The '''Lion of Taren Incident''' was a maritime dispute of interest and later crisis between [[Kyrloth]] and [[Great Morstaybishlia]] over the Lion of Taren oil rig off the coast of the Undirnor and Slodhir Islands. After Kyrloth annexed [[Izria]] the Kyrlot government asserted control over [[Embask]] company property, headquartered in Morstaybishlia which had operations in Izria; by sending a task force led by Artun Sotarikos assuming de facto control of the Lion of Taren oil rig. This move forced the Morstaybishlian Prime Minister [[Franklin Barvata]] to retaliate by sending its destroyer MBS ''Dovia'' and three corvettes from the [[Morstaybishlian Rotantic
In a meeting intended to de-escalate the maritime dispute between the Morstaybishlian, [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]], Kyrlot and [[Kuthernburg|Kuthern]] leaders, General Sotarikos blew up the oil rig and sunk the Morstaybishlian destroyer which was nearby. The outcome of this meeting saw the Kyrlot Government pay a sum of 20 billion Kiribs (5% of their GDP) for the oil rigs and compensation to the workers and the dead workers' families.
