This is Station Commander Grezzko Desro of Dezendyan 5! We are under attack by Vás ships! Requesting immediate support!
—Grezzko Desro, commander of space station Dezendyan 5 requesting help from Dezendyan 1 during the Vás' hit-and-run attack on Dezendyan 5, which escalated the feud to a war
The Vás hit-and-run attack on Dezendyan 5 was a hit-and-run attack by the House of Vás' fleet against Dezendyan 5, a space station belonging to the House of Dezendyan and one of there transport bases.
The battle was quite a short one as it was only to prove the House of Vás was ready to fight an aggressive feud against the House of Dezendyan. The Family master of the House of Dezendyan, Mikko Dezendyan, was highly annoyed by this attack which he saw as the breaking of an unoffical truce between the Houses of Vás and Dezendyan, in which they tried to smear each other and damage or destroy each other's business, but not to fight each other.
The battle was short, but about half-way through the battle the N'Akkiarlian and Ingzan-Bregaran navies came to help, since the House of Dezendyan was a member of the Imperial Tripartite Alliance.
Planet-Wreckers inbound! Its our N'Akkiarlian allies! Send them a greeting message!
—Station Commander Grezzko Desro, commander of Dezendyan 5 upon seeing N'Akkiarlian battleships enter the battle
Near the end of the battle, the huge Dezendyan Home Fleet, which usually defended Dezendyan 1 station, headquaters of the Dezendyan Corporation, arrived, only to see the last remaining Vás ships escape into hyperspace.
Aftermath[]
Damn the Vás! Damned sneak attackers! We had an unoffical truce where we wouldnt fight each other! But them cowards had to break it with a sneak attack, didnt they? Well they will regret it! I will conquer them! They will serve me!
—Mikko Dezendyan after the attack
The attack did little more than annoy the House of Dezendyan, especially the family master, Mikko Dezendyan, who was furious at the Vás' "sneak attack", he swore he would conquer the House of Vás and make them his servants.
As a member of the Imperial Tripartite Alliance the House of Dezendyan was immediatly supported by there Ingzan-Bregaran Empire and N'Akkiarlian Star Empire allies.
In response to this the Allied Armies Against Ingzan-Bregaran Imperialism, who had just started a rebellion against the empire, formed an alliance with the House of Vás, the feud had grown into a full-scale war.
Mikko Dezendyan quickly ordered the Home Fleet back to Dezendyan 1, fearing the hit-and-run attack a mere feint for an assault on Dezendyan 1, the headquaters of the House of Dezendyan, losing the station would cripple Dezendyan forces and operations through-out the galaxy.
Quickly, get the fleet back to D-1, this attack could be a diversion, a feint, for an attack on D-1!
—Mikko Dezendyan to Home Fleet Master Zedkro Dezendyan, ordering the Home Fleet back to Dezendyan 1
