[edit] History

Shortly after the establishment of the Dominion elements of the fleet travelled to Char due to Sarah Kerrigan's psionic emmanations. The fleet was led by General Edmund Duke and contained elements of Alpha Squadron. It engaged zerg and protoss forces in orbit but was defeated. Many ships were either overrun by the zerg or destroyed by the Protoss Expeditionary Fleet that arrived shortly after. With the ground forces suffering disaster as well the fleet fell back from Char,[1] and later another fleet was defeated by the protoss.[2]

The fleet did not fare well during the Brood War. The United Earth Directorate Expeditionary Force inflicted notable defeats during the raid on the Dylarian Shipyards and the conquest of Korhal. It had to be rescued by Mengsk's temporary allies.[3] As part of the alliance the Armada participated in successful actions against the UED and the liberation of Korhal. The war ended with a series of defeats at the hands of the zerg, first at the betrayal at Korhal and finally at Char.

After the Brood War a squadron aided Valerian Mengsk in his endeavour to find and secure archaeological materials.[4][5] Eventually, a massive zerg invasion led personally by Kerrigan began targeting Dominion core worlds and this forced the Armada to pull back to defend the primary resource centres although it cost them to abandon the Fringe Worlds to their fate.[6]
