GHOST STAR FORTRESS - The Star Army's Second Fleet announced today that in YE 45.4 it had engaged an unknown large force of Mishhuvurthyar in a star system well North of the Astral Cluster in response to an attack on a Star Army scout ship. The fleet's spokeperson told SANDRA that despite responding with a large deployment of Second Fleet forces, the Mishhuvurthyar chose to stay and engage and the two sides fought a battle of attrition resulting in the loss of over one hundred ships one each side. Second Fleet, which has been without a Taisho since YE 45.1 when Eikan Minato was promoted to Chief of Star Army of Operations, has been rebuilding since its near total loss in YE 42 during the Kuvexian War. It is based in the Nataria System and responds to strategic level threats. The recent battle, which has yet to be named, is seen by many as an indicator that the Mishhuvurthyar remnants left after the Second Mishhuvurhtyar are far larger than anticipated and are a major threat to Yamatai.
