Battle of Arctic Macon

The Battle of Arctic Macon took place in December 3297 during the Davostag Civil War and was the first major engagement between royalist factions. After the defeat of the Satanic Republicans, the royalist factions disagree on how to divide Davostag territory. The House of Zachary royalist fleet engaged the House of Thor fleet for supremacy of the Arctic Macon Ocean. This would cut off supplies between the Thorian stronghold of Davograd and the mainland. The House of Zachary was successful in keeping the main Thorian fleet at bay, but within two years the Thorians started building ships off the coast of northern Darkuth. This would be the first and last naval engagement between the two sides.

First Day
Both sides had confiscated SRP regime ships that had been neglected and in disrepair. Along the way, the Zacharian fleet suffered constant leaks and and engine failure. The two sides tested the other sides strength and resolve with harassing patrol boats with few casualties. A Thorian submarine hit a Zacharian cruiser sinking it.



Second Day
The Thorian and Zacharian aircraft carriers launched fighters against each other's fleets. Using sonar, both fleets suffered two submarines destroyed by aircraft. Destroyers on both sides were unsuccessful in stopping bombing raids. At the end of the battle both sides lost two destroyers and one aircraft carrier.



End Result
Several ten thousand men on both sides were lost in the battle. Survivors quickly froze in the arctic water or became shark victims. The Thorian fleet pulled back to Davograd while the Zacharian fleet retreated back to Darkuth.
