The Ninth Battle of Iserlohn (Japanese: 第9次イゼルローン攻防戦) was an engagement between forces of the Galactic Empire, under High Admiral Oskar von Reuenthal, and the Iserlohn Garrison Fleet, under Admiral Yang Wen-li.
History
On November 20th, 798 UC (489 IC / 3598 CE), Imperial High Admiral Oskar von Reuenthal, along with Admirals Helmut Lennenkampf and Cornelius Lutz, led a fleet of 36,000 warships against Iserlohn Fortress. It was a diversionary measure, as the bulk of the Imperial Fleet was actually going to enter the Fezzan Corridor, annex the Dominion of Fezzan, and proceed to invade the Free Planets Alliance from there.
