Auroran-Cerenerian War: Difference between revisions

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 Glitzernd Stock Exchange was ordered to close. Pro-Boracova forces held off several northern territories where they fought against the mutineer forces. The city of Rorivon was a bastion for Pro-Republic forces and continued to send supplies.

Upon arriving in Yor, RobertaOsitha JonesBoracova asked Owen Tubold to dissolve the government of Yor and surrender the islands to the control of the Republic. Tubolt agreed to this. At the instruction of President JonesBoracova, Tubolt was sent as an envoy of the Republic to seek a negotiated settlement with the Opposition Fighters so that it could concentrate its focus on fighting Uspalria. The Republic maintained a blockade of Uspalria.

President JonesBoracova contacted General Tabatha Lancaster and Admiral Udina Himishaki. They reported that the Republic's Armed Forces that had remained loyal to the Republic were in dire straits. on 28 May 2017, 120,000 Republic National Guard troops were evacuating to Yor. In total they retained command of 420,000 soldiers. Admiral Himishaki reported that 3 destroyers had been sunk and all 4 nuclear submarines had been lost. President JonesBoracova solicited Kutherburg and Furnifold for assistance but Furnifold refused. Luckily, Kuthernburg was already ready and willing to help.

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|South Staynes]] attended. Jurgen Oppenheimer attended on behalf of [[Kostoria-Obertonia]]. RobertaOsitha JonesBoracova and Owen Tubolt of the government-in-exile of the Republic attended. Some nations declined the invitation. Jacopo d'Arrigo, the Magistrate of Furnifold declined the invitation.

To open the session, King Lambertus VII addressed the gathered leaders. He spoke of the fascists that had overthrown the legitimate government of the Republic and replaced it with Uspalria which his government (and several others) categorically did not recognise as a legitimate state as they continued to recognise the government-in-exile of RobertaOsitha JonesBoracova. He asked the attending leaders to form the Bursil alliance and join forces to defeat the Rivendale forces. He appealed to their shared ideologies and interests as well as the fact that the instability caused by the Rivendale powers had allowed the Al Jaheed terrorist group to take root in Aurora, potentially threatening many nations. The other leaders applauded and committed to the Bursil alliance. Viktor Drugov delivered a speech speaking to the commonality among the attended nations despite salient ideological differences. This speech was not only poorly received but preceded a coup d'etat in his home nation that occurred shortly after.

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. The [[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 RobertaOsitha JonesBoracova 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]] rules. With Yor under a military occupation, [[Uspalria]] and Etharia were able to focus their attention on an invasion of KO.
