Task Force 85 is a Star Army of Yamatai Task Force created to address the possible threat of Yamatai technologies being reverse-engineered through the work of foreign spies (particularly from the Interstellar Kingdom Of Kuvexia), unsanctioned salvage, or piracy.

It operates as mostly independent scout ships outside of Yamatai's official boarders, and is not a particularly well funded or respected agency due to rumours of them performing 'mercy killings' on friendly ships that they are not equipped to save.

First formed in YE 39 from a surplus of Midori-class hulls from the first expeditionary fleet's logistic chain, Task Force 85 has the honourable distinction of not knowing exactly who was the founder. It is common conjecture that it was founded by a SAINT member looking to cast a wide net looking for a particular foe, and was simply left in operation when they turned out to be useful for pirate-hunting grunt work.

The current commanding officer is another unknown Taisa who communicates through sparse transmissions only. Crews are specifically chosen from the ranks of regular SAOY members, almost always people with spotty records.

• 12 Midori-Class Scout Ship (Including the YSS Komainu.)
• 2 Anri-Class Deep-Space Repair Vessel
• 2 Minori-Class Hospital Ship

They assume no creative control or authority over the fleet elements, however; This organisation is merely here as a backdrop to the YSS Komainu plot.
