Quarto
Unknown Enemy
Hmm, I don't think the first one qualified as a battle either - it was an event inspired by the Doolittle Raid, which was, you know, a raid.The Battle of Kilrah entry is specifically talking about the first major Confed penetration to the Kilrah system.
On a sidenote, I just had a read of the article you linked to, and I just have to gripe about it . It's factually inaccurate, and painful to read. It doesn't make the link between the Tarawa raid and the events taking place at Vukar Tag, instead implying that Vukar Tag was merely something that took place at the same time. It doesn't explain that the mission at Kilrah was a decoy operation, where the Tarawa's success wasn't really expected nor required. It actually claims that the Tarawa was chosen because the mission "require some of the finest ships and soldiers Confed had to offer" - which would actually imply that the Tarawa, with its fresh and still-untried crew would be the absolute last ship to be considered for this mission .
...And then there's all the "fameds" - the "famed TCS Tarawa" (which was not famous at all, and was sent specifically because it was expendable), the "famed pilot Jason Bondarevsky" (who was not famous at all, since his career was really still just taking off - and who, judging from the article, has no rank at this time, being a mere "pilot"), the "famed TCS Concordia" (yes, yes, the Concordia was famous... but urgggh!). The "sadlies", "fortunatelies" and similar emotion-laden words are also irritating - they have no place in a historical article.
