Template:UnderConstruction Template:Battle The Second Battle of Queen-Mother's Pearls was a massive space battle in the Hapan civil war fought in the Interior region of the Hapes Cluster, near the stars known as Queen-Mother's Pearls. The battle is seen as a revenge for the Draconian Union's loss of the Zukan system some decaded earlier. The Sword Confederacy's fleet was commanded by Lady Zului who had originally conquered the Zukan system in the early stages of the conflict, while the Draconian Union's forces were commanded by Lord Tylger.
Overview
Preparation & Initial Movement
Preparing an offensive in to Sword Confederacy territory, the spies of the Draconian Union warned Sword naval command of an upcoming attack on the Rivved HQ space station in Rivved Space. Furthermore they revealed the supposed Draconian approach vector which involved taking a small task force close enough the radiation of Queen-Mother's Pearls to avoid detection.
The Sword Confederacy, believing that an ambush would make it easy for them to capture or kill the supposed Draconian commander, Lord Tylger, prepared the 4th Sword Carrier Group to intercept the Draconian task force on April 5 3974.
Ambush
The 12th Draconian Escort Fleet passed near the Queen-Mother's Pearls on the designated date, luring the 4th Sword Carrier Group to follow them. Sword commander Lady Zului hoped to be able to sneak up on the Draconian fleet. As the Sword fleet entered the gravity wells of two of the largest stars, Eye of Arwinian and Eye of Tini'duran, the 8th Draconian Order entered the arena from one direction and the 13th Draconian Escort Fleet from another. The 12th Draconian Escort Fleet came about and the three fleets engaged the 4th Sword Carrier Group.
