Line 132:
Queen Naomi Truden II contacted Rangitanga-a-te-Moana Ehe II, Magistrate Jacopo d'Arrigo of Furnifold and Jurgen Oppenheimer of Kostoria-Obertonia requesting their assistance to eliminate Al Jaheed (which they had discovered was not the same as the Opposition Fighters) and in turn Kuthernburg would assist to deal with the crisis in Yor and the former Lower Ethalria.
===
Upon arriving in Yor, Roberta Jones asked Owen Tubold to dissolve the government of Yor and surrender the islands to the control of Lower Ethalria. Tubolt agreed to this. At the instruction of President Jones, Tubolt was sent as an envoy of Lower Ethalria to seek a negotiated settlement with the Opposition Fighters so that Lower Ethalria could concentrate its focus on fighting the GEE. Lower Ethalria maintained a blockade of the GEE.
The civil war precipitated a massive refugee crisis of people who feared persecution at the hands of the GEE. There was a massive influx of refugees into [[Kostoria-Obertonia]]. Al Jaheed in Aurora had heard of the fact that a member of the Opposition Fighters had spoken to the Kutherns and assisted them. They saw this as a massive betrayal by the entire Opposition Fighters. In the chaos of the fighting, the Al Jeehad in Yor attacked a GEE town called Hindersinville that lay 39 miles (62.7644 km) east of Fort Wahington. They proclaimed the State of Al Jaheed and renamed it to Gdakow. They proclaimed Derata Kuk'uq as their new leader and cut off all funding and supplies to the Opposition Fighters of Yor, and thus severed their alliance. They declared the Opposition Fighters an enemy of the Al Jaheed. The Al-Jaheed also took control of the panhandled surrounding that town. ▼
On 28 May 2017, Reiner Ufferman informed Jurgen Oppenheimer of the State of Al-Jaheed and its close proximity to their territory. Oppenheimer agreed to allow refugees to enter but they were to be heavily monitored. He gave permission for the Kostoro-Obertonian navy and army to seize the panhandle to secure the territorial integrity of Kostoria-Obertonia. Prime Minister [[James Stevenson]] of [[Tretrid]] received a wire from Kostoria-Obertonia and declined to get involved. ▼
Furnifold was wary of the rapidly evolving situation in Aurora and did not want to commit to a position. Thus, Jacopo d'Arrigo replied Naomi Truden II's letter and declined to commit any Furnifoldian forces to intervene in the crisis. ▼
Kostoro-Obertonian forces were led by Captain Jakob Felgenhauer and Captain Emmerich Holder. They entered Greater Imperial Ethalrian territory via the Kostoro-Obertonian bordertown of Obernraschen on 8 June 2017. They led four companies of 216 troops in total, 20 combat helicopters and 20 main battle tanks. The Al Jaheed had accumulated 570 troops, 20 armoured personnel carriers and rocket launch systems and spread them around and in Hindersville. The Al-Jaheed exterminated civilians who disobeyed them. They spread improvised explosive devices throughout the countryside to discourage attacks from Kostoro-Obertonian forces. ▼

===First Battle of Glitzernd===▼
President Jones contacted General Tabatha Lancaster and Admiral Udina Himishaki. They reported that Lower Ethalria Armed Forces that had remained loyal to Lower Ethalria were in dire straits. on 28 May 2017, 120,000 Lower Ethalria National Guard troops were evacuating to Yor. In total Lower Ethalria retained command of 420,000 soldiers. Admiral Himishaki reported that 3 destroyers had been sunk and all 4 nuclear submarines had been lost. President Jones solicited Kutherburg and Furnifold for assistance but Furnifold refused. Luckily, Kuthernburg was already ready and willing to help.
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 Lower Ethalria.
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 Glitzernd. Some nuclear warheads and ICBMs were captured by remaining Lower Ethalria Forces. They evacuated these assets to Yor. General Tabatha Lancaster reported that the battle had been fierce and 20,000 soldiers died but 400,000 had been rescued and evacuated to Yor.
On 29 May 2017 in the early morning, Rangitanga-a-te-Moana Ehe II announced that [[the Oan Isles]] declared war on Lower Ethalria.

===Battle of Hindersville ===
▲The civil war precipitated a massive refugee crisis of people who feared persecution at the hands of the GEE. There was a massive influx of refugees into [[Kostoria-Obertonia]]. Al Jaheed in Aurora had heard of the fact that a member of the Opposition Fighters had spoken to the Kutherns and assisted them. They saw this as a massive betrayal by the entire Opposition Fighters.

He gave permission for the Kostoro-Obertonian navy and army to seize the panhandle to secure the territorial integrity of Kostoria-Obertonia.

▲Furnifold was wary of the rapidly evolving situation in Aurora and did not want to commit to a position. Thus, Jacopo d'Arrigo replied Naomi Truden II's letter and declined to commit any Furnifoldian forces to intervene in the crisis.
▲Kostoro-Obertonian forces were led by Captain Jakob Felgenhauer and Captain Emmerich Holder. They entered Greater Imperial Ethalrian territory via the Kostoro-Obertonian bordertown of Obernraschen on 8 June 2017. They led four companies of 216 troops in total, 20 combat helicopters and 20 main battle tanks. The Al Jaheed had accumulated 570 troops, 20 armoured personnel carriers and rocket launch systems and spread them around and in Hindersville. The Al-Jaheed exterminated civilians who disobeyed them. They spread improvised explosive devices throughout the countryside to discourage attacks from Kostoro-Obertonian forces.
Sergeant Koloman Dessauer led a team that became trapped in a building on 64 Majakowskiring Street by the Al-Jaheed. Al-Jaheed forces and Dessauer's team exchanged fire. He directed snipers to take a hire position in the building to pick off Al-Jaheed soldiers. One of these snipers was Linus Holzer who managed to kill and injure many Al-Jaheed fighters. One of the tanks's of the Kostoro-Obertonian made its way to the building, blowing Al-Jaheed forces to smithereens. With Al-Jaheed surrounded at the rear, Koloman bore down on the Al-Jaheed. However, the Al-Jaheed judged Koloman's forces as more manageable and thus doubled down on their assault, putting Koloman's team on the backfoot, causing them to seek reenforcments.
Commander Aladeed of the Al-Jaheed led his troops towards Koloman. He radioed Commander Uternek, another Al-Jaheed leader to position his forces 280 metres from the building. He had hoped that Uternek could assist them when the IEDs that they had laid on Majakowskiring Street would destroy or at least incapacitate the Kostorian tank. Commander Uternek positioned snipers on an adjacent building, who exchanged fire with the Kostorian snipers. The commander of the tank received intelligence that IEDs had been planted on the road. He ordered the tank to stop and reverse, escaping the IED. Unfortunately, this allowed Al-Jaheed forces to press on Koloman's.
Reinforcements from KO arrived. The KOE artillery division moved towards Hindersville. They were faced with Al-Jaheed forces. The Al-Jaheed only had IFV and APCs. The KO forces pushed them back further and severely crippled. The Al-Jaheed had severely underestimated KO's determination to defeat them and the resources they would be willing to expend in the process. Koloman's team rejoiced at news of the coming reinforcements. Despite thwarting the tank, Aladeed and Uternek were effectively surrounded. Emboldeded by the arrival of the reinforcements, tank focused its fire on Uternek's position, making the pressure on Aladeed's team incredible. Commander Suril Zuberi of the Al-Jaheed was in charge of the forces preventing the KO forces from advancing on Hindersville. He had command of 4 old GZ-72 tanks. Commander Alaron Shedu, also of the Al-Jaheed was in charge of the artillery group ordered his team to fire on the KO forces. Commander Zuberi did the same.
On 9 June 2017, Owen Tubot was in the Yor Parliament Building. He sensed that there may be a threat in the building and ordered security forces to conduct a security sweep of the building. As Owen Tubolt had feared, there was an assailant in the building. The assailant shot Owen Tubolt. With the shot resonating throughout the building the security team found Tubolt's dead body on the ground.
On 9 June 2017, Admiral Udina Hamishaki was in the RENS Kennedy air craft carrier, the flagship of the Republic of Ethalria Navy. It was struck by a torpedo from the Greater Ethalrian Empire Navy. The GEE Armed Forces launched a surprise attack on the ROE fleet that had gone unnoticed until it was too late. The aerial might that the GEE brought to bear was overwhelming and proved incredible challenging for the navy. A few destroyers and frigates were severely crippled or sunk in the process. In the thick of battle, the GEE sent a parachute team to commandeer the RENS Kennedy. Faced with the aerial bombardment and mistakenly thinking that the air craft carrier was lost, the ROE Naval forces retreated to the Dominion of Yor. The parachute team was able to board the ship. With the Kennedy abandoned, the GEE sent smaller vessels with solders to board that ship. The resistance of the soldiers on the ship was so tremendous that the GEE lost an incredible number of soldiers in the assault, approximately several hundred. Furthermore, despite having controlled the air superiority fighters of the ROE, the fight against the fighter jets of the ROE was so intense, that the GEE lost a fifth of their aerial capabilities. Admiral Hamishaki felt that the lives of her crew were more important than the ship, so she surrendered to the GEE hoping to negotiate for their lives.
High Commander Erwina Pipua received news that the blockade had been broken and that what remained of the ROE Navy had fled to Yor. She ordered General von Bauer to prepare an invasion of Yor. The Oan government received wind that the ROE Naval Blockade had been broken and that the GEE was preparing for an invasion. They felt that it would take Tretridian, Mexregionan and Atlaesian forces too long to arrive in Yor, and that it the Oan Isles alone could not stop the GEE. Thus, they beseeched Great Morstaybishlia to invade Lower Ethalria rather than await the GEE to attack first.
To the fortune of the ROE, 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 GEE invasion. The Axdelians sent a air craft carrier strike group led by the ANV Axiom. They were able to intercept the RENS Kennedy. Axdelian forces attacked the GEE aerial support units. GEE 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 GEE forces onboard the Kennedy tried to sail the limping ship towards Glitzernd with hopes that additional GEE forces could stop the Axdelians. The Kennedy 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 the GEE, the Axdelian forces retreated.
MOE finally came to GEE's aid providing them with the naval forces needed to effect the invasion. MOE sent 2 air craft carrier strike groups which included amphibious vessels. The GEE had an invasion force of 125,000 soldiers ready to attack the islands. MOE forces faced off with the Axdelian air craft strike group. Although the Axdelians were able to defend them for a time, the MOE's power was too great. Without support or reinforcements, Axdelian forces retreated to Indigo Island. Without Axdelian or any other defences, the GEE and MOE made their way to Yor. Faced with the peril of a brutal attack from the MOE and GEE, President Roberta Jones surrendered Yor to the GEE and MOE. The GEE placed the islands under military occupation and seized the military assets of the ROE including its naval ships. They placed ROE forces under imprisonment in internment camps on the Yor islands. Faced with the GEE, 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 the GEE. 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 the GEE forces were unable to mount a useful resistance and eventually acquiesced to GEE rules. With Yor under a military occupation, the GEE and MOE were able to focus their attention on an invasion of KO.
=== Battle of North Lower Ethalria ===
In Raufstreffen on 8 June 2017, Erwina Pipua directed General Alexandrina Larkov to mobilise 500,000 troops to the border with Great Morstaybishlia in anticipation of an invasion from the north. The next day, High Commander Erwin Pipua received intelligence that Great Morstaybishlia was in the throws of invading the MOE. She ordered General Larkov to add an additional 300,000 soldiers to the invasion force. With the approval of the Imperial Diet, additional rationing was put in place to set aside funds and resources to prepare for the fight with Morstaybishlia and Yor. GEE 5th, 7th and 18th Air Superiority Squadrons were placed on patrol with an order to shoot non-hailing aircraft on sight.
In a surprise attack, Morstaybishlian forces fired on the patrol plane. Adjacent GEE jets alerted ground control. GEE Air Superiority fighters tried to chase the Morstaybishlian air forces out of Lower Ethalrian skies.
== Pacific Front==
Line 242 ⟶ 262:
To the relief of the Oans, the Atlaesian 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 the GEE, a sentiment shared by Atlae and 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, Tretrid and Atlae 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 GEE and securing the port city of Glitzernd.
Prime Minister James Stevenson of [[Tretrid]] ordered Admiral John Vega to take the 1st to 5th expeditionary groups to [[Vistari West Pacific Dominions]].
