We're going to name the action where the Emperor returned from exile and fought the Usurper's combined militia/military force in the Apex-East system. Actual battle starts in From Ruins, Chap 10, but set-up begins before it. [1]
Setup
Second has taken his "scouting party" and attacked the Alliance, and the Twelveworld Lord has taken his fleet back to the Twelveworld. This leaves the forces still massed in Apex-East masterless, so the Emperor decides to go there immediately, and figure out the details on the way.
Events
Fight in Space
When they learn of Second's treachery, the system lords still at Apex-East want to leave for the Alliance, while the Navy wants to wait for orders. Thus, the Emperor's forces arrive into a firefight between the naval forces and the militia of the system lords.
The militia is already reduced: they have either snuck off to hunt in the Alliance, or they have gone to the Throneworld to reinforce the Usurper. Some navy ships declare their obedience to Apex-Navy (whom they believe to be the Usurper), but some draw back from the fight, awaiting the outcome so they can join the winning side.
The Silhouette stays Dusted during the fight, and uses Uuvek's link to the flagship's data to do some intelligence gathering, creeping around the edges of the firefight. They notice that some of the navy ships are not just hanging back, but deserting. Throughout the battle, ships use the distraction to disappear. Six hundred ships go missing while the Silhouette is keeping track.
When the battle ends, the Emperor reveals himself and broadcasts new orders: “To all Chatcaava of the Apex-East system: You will stand down and accept your assignments to our battle fleet, there to return to the throneworld to oust the Usurper who has betrayed the Navy’s ideals and turned Chatcaava against Chatcaava. This order I deliver to you personally. [...] I am Kauvauc Ueneuvin, first Emperor of that name, true Emperor and true Apex-Navy. All those who challenge my authority will be answered. Follow and rise. Defy me… and I will meet you on the dueling field.” [1]
