Defense of Earth

The Defense of Earth was among the final battles of the Solar Sapphirian War, it was the last desperate stand by the UTSE and their coalition of allies against the Notorious Zvalhein Squadron of the Third Shrine Republic.

By this point the UTSE's entire Navy was composed of what participated in this battle, all of their great fleets had been lost over the last 6 years of fighting but a few stragglers.

The battle was partially manipulated by Syam Blune who intentionally tipped off the TSR to attack the Earth to fall for a trap he had set up with the allied forces, the battle though initially seeming close or even hopeless, eventually turned completely in the favor of the coalition forces, once Matt Tygore managed to warp aboard the Command ship *Unlicthe* taking control of the vessel and breaking the TSR's damaged lines to catastrophe.

Eventually the remainder of the TSR fleet was wiped out by the rest of the allied forces as retreat had been made impossible thanks to Rift Canceler technology.
