Cruzada de O Império Glorious

Buildup

There are many theories as to how the war started. The most obvious reason was the sudden change of face in Spooty from being one of the Floydian Powers of the Democratic Union to joining with The Glorious Empire in his Axis Powers. Another possibility is that the International League for Liberation wanted to stop TGE before he became too much of a threat to the region. A far outward theory proposed by the Solists is that it was a ploy by the Floydists to gain regional notoriety.

Some of the DU's previous conflicts may shed some light on the rationale for the war. Just a few months earlier there had been a huge standoff between the Solists and Floydists within the walls of Spootopolis, and it was in this conflict that Morningstar, a former Solist, saw his opportunity to take over Spooty. He managed to convince several others to support him, and just weeks before the war he managed to take power.

Only days before the war the whole of the TGE area was consumed by extreme heat in the wake of the ozone layer's complete depletion. It's possible that the invasion took place so that the ILL could safely seal the hole before it spread to other parts of the DU. Rather curiously, there had not been a huge amount of TGE-led invasions to suggest that this was the cause.

Operation Fletcher

On June 8, Palixia released a statement to the rest of the DU stating that he would be "reclaiming the Holy Land", thereby linking back to the possibility that this was a purely religious war. TGE responded to this threat by mobilising 10 million soldiers to defend its wastelands. At this point Palixia put into effect "Operation Fletcher" to quickly take the TGE lands.

Operation Nephilim Front

Upon hearing of the attack upon his ally, Morningstar of Spooty mobilised a few kabals of his famed Nephilim warriors. Unfortunately, there had not been enough time to rebuild the naval forces of Spooty and so he was forced to mobilise horribly damaged steamships. Eyygui, a neighbouring nation to Spooty, then got involved by blockading all ports out of Spooty. The Nephilim were trapped and now had to defend the island against Eyygui.

Nephilim elites swam out to laser target the enemy navy in the hope that they could open up a large enough hole to move out of. In response, Eyygui sent out 100 Bombers and 100 Dogfighters, knowing full well that the THEL system was currently inoperational and that Nephilim air forces were practically non-existent. It was at this point that chucknorris sent air forces to aid Eyygui.

Things only got worse for the Nephilim as Philanchez, one of the strongest powers of in DU got involved, sending along his fleet. At this point Morningstar was finding it hard to defend, so he ordered the laying of mines and tank traps. Word got back to the Nephilim generals that 75 enemy ships had sunk and 25 were under heavy fire, out of 300 this was a great boon.

In what came as a shock, the ILL ally Abascalania entered the conflict and invaded CN. The Nephilim chose not to stop this and simply brushed it off as an irrelevant event.

Operation Hellfire

TGE troops dug in light of Operation Fletcher, they used the natural smoke of the Ashlands to build up defences and began to destroy Palixian forces via artillery and hit and run tactics. A massive attack was launched upon the Palixian mandate areas with no holding back.

A surprise decision from the normally apathetic Tetris L-Shaped Block meant that a small force of untrained guerillas came to the TLSB quarter of the TGE Mandate. Using the Ashlands as cover the Palixians launched a vicious counterstrike, sending bombers into New Rome and forces along the Ashlands to shoot at anyone they could see.

TGE then consolidated for another counter offensive. The highest ranking officials moved to New Babylon and slowly more forces made it to the front in preparation for the final conflict. The airforce stepped up to the plate by increasing its bombing campaigns.

Operation Guerilla

Philanchez was the first to land, making advancements upwards onto the coast while taking moderate damage from the mines and tank traps. Eyygui landed second making a quick beachhead. The theatre of combat was then split between three areas: East, West and South. Morningstar decided it would be best to fall back to the cities and urbanised areas, believing the enemy forces would not dare destroy towns belonging to civilians.

The attacking forces figured the best and in their overconfidence simply forgot about the mines. A general was lost along with the following recorded casualties: 9,000 Soldiers, 12 Transports, 31 Dogfighters, 19 Bombers, 13 Tanks and 75 Ships.

Operation Hellfire, Continued

Neighbouring Hutten joined the war against TGE, Palixian forces believed to have taken the beach-head, they then moved north onwards into TGE, with current losses standing at 8,000 men, 160 planes and 13 tanks.
