Operation Black Ice was a diversionary assault on the Decuu System, intended to draw attention away from the concurrent Operation Black Thunder. The operation was succesful, but jeopardized both loyalist vessels involved. In the end, both ships managed to escape relatively unscathed, having held up the rebels for the required time.

Aftermath

Commodore Aran Tolucan was awarded an Admiral of the Fleet Citation for his leadership in the operation. Captain Robynne Adlai and Wing Commander Donovan Corbin were both awarded a Group Commander's Citation for their roles in the operation.
