Reduced to rubble by Euderion on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

The Assault of Nozseca occurred at the second year of the klingon war, and were a significant setback for Federation forces.

Losing its flagship at the battle of Pahvo and having lost another unifying leader, the Klingons were no longer acting as a single force – instead, the twenty-four Houses competed for dominance by seeing which House could destroy the most Federation assets. The attacks were indiscriminate, targeting hospitals, civilians, and food convoys. One of these targets were the Planet Nozseca a more civilian colony with just a small defending force of Starfleet.

Nevertheless, marines on Nozseca under Andorian General Shruth put up a valiant defense as they attempted to engage orbiting spacecraft with their limited surface-based, anti-space weapons. The defending Star Fleet squadron of Portsmith class destroyers and Nelson class scouts had been eliminated quickly, giving the Klingons uncontested ground attack capability from orbit. The defending forces were annihilated by ship-based disruptor attacks, and Klingon soldiers landed, the cities reduced to rubble.
