The Lighthouse Battle

The Lighthouse Battle 

September 3597 OTT

One of the final space battles of the fourth Intergalactic War and part of Operation Steel Broom. Named for the nearby Star System Lighthouse. The battle was decisively won by Union forces and created catastrophic losses on the Galactic Council side, with the first large casualties to actual Kermac units and lives.

The USS Nynivee under Captain Carla Lychhod retreated from the engagement because of heavy battle damage. Captain Lychhod ordered the ship to a nearby, yet unexplored system and made planetfall onto the 3rd planet, a garden world with breathable atmosphere, to affect repairs as her Chief Engineer wanted to repair the main drive and needed to do that from the outside. The crew found something[1] on that planet and reported it to Union Fleet Command. That triggered the largest Fleet deployment to a single destination of Union History. Every ship that could be spared was sent to that system with orders to destroy anything and anyone coming within a light year distance. The new system was named Arsenal System Arsenal and became Union Territory.
