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 name of the Pacific Ocean has been officially changed by the community to Cerenerian Ocean. Consequently, sections that refer to the Pacific Ocean may need to be revised to reflect this change. Please note that other articles may also require revision.''
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

Of the nations outside of Aurora, the following were in attendance. [[Rurik Lukin]], Minister of Foreign Affairs of [[Stratarin]] was sent by former General-Secretary of Stratarin [[Viktor Drugov]] to attend the summit on his behalf. This arose amidst tensions in that country about whether to side with the Bursil or Ribenstadt alliances with the latter receiving support from a faction of the Stratarin Communist Party led by [[Mikhail Starikov]]. Queen [[Naomi Truden II]] of [[Kuthernburg]] was en route to a diplomatic visit to [[Blueacia]]. In light of the severity of the situation she diverted her trip to Sani Bursil to attend the summit. Chancellor [[Alyona Petrovavich]] of [[Tuvaltastan]] attended on behalf of her country. Mr. Leader of [[Mexregiona]] attended as well.
Of the nations in [[Aurora]], several attended. Grand Duke Jeymian Drachenburg III of [[Dragonia]] and Lord Mayor Jeymi Vorlynovich of [[Oceansend]] represented their respective nations. The government of [[the Oan Isles]] sent then [[Rangitanga-a-te-Moana]] [[Ehe II]] to represent the country at the summit. Crown Prince [[Oahoanu]] accompanied him to the summit. Although President [[Leon Jolva]] of [[Axdel]] had intended to visit the military base at Montakaan Citadel to inspect the preparations of the [[Axdel Armed Forces]] for a potential conflict with the [[Uspalria]], he diverted his itinerary to [[Sani Bursil]] to attend the summit. Alongside the King and Prime Minister of Great Morstaybishlia, Lord Governor Frederik of [[Caltharus]] and Chief Minister Frode Humblack of then-[[Valeria|

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 Anzrelstätt with hopes that additional [[Uspalria]] forces could stop the Axdelians. The ''Boracova'' managed to get close enough to the mainland that the Axdelian forces were unable to get closer due to the surface to surface cruise missiles that fired on them from the shore. Unable to overcome the anti-ship fire of Uspalria, the Axdelian forces retreated.
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.
