The '''Battle of Asteri''' was a major military engagement between the forces of the [[Ilios Alliance]] and the combined armada of [[Vask Authority]] and [[Vega]]. The battle was fought over control of the Vask Authority battlecruiser "ARMAGEDDON" (which had been released several hours prior in a Vask Authority-owned [[siege station]]), for which the IA was attempting to guard the location until the siege station's window opened. The battle involved a large [[mercenary]] fleet from Vega, and was the only major military engagement in 2024 to involve Vegan forces.
The Battle of Asteri is widely renowned, including by the losing parties of the battle, as one of the most interesting, high-stakes, and enjoyable battles on the server. It was the largest ever battle on [[Horizon's End]], with 9 Ilios Alliance ships fighting 11 Vega/Vask Authority ships, totaling approximately 95,000 blocks.
