History

2320

Reiss was the sight of the first battle of the Hawking Systems' secession from the American Union when a fleet of 6 Statesmen class ships commanded by read admiral Wilma Westmoreland arrived from the Atlantica system to assert control of the Superluminal Engine ( SLE ) on Reiss. They were met by the Edward Deming, whose crew used a combination of drones, planet-side lasers, and electronic warfare to destroy or capture the attacking ships.
