Battle of Ebucrosie

The **Battle of Ebucrosie** was an interstellar engagement involving 232 vessels from three different allegiances; The Commonwealth, Yaanari League and Mirovandian Hegemony. The battle was fought primarily between the Commonwealth's Task Force Manticore and the Yaanari League's Gror'cash Star Hunters, in a heated confrontation that lasted over 5 hours at the Ebucrosie System. The battle came to an end as a Commonwealth victory, consolidating its dominance over the Yaanari during the Commonwealth-Yaanari Intervention War.

## Prelude

Commonwealth intervention followed, as a result of the Galactic Entente efforts to contain the Yaanari fleet failed at the 2nd Battle of Avaconea.

Upon entry into conflict. Task Force Manticore was order to lay siege to the Yannari world of Thrus-Sanguur, to establish a foothold into Yaanari space.

The Battle of Thrus-Sanguur saw light Yaanari resistance towards Commonwealth forces.

After Yaaanri Resistance was crushed. Manticore was ordered to move to Frishac in Avaconea to laid siege to the planet, although Aspinaca didn't have troops to maintain a garrison and move with Manticore.

To fix the issue, Aspinaca armed newly freed Yaanari slaves to keep the populace from rebelling.

Taking advantage of the situation Yaanari admiral Midlosec ordered his fleet to move on Thrus-Sanguur to cut off Aspinaca, and prepare a counterattack with over 15 million Mirovandan troops.

Notified of the Yaanari moving towards Aspinaca. Admiral Satayesh Ibrahim ordered the fleet to turn back, rather than continue with a offensive.

Due to the Commonwealth lacking wormhole stations through Yannari space and Manticore's dreadnought slowing them down, it took 6 months to reach Thrus-Sanguur by that time the planet was already being bombarded.
