Task Force Navarre was an improvised multi-regimental command formed in the Dark Age Era, composed primarily of Federated Suns troops along with mercenaries and Clan Sea Fox transport ships.[1]

History
Formation
After hearing of his homeland's disastrous defeat at Palmyra, the new First Prince Julian Davion began his long odyssey home from the other side of the Inner Sphere. Leaving Porrima in November 3144 Julian took the First Davion Guards to the Republic Remnant on Callison and requested aid from his old allies in refitting his battered command. Throughout 3145 the First Prince assembled an ad-hoc army. So many volunteers of Federated Suns origins signed up that not only did he successfully replenish the ranks of the First Davion Guards, but two new brigades - dubbed the First and Second Davion Auxiliaries - had to be created. In addition several small mercenary units pledged themselves to Julian's cause, and Gamma Aimag from Clan Sea Fox's Tiburon Khanate would provide transport through Capellan territory in exchange for the future cession of three Federates Suns worlds to their control.[2] [3]
The Voyage Home Begins
On October 15 Julian began the journey with his collected force, designated "Task Force Navarre". Having to travel around the Wall protecting Fortress Republic, Julian opted to take the longer but relatively safer route via the Free Worlds League and Capellan Confederation rather than risk traversing hostile Combine space.[4] [2]
While Navarre's fleet was accosted by League forces at Talitha, Captain-General Jessica Marik allowed the task force to transit her realm in exchange for House Marik being owed a future favor from House Davion.[3]
In the last days of 3145 Navarre entered Capellan space. Rather than risk traveling through uninhabited systems, Julian opted to brazenly raid Capellan worlds along his route. Apart from replenishing his own forces' finite supplies, he hoped to also divert Capellan attention from the beleaguered Capellan March. In this vein Navarre attacked Menkalinan and New Canton, using different troops on each world to frustrate CCAF and Maskirovka intelligence gathering. To that end, Julian negotiated Clan Sea Fox warriors' active participation in combat operations, albeit on the Clanners' own terms.[5]
The Menkalinan raid had one unintended but significant result. A captured First Davion Guards officer was rescued by a Republic DMI agent; upon learning of Julian Davion's intentions she immediately sent a report through the Wall where it ended up with Devlin Stone. Stone ordered his agents to prioritize locating Julian Davion and presenting him with a message.[5]
