The Battle of Hestia was a decisive naval battle of the Phoenix Republican Uprising between the combined fleet of Imperial ships led the Grand Duchess Miziuru-Saria and the Jardin Liberation Command. It began on [] of May as the 4th Royal Bannerguard Fleet forced its way through the enemy-held Reunion system to the recently reclaimed stronghold at Bastion. Upon arrival Marshal Askar Michael ibn Ibrahim al-Gramont informed the combined fleet headquarters that the Grand Admiral Fel da Moya, the 4th Princess, had gone to ground in the orbit of the Gas Giant Sven where Jardini light cruisers were attempting to hunt her down. A new operation was put in motion, originally intended as a diversion masking the raid to recover the Grand Admiral, which developed into a pitched battle.
Before the victors could take stock of the situation, Miziuru-Saria unexpectedly opened a wormhole to the Luxor System with hitherto unknown powers. There was some confusion before the disparate elements of the Combined Fleet continued the attack onto the Luxor system, bypassing the intact defenses of the Reunion system still loyal to the Phoenix Republic. The battle of Hestia is considered critical for securing the victory at the Battle of the Broken Kybelle as well as Miziuru-Saria's rise to the Phoenix Throne.
