In Y180, the Coalition was trying to stabilize its front after losing ground over the previous three years. A portion of Kzinti space was still in Lyran hands, and the Kzintis desperately wanted to get it back.
The key to holding the sector was the Lyran BATS which supplied and supported the Lyran forces. If this BATS were to be destroyed, the Lyrans would have to fall back.
The Kzintis launched a broad offensive, but the intended attack fleet was unable to break through to destroy the BATS. Just as Admiral Cat-of-Five-Stars was preparing to abandon the operation, a scout-DW observed a shift in Lyran deployments that opened a brief gap in their coverage. The Admiral ordered Captain 1st Rank Cat-of-the-Trees and his heavy battlecruiser to break through with whatever forces were available and attack the BATS
Aftermath[]
Historically, the BATS was destroyed, and the Lyrans did retreat. But perhaps things might have turned out differently if a new and powerful unit had been on its way to the front.
