Colonial Fleet

The Colonial Fleet was a branch of the Terran Confederacy armed forces. It worked in conjunction with the Confederate Marine Corps, thus seemingly being the equivalent of a Navy. Like the Corps, it (theoretically) upheld the ideals of "strength, pride and discipline," although not in the sense that it could be considered its motto. Those in the Confederate Marine Corps could transfer to the fleet, several training courses being available at various academies.

By extension, the Colonial Fleet provided air support in terrestial operations and it appears that a Confederate Air Force was merged into the Fleet at some point, air bases being maintained on worlds such as Tarsonis. Elements of Air Force rank structure also found their way into the fleet.

It is possible that Sector Patrol was part of the Fleet.

History
The Colonial Fleet was present at Chau Sara when the Protoss arrived. It is unknown whether they made a stand or not, but regardless, the outcome was the destruction of the planet. In the aftermath, the Confederacy launched a clumsy counterattack against the invading fleet. In a sense, they were victorious, the Protoss 'retreating' despite superior numbers.

Along with the Confederate Army, the fleet was dispatched to Antiga Prime to deal with its rebellion and the Sons of Korhal. However, the presence of the Zerg complicated matters. Exactly how long the fleet was present is unknown but was eventually forced to retreat to Halcyon. Any ships which remained were destroyed by the Zerg lured in by a psi emitter.

It is likely that the Colonial Fleet was present at Tarsonis shortly before its fall to the Zerg, given that the space platforms above the planet were designed as staging areas. In the aftermath, elements of the fleet were probably merged into the Navy of the newly formed Terran Dominion.
