The great space battle of Krokuun was one of the brutal battles that, from the moment Azeroth entered the stars, was destined to go down in history. It was the first time this vigorously developing civilization had launched a large-scale, all-out offensive against the Burning Legion.
The space battle above the Krokuun Plains in the Argus Sector began when the Sargerite Keystone's light vanished and ended four hours later. The defensive formation, made up of 60% of the Argus Sector's fleet, finally collapsed, with losses reaching 75%.

Before that, however, besides tallying casualties and preparing to attack again, they had
