Forke Island ambush (Solar timeline)

On [insert date], Po-Tae, commander of the Pirate Confederation's 4th Fleet, carried out an ambush at her resident island Forke Island on Confederation boss Shi Ching and her escort. After capturing Shi, she fled the Island with the remainder of her forces and brought her to the Sol Union government, which granted her amnesty for her crimes in exchange for turning in Shi.

Background
2 months prior to the ambush, Po-tae was engaged in a bid for Confederation leadership, aiming to succeed Shi as the boss of the Confederation. However, the Confederation's fleet captains overwhelmingly supported the incumbent Shi in a vote, with only the 8th Fleet captain voting for Po-tae. While there were already tensions between Po-tae and Shi due to the former's relationship to ex-boss Po-sen, the result of this election ultimately drove the power-hungry Po-tae to plot against Shi.

Ambush
On [insert date], Shi visited Po-tae's Forke Island following allegations that Po-tae had been embezzling Confederation funds. Shi reportedly wished to give Po-tae the benefit of the doubt given she had been part of the Confederation for nearly as long as Po-sen; thawing relations was even considered a secondary goal of the talks, and part of the reason Shi chose to make a personal visit rather than sending a representative. Furthermore, the 8th Fleet still respected Po-sen and had voted for Po-tae, and Shi's personal visit intended to avoid tensions rather than create new ones.

Shi entered Forke Island with her Zuihou Fangxian guards and the 8th fleet captain, while a task force from said fleet stood by outside the Island.

War Room ambush
As soon as Shi's group entered the large war room, they realized something was wrong as Po-tae was not present. They were soon surrounded by Po-tae's elite guards, followed by over a hundred of Po-tae's troops, including a squad of Inazuma as well as troops armed with poisoned crossbows and harpoons, who rushed into the room from the four entrances.

Shi's group was able to kill all of the assailants in the war room after a lengthy brawl, but suffered heavy casualties: all but one of Shi's guards were killed, and both Shi and the 8th Fleet captain were heavily wounded.

8th Fleet decimated
The 8th Fleet's detachment was ambushed and encircled by Po-tae's fleet shortly after Shi's group was attacked. Po-tae's 4th Fleet quickly enveloped the squadron, which fought fiercely and desperately, inflicting considerable casualties on the 4th Fleet. It took around 4 hours to annihilate the 8th Fleet squadron.
