By the mid-3060s, the CPF was scattered widely across the Hanseatic League, operating alongside all of the League's [[JumpShip]]s; members rarely spent more than a week on any given world. Comprised primarily of [[aerospace fighter]]s, marines, and the few [[assault DropShip]]s owned by the League, deployments of the CPF were arranged on a unit by unit basis. If a single JumpShip was intent on trading in the [[Deep Periphery]], it would be accompanied by a CPF fighter [[squadron]], or perhaps a CPF [[DropShip]], and with a marine detachment present aboard the JumpShip and any attached DropShips. If several merchant vessels were traveling together, the HSF would often add a militarized CPF JumpShip accompanied by combat DropShips and fighter squadrons to chaperone the convoy. The visible presence provided by the CPF was the main means by which the Council of Merchants projected the League's influence across unaffiliated traders and those buying from or selling to the Hansa.<ref name="FM:Pp138">''Field Manual: Periphery'', p. 138, "Convoy Protection Force"</ref>
