History

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.[1]

The Twenty-fourth was the garrison unit for Tokasha in 3061,[2] by 3067 they had taken up station on Roche.[3]

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. [4] 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.[5]
