Invasion of Kalkinos

The Invasian of Kalkinos is regarded as the start of the Malzagirt-Flavian War and happened within Year 2653 of the Imperial Calendar. The Hedrod Fleet of the Ashlan Empire, held the Kalkinos Defense Line for five months thanks to the use of gravity nets before the Second Flavian Empire's Moore Fleet deployed crystal breakers that were able to pierce the shields of the defense line. Kalkinos' crystal was severely damaged as a result and the sky island's crystal exploded creating a shock-wave that decimated the Hedrod Fleet. Out of the 300 airships stationed, only 80 survived, 55 of which were captured or destroyed by the Flavian fleet.
:
The fall of Kalkinos reached the Ashlan Council several hours later and the nearby Lukti Fleet was sent to take back the area, they were able to save 25 heavily damaged airships.
