Overview

The Battle of Talon was a conflict that took place during the FedCom Civil War on the moon of Talon, in the Wernke system. Once the initial flashpoints of the Civil War had cooled, leaders began to see that they were in for a longer struggle and sought to consolidate their holds over critical objectives, such as refineries, resource extraction sites, and, as on Talon, factory complexes. The Kallon Industries factories on the moon were considered of great value both to the Loyalists and to Duke George Hasek, who had sought to remain neutral. The resulting battle, as with many clashes in the Civil War, was drawn out, bloody, and resulted in severe losses.
