=== Battle of 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. The Morst jets fled to safer airspace in Staynes. The GEE air force was too frightened to attack Staynes directly and the commanders did not want to escalate a skirmish into a full-blown war without the authorisation of the High Commander. So they retreated.
The Oans used civilian places painted with symbols of the GEE to evade their attacks. They managed to intercept communications on callsigns from GEE, thus when GEE air traffic controllers hailed them, they used GEE callsigns, codes and authorised flight paths, allowing these planes to evade the fire of the GEE. This enabled the Oan Isles to land a parachute team on North Yor. Under the command of Admiral Rufornaks, the Kuthern navy strike group centered on the flagship, the air craft carrier Queen Naomi II, made its way to Yor. GEE forces focused the naval battle, missing the parachute attack of Oan special operations units surreptitiously descending over their heads. The Kutherns dropped joint direct attack munitions on GEE military targets. When the GEE air traffic control discovered that the civilian aircraft had been Oan, they tried to intercept them, but by then they were well on their way back to Indigo Island with under the escort of [[Royal Kuthern Air Force]] Raptor fighter jets beyond the reach of the GEE air force which was dealing with the aerial attack anyway.
Naval Commander Tesnof of the [[Royal Kuthern Navy]] managed to seriously cripple the GEE naval defences. This allowed Lieutenant Gary to lead a squadron of fighter jets and helicopters to provide the Oan forces with cover. The Oan and Kuthern forces managed to seize the headquarters of the GEE military government in Yor and capture their most senior officials. Oan forces also had a firefight with the GEE forces in at Rob Matterson Military Base where the GEE forces were holed in, trying to defend themselves. The Rob Matterson Base was of strategic importance because it was one of key centers for GEE operations. Cut of from the military government headquarters, the commanders at the Rob Matterson Base fought bitterly to prevent Oan and Kuthern capture. APCs came in to provide Oan and Kuthern troops with support and escort injured Oan and Kuthern soldiers. After a Kuthern armoured assault fighter (AAF) blew a hole in the Rob Matterson Military Base Hospital, senior GEE forces fled the base and the remaining GEE forces surrendered.
507th Kuthern artillery force managed to land once GEE naval defences were broken. They defeated GEE infantry and artillery still fighting near the docks and rendezvoused with the Oan and Kuthern team at Rob Matterson, clearing out any stray GEE forces in the process.
