User:144PA/Battle of Empyrean

The Battle of Empyrean was the Empire's second offensive against the United Galactic Alliance. Empyrean sends much of it's fleet to help defend Bagay from the Jiralhanae Assault and evacuate survivors. Unfortunately for the UGA, this was a strategic plan by the Jiralhanae. An armada of 80 Jiralhanae ships arrived at Empyrean. With most of it's ships gone, Empyrean is almsot defenseless against the Jiralhanae onslaught. Destroying the remaining ships, orbital defense platforms, and nearby shipyards, the armada is able to send many ships to the planet's surface. Deploying Acteons and hundreds of Brutes to the surface, the Empire is able to quickly take control of Empyrean. As they begin slaughtering, enslaving, and eating civilians on Empyrean, a response fleet arrives, the 17th Fleet of Valor. After recieving a distress beacon from the planet, the 17th fleet, composed of 60 warships, attacks the Jiralhanae occupiers.
