The '''Half-a-Year War''' was an armed conflict between [[ | The '''Half-a-Year War''' was an armed conflict between [[Daxia]], [[Recepistan|Reçêpistan]] and [[Aetheryion|Ætheryion]]. Daxian leadership, seeing the chaos occurring in Ætheryion caused by revolutionary frenzy as demands for {{wp|democratization}}, {{wp|liberalism}}, {{wp|Christian egalitarianism|egalitarianism}}, {{wp|Labor rights|increased worker rights}}, {{wp|Freedom of religion|religious freedom}} would make the nation vulnerable to collapse or export its revolution, so a pre-emptive strike was necessary. The socio-political upheaval was surprisingly strange, as it lacked many of the customary causes of revolution since it occurred during a time of relative prosperity, producing profound change at great speed as civil disobedience against the authoritarian theocratic 'republic'. | ||
The war began when a joint surprise attack on Ætheryion positions, hoped to take advantage of the revolutionary chaos. At the beginning it was followed by massive successes but it was short lived as limited victories would soon lead to the repulsion of the foreign forces closer to the border. [[Kiravia]] and [[Veltorina]] initiated massive resupply efforts to [[Aetheryion|Ætheryion]] during the war despite being ideologically opposed on regional policy. Despite the fact the attackers were known for their anti-communist tendencies, {{wp|realpolitik}} had forced the duo to turn to Kiravia for material and information assistance as they were largely isolated, many powers either unwilling - unable - or disinterested in participating to the conflict except for profit. | The war began when a joint surprise attack on Ætheryion positions, hoped to take advantage of the revolutionary chaos.

For weeks leading up to the war, the | For weeks leading up to the war, the Daxian army staged a long-intensive training exercise adjacent to the demarcation line. Veltorinan intelligence, detected large troop movements towards border units, dismissed them as mere part of the training exercises. Movements of Recepi troops towards their border were also detected, as were the cancellation of leaves and a call-up of reserves in the Popular Mobilization Forces. These activities were considered puzzling, but not a threat because, as Ætheryion believed, they would attack each other. Despite this belief, the military was on high alert due to internal crisis but couldn't sustain such a large troop surge indefinately. These forces were to prove critical during the early days of the war. | ||
