Editing North's Last Stand (section)

==Background==

After declaring their independence from Libertas Omnium Maximus, the Bjeorg revolutionaries were left with very few military resources. They were only able to assemble a fleet of three small warships to blockade the north entrance of the [[Strait of St. Peter]]. Maintaining control of the strait was a paramount objective of the Bjeorgite insurgents, as it would prevent a Maximusian or [[Zamastan|Zamastanian]] amphibious assault.

After some skirmishing in the south portion of the strait, Zamastanian and the defending [[Eiria|Eirian]] fleet was deadlocked in place. The fate of the territory remained contested. In order to end the deadlock, the Maximusians launched a small armada from [[Saint Augustine]], which consisted of two cruisers, one frigate, and one corvette.
