The Lost Fleets are trio of Eldari fleets that had orders to colonize. Their fate is unknown, as each fleet lost contact.

The First Fleet
The First Fleet was sent out in 1200 BC, under the command of Judicator Sunderilix. It contained a total of 1200 ships. They were destined to colonize a far-away galaxy, yet when they sped past the Magellanic Clouds, they lost contact with Aiurania.

The Third Fleet
The Third and last Lost Fleet was sent out in 1890 AD, led by High Templar Kharvus. It was well outside the Virgo Supercluster when it lost contact. Its fate is unkown, like the other fleets.
