The Battle of Shiva (Japanese: シヴァ星域会戦) was the final battle between the New Galactic Empire and the Iserlohn Republic and the New Galactic Empire. The battle saw the first meeting of Julian Mintz and Reinhard von Lohengramm along with the revelation that the Kaiser may be terminally ill as well as the deaths of many key figures for the Iserlohn Republic including Lieutenant General Walter von Schönkopf of the Rosen Ritter and High Admiral Willibald Joachim von Merkatz. It resulted in a truce between the two nations in which Iserlohn Fortress itself was ceded back to the Empire in return for Heinessen being an autonomous democratic republic in a galaxy dominated by the Empire.
History
In 801 UC (3 NIC / 492 IC / 3601 CE), outside of the Iserlohn Corridor a vastly outnumbered Iserlohn force under the command of Julian Mintz drew out the superior fleets of the New Galactic Empire in an attempt to force their way into negotiations with the Kaiser, as Mintz believed that Kaiser Reinhard would only respect force. In a mad dash to the Kaiser, one of the Republic's ships was able to ram the side of the Brünhild and deploy Mintz, along with Commander Olivier Poplin and the Rosen Ritter inside the Kaiser's flagship. A bloody melee ensued as the boarders tried to by time for Mintz to find the Kaiser, who was himself preparing to meet Yang Wen-li's successor.
Meanwhile, being both confused and distraught over not knowing his Kaiser's condition nor being able to intervene and aid in the Brünhild's defence, High Admiral Fritz Joseph Bittenfeld decided to direct his anger and that of the offensive styled Black Lancers towards the rest of the Republic's fleet under the command of Merkatz, who was killed in the process.
A bloodied and battered Mintz eventually made his way to Kaiser's room, where Fleet Admiral Mittermeyer had been doing his best to juggle both the ongoing fleet battle and explaining why the Kaiser was being kept out of view. Struggling to stand before Kaiser Reinhard, Mintz asked for negotiations which was granted. This was immediately announced to all Imperial forces who ceased their offensive against the buckling remnants of the Republic's fleet thus ending the battle and even greater, the war.
