== Battle for Orion Prime ==
The Battle for Orion Prime took place on August 10, 2027, with a surprise attack from the NCMD and Auroria Prime. This battle was also the first public appearance of the Pinnacle-class Star Dreadnoughts.
Shortly after the destruction of Mercular in 2026, the Merculan capital was moved to Orion Prime. On August 10, the NCMD attempted to send a modified A3-Type battleship, previously owned by the FSSR, through warp carrying the NOVA bomb onboard. However, due to the fact that the ship had been modified to serve as a large freighter and had its major structural bulkheads removed, it was unable survive the pressure on the hull as it traveled through warp and collapsed on itself some 40 light years from the Capital District. 
NCMD fleet Dancer and Aurorian fleet Princess, a combined fleet of nearly 30,000 starships soon arrived and began the assault on Orion Prime, focusing their fire on the Merculan city ship Legacy of the Void. Orion Prime's defense fleet immediately engaged the attacking fleet but was severely outnumbered. Within 24 hours, reinforcements arrived in the shape of the 10 new Pinnacle-class Star Dreadnoughts, leading Task Force 53, 70, 81 and 140. Soon after, VEMC forces joined fleet Dancer and Princess in the assault, and Mercular's allies Trronestan, Hyberia and the Shikko Insurgency arrived in the defense of the capital. The fighting ensued with enormous casualties on both sides, with losses exceeding 1,000 capital ships for both forces. Within 1 week, the fighting had ended with the withdraw of the attacking forces.
