Battle of Bryant

The Battle of Bryant was a battle fought between the Royal Manticoran Navy and the Solarian League Navy in the Bryant System during the Solarian League's Operation Buccaneer in late 1922 PD. ()
== Prelude ==
In an attempt to stem the tide of independent star systems aligning themselves with the Grand Alliance, the Solarian League Navy, at the direction of the Mandarins, began a strategy of deliberately destroying the orbital and deep space industrial infrastructure of those systems as a message to anyone that might decide to side with the GA.
== Order of Battle ==
=== Royal Manticoran Navy ===
* A task group
=== Solarian League Navy ===
* A task force - Vice Admiral Gomez, CO
== Course of Battle ==
Upon arriving in the independent Bryant System, Vice Admiral Gomez was met by six Manticoran cruisersUnits lighter than Edward Saganami-class vessel., who exchanged long-range missile fire with the SLN force only long enough to cover the retreat of two Manticoran freighters before departing the system themselves.
== Aftermath ==
System President McGillicuddy reaffirmed his star nation's neutrality, but Gomez nonetheless carried out his orders to the letter; he did, however, leave the Bryantese time to completely evacuate their orbital habitats.
