Battle of Cordoan III (2642)

The Battle of Cordoan III in 2642 was a battle during the Great War. It is well-known as one of the only major defeats of the Terran Navy during the war. Whilst the Terran Third Armada was heavily outnumbered, it managed to inflict heavy casualties on the Ur-Han Royal, Second and Fifth Fleets. It was also able to nearly wipe out the Ur-Han volunteer corps made-up of civilian volunteer-ships. The Terran Armada was however forced to retreat and later withdraw from the war altogether after its flagship, the Cleopatra's Eye, was heavily damaged and destroyed during the retreat. 
The Ur-Han commander, Count Mokin-ma was praised as a war-hero for the rest of the war. After the Ur-Han capitulated, Mokin-ma was forced to surrender to Tesrat forces. He was imprisoned, and transferred to the Terran Federation in 2650, and judged as a war-criminal on little to no basis. He was later sentenced to death. The Federation tried to suppress his existence during the Federation's occupation of the Ur-Han after the war. This however drastically backfired, and the Count has been praised as a war-hero since the Terran general withdrawal of 2685.
