The decisive naval engagement of the Unification War, the Battle of Shindra's Veil, marked the apex of Shey Tapani's efforts to unify the Twelve Kingdoms of the Expanse under a single flag. In 7328 BBY, Tapani led 150 starships into battle against the Rogue Houses at Shindra's Veil, a confrontation that concluded the war prior to Tapani's establishment of the Tapani Empire. Millennia afterwards, the Unification Gala commemorated this pivotal battle with a historical recreation.
