The '''Galactic Federation Marine Corps Task Force Herakles''' is a division of the [[Galactic Federation Marine Corps]] patrolling different regions of space during the events of ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. The squadron [[Samus Aran|Samus]] encounters while on [[Aether]], '''Galactic Federation trooper squad Bravo''',<ref>{{cite|--- Mission File 02543 --- 8 days ago, contact with Galatic Federation trooper squad Bravo was lost. --- Contract Agreement --- Locate Federation troopers and render assistance. --- Data Confirmation --- Last transmission received from a rogue planet located in the Dasha region called Aether.|Samus Mission File|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]}}</ref> were the men and women who made up the crew of the ''[[G.F.S. Tyr]]''. They were on patrol in the [[Dasha Region]] when they engaged an unknown [[Space Pirate]] frigate and followed it into Aether's atmosphere, where a storm caused damage to their ship.<ref>{{cite|Datecycle 07.014.2 (Cosmos) Final report, GFMC Task Force Herakles. Exeter, A.C. commanding. While on patrol in the Dasha system, we engaged an unknown Space Pirate frigate. The enemy frigate was crippled, and it crashed on the planet Aether. We followed the Pirates, but our ship was damaged by a storm as we entered Aether's atmosphere.|[[Captain A. Exeter]]|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]}}</ref> The magnetic interference from the storm disrupted their communications, and so they split into two groups: Force One, focused on repairing the downed ship, and Force Two, focused on setting up an Ops base.<ref>{{cite|Heavy magnetic activity during the storm disabled our comm systems. Upon landing, we split into two units: one to set up an Ops base, the other to repair the ship. Each unit was doing fine, no problems... ...until they appeared.|[[Captain A. Exeter]]|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite|We'll be making our stand here. The engineer tells me there's no way we'll get the ship's engines online, and atmospheric interference is scrambling our distress beacon.

Brouda]]|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]}}</ref> Repeated encounters with [[Ing]] [[Darkling|possessed]] [[Splinter]]s led to ammunition depletion and the deaths of all members of Squad Bravo.<ref>{{cite|The sarge says those "Splinters" remind him of some killer bug he saw on another planet once. All I know is the things are fast and take a lot to drop. Pretty soon we'll have to go to bayonets. Everyone's low on ammo...even [[Lance Corporal J. Brode|Brode]], and he's the stingiest grunt I know.|Trooper Log for [[Specialist F. Triplette|SPC F. Triplette]]|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]}}</ref>

Interestingly enough, the number of troopers [[Samus Aran|Samus]] encounters on Aether doesn't correspond to the number of seats on the ''G.F.S. Tyr''.
