The '''Death Fleet''' is a [[protoss]] fleet based on [[Slayn]]. Comprised of a number of [[Tal'darim]] vessels, it was constructed to serve [[Amon]]'s will to eradicate all life in the sector at his command.<ref name="SC2:LotV:StepsoftheRite">Blizzard Entertainment. ''[[StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void]]''. Vivendi Games. Mission: [[Steps of the Rite]]. (in English). November 10, 2015</ref> It later came to serve as the Tal'darim aerospace force.

[[Carrier]]s comprise the majority of ships within the fleet.<ref name="Collections">[[Blizzard Entertainment]]. ''[[StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void]]''. Collections Tab: Skins. July 19, 2017</ref>

==History==
The Death Fleet was formed under the command of the Tal'darim [[Highlord]] [[Ma'lash]]. The fleet maintained orbit over the Tal'darim homeworld of [[Slayn]], ready to move at a moment's notice for a full-scale invasion. The fleet comprised a number of [[destroyer (protoss)|destroyers]], [[carrier]]s, and [[mothership (Tal'darim)|mothership]]s. The fleet is commanded by powerful [[fleet lord]]s, who oversee the destruction of their foes from the bridges of their motherships.<ref name="LotV War Council">[[Blizzard Entertainment]].

===End War===
[[File:CarrierMothershipZealot SC2-LotV Cine1.jpg|thumb|left|Death Fleet ships in the Daelaam fleet]]
During the [[End War]], First [[Ascendant]] [[Alarak]] came to Slayn with [[Hierarch]] [[Artanis]], and with his aid, overthrew Ma'lash to rule the Tal'darim. Under Alarak's command, the Death Fleet subsequently joined with the [[Daelaam]] to fight against [[Amon]],<ref name="SC2:LotV:RakShir">Blizzard Entertainment. ''[[StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void]]''. Vivendi Games. Mission: [[Rak'Shir (mission)|Rak'Shir]]. (in English). November 10, 2015</ref> and Alarak deployed them in his fight against [[Amon's Forces]]. In the final stages of the End War, the Death Fleet finally arrived to [[Aiur]] with the [[Purifier (race)|Purifier]], [[Nerazim]] and Khalai fleets. Together they bombarded Amon's host form, destroying it. Later, the Tal'darim fleet provided defense against Amon's [[zerg]] [[Amon Brood|brood]] and the corrupted protoss of the [[Golden Armada]], until the [[xel'naga]] [[Keystone]] activated, freeing the Templar.<ref name="SC2:LotV:Salvation">Blizzard Entertainment.

===The Defenders of Man===

[[Defenders of Man Insurgency|Years later]], the Death Fleet arrived at [[Tyrador IX]] to exterminate the [[Defenders of Man]] for destroying a remote Tal'darim outpost and then escaping before the Tal'darim could retaliate, though they were stopped by [[Covert Ops Crew|Dominion forces]].<ref name="NCO_TroubleParadise">Blizzard Entertainment.

After [[Vardona]] was discovered to be the Defenders of Man stronghold and General [[Carolina Davis]] their leader, Alarak unleashed the Death Fleet on the world. Dominion soldiers, Defenders of Man, and civilians alike were caught in the Tal'darim's fury.<ref name="SC2:NCO_Emperor's_Justice">Blizzard Entertainment. ''[[StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops]].'' (Activision Blizzard). PC. Cinematic: [[Dark Skies#The Emperor's Justice|The Emperor's Justice]] (in English). 2016-11-22.</ref> However, though Alarak and Nova had made a bargain, she refused to allow him to harm civilians, and opposed his attack. Dominion forces, Nova's [[Covert Ops Crew]], and low ranking Defenders of Man all united to push back the Death Fleet, forming a defensive line as they poured through the city. The line held back the Tal'darim's initial pushes, and soon the [[Dominion Fleet]] arrived, using ''[[Gorgon]]''-class [[battlecruiser]]s to strafe the attack lanes. Ji'nara attempted to throw motherships against the terran defenses, but to no avail. After heavy casualties, the Death Fleet was forced to withdraw.<ref name="NCO_DarkSkies">Blizzard Entertainment.

===The Fall of Spearpoint Base===
[[File:FallofSpearpoint Survivors Comic1.JPG|thumb|The Death Fleet assaults [[Spearpoint Base]]]]
Sometime after the [[End War]], the Tal'darim were contacted by a [[the Prisoner|renegade Nerazim]], who led them to a [[Umojan Protectorate]] world named [[Aeneas (planet)|Aeneas]] where [[anti-protoss weapon]]s were being developed. The Tal'darim dispatched the Death Fleet, and besieged the world. In a [[Fall of Spearpoint Base|fierce battle]], the Death Fleet annihilated the defenders and purified the base. However, over the course of the battle, a terran ship containing a powerful protoss power source rammed into one of the Death Fleet's [[Tal'darim mothership|motherships]], destroying both in a cataclysmic explosion.<ref name="SCSur:Issue4">Houser, Jody (w), Guzmán,Gabriel (p, i).
