The Battle of Hestia was a week-long naval battle of the Phoenix Republican Uprising between the combined fleet of Imperial ships led the Grand Duchess Mizuiru-Saria and the Jardin Liberation Command. The 4th Royal Bannerguard Fleet forced its way through to the Bastion system, recently reclaimed by the Grand-Duchess Miziuru-Saria, through the enemy-held Reunion system. Its commander Askar Michael ibn Ibrahim al-Gramont informed the combined fleet 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 soon put in motion, originally intended as a diversion masking the raid to recover the Grand Admiral, which developed into a pitched battle.

The battered but victorious forces continued the attack onto the Luxor system, winning the final victory over the Phoenician Revolutionary Army at the Battle of the Broken Kybelle.
