Strike fleet

A strike fleet as a military unit in the Dominion fleet organisation. Strike fleets are groupings of between 100 and 300 starships (some fleets included Cardassian warships) formed for a particular purpose from a Dominion division. As such strike fleets have no permanent designation as they are forced as required. Command of a strike fleet is usually given to a Chelek'toran, though if the mission is of great enough importance a Sadok'toran will take command of the fleet.

Strike fleets are given a number/letter designation when formed such as 7-Gamma-F. In an effort to track fleet moments Starfleet Intelligence would assign the strike fleet a name based on where it was first encountered, so 7-Gamma-F could be referred to as the Betazed-12 fleet given it was initially encountered in the system. 

Prior to the Battle of Guyra Starfleet Intelligence knew of six strike fleets within seventeen hours of the Guyra system, though they doubted that any more then three would be lured to the system for the battle. A Vorta Sadok'toran commanded the fleet the engaged in the battle. The Dominion force suffered over 50% losses during the battle.
