Military/War
Fraternization
From Handbook for New Personnel
Imperial Navy, TE 321 Edition
In military terms, “fraternization” was defined as personal,
nonprofessional relationships between officers and enlisted
personnel, or within the chain of command. Fraternization was
typically prohibited in most military organizations of the past.

Geled-Natal War begins

Battle of Laxus
Patalanian attack on Laxus is repelled. Patalanian incursions into Sol/Laxus Province cease.
Home Guards
In addition to regular Imperial Navy protection, each Imperial planet housed a Home Guard unit, composed primarily of citizens of that planet and charged with last-ditch protection of the planet.
These Home Guard units varied in size and equipment, but always included several starships and access to weapons. Home Guard units were under the command of the Navy, not local authorities.
The Sack of Terra
After the Battle of Karphos in TE 361, the Empire continued to weaken. In TE 361-380 Patala took over much of the Transgeled. On 26 August 381, Patalanian forces made a surprise raid against Terra, defeated TERRAD, and sacked New York and other Terran cities.
Battle of Karphos
Patalanian Union forces struck from bases near BDA Tr#ska, bypassing the Anitweta Leap and surprising Imperial forces at Karphos. The battle was a ringing victory for the Union, and the first major military defeat suffered by the Empire.
