The Second Battle of Sweetwater was a naval battle of the Long War between ships of the Free Star League Navies led by Captain-General Gadsen and the [] Long Range LMC Expedition, lasting from the 5th to the 12th of January 5323 AE in the Sweetwater System.

In sharp contrast to the uncoordinated raid on Luxor, the Ur-Real Battle Planetoids fought in groups of three with the clear object of claiming the Great Ark. The initial clash resulted in the loss of the Second Core when the crew of the SRAN New Jersey self-destructed in a heroic last-ditch effort to prevent Ur-Real boarders from capturing the battleship.

The eventual result was a resounding victory for Captain-General Gadsen and the ideal of strong Federal Navy, but not without its consequences. The loss of the Second Core further complicated the League's already troubled relations with its natural ally the Jardin Republic.
