News Report following the battle:

"In what is being hailed as one of the greatest single recent victories of the war, a small squadron under the command of well-known Captain Lord Zuko, consisting of the Frigate TSS Paladin(Captain Lord Zuko, TC KS DSC), The Corvette TSS Swift(Commander Lord Archer, TC KS DSC DFC), and the gunboats TSS Fury(Lt. Doric, EGM) and TSS Hope(Lt. Salaan) discovered a large squadron of Azuli vessels at a secret anchorage deep in Tyrin space, in a little-known and unihabited system called Grafton-223. In a stealth attack, Captain Zuko's squadron was able to decimate the Azuli force of nearly six times their strength, destroying ten ships in total, including three cruisers, four frigates, and two corvettes and a gunboat. In addition, five vessels surrendered and were taken as prizes of war, including a frigate, two corvettes, a gunboat and a scout. The Admiralty reports that they are investigating the Azuli motives for the Azuli force's presence at such a tactically advantageous location, and have advised that patrols in that system have been stepped up to prevent it's recurrence."
