→Annexation of Eridani Theta
Line 142:
On November 1, 2017, The former nation of Eridani Theta broke apart following the decision of the Eridani Thetan 2017 Referendum. Following years living under a dictatorship and the unending growth of both speciesism and Fortunan nationalism, the southern provinces of Eridani Theta decided to break away and unite into the Fortunan Empire. The remnants joined together and formed the Republic of [[Ambravia]], a small, vulpine majority nation. Fortunan troops quickly moved into the newly claimed territory to secure strategic positions and cities. This received some backlash from the populace that opposed Fortuna, especially from Eridani Thetan loyalists and vulpine extremists. Skirmishes continue to be reported to take place between Fortunan forces, Ambravian forces, and Eridani Thetan loyalists. Much of the conflict is currently focused around the city of Equilara, the former capital of Eridani Theta, which is held by the Eridani Thetan loyalists as both Fortunan and Ambravian troops try to claim the city before the other. On December 6, 2017, representatives from both Fortuna and Ambravia came together to sign the [[Slens Agreement]] which solidified Fortuna's claim in Eridani Theta. In order to display their want for peace, the Fortunan Regime agreed to allow PKFU troops temporarily take control of the border and set up a buffer zone.
Although Fortuna and Ambravia agreed to not pursue any military conflict, fighting would continue between Fortunan troops and the Ambravian Freedom Fighters, an independent paramilitary organization who opposed Fortuna's annexation of Eastern Eridani Theta. This would lead up to two years later when on March 15, 2020, the Empire ordered for the departure of the PKFU and the return of border control to Fortunan troops. Tensions finally reached their breaking point upon an attempted ambush of Fortunan general Nicholas Telli on April 21. In retaliation, he ordered for the striking of five supposedly unknown AFF sites, causing Grand Admiral Francesco Guido to make the decision to begin the invasion of Ambravia. The next day, Lyone made a speech in front of an assembled government to officially declare war against Ambravia. The war would conclude on September 1, 2020, leading to the entirety of Ambravia to be annexed into Fortuna.
