Battle of Rexias 4

The Battle of Rexias 4 was an early engagement during the Terran-Vasudan War, taking place circa 2323, less than two years into the conflict. Over the course of the battle, the Terran destroyer GTD Goliath was destroyed by Vasudan kamikaze wings in the first known occurrence of this radical maneuver.

The large number of casualties resulting from the loss of the Goliath led the GTA to introduce the Hermes escape pod, which would go on to save many lives during subsequent conflicts.

There is no system named Rexias on the official Volition nodemap. While this is likely a simple error on Volition’s behalf, there are a few possibilities for writers as to the true site of the battle:

- Rexias 4 may be a moon of a larger planet, such as a gas giant or super earth named Rexias.

- Rexias may be a Vasudan name for canonical system.

- The node to Rexias may have collapsed.
