Medal Text:
Awarded to participants in the first major engagement in the Thebeka Campaign of YC 120-121, the initial assault on the Ghosts of Kahah citadel in Thebeka and the defense of the armor timer of the PIE Citadel in Dresi.
"I am proud to say that this ranks among the most successful Battleship engagements I have ever commanded, All involved did excellent work, and the Battle of Dresi III will be remembered among the honorable history of PIE battleship engagements. While we certainly can do things better, it is a wonderful return to form for the venerable PIE Golden Fleet. Thank you all for making that happen. I would also like to thank SFRIM and CVA for coming out to help." Admiral Gaven Lok'ri
Additional Comments by Lunarisse:
Taking the offensive, the Astrahaus for the Ghosts of Kahah was sent to its armor timer, and the PIE astrahaus in Dresi was defended against a combined Ghosts of Kahah, Mordor Industries fleet with neutral Nestor Logi from Bleeding Silence. We lost a suspect status Guardian to neutral interference on the initial strike, we then moved to Dresi and engaged their fleet directly once it attacked PIE's Citadel. We destroyed three nestors, an Armageddon, and a Dominix with no losses. This was the last serious threat to loyalist operations in Dresi, drove Mordor from the field and put the Ghosts permanently on the defensive and the armor timer was reduced the next day with no opposition other than a gunner in the Astrahaus. A trivia note, this was the first LUMEN (and SFRIM engagement, in which a Leshak was flown as part of fleet support and it turned out to be the key to breaking the Nestors).
