	Following the collapse and reestablishment of the Nova English state, the city of [[Hempton Bay]] was established in {{AN\|1689}} with the sponsorship of [[Jeremiah Avon-El]].

Influential militia groups retained control over large swathes of territory, preventing the effective provision of government services and extorting funds from the rural population.

	*'''February 14th''': following a period of relative quiet in and around Hempton Bay, reports begin to reach the garrison of sporadic gunfire to the east of the city, with an unconfirmed number of police officers killed by armed men. Suggestions that the deaths occurred during a shootout with criminals are quickly dismissed and a stream of refugees from the city's eastern suburbs begun to arrive in the city centre, reporting the approach of a significant armed force. The bells of the Church of St Gabriel the Archangel are run to warm the city's population of the danger as the garrison, initially taken by surprise by the sudden assault, move from the barracks to take up defensive positions outside of the city's perimeter.

Truck bombs are deployed by the militiamen in an attempt to dislodge Nova English Forces from their defensive positions. Airstrikes are called in from the mainland, the [[Nova English Royal Air Force]] make roads on the city's eastern approach impassible, cutting off a large group of militia forces in the process. Law and order is maintained in the city itself, artillery is deployed to the city's outskirts, with precise fire directed at militia positions with the aid of hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicles.

When following the coast towards the harbour of Hempton Bay, the R.R.S. Madison is targeted by an unguided, shoulder-launched rocket based on the headlands east of the harbour. While the rocket fell well short of the ship and was not deemed to be a threat to the vessel, the Madison returned fire with 4.5 inch deck gun after hurried consultation with Nova English Forces. This marks the first time a ship of the South Sea Islands Defence Force has ever fired in anger.

The infantry assault was led by the South Sea Islands Defence Force, owing to their extensive experience fighting in rugged coastal areas. By nightfall, the government forces had advanced approximately 12km eastward along the coast,halting for the night in the village of High Oakham. During the advance, 4 South Sea Island Defence Force personnel were injured and withdrawn back to Hempton Bay, while around 45 rebels were killed or captured. Captives were handed over to the Nova English government.
