Task-Force Gladius' assigned Battleships Manticore and Minotaur recently saw action in Omega-7, a contested region of space bordering Rheinland as a result of a large Military presence having amassed in that sector and its bordering ones.
This came as a result of several frantic communications between Hessian forces having been picked up from long-range, those suggesting that a major Military offensive was underway. As Gladius' previously undertook a kind of joint-operation with elements of the Red Hessian Army, resulting in overwhelming success given the circumstances, the commanding officers of the Manticore and Minotaur saw fit to repay the Army's favor in kind by assisting them in defense of their territories. After arriving in Omega-11, only to find it mostly deserted, contact scarce Hessian ships present in the area at the time was established and both Battleships ventured into Omega-7 to conduct an assault on the Military's forces.
The damage caused was great, nullifying the Battleships Skorzeny, Sitzen and Feldheim in the process, and allowing local allied forces to further destroy up to another two, if not three Cruisers before the Military overpowered the remaining allies with their unending numbers.
However the cost was great. Both the Manticore and Minotaur suffered critical damage and were effectively rendered inoperable. What is left of them is currently returning to the Pacifica perimeter to conduct major repairs, with hundreds injured and a so far unconfirmed number of casualties. High Command views this as a pyrrhic victory. The drastic action this assault represents may have bought the Hessians time, but it has significantly weakened the Legion's position in the Pacifica Perimeter for the time being.
Luckily the strike-craft escorts present aboard both the Manticore and Minotaur were left to safe-guard Pacifica and to continue patrols in Hudson and in Bering, ensuring that some military presence may be maintained at all times, with no casualties in the ranks of the latter.
