The Battle of Hell's Reach

The Battle of Hell's Reach occured between the forces of the Blood Corps, lead by renegade Anora Cortus, and the forces of the Blackwell Reavers, lead by their founder and leader Valencia 'Valkyrie' Blackwell. The battle resulted in the near complete annihilation of the Blackwell Reavers pirate organization, leaving only four survivors and the wreckage of the Reavers' mobile base and capital ship. The battle is named after the environment inside the Seo System, a red supergiant (Seo) and several dead planets.
The battle began as a surprise attack by the Blood Corps on the Reavers forces, as they gathered inside the Seo System. Lured there by falsified information, the Reavers were caught off guard by the massive influx of warships under Anora's command. The battle lasted a few hours, as the Blood Corps systematically crippled and eliminated each and every Reavers vessel. The Guillotine was attacked by Anora's own capital ship, the Paragon, before being boarded. Lead by Anora herself, the boarding party killed off all the Guillotine crew that they encountered. Finally, Anora would fight Valkyrie herself in one-on-one combat. Anora would go on to slay Valkyrie on the bridge of the Guillotine, before abandoning her corpse and the Guillotine itself. She and the boarding party would return to her own ship, before jumping away from the system. Thinking that the Reavers had been completely obliterated.
During the battle, four would manage to escape the carnage aboard the Guillotine via an escape pod fitted with a cloaking device. These four were Lauren Blackwell (Valkyrie's daughter), Guillotine chief engineer Zadra Masir, Chester Warren, and an engineering drone named Loudmouth. The pod would be retrieved by Slade Beckwith, leader of the Red Phantoms and close friend of Valkyrie.
