This, however, was a hugely flawed science, with Navy officers in space simply unable to leverage fire missions on short timescales - Navy targeting officers had to collect intelligence on the relative importance of enemy targets, on their defenses against orbital bombardment, and calculate precise fire missions to feed to their gunners.Įventually, the Navy would resort to the usage of TIE Predators to deploy from Navy carriers and to enter the atmospheres of hostile planets, transversing their targets at an altitude of several hundred kilometers, gathering more precise targeting data. Traditionally, the Navy would maintain "targeting officers" aboard its Star Destroyers, who were specially trained in the use of long-range reconnaissance optics and telemetry to identify planetary targets for bombardment with turbolaser batteries. While the Imperial Navy was an acknowledged expert in engagement of enemy warships and fighter craft in deep space, in planetary orbits, or in the atmosphere, during the Legacy Era it would become painstakingly apparent that many Navy task forces were largely ineffective in precise and efficient bombardment of hostile positions on planetary surfaces.
Imperial Marine Advance Force Operations ( AFO), otherwise known as the Marine Special Forces or Imperial Navy Advance Force Operations, and colloquially known as the " Advance Force" or " Recces" in Special Forces jargon, was a special operations force of the Imperial Navy and the Galactic Empire Special Operations Command that was instigated during the Legacy Era as a component of Galactic Emperor Roan Fel's reform of the Imperial military.
