Siege of Fearna (246)

The Siege of Fearna is an ongoing campaign against the rebel city of the same name in County Connacht, which began after the Battle of Castle Bridge on November 20th, 245.
The Siege stalled for several months until a Hybretian fleet, lead by HWS Arthurous and four Sidieros class ironhulks showed up and began shelling the coast, destroying the coastal defense cannons and heavily damaging the captured Ironhulk I Freedom before temporarily withdrawing from battle when land based artillery was re positioned to attack their ships.
With the distraction of the naval attack, Kygonese Forces rushed the southern gate, with the siege finally beginning to turn. Periodic rushes by HWS Arthurous kept the artillery crews in confusion, and Kygonese forces were able to begin to breach the walls. 
A second naval rush on the Freedom was joined by the arrival of a number of Garmanese Royalist vessels escorting the Ironbridge class NWS Monitor, and the Freedom was torn apart by the attacking fleet. With little fear of reprisal, Hybretian vessels resumed shelling the port and cities north end.
With the destruction of the Freedom and Kygonese forces breaching the city, the rebels began to panic, and as the Kygonese finally tore down the remnants of the cities southern defenses, the Hybretian navy had begun incendiary shelling of the port, starting a city wide fire. The Garmanese Royalists forced themselves into port, and the city surrendered immediately.
The fall of Fearna had wide reaching consequences, damaging Rebel morale and breaking the stalemate in County Connacht in favor of the Royalist Alliance. Queen Saoirse ó Mhuirneacháin disappeared sometime prior to or during the siege, and her capture has become the driving factor of the Garmanese war effort.
