Glimmer is at it again!
In the final stages of the Nexan Civil War, in the year 905, Glimmerite ships appear on the horizon at the colony of Ruaumoko. Mid-way islands between Glimmer and her colony of Starburst.
27 Glimmerite Ironclads, lead by the good ship Aurora Ranger, approach the archipelago that had been scalded by civil war. But 10,000 Nexan forces, and two and a half dozen battered old ships.
They first clashed at the city of Coldwater. This would set the tone for the rest of the conflict, as though the Glimmerites were outmanned, the Nexans were laughably, horrifically outgunned.
Little more than an hour passed before Nexus Red and 12 other Nexus ships sank. Only one Glimmerite Ironclad was damaged: due to boiler failure. The other Nexan ships grabbed what soldiers they could from the city of Coldwater and ran.
Very quickly, the Nexans were overrun in Ruaumoko, and resorted to hit-and-run tactics. Their sails made them fast, but the Glimmerite armor prevented any lasting damage from being done. New Treasureton fell too. A little over a thousand Glimmerites died in these first two assaults, but Nexan casualties were almost triple that.
The battles over the Minor peninsula took little over a month, but the Nexus was thoroughly walloped. In the end, the Nexans resorted to a tactical retreat – to the Nexan Homeland, to finish fighting in the war.
Artillery pieces were dragged into the ocean, and ruined for all time. Fires were started in cities, but the cities of Key East and New Providence soldiered on regardless of the damage. The Nexans were forced out, losing 4,404 men of their 10,000, with 596 captured and 16 of their outmatched ships sunken.
The Glimmerites lost 1,538. And not a single ship.
[M]: This is part of the Nexan-Glimmerite Colonial war. The Nexans were laughably outgunned, and all of this was predetermined.
On a side note, I'm sorry for the lack of flavor and the lack of a second post today, but I'm kinda tired because of work today.
