In January 2374, Federation President Rosarev -- in his role as Commander-in-Chief of Federation forces -- ordered the Seventh, Ninth and Tenth Fleets to the Spinward Theater of Operations. (Dominion War Timeline: "Early Dominion Victories: January-June 2374")
The Tenth Fleet was tasked with the defense of Betazed and its outlying colonies during the Dominion War. In late-2374, the Tenth Fleet was caught off guard by an assault on Betazed by the Dominion that saw the world captured in ten hours. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")
- According to at least one source, The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon, the Tenth Fleet was completely destroyed fighting to the last to give the Betazoids time to prepare for the invasion.
