====Wave 3 - Naval Battle of Bikini Atoll====
In December of 3099, Clan Ghost Bear would dispatch a naval task force headed up by their WarShip the ''[[Rasalhague]]'' to hunt down suspected Draconis Combine WarShips. The Draconis Reach, a region near the Dominion contained an unnamed star system where intelligence reports project the DCS ''[[Amber Lotus]]'' was operating as escort for the Factory Ships ''[[Yamato (Individual Yamato-class WarShip)|Yamato]]'' and ''[[Ryū]]''. The System code named [[w:Bikini Atoll|Bikini Atoll]], was a former [[SLDF]] testing grounds. The Draconis Combine commonly used the planetless star system for its vast raw materials in asteroid belt around a white star. In April, the Ghost Bear Naval Task force which had assembled was given orders to destroy the WarShip and the Factory vessels. By 18th of December, the ''Rasalhague'' and flotilla of JumpShips and Pocket WarShips would arrive and begin their attack against the Combine vessels. The Ghost Bears would split their Stars of ''[[Vanir]]''-class Pocket WarShips in two groups. A pair of Pocket WarShip Stars would accompany the ''Rasalhague'' who would engage the ''Inazuma''-class Corvette flotilla and the ''Yamato'', while the remaining ships would concentrate on ''Ryū''.

The initial engagement would be one-sided, the ''Amber Lotus'' and its three ''[[Okinawa (DropShip class)|Okinawa]]''-class [[DropShip]]s would be wiped out, while the two Factory Ships would fling themselves into the star to avoid capture.  The loss would trigger a scramble by the Combine's ISF Director [[Shakir Jerrar]] to track down what he saw as intelligence leaks which were spurring the war on.<ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', pp. 32–35: The Dragon Strikes/Heart of the Matter Bikini Atoll- Wave 3 - Ghost Bears hunt the Corvette ''Amber Lotus''<nowiki>'</nowiki> naval group with ''Yamato'' and ''Ryū'' and destroys them all</ref>
