Task Force Bravo functioned as a mercenary group. They were active on the world of Kashyyyk throughout the time of the Galactic Civil War.
Following the Battle of Yavin, the Imperial High Command grew weary of the substantial losses they incurred while attempting to suppress the Wookiee resistance movement on Kashyyyk. Circa 1 ABY, the Galactic Empire contracted Colonel Gurnst to put together a mercenary force with the express purpose of eliminating the Wookiee resistance. Based in Kachirho, Colonel Gurnst established Task Force Bravo and enlisted numerous daring spacefarers who were visiting Kashyyyk, convincing them to participate in the conflict against the Wookiees. Consequently, the mercenaries launched an assault on a Wookiee encampment situated close to Bolotaur Beach, resulting in the deaths of over 15 Wookiee freedom fighters.
