The Battle of Meridian (known as the Meridian Campaign or Krazny Oktobyr by Imperials) was the expulsion of Renegade Inc forces from the Meridian sector by the Galactic Empire.

Background

Mid Year 9, Imperial Executor Arturus Goth was approached by Aay Zavos, a commander of Renegade Inc. Zavos claimed to represent a number of Renegade personnel who had grown weary of leader Roy Starkiller's supposed lack of communication or direction. Zavos proposed to Goth that he plant transmitters on Renegade planets and outposts then unknown to the Empire, revealing their location and thus their development to the Empire. Goth directed Moff Orphaea Imperium to coordinate this project.

Imperium, seeing greater potential from this opportunity, proposed in the alternative an invasion of Renegade Inc's holdings in the Meridian Sector, using Zavos and his associates to make available necessary security access rights throughout the sector to the Imperial Navy. Presenting this to Goth, the plan received tentative approval.

Preparation

The preparatory stage lasted several months, during which Imperium and Zavos made detailed observations of Renegade locations and patrol routes. In order for any invasion to succeed, Navy forces would have to infiltrate the sector and the planets within without attracting attention from Renegade forces, requiring them to arrive at precise locations at specific times. Admiral Calor Assam was brought onboard as the Navy operational commander.

To aid in this, Imperium requested forces that had been deployed to regions of space operating on a complimentary schedule, to maximise military effectiveness. However, this proved more difficult than first thought, and the task force ultimately deployed to Meridian was understaffed, consisting of small contingents from a range of fleets. Additionally, Imperial resources in the region were limited, forcing the task force to rely only on what it could carry itself. As a result, the plan had to be modified from plans of overwhelming Renegade forces with overwhelming force to a more strategic infiltration and area denial effort.

In the week leading to Day 350, detachments of the task force entered the Meridian Sector, dodging Renegade patrols and arriving at their designated locations.
