Early on the morning of 15 October, detachments of the militaries of both [[Urcea]] and [[Kiravia]] arrived on the shores of [[Titechaxha]] and subsequently secured key government and economic sites in that country. As a result, Titechaxha announced that they would be ending trade with [[Varshan]] immediately. It also retroactively gave approval and invitation to the forces from both countries. The event was met with outrage across [[Crona]] and elsewhere who referred to it as "brazen {{wp|gunboat diplomacy}}", though efforts to investigate the affair in the [[League of Nations]] failed. | ||

In the summer of [[2021]], the allied powers of [[Urcea]], [[Kiravia]], and [[Alstin]] announced a total economic embargo and physical naval blockade of [[Varshan]]. While the embargo received compliance from most major countries and Varshan neighbors, [[Titechaxha]] relied on trade with Varshan and subsequently refused to participate. Their refusal created what Urcean [[Procurator]] [[Bridget Farrell]] later called a "gaping back door" in the embargo and blockade. Leaders in Varshan soon designated the Titechaxha as their new primary port of import and export. | ||
