[[ | Intelligence learned that Admiral Doenitz had been assembling forces in System 663, a white star system with 5 planets orbiting, the last one supporting intelligent life at a pre-industrial level. It was likely that this would be a jump off point to other major Federation worlds as it was in striking distance of [[Andor]]. Quickly, a battle group was assembled to assess the danger and take action if necessary. The USS Augustus commanded by Susan Allen was rerouted to the system in 2406 with a fleet of 14 ships with Lieutenant [[Edward Wolfe]] as the Strategic Operations Officer. It was soon discovered that they would be up against Doenitz's 27 vessels, many of which newer designs than those in the Augustus battle group. For a period, reconn took place. Finally, a widescale battle ensued on 2406.02.05 after it was discovered that Doenitz was mining the inhabited planet of mineral wealth and using the people of the planet to do it, thus violating the [[Prime Directive]]. While Doenitz's forces were stopped, 9 of the 14 vessels were destroyed in the fray and the Augustus heavily damaged. With the level of damage sustained, it took the Augustus 7 months to reach [[Starbase Geneva]]. This battle was largely seen as a [[Pyrrhic Victory]] by the [[52nd Fleet]]. | ||
