Battle of Taris

The Battle of Taris was a military engagement between the forces of the Hybro-Gorathic Empire and the rebel Kingdom of Taris. The battle was a disaster, with VST Felrik III landing a shot on HWS Epicheris's command deck, killing almost the entire upper command of the Hybretian Royal Navy. King Daelin I lead an attempted ground assault, which failed due to upgrades in defenses to the Citadel.
During the battle, four Hybretian vessels were sunk, and three seriously damaged. A coup was launched in New Hybris, which seized control of the Royal Mansion. The Reinstated Imperial Diet declared Basilean Emperor of Hybretia.
