The Manticore Task Force is the fifth of six Freedom Phalanx Task Forces, and the completion of all six grants the Task Force Commander Badge. The other five task forces are started by Positron, Synapse, Sister Psyche, Citadel, and Numina.

This task force is also designated as a Signature Task Force. As such, missions will always spawn mobs at level 35 or higher, regardless of team members' levels.
