A combined force unit of the Galactic Empire, comprising Imperial Navy warships, Imperial Army units, and Stormtrooper battalions. One of eight such task forces under the direction of Admiral Danik Kreldin during his Imperial Blitzkrieg of 14 ABY. Acting as a crack spearhead unit, Task Force Crimson Star had the dubious distinction of being first into any combat zone, and was a favorite unit of Kreldin's to use in a tactical pinch. It had its own command ship, but was frequently led by Kreldin's own Star Destroyer HIMS Conqueror during the Blitz.
