Imperial New Calendar Year 734.
The Imperial Expeditionary Fleet and the Galactic Milky Way's three major power fleets engaged in the second large-scale battle at the twelve stars of the New Federation border.
The battle lasted sixteen standard Galaxy Days, with both sides primarily engaging in standoffs and probing tactics, continuously raising the stakes for the frontline fleets in an attempt to break the opponent's morale.
During the standoff, the empire's hero, the White Ghost, Honorary Earl, and then Imperial Expeditionary Army Commander Hanton delivered a speech to the Imperial Expeditionary Corps. After the speech, the main cannon of a heavy battleship from the empire's Fifth Combat Cluster fired first, igniting the Twelve Stars Battle.
In the Twelve Stars Battle, over a hundred thousand medium to large-sized ships were deployed by the Four Great Powers of the Milky Way.
