Overview

The Earth Defense Campaign of 2668 was the Kilrathis attempt at settling the conflict once and for all by launching a massive invasion Confederation space with Earth as it's final target. The assault was built around the newly constructed massive Hakaga Fleet Carriers. The Confederation hastily rallied it's fleets and attempted to halt the advance at the Battle of Sirius but was forced to retreat with catastrophic military and civilian losses done to Sirius and its protective forces. The remainder of the Confederation fleets made a last stand at the Battle of Earth and finally managed to rout the Kilrathi Hakaga-fleet. Before that, critical defense cities of Earth had been severly damaged by anti-matter rockets. In the end the campaign resulted in a Kilrathi tactical defeat but the Confederations infrastructure was critically damaged with massive civilian casualties and it's defence fleets crippled.
