The Battle of Deneb lasted at least 72 hours and was one of the bloodiest and most costly engagements during the NTF Rebellion. The turning point of the battle was the intervention of the GTD Aquitaine and GVD Psamtik. The Cygnus Prime invasion was a massacre in which many NTF fighters destroyed escaping transports. However, the destruction of the NTD Jacobus soon changed the path of the battle and the NTF began to withdraw from the system.

The most important part of the battle was the fact that Admiral Bosch was present during a cargo depot raid. However, Bosch's warship, the NTF Iceni, escaped to Sirius soon after being discovered by a GTVA fighter wing.
