Battle of Marven's Rest

The Battle of Marven's Rest is regarded as the turning point of the ECHO-Midworld Campaign during the early Era of the Admirals. Between (insert Dates) of Imperial Year 9993, Pillar Alliance forces led by Rear Admiral Marven Folken staged air raids and guerrilla assaults against the ECHO Fourth Fleet led by Admiral Dubore stationed in Delta Reach. Hostilities reached a boiling point on, when Admiral Dubore staged a raid on Saga Peaks, thought to be the location of Marven's HQ. The information was leaked by an information broker aligned with the Pillar Alliance, allowing Marven time to stage an ambush against Dubore's assault force. The ambush staged by Folken failed because miscommunication between his forces, which lead to the demise of over 75% of Folken's larger ships and the destruction of a Pillar Alliance supply base in the Saga Peaks. Folken regrouped his forces, while being chased by Dubore's forces. A few days later on, Folken staged his final defense line in the Honeywell Valley and faced Dubore's fleet head-on. Though outnumbered 20 ships to 1, Folken has used dummy ships to trick Dubore's forces into identifying more ships on radar than there really weres. An over-confident Dubore charged his forces head-on to crush Folken's forcs, however Folken had predicted Debore's actions beforehand and had his dummy ships filled with explosives and managed to destroy 30% of Debore's fleet without sustaining any damage to his own. During the confusion Folken's fleet began to retreat out of the Honeywell Valley region. A hotheaded Debore routed his fleet and charged after the retreating alliance forces and destroyed Folken's flagship, The Silver Shell's engine. Folken used his ships grappler hooks to drag Debore's flagship, The Helghan down with his resulting in the death of both Admirals.
