The '''Auroran-Pacific War''', often abbreviated as the '''APW''' was an international military conflict between the [[Sani Bursil|Bursil]] Alliance and the [[Ribenstadt]] Pact. The war arose against the backdrop of fascist [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves Usprian] forces rising in the [[Ethalria (Republic)|Republic of Ethalria]] to form [[Uspalria]]; and the [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy of Ethalria]] due to resentment over the partition of the [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Grand Matriarchy of Ethalria]] and imposition of foreign systems of government and economically crippling reparations payments following the [[Auroran Imperial War]].▼

The islands of [[Yor]] had been a dependent territory of the [[Ethalria (Republic)|Republic of Ethalria]] (henceforth Republic). A resistance movement called the Opposition Fighters of Yor arose to end the rule of the Republic and its puppet government, the Dominion of Yor. This led to the Yor Civil War. The Opposition Fighters received the support of Al-Jaheed, an internationally recognised terrorist group from [[Latianburg]]. In the midst of the Yor Civil War, reports emerged from refugees who were rescued by a merchant vessel from Furnifold that the Republic was committing human rights violations. Faced with condemnation from the international community, the Republic started negotiating with OFOY. Fascist movements took advantage of this act and orchestrated a coup d'état on 28 May 2017 and proclaimed the Uspalria led by High Commander [[List of heads of state of Ethalria#Ethalrian Empire (2017)|Erwina Pipenz]]. The Republic government fled to and formally took over Yor along with their entire Navy, half of the rest of their military and about 2 to 3 million refugees. Faced with a common enemy, the Republic and the OFOY declared a truce. [[Amalda Harimann]] of the [[Matriarchy of Ethalria]] and High Commander Pipenz of Uspalria formed the Ribenstadt Pact. ▼

The APW formally began on 29 May 2017 when [[the Oan Isles]] declared war on [[Uspalria]] and [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Ethalria]] (henceforth Matriarchy). King [[Lambertus VII]] of [[Great Morstaybishlia]] called a conference of allied nations to form the [[Sani Bursil]] Alliance. [[Viktor Drugov]] of [[Stratarin]] was among the attendees and committed his country to assisting, but Mikhail Starikov overthrew him and revealed that he had aligned Stratarin with the Ribenstadt Pact bringing Stratarin into the war. This wrought chaos in the [[South-East Pacific Coalition]] because some its members were part of opposing military pacts. Attempts to get Stratarin to admit to the coup failed and the SEPC collapsed. For analytical purposes, the war is divided into three fronts: the Upper Ethalrian Front, Lower Ethalrian Front and [[Pacific Ocean]] Front.▼

The Al-Jaheed and the OFOY fell out because the truce with Republic and OFOY's refusal to declare Kuthernburg an enemy. They severed ties and the mainland forces of the Al-Jaheed set up a rogue state around Hindersville in Uspalria. Due its close proximity, [[Kostoria-Obertonia]] (KO) attacked Al-Jaheed and captured the territory they had taken. In the midst of the confusion that ensued, Uspalria invaded and occupied KO.

The Kuthern Commonwealth was an empire ruled by the Kingdom of [[Kuthernburg]]. It consisted of [[Atiland]], [[Nacata]] and [[Latianburg]]. Despite being nominally independent these three countries relied on Kuthernburg for foreign relations and defence policy, making them dependent territories of Kuthernburg. Furthermore, they all recognised Queen [[Naomi Truden II]] as their head of state. The Kuthern Commonwealth had a total population of approximately 190 million people, a combined GDP of approximately 5 trillion KRB. It spanned 3 continents.
The Ducal Federation of [[Vistaraland]] was a semi-constitutional monarchy in Western Yasteria, with Imperial posessions across the Urth that nominally remain in a reorganized confederation to this day, or as part of the Vistari Commonwealth. Considered one of the Great Colonial Powers in the past, Vistaraland was notable for its ardent refusal of decolonization, generally holding a foreign policy which tended towards elitism and self-interest. In spite of this, Vistaraland joined the war on the side of the Bursil Alliance in order to fulfil treaty obligations within the realms of the [[IRSA]], as well as the 1709 Alliance it maintains with [[Great Morstaybishlia]]. Within the region, [[Vistaraland|Vistari]] interested centred on the colonial possession of the [[Vistari West

===Coup d'etat===
Not long after Queen Naomi Truden II's speech, President [[Ositha Boracova]] granted the head of the Republic of Ethalria's National Intelligence Agency unofficial powers to wiretap communications lines throughout the country, after receiving a tip-off that her government was under threat. The story of the refugee as well as the seeming weakness of her government gave the perfect opportunity for Erwina Pipenz and her cortege to launch a coup d'etat. On 28 May 2017, half of the armed forces under the command of General Erwina Pienz mutinied. They captured senior officials of the Republic government and disbanded the elected legislature. The
Unfortunately, the mutineers took control of four ICBM silos and seized half of the nuclear submarines of the navy that carried nuclear-armed ICBMs. Protests and insurgencies ensued in the streets supporting and resisting Erwina Pipenz' takeover. Erwina Pipenz issued a decree and public announcement proclaiming the establishment of [[Uspalria]]. Most of what remained of the government of the Republic fled to Yor led by Ositha Boracova and established a government-in-exile. Other than the four nuclear submarines, the Republic retained control of its navy and its forces retained control of Rorivon.

Queen Naomi Truden II contacted King [[Lambertus VII]] of [[Great Morstaybishlia]] suggesting that an international conference be called in [[Sani Bursil]] to coordinate a response to the myriad of crisis that had befallen the Republic of Ethalria. Tubolt managed to get hold of Kosov one of the leaders of the Opposition FIghters who agreed to a ceasefire.
Admiral Udina Himishaki received orders to provide cover for evacuating soldiers. She sent forces to provide cover fire and transport for the soldiers leaving the port of
On 29 May 2017 in the early morning, Rangitanga-a-te-Moana Ehe II announced that [[the Oan Isles]] declared war on [[Uspalria]].
Line 254 ⟶ 256:
High Commander [[List of heads of state of Ethalria#Ethalrian Empire (2017)|Erwina Pipenz]] received news that the blockade had been broken and that what remained of the Republic Navy had fled to Yor. She ordered General von Bauer to prepare an invasion of Yor. The Oan government received wind that the Republic Naval Blockade had been broken and that Uspalria was preparing for an invasion. They felt that it would take Tretridian, Mexregionan sian forces too long to arrive in Yor, and that it the Oan Isles alone could not stop Uspalria. Thus, they beseeched Great Morstaybishlia to invade rather than wait for Uspalria to attack first.
To the fortune of the Republic, the Axdelian Navy had caught wind of the attack and was willing and able to release its ships to defend it and thwart any potential [[Uspalria]] invasion. The Axdelians sent a air craft carrier strike group led by the ANV ''Axiom''. They were able to intercept the RENS ''Boracova''. Axdelian forces attacked Uspalria aerial support units. [[Uspalria]] maritime passenger transport vessels were sunk as the ANV ''Meson'', a submarine of the Axdelian navy, fired torpedoes. The ''Meson'' and ''Axiom'' coordinated closely with the ''Axiom'' and her aerial fighter jets handling the aerial assault while the ''Meson'' handled the transport vessels. The [[Uspalria]] forces on the ''Boracova'' tried to sail the limping ship towards
The [[Ethalria (Matriarchy)|Matriarchy of Ethalria]] finally came to [[Uspalria]]'s aid providing them with the naval forces needed to effect the invasion. Ethalria sent two air craft carrier strike groups which included amphibious vessels. [[Uspalria]] had an invasion force of 125,000 soldiers ready to attack the islands. Ethalrian forces faced off with the Axdelian air craft strike group. Although the Axdelians were able to defend them for a time, Ethalria’s power was too great. Without support or reinforcements, Axdelian forces retreated to Indigo Island. Without Axdelian or any other defences, Uspalria and Ethalria made their way to Yor. Faced with the peril of a brutal attack from Ethalria and [[Uspalria]], President Ositha Boracova surrendered Yor them. [[Uspalria]] placed the islands under military occupation and seized the military assets of the Republic including its naval ships. They placed Republic forces under imprisonment in internment camps on the Yor islands. Faced with [[Uspalria]], the Opposition Fighters collapsed and many of their troops went into hiding or were placed in internment camps on Yor. Many of the Lower Ethalrians who had fled to Yor were effectively trapped on the islands by Uspalria. A quarantine was placed on the islands to prevent flight of people and capital. Despite protests, the population, weary of conflict and brutally oppressed by Uspalria forces, were unable to mount a useful resistance and eventually acquiesced to [[Uspalria]]<nowiki/>n rule. With Yor under a military occupation, [[Uspalria]] and Etharia were able to focus their attention on an invasion of KO.
Although the Republic of Ethalria had surrendered, soldiers from the Republic military and the Opposition Fighters who had escaped capture by Uspalria formed the South Yor Guard, a paramilitary guerilla group that aimed to combat Uspalrian occupation with asymmetric warfare. The [[Uspalria|Uspalrian]] forces ordered the use of chemical weapons on Southern Yor, which was identified as a stronghold of the South Yor Guard. They had warplanes pour a dangerous chemical known as napalm onto the forests of Yor.

Although the Kutherns were willing to blow Uspalria forces hunkered at the water treatment plant and power plant to smithereens regardless of the consequences, the Axdelians and Furnifoldians were completely opposed to this. The Furnifoldians suggested a delicate touch whereby they used a computer virus to gain remote control of the water and power plant. The Kutherns had to deal with skirmishes in the east of the York capital. Captain Jouette of Furnifold and Commander Tukanaye led a joint special task force that infiltrated the water facility. A strange device called a Bass Cannon was debuted which emitted a sound wave that dislodged delicate matter like snow as to expose traps. The trap laid by Commander Keyes caught and killed several [[Uspalria]] officials, distracting them from the point at which the Jouette-Tukanaye team accessed the plant. The Jouette team got trapped in the pumping station. They fought with Uspalria but their position was not easily defensible so they abandoned it. Lieutenant Atesso of the Kuthern forces sent some assistance. With Kuthern support they drove back Uspalria forces and formed a defensive perimetre and Uspalria retreated.

On the other hand, another team was working on the powerplant. Colonel Satiye about 4 platoons into the facility. They took the facility section by section. They drove Uspalria forces into the woods. The Axdelians, familiar with forest warfare, concealed themselves using foliage and snow, enabling them to ambush the fleeing [[Uspalria]] forces. Despite their desire to be careful and preserve as much of the critical infrastructure as possible, Uspalria believed in scorched earth policy so they destroyed the facility. With their operation blown, the Kutherns sent in air support to rescue Satiye's forces. The [[Uspalria]] forces were more numerous than the Axdelians had originally predicted. The two sides were locked in a prolonged battle to gain ground. When the Furnifoldians secured the water plant, they asked the Kutherns and Tretridians to assist the Axdelians. The Kutherns managed to obliterate the enemy and rescue the Axdelian forces.
Line 289 ⟶ 291:
The Uspalrian Military High Command ordered the PKFU to evacuate the DMZ. The Oans sent a container ship called the HSMS Huatamanu escorted by a small naval accompaniment (that looked like maritime police) to York. The Uspalrian Navy ordered the ship to leave. Captain Tihanohua of the Huatamanu explained that the ship was sending supplies to Yor and that the naval patrol's refusal to allow the Oan ship to head to Yor was basically a blockade which would be considered a new act of war. They reached a compromise that a single inspector would have 30 minutes to inspect the ship. The inspector had too little time to conduct a thorough investigation and was thus fooled into believing that the UACV parts were parts for medical equipment. Despite suspicion, the Uspalrian navy allowed the Huatamanu to continue.
The Huatamanu arrived in South Yor and began assembling the UACVs in a secret facility. The UACVs secretely began flying towards Uspalria. The Uspalrians detected unknown air craft flying over North Yor. Uspalrians began preparing their anti-aircraft guns for a potential attack. They were expecting that these aircraft would be the same aircraft that would be dropping useless propaganda. At 2am on 5 August 2017, Oan-Kuthern UACVs bombed the Rorivon Military Base and they also bombed military defences in

Line 320 ⟶ 322:
Upon the arrival of the invited guests, Oahoanu, then the Crown Prince of the Oan Isles, addressed the attendees due to his father having an illness. He appealed to the democratic heritage and ancient relationship between the Bursil forces and their respective nations. Admiral Tukama Uataka was in charge of the Oan part of the war. He informed the leaders of a plan to cut off sea and air routes to Republic, occupy its southern territory and to expel its forces from [[Yor]] with a view to getting a negotiated settlement. He gave them a breakdown of the materiel and personnel shortages which included 2500 troops and an air craft carrier.
To the relief of the Oans, and Tretridian militaries were able and willing to assist by sending their respective forces and fortunately, they had preempted the Oan request by partially mobilizing their forces in anticipation of potential conflict. However, the Mexregionans refused to send soldiers to maintain an occupation of the southern territory of Uspalria, a sentiment shared by Tretrid. During the discussions, Queen [[Naomi Truden II]] of [[Kuthernburg]] was invited and after holding discussions with her government, agreed to assist the Oan invasion forces with 78,000 soldiers from [[Latianburg]]. Mexregiona and Tretrid agreed to support the Oans with two joint air craft carrier strike groups for the purpose of enforcing maritime and aerial blockade, transporting soldiers to [[Uspalria]] and securing the port city of
