In the wake of the Imperial Civil War and the Battle of Mutanda, the Empire sought to wipe out the Griffons Alliance. Failure to capture Grinndal slowed the Imperial advance, but nevertheless, Pride-1 was to be targetted and destroyed. Attacking in two large waves, the first one led by Danik Kreldin, the second by Salin Fawzy, the Empire brought a massive fleet to bear on the space station. From SW1ki, a Wikia wiki.
