The 74th Strike Wing, also known as the Jotunjegere, were a mixed aerial squadron of Storm Eagles and Xiphon Interceptors from the Space Wolves Legion.[1]

Overview

The Jotunjegere gained their epithet during the conflict on Balmordan in 006.M31, where they destroyed the Legio Tempestus Reaver Battle Titan Hand of Dominance.[1]

Later on, the squadron, serving in the warband of Wolf Captain Thegn Hruskav Frostglare, went on to earn their place in the sagas by seeking out the most deadly of foes in numerous engagements throughout the Horus Heresy. Before disappearing from all records, the Jotunjegere were credited with four engine kills, including felling the Legio Fureans Warbringer Nemesis Titan Calamitous Horizon before destroying its legs with missile barrages.[1]
