User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Massacre at DF45-98

"One of our scout ships picked up the debris field, we estimated at least one hundred capital vessels but it could have been more as we had identified high concentrations of metal particles free floating all around. FEDR NAVCOMM told us that it was just another battle in the endless list of battles between the Avias and the Flood but we all knew it had been a massacre."

The Massacre at DF45-98 is one of the billions of battles between the Flood Horde and the Avias Dominion. While the actually happened during the battle is not known by the galaxy at large, the outcome is: approximately one hundred and seventeen Dominion vessels engaged an unspecified Flood-controlled naval force in orbit of the gas giant DF45-98 by Federal Stellar Cartography records and were promptly destroyed. The damage or loss of live on the Flood force is unknown as the Flood forces have a tendency to reclaim disabled ships into fully functional vessel thereby leaving no trace behind.

The destroyed Avias Naval Fleet was mostly salvaged by Federal forces before leaving the rest to any junk merchants that would want to try their luck.
