The Battle of Jan was the only major engagement of the Darnussia-Keymon War. It took place in the Migrant's Pass, 55 km off the coast of the small town of Jan in Clenon on the 1 November 3036. The Darnussian and Malivian navies took on the Hutorian Navy and won, therefore breaking the blockade and allowing for attacks against Keymon and Hutori to take place via sea. The Darnussian fleet encountered the Hutori fleet in the early hours of the morning, and engaged. The Malivian fleet, who were close behind, also attacked. Hutori stood strong however, and hit the Darnussians and Malivians hard. After 12 hours of fighting, 6 Darnussian ships, 4 Malivian and 11 Hutorian ships had been sunk, with 4,000 Darnussian dead, 1,500 Malivian and 6,000 Hutori dead. 4 Darnussian ships, 3 Malivian ships and 7 Hutori ships had also been heavily damaged. Around 400 aircraft were also lost, with more than half from Hutori. The remnants of the Hutorian Navy eventually surrendered.

The result was a major victory for Darnussia and Malivia, and a devastating defeat for Hutori. Much of Hutori's navy had been destroyed, and the blockade was broken. Hutori morale collapsed, while Darnussian morale soared. The Battle of Jan truly proved that the tide had really turned, and Keymon was now staring at the face of defeat. With Hutori beaten, and Luthori also joining, unless Keymon could find a new major ally, the end was nearing.
