| − | ===Clan Goliath Scorpion===
| |
| − | The '''Twenty-fourth Scorpion Cuirassiers''' form the honor guard for the Khans of Clan Goliath Scorpion. Scorpion warriors vie for postings to this unit, as a position in the unit is the second-highest honor a warrior can attain. (Having their genetic legacy passed on to future generations is the highest honor.) In [[3059]] the Sixty-seventh Battle Trinary was detailed as Khan Suvorov's honor guard traveling with her wherever she went.<ref name=FM:WCp111/>

| − | The Twenty-fourth was the garrison unit for [[Tokasha]] in [[3061]],<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 164</ref> by 3067 they had taken up station on [[Roche]].<ref name=FM:Up78>''Field Manual: Update'', p. 78, "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref>

| − | In November 3074 Khan Suvarov took the Twenty-fourth to [[Shadow]] on a mission to meet [[Clan Fire Mandrill]], however a full naval star from [[Clan Coyote]] prevented their landing on the planet and the Khan moved her force on to [[Dagda (Clan)|Dagda]]. <ref name="WORp127">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 127, "Scorpion Gambit"</ref> Here they found the planet in decline, its ecosystem had become unstable. The few Mandrill survivors still on the planet were rescued and absorbed into the Clan after a brief Trial of Possession which saw Khan Suvarov knocked out Star Colonel Hampton Schroeder in a boxing match.<ref name="WORp129">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 129, "Scorpion Gambit"</ref>

| − | As part of the multi-Clan force Alpha Galaxy including the Twenty-fourth Cuirassiers dropped onto [[New Kent]] in mid December 3075 as part of the Steel Viper Annihilation. Alpha secured its main objective of the Shandrake Massif research facility by the end of day two. Fighting continued for a least a further week before orbital bombardment reduced the last Viper strong point to dust. <ref name="WORp150">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 150-151, "Focussed Agression"</ref>
