Battle of the Imperial Sea (concept)
Happening during the War of All Islands, the Battle of the Imperial Sea is the name affixed to the Aversarian landing on Krehejad. Pitted against the assembled navy of the E'hat'm—a people who had been sailing the high seas since before the Aautokrata had even been created—was the Imperial fleet, assembled from countless Islander flotillas, Legions, and noble entourages. The battle has a well-earned reputation for chaos, as both sides lacked rigid command structures, with individuals Legons and captains having near-complete control of their ships. As a result, once battle was joined, formation broke apart completely as each vessel chose its own individual targets, while Imperial and E'hat'mic Magi decimated entire flotillas.
Soon, the chaos spilled onto the land, as Islander vessels and ambitious Legons rushed ahead to claim the rewards promised to the first to make landfall, resulting in several instances of friendly fire as Aversarian vessels fought for the honor. In an unexpected twist, however, this chaotic landfall would lend the Empire an advantage, as the E'hat'mic fleets who tried to retreat onto the land often found their ports of origin already occupied. The Battle of the Imperial Sea is considered to have ended when the remnants of Iezatha's fleet chose to flee Krehejad, retreating to the southern colony of Ketruna.
