24TH FLEET
The 24th Fleet traces its roots to the Treksylvanian Expeditionary Force. Formed in response to Tresylvanian aggression in 2431 AT, it consisted of two Oblivion Class destroyers, four Imperial Mark II destroyers and a handful of support vessels.
Deployed alongside TACGNOL dreadnoughts from allied Levant Al Asad, the TEF defeated the Treksylvanian home fleet and commenced an orbital bombardment of the planet of Holy Trek. Following their capitulation, the TEF landed infantry to arrest the Emperor. The TEF was deployed to contain the Chapter Conflict two years later, being the nearest formation to the site. They subdued the Chapter Vessel Seastorm after heavy fighting, compelling the Chapter to return to Laptev for court martial. During the Trathiran Revolt, the TEF was hit hard by sabotage. Two vessels of the TEF managed to escape to join the Exiles. Following the Restoration, the surviving members of the TEF were recruited to form the officer core of the 24th Fleet, which was subsequently deployed to the Third Battle over Laptev during the Qart-Hadastim war. The 24th Fleet remained in the defensive fleet of the Laptev System until the system of Royal Sparta was discovered to be overrun by plague, later determined to have been caused by the forces of Corruption. The 24th Fleet was dispatched to the Royal Sparta system where it crushed what little resistance remained before immolating the planet. |

During the Barlat War the 24th Fleet fought at the Battle over Agnes and was then transferred to the Sol System, where it fought in the Battle over Terra. Forced to retreat alongside the rest of the Imperial Jade Navy, it did not suffer as heavily as the 4th Fleet, and was a key part of the allied counter-attack that was launched following arrival of Redemption reinforcements.
The 24th fought at the Battle over Legacy, helping to repulse a Frankish assault on the system.
