==History==
 
==History==
Between 2756 and 2764 the Twentieth Fleet was commanded by Admiral Terrance Gerhardt. Admiral Gerhardt was relieved of command for conduct unbecoming a Star League officer and was being investigated for fraud and profiteering. With such an example, the Twentieth's poor performance wasn't surprising. Admiral Groll assumed command in 2764, and nine months of training against the [[3rd Fleet (Star League)|Third Fleet]] allowed the Twentieth to pass the SLDF's minimum performance requirements. Though their training operations took place at [[New Earth]], the Twentieth sent a contingent of their staff officers to [[Tentavia]] in [[2765]]. This spurred rumors that the Twentieth would deploy to the Taurian Concordat front.<ref name=fmsldf238/>

When the [[Periphery Uprising]] began the independent Twentieth Fleet was conducting exercises within the [[Terran Hegemony]], complete with observers from the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] aboard a number of ships. The Twentieth quickly rearmed and prepared for an operational deployment, but [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] opted to hold [[Admiral]] Groll and the Twentieth in reserve. As the conflict in the [[Periphery]] escalated the Twentieth moved forward, deploying to bases within the [[Federated Suns]] in [[2765]] in anticipation of combat operations in the Periphery, but before the go order was given, news of [[Stefan Amaris]]' coup reached the [[SLDF]].<ref name="H:LoTv1p48"/>
