====''Hex 1012''====
The sole surviving Aguamalan fleet, ''La Casa de Fieras'', followed the White Whale to the empty space of Hex 1012. Charging past the poorly armed Whai Shepherds, the Aguamalan Hunters launched themselves fully at the Whale in a last ditch attempt to eliminate the dangerous beast. The noble tilt at the White Whale was ultimately a quixotic attack at a far stronger foe. The Whale, tickled by La Casa de Fieras' sensor drones lashed out and crushed the fleet, rendering the research platform inoperable. The remaining ships of the fleet splintered off away from the raging Whale.


By the time the Whai Fleets of the ''Væringi Vipers'' and ''Kaipahua Waimārie'' arrived on the scene, the Aguamalans had absconded.
====Nueva Cuauhtemoc====

====''Nueva Cuauhtemoc''====
Prevented from attacking the world of [[Nueva Cuauhtémoc]] itself by the local defences, the depleted Whai gunboats of ''The Black Ghorāb'' turned to their bread and butter of piracy in the edges of the [[Mentta]] system. Any vessel that wandered too close to the Whai ships were terrorised and plundered for food and supplies. Whai piracy in the system was not to last as response teams from the far reaches Agumalan space readied to combat the threats posed by the whalers.

==Aftermath==
Aguamalan hunting lodges returned to [[Nueva Cuauhtémoc]] empty handed. With their flagships and fleets destroyed or scattered, the hunters were unable to challenge the Whai's escort mission to [[Planet A]]. It however remains uncertain how the ledges will decide to act in the coming months after these troubling events for the [[Aguamalan Syndicate]].
TBD

Whether by luck or strategy, the [[Tahora Whai]] proved the victors on the battle field. No Whai fleets were lost, and while damaged in the conflict, they could be easily repaired or refitted.
