Battle of Caspar

For a long time, the Interim Ruling Council of the Empire, now under the control of Bacharan Valak (soon to be coronated Emperor), had been planning to invade and annex the Caspar Democratic Union, which spanned several systems.

Under the command of Jarl Rellik, an Imperial fleet invaded Caspar itself, without any declaration of war. The conflict in space did not last very long, the might of the Imperial Navy easily bested the CDU Navy and the Empire soon initiated a blockade.

Ground troops were deployed to the surface of the planet, where the Empire would be drawn into a lengthy campaign. Eventually, the Imperials withdrew and signed a non-aggression pact with the Authority.
