Operation Albatross was a Trinovantan naval operation that took place between July 22nd and July 24th during the 3rd Ostlichtor-Trinovantum War. The operation planned to lure the powerful Seestreitkräfte Kampfgruppe Krause into the open ocean and destroy it in a quick and decisive manner. This battle is particularly notable as it involves the first combat use of nuclear artillery in Pardes, which resulted in the complete destruction of Kampfgruppe Krause. The significant and lasting damage done to the ships, personnel, and local environment that occurred during Operation Albatross affected at least two international treaties: the Treatise on the Conduct of Warfare for the Civilized Nations and the Limitations on Nuclear Artillery Treaty.
