Yggdrasil's Sprout by Diane Morrison
The Fomorian Alliance known as The Solstice Pact attacks Evergleam during the celebration of Rumaraera. Total casualties number nearly a million in civilian and military injuries and lives. The Avalonian Imperial Navy, acting on behalf of the Avalonian Empire, declares war on the Fomorians of Known Space. Evergleam is destroyed, and the survivors flee as refugees into the stars. Most settle elsewhere within the Telasian System.
