The '''Battle of the Strait of Malacca''' was a naval clash in 1725 between the [[Zhawang Corporation\|Zhang Wei Union]], the [[East India Company]], and, eventually, Admiral [[Zheng]]'s fleet and the [[Dutch East India Company]].

	The battle was initially fought between the Union and the [[Templars\|Templar]]-affiliated East India Company, the former of which sought to recover a [[Lantern (Piece of Eden)\|lantern-shaped]] [[Piece of Eden]] that had been stolen by the Templar spy [[John Young]]. The ''[[Fenghuang]]''{{'}}s crew, aided by their [[mercenary]] allies, succeeded in ~~damaging and~~ boarding the ship carrying John, but were forced to retreat following the arrival of a Company fleet commanded by [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Alan Jacob]].

The ''[[Fenghuang]]''{{'}}s crew, aided by their [[mercenary]] allies, succeeded in boarding the ship carrying John, but were forced to retreat following the arrival of a Company fleet commanded by [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Alan Jacob]].

	As the ''Fenghuang'' and its allies fled the battle, a [[Qing dynasty\|Qing]] fleet under the command of Admiral Zheng joined the engagement, intending to take advantage of the chaos to eliminate both the Union and the East India Company. The Union members were saved by the timely arrival of [[Jan van Aert]], who led a fleet composed of both Dutch East India Company and [[privateer]] ships. Outnumbered, Alan and Zheng ordered their respective forces to retreat, ending the battle in a stalemate.

	Having been contacted by [[Zhang (Macanese)\|Zhang]], Jan came to the Union's rescue after assembling an armada of [[privateer]] ships, which outnumbered both the East India Company and ~~Jeong~~'s fleets. Realizing this, Alan reluctantly ordered his men to retreat, having achieved their primary objective of securing the Piece of Eden in John's possession. Meanwhile, ~~Jeong~~ required some convincing from her lieutenant, but in the end she also gave the order to retreat, to avoid being killed by the superior enemy force.<ref name="EP 110">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 110\|Episode 110]]</ref>		Having been contacted by [[Zhang (Macanese)\|Zhang]], Jan came to the Union's rescue after assembling an armada of [[privateer]] ships, which outnumbered both the East India Company and Zheng's fleets.

With the [[samurai]]'s guard lowered, John seized the opportunity to push her back before pulling out the bag containing the Piece of Eden and threatening to drop it overboard. Saito fell for the bluff and, unwilling to risk losing the artifact, she and John were left at an impasse.<ref name="EP 108" />		Spotting John, Saito viciously attacked him for his betrayal, but the Templar was able to defend himself using a [[musket]].
