The Battle
The battle began on the dawn of January 5th, 2409 as forces under Admiral Abraham Gile and Fleetmaster Thalius Yhiale attacked fleets under Admiral Yara Gargan and Admiral David Gemnry in the orbit of Norham. After a brief battle ending with the death of Admiral Yara Gargan, a large ISC and Orion landing force began to assail the planet's surface. They were later met with heavy resistance from an even larger Allied force on the planet. This led to the calling of Central reinforcements and allowed the Allies to regroup their forces. Trevor Keplid gathered the 42nd Scouts to the East of Unomar to support the 6th Scouts and 19th Infantry Corps to their south under General Markus Greene, while the Director launched Blacklight's Cyclops battalion, supported by Guardians, to hold the left and north flanks of the city and the surrounding area.

Blacklight had fallen under a combined ISC and Orion Empire assault and was forced to fall back to the capitol square, Calistans had sent aid but were unable to provide much support. The battle groups fell back little by little as Urban Combat began during the bleak monthlong engagements against the Imperial and Concordium soldiers.

Aftermath
The Aftermath of the Battle of Norham was a total collapse of the Free Peoples of the Milky Way Galaxy during the Second Galactic War, severing the Empire of Calisto from the United Rebellion to Reestablish Freedom and the Blacklight Incorporations.
