The inherent weakness of the Alpachnee state and its indifference or complicity with groups hostile to the civilizing endeavours of Corumm and Kiravia marked it for destruction. | The inherent weakness of the Alpachnee state and its indifference or complicity with groups hostile to the civilizing endeavours of Corumm and Kiravia marked it for destruction. | ||

Hostilities broke on October 31st 2020 after an Alpachnee aircraft violated Corummese airspace and was brought down by air defenses. Corumm responded shortly after by striking several Alpachnee military sites with unmanned drones and artillery strikes on border posts. A few hours later the Corummese [[Army of Conquest]] and auxiliary units from the [[Peace Brigade]] began a wholescale offensive into Alpachnee; dubbed '''Operation Ordertide'''. Corummese forces faced only weak resistance on its advance on the regional capital as the majority of local forces retreated into Tarum and made it the lynchpin of Alpachnee's southwest defense. Alpachnee reinforcements streaming south from Umuot ballooned the city's defenders to around 10,000. | Hostilities broke on October 31st 2020 after an Alpachnee aircraft violated Corummese airspace and was brought down by air defenses.

Alpachnee reinforcements streaming south from Umuot ballooned the city's defenders to around 10,000. Crucially for the defense, Alpachnee had in its posession very few anti air systems, mostly older Pelaxian models. During the siege these would prove completely unable to shoot down Corummese drones which picked apart artillery emplacements, troop convoys and strategically important buildings. | ||
