Fleet Group Three was one of three major fleets in service with the New Republic Defense Force at the time of the Battle of Coruscant. Commanded by General Wedge Antilles from the Star Destroyer Mon Mothma, it was to be the hammer to the anvil of Fleet Groups One and Two. It suffered the fewest losses during the engagement due to General Antilles' reluctance to engage refugee ships that were being forced to ram themselves against Coruscant's planetary shield by the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Thousands of his ships defected to General Garm Bel Iblis's Fleet Group Two as a result of their fleet commander's refusal to engage.
