- The McAuliffe Ambush begins. The Kilrathi fleet arrives at McAuliffe. It is four times the expected size, an intelligence failure resulting from an incomplete translation. The battle rages for several days, ending with a sizable number of Kilrathi survivors retreating to regroup and repair. The Terran Confederation fleet is nearly destroyed, but has demonstrated an unexpected ferocity to the invading enemy.
