The First Battle of Tuvalu

The First Battle of Tuvalu occurred in late 817 AS in Omicron Delta and was the first major engagement in the Omicron Wars in which the capital fleets of the Order and the Guild Core met in open battle.



Elements of the Guild Core's Isurus, Thrinax and Sphyrna battlegroups from Omega 56 under the command of Guildmasters Joosua Elonen and Max Jones rendezvoused with the garrison of Dabadoru Station to the south-east of the planet, and moved northwards en route to the tip of the Kribati Asteroid Field before proceeding onwards to Omicron Lost.

An assembled Order task force, having received an alert from their Corsair allies of the Core's manouveres, struck southwards from Omicron Minor, and launched an attack from the north-west as the Core fleet passed the wreck of the Sitia, a well-known land-mark in this otherwise remote sector of an already inhospitable and sparsely populated system.
