Battle of Haven

The Battle of Haven, The Ides of December Massacre, The Kygonese Clusterfec, the Western Disaster, Freicrich's Folly, or the Devestation was an unmitigated Naval Disaster that occurred on December 14th, 242. Despite an early promise of driving the Gretian fleet off, the Kygonese Armada made a tactical blunder which resulted in them being encircled by the 26 vessels in the First Attack Squadron, and the 29 reinforcements of the Hybretian Occupational Fleet.
As the illegally constructed Kygonese fleet lay burning and HMIV Empress Elizabeth arrived, destroying the Kygonese flagship, Friedrich Kaiser ordered the Capital destroyed, leveling Haven, despite the Gretian Navy having stated their intention to occupy, not annihilate, the city. The act drew the shock and anger of the Empire of Kordowyn and the other allies, and Friedrich was stripped of all military titles, and command of Kygonese forces was split between Generalia Vina Korza and Daelin I of Hybretia.
