The Battle of Garmagas Island, known in Mirselec as Garmagasurna ta Kakobe, was a battle in the Baunariya Archipelago during the Fourth Global War. During this battle the Risevan 4th Division under General Erimis Nerosav, and the 11th Division under General Erimis Asuge, successfully repelled a large-scale invasion of the island by the forces of the Kavenain 9th Division, 16th Division, and the Barisem 22nd Division after an extremely bloody two month fight.
This land battle is often combined with two naval battles, the Battle of the Four Atolls and the Battle of Kaizaruka, and defined as one of the turning points of the Fourth Global War in the Elaspegian Ocean. The extremely bloody but ultimately successful defence of the islands, as well as the successive blows inflicted by the Risevan Royal Navy on its opponents at sea, managed to stem the long-range bombing offensives being launched upon the Risevan capital of Isana throughout the first four years of the war.
Background
Battle
Aftermath
The three successive victories of Risevne over its two staunchest enemies across the Elaspegian Ocean would go a long way towards breaking their ability to strike at the Main Islands, and eventually towards the ability of its allies to supply it across the sea safely.
