UNSCDF Battlegroup Israel

Battlegroup Israel was a unit consisting of twenty-two United Nations Space Command Warships, as part of the UNSC Navy and stationed on the planet "Atlantis". Though consisting of Navy personnel, and vessels, the unit as of 2541 was lead by Major Antonio Saxton, and eventually Captain Teresa Yvette who served as liaison between the UNSC Navy, and Army.

Battlegroup Israel was garrisoned above the central city of New Valhalla, on a geosynchronous orbital platform. Due to the rich mineral wealth of the planet of Atlantis, the system served as the industrial hub of the United Nations Space Command and supplied the strained fleet with much needed fuel and ammunition.

The Battlegroup was one of thirteen that patrolled the system, though it was the most recognizable as it was present during the planet's colonization. The flagship "CFV-Neptune" was originally responsible for the colonization of Valhalla, and later converted into a warship to patrol the surrounding nebula and system. All save one were built and armed in orbit from parts manufactured planetside, Israel became a symbol of Atlantis, and the pride of the planet.

Trivia

 * Due to I/5's military grade vessels and rapid slipspace transit, the unit's smaller, weaker ships were usually used for the transportation of important goods and packages during peace time.
