StarCitizen:Battle of Orion

The Battle of Orion was a massed engagement between the United Empire of Earth (UEE) and the StarCitizen:Vanduul that began on 16 February 2712, when thousands of StarCitizen:Vanduul accompanied by a StarCitizen:Kingship poured into Orion from a previously unknown jump point to the system later coded VS-09 "Vulture." The battle marked the first time UEE forces encountered a Kingship.

On 18 February, the UEE was forced to cede the StarCitizen:Orion system to the invading Vanduul forces. This was the first major defeat for the UEE since the temporary loss of the StarCitizen:Idris system in 2542. It is considered by military historians to be a turning point in the ongoing conflict between the UEE and the StarCitizen:Vanduul.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>
