Battle of Two Suns, 1084
The final battle
between
Imperial forces and the barbarians
in the Fourth
Frontier war. Losses on both sides were heavy, but the
Imperium
held the field and the barbarians were unable to continue their advance
due to their lengthening supply lines. Had the battle gone the
other
way,
the loss of both Yres (1802 Spinward
Marches) and Menorb (1803 Spinward Marches) (the encounter
occuring
midway between those two locations) would have forced the evacuation of
Efate (1705 Spinward Marches) and meant collapse of the entire coreward
end of the Regina subsector.
The battlefield is still posted as a dangerous area,
littered
with debris, and avoided by interstellar transportation.
