Wolfpack formation

A wolfpack was a space naval formation in which several starships would group together to form a rapid attack force. This was a tactic often employed by the ASF, KSI, and later the TUS.

Yaeger Wolfpack
The Yaeger wolfpack was a rapid strike formation often employed by the Allied Systems Federation in the ASF-K'adurbian War. This strike group often consisted of 4 to 5 Yaeger class corvettes, and a supporting vessel. This supporting vessel was often a ship of the Nabulon class, the Hermes class, the Vishaap class, or in rare cases the Atlas class. These supporting vessels often were tasked with coordinating the attack patterns of the wolfpack, while also providing small craft support or suppression fire.

The Yaeger wolfpack saw a lot of action in fleet movements against K'adurbian cruisers during the war. Due to the limitations of starship shield grids during that time period, assaults from multiple attack vectors proved lethal. While ASF Starfighters often had a difficult time dealing damage through the durable K'adurbian ship armor, the Yaeger's class Jazer beam cannon could provide the firepower to penetrate this armor. By swarming the enemy cruiser, weak spots in the shield grid could be exploited. These precision attacks would often deal critical damage to enemy cruisers.

The Yaeger pack was often countered by frigate wings, whose extensive medium weapon arsenals proved quite lethal to the fragile Yaeger classes.
