ISD 16179 - Battle of Pharos

First engagement of the newly created Imperial Red Company and led by Bassander Lin against the forces of Admiral Marius Whent.

Admiral Marius Whent took over Pharos's democratic government by force and appropriated the Imperial military equipment and weapons meant for the resistance, capturing 300 of Bassander Lin's men in the process, including Hadrian Anaxander Marlowe.

Jinan Azhar and a dozen soldiers attempted to rescue the men and were later assumed to be captured as well.

After Bassander Lin won the engagement in orbit, destroying their fleet and the network of satellites around the planet, a parley with Emil Bordelon then turns sour as both sides fire. As hidden Bordelon men emerge from the treeline, surrounding Lin's team, they escape through the shuttles while Lin and Pravin attempt to escape via the roof of the refinery where Otavia Corvo follows them. It appears that Corvo has betrayed Bordelon and set Marlowe, Azhar and their men free. Corvo asks Lin to shoot her in the shoulder, presumably to return to Bordelon and Whent to continue undermining them. Lin obliges and escapes in a shuttle.
