of the Trans-Nebular sector established himself as a de facto warlord, the Empire sent a task force to remove him. Although claiming to conform to the Empire's rule as a loyal subject, the Moff and his ruling sector government officials were captured by a detachment of stormtroopers, tried and executed on the same day.
With other Imperial regions to punish, the majority of the naval task force took off again, leaving behind a smaller force to form the basis of a new sector fleet, and a new Moff, Nebin Cray, to run the sector.
