The battle of Otium Aqua was the second sea battle fort during the War of succession on the Stevidian front. Party nations belonging to Independent Hitmen, Stevid and Guffingford first fought in the Otium Aqua Sea early in the war when Guffingfordii naval vessels attacked oilrigs in the southern regions of Otium Aqua. Before Guffingford’s withdrawal from the war, it became a battle of wits, stupidity and powerful technology with loses on both sides. Had Guffingford not pulled out, the Royal Navy would surely have fallen to the might of the Guffingfordii navy. With the “defeat” of the Guffingfordii Navy, the Shores of Stevid and Rubet Island were again safe from the torment of international pressure. Even Stevid had gotten herself into the war, both Her and Independent Hitmen were confident of victory in the West without having to suffer the possibility of defeat so close to home by the shores of Stevid. They were soon to be proved wrong again when the enemy they set out to destroy came again in the form of a more beatable, but none the less formidable foe. The battle in South Otium Aqua was not one of great significance, the real battle was about to begin, and fighting an enemy that was the cause of the war would not back down as Guffingford did. The Macabees had a fleet twice the size of the nearest one Stevid could put to sail and had the pride and joy of the fleet. The [I]Feathermore[/I], a huge Super Dreadnought that dwarfed the only other opposing side’s SDN, the Stevidian Catholic Class.

The real battle of Otium Aqua would take place in Stevid Waters just to the East of an International Waters plot, to the West of Rubet Island. It was were the titanic battle of the Sea would begin.
