First Hyberian War

== The First Hyberian War ==
=== Overview ===
The First Hyberian War was the first of two galaxy wide conflicts against the Hyberian Empire. Although the war was very short, both sides suffered heavy casualties but ended in the defeat of the Hyberians and their retreat from the Milky Way. 
=== Increasing Aggressions ===
For several years, Hyberia had been aggressively expanding into the Milky Way, mercilessly obliterating countless small nations that stood in its way. This aggression worried the leaders of Edulian IV, Mercular and Auroria Prime, who got together and began planning to stop the Hyberian advance. Unfortunately, the news was leaked and made it to Hyberia, which launched a retaliatory surprise attack against the planet of Edulian IV, sparking the First Hyberian War. 
=== War ===
Immediately after the attack, Edulian, Mercular and Auroria Prime launched attack fleets against Hyberia's planets in the Milky Way. Edulian fleets targeted Hyberian shipyards and industry while Merculan and Auroria Priminian ships focused on capturing Hyberian worlds. Merculan Task Force 70, 81 and 140 lead the attack, with several thousand C-type battleships and E-type frigates. Hyberian and Merculan dreadnoughts and battleships engaged in close range combat, flanked by small frigates from both sides. In a matter of weeks, the Hyberians were abandoning their planets and fleeing, destroying everything they could so that their infrastructure wouldn't fall into enemy hands. 
=== End of War ===
By the end of the First Hyberian War, the Hyberians had retreated back to their home in the Magellanic Cloud and left behind their planets in the Milly Way. Hyberian planets were taken by Edulian IV, which later became the Greater Terran Republic.
