Battle of Beta Pictoris



The Battle of Beta Pictoris is widely considered the first battle of the First Intergalactic War, the battle took place in 2468.

Battle Details
By 2468 a Terran naval task group had been deployed to protect human trade routes in the region, and the Confederation Diplomatic Corps had made overtures to the Aglestch Collective about maintaining trade and diplomatic contact apart from Sh’daar oversight.

The disastrous Battle of Beta Pictoris was the equivalent, in human eyes, of reaching out to shake hands and pulling back a bloody stump.

The infant planetary system of Beta Pic had been just sixty-three light years from Sol, the furthest humans had yet ventured from their homeworld.

Fleet Details
The major reason the battle was considered disastrous was most likely the fact that of the eight capital ships deployed, only one barely survived the battle.
