Events
Wrecking of the Fleet
After the fall of Kartika, the order went out for those vessels of the Odoneran Fleet and Kilikas Fleet that could not be sailed out of Telmar to be scuttled, and also for the naval yard there to be wrecked, as the Eriadun Yards had previously been as the Red Army advanced on that city. The Naval Academy at Varyakivon had already largely been evacuated to Ilánova (and later to New Ardmore) and many of its facilities trashed and materials burned to prevent their use by the Kirosocialists.
After reunification, it was discovered that there was a darker side to the Wrecking of the Fleet, involving the executions and assassinations of Naval personnel of high-rank or considerable technical skill who were suspected of disloyalty.
Battle of Ilánova
After the eviction of Federalist forces from the eastern seaboard, the island province of Ilánova was stacked with retreating Federalist troops, ships, and refugees. The island had enormous strategic value and could have been a staging groups for an early Federalist counteroffensive against east coast population centres, but lost in an upset victory to an inferior Socialist force due to a series of monumental blunders by Gen. Whiggus McDickus.
