History[edit]

In 3067 the Seventy-fourth is stationed on Hoard.[1]

Dark Age[edit]

At the beginning of the Dark Age the Seventy-fourth and the other elements of Iota Galaxy were in a sad state; despite having four component clusters, the total strength of all four was little more than a cluster, spread across the Hell's Horses Periphery border. Iota was at the tail end of the Hell's Horses supply chain, with no prospect of rebuilding quickly.[2]
