Battle of New Cyprus (L'Uniona Homanus)

Background
After the conquest of Hibernia and Caledonia by General Jacobus Zaragonus, who later became Emperor Jacobus, the trade networks between these areas came into question. The companies of Britannia chiefly Major Ferrum Britanniae, which was the largest Britannia Iron and Steel manufacturer, sought to give the Britannia government control of this network and to do this they would need a military post between all three provinces. The island of New Cyprus as it was then called was a perfect target and would prove not onnly a good source to control trade but also an impressive naval installation. The Britannia government it should be mentioned was almost entirely controlled by the Major Ferrum Company and their investments supported much of hte industries and politicians of that area.

In Caledonia and Hibernia their respective legislatures saw the way that Major Ferrum exchanged the good of the people with the good of their company. Many of the Major Ferrum leaders did not live in the Province of Britannia at all and most of the taxes levied in Britannia at this time were on the poor and not this large and wealthy company. The Caledonians and Hibernians were a simple people but they could see this and understood that the Province of Britannia was not free or glorious as it presented itself.

The Battle
The actual conflict on this island was not very impressive at first. It was led by Soletius Africanus, descendent of Scipio Africanus, who lived in caledonia and lived there after he and Jacobus conquered it. He would gather strength with investments from both Hibernia and Caledonia and promised many of the men that were enlisted a land grant in these new Provinces. Hired by the Major Ferrum company was the General Lutetius Cimber who made a living off of managing the mines on the outskirts of Londinium. He was a General and had an army but it was not controlled by the government of Rome and instead operated under his rule independently. Lutetius Cimber was a tactics based man and had studied in the Military academies of Italia and Carthage. It is because of this that he was able to decimate the inexperienced men of Hibernia and Caledonia.

The Battle was an example of how divided the Empire was and General Jacobus, who became a Senator after the conquest of Calednia and Hibernia, remarked about how it proved the need for serious reform in the Empire. In response to this Jacobus and the Roman Legions moved in and put down both sides. The Island of New cyprus was untimately given to Britannia but there were serious changes in the aftermath. These would be the real definition of this battle and would be what is remembered in the future.
