The Sack of Terra
Submitted by donsakers on Sat, 01/25/2020 - 6:55pm
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.
The Empress withdrew to Laxus, which became the new Capital of the Empire.
Over a period of tendays, the attackers were defeated (mostly through valiant efforts of the Terran Home Guard), and Terra was restored to self-rule -- but Laxus remained the Capital.
