Template:Battle The Ninth Battle of the Keltros Expanse was a dogfight between elements of the elite Phoenix Wing squadron and Vali Trini'qar, the Grand Marshall of the Draconian Fighter Corps. The skirmish, which ended in victory to the Draconian Union, resulted in the capture of Damar Cantii and the dissolution of the Phoenix Wing.
Overview
Background
"It is almost certainly a trap, but we must rescue Kalyna at any cost." -Damar Cantii.
Following the destruction of the Fist of Ci'hani in the Eighth Battle of the Keltros Expanse, the Draconian Union wanted revenge on the Phoenix Wing for destroying one of their precious Tractia Heavy Cruisers. Deemed fit to handle the elite fighter squadron, Grand Marshall Trini'qar was assigned to develop a plan for destroying or capturing the fighter aces.
As part of a plot to lure the elite squadron to fight on the Draconian's terms, Kalyna Amethius was captured by operatives on Charubah and taken to the Rebo system. False information was then fed known informers about when the prisoner would through the Keltros Expanse to the Alsace system on a dungeon ship.
Trini'qar estimated the most likely point of interception would be near the Rel'amma Belt close to the Eye of Rel'amma where the dungeon ship would have to come out of hyperspace due to the star's massive gravity well, and then change course towards the Rim Worlds region.
