The **Battle of Myrum** was the first battle of the Ciriban Gulf Conflict, fought from the 11th of November 2230 till the 6th of January 2230, between the United Nations of Earth and the First Voor Confederation. The battle took place in the Myrum System. Despite taking Classis 1 Virtua by surprise, the USN task force was unable to tie down the fleet before it could withdraw in relatively good order. The Myrum System was captured by the United Nations of Earth, and the northern routes into the UNE's core worlds was cut off.

## Events

**Battle of Myrum**, Battle of Media, First Battle of Swur, Battle of Kastaba, Battle of the Mog, Battle of the Break, Second Battle of Swur, First Battle of Exedor, Second Battle of Exedor, Battle of Ximpok, Battle of Broken Horns

## Background

The Unified Solar Navy command had always been worried of being cut off from the core worlds in the event of war with the First Voor Confederation. A preventive action had been planned to secure the northern routes into the Binami and Sol sectors since 2223. When diplomatic relations broke down in 2230 a task force of the Home Fleet and Bravo Fleet under Grand Admiral Tyson Vol was already assembling in the Nomotar System.

## Battle

   The attack commenced at 0748, 11th of November 2230 Solar time. Home Battle Force and Bravo Force One jumped in just outside of Myrum Station, whilst the Home Carrier Force and Bravo Force Two dropped in behind Myrum IV, a gas giant. Classis 1 Virtua was caught completely by surprise as it was still assembling in the fleet and was spread well out of formation.

Whilst they had a significant advantage Grand Admiral Tyson Vol realized quickly that he was significantly outgunned. He made the decision to focus most of his assets towards taking Myrum Station, detaching squadrons of smaller craft to harass the isolated squadrons.

The Voor battlenet was overwhelmed and took minutes to process the overlapping reports of contacts across the fleet. Legatus Legionis Juri Lothrani was alerted and rushed to the Primus Hiverion which was docked at the station. However it would take 6 minutes for him to get aboard her ship and access the situation properly. Praefectus Sectioni Sapran Vai quickly realized the seriousness of this assault, and began organizing ad hoc squadrons to screen the main forces until they could regroup.

In the process of retreating USN corvettes managed to inflict surprising amounts of damage onto the Battle Cruisers and Heavy Cruisers of Legatus Legionis Juri Lothrani's Fleet. Due to this instead of risking a full scale engagement she chose to withdraw, and re-evaluate the capability of smaller USN ships.

## Aftermath

The damage for both sides Capital Ships was minor at best.
