The Battle of the Galinios Sea was a naval and amphibious campaign fought between the Empire of Darya and Libertas Omnium Maximus and her allies in the North Galinios Sea and the Prince Frederick Islands as one of the opening confrontations of the Great War.
Background[edit | edit source]
As early as 1960, Maximusian intelligence indicated that Darya was amassing forces in preparation for an invasion of the Hesperidan mainland. To do so, the Daryans would need unrestricted access to the Promethean, meaning that Legionite and Maximusian navies present in the Galinios had to be subdued, and key ports had to be blockaded or captured. Although the Maximusians were slow to mobilize, a number of strategic islands off the south and west coast of the mainland were given additional armaments and provisions.
Conflict[edit | edit source]
Battle at Sea[edit | edit source]
In late July of 1961, a Daryan attack fleet was observed conducting live-fire drills in international waters roughly three hundred nautical miles south-west from Bjeorg. The fleet contained transport ships and amphibious landing craft. Preparing for the worst, Libertas Omnium Maximus conducted a massive draft on August 1, compelling a quarter of a million into service. The next day, Darya declared total war, citing "continued Maximusian military aggrandizement and aggression." The Maximusian first fleet, commanded by Admiral Brandon Pickney, was dispatched to meet the Daryans as they advanced into the Maximusian exclusive economic zone.
Launching from the MS Bastion, Maximusian fighters attempted to slow the Daryan incursion and disable transport ships, but the small, underequipped air wings were quickly repelled. Counterattacking with dive bombers of their own, the Daryans forced the Maximusians to retreat under heavy fire. On October 5, another bomber attack disabled the Bastion and several other ships, leaving some of the southernmost Maximusian outlying islands vulnerable to attack by Daryan marines. An isle south of Bjeorg, Bluegill Cove, capitulated to the Daryans on October 10, granting the Empire a foothold in the Maximusian southern archipelago.
