The '''Attack on New Elysium''' was a decisive naval battle between the [[Concordian Navy]] and [[Oderran Navy]] during the [[Great Intergalactic War]] that preempted the Oderran 3252 counteroffensive, whereby the Oderran navy conducted a surprise and debilitating naval strike against strategic naval base of New Elysium in the Vanguard system. The Oderran Commonwealth's intention was to weaken the defensive posture of the Concordium in the Perseus Arm, allowing for a rapid offensive push into core Concordian territory.
