Operation Thunderbolt

Operation Thunderbolt was a Havenite large-scale naval operation against the Manticoran Alliance. 
Launched in 1919 PD, it marked the resumption of hostilities between the Republic of Haven and the Alliance and the beginning of the Second Havenite-Manticoran War.
==Concentration points==
*First Fleet - SXR-136-23 System, located less than forty light-years northwest of Trevor's Star
*Second Fleet - nameless system in the Silesian Confederacy
==Outcome==
With the exception of Trevor's Star, where Admiral Javier Giscard chose to withdraw when confronted with a combined RMN/Grayson defense force, and Silesia, where Admiral Honor Harrington decisively defeated Admiral Lester Tourville's Second Fleet, the Republican Navy captured all the other star systems lost in the First Havenite-Manticoran War. Admiral Hamish Alexander stated that they were back to "square one" with the one exception of controlling the Trevor's Star Terminus.
In the Star Kingdom, the staggering defeat led to the resignation of Prime Minister Michael Janvier, the fall of the High Ridge government and the suicide of First Lord of the Admiralty Edward Janacek.
The losses suffered required an alliance with the Andermani Empire and the annexation of Silesia. ()
