The Battle of the Yellow Star was a major space engagement of the Great War, fought on [insert date], which saw an allied force of Asadal-Covasnan and House Walmas ships attack the Yashiman 1st Fleet anchored at the Sea of Yellow Star. Under the command of Admiral Yares Abdurakhman-Avtobachi and Prince Karl Walmas, the combined forces of the Transilibrat Communion and House Walmas together successfully scuttled or captured every Yashiman battleship present in the star system before any could escape. The catastrophic losses galvanized widespread revolts in Yashima, which soon led to the collapse of the Shogunate and the restoration of Imperial rule.

It is one of the single most decisive space battles of the Great War, possibly the only battle where the majority of a beaten fleet's battleline was comprehensively destroyed in a single engagement.

The battle was heavily propagandized and soon became an element of the Yuhwan 'Unconquered Fleet' mystique. However, as the respective allies published more material alarming differences in the official accounts began to emerge. Post-war inquiries have raised major public questions in the Transilibrat Communion as to whether the Abdurakman-Avtobachi almost led the allied fleet to disaster, saved only Karl Walmas, and the extent to which a more honest recollection had been covered up by the cosmonaval establishment. The debate continues to this day.
