'''Huoxia''' is a country located in northern [[Alshar]]. It borders [[Oyashima]] to the east, [[Kloistan]] to the southwest, and Zuolihi and [[Kagoyama]] to the south. Its name derives from the Huotan Strip, a large, semiarid coastal region separated by the from the larger Tangsha (sometimes aenglicized as Tanxia) Desert by the Tai She Hills. Its capital is the coastal city of Nuran, which is also the largest city by size and population, and it has a total population of roughly 44 million people.

Since 1968, Huoxia has been considered by the League of Nations to be an authoritarian state, with varying periods of liberalization and crackdowns related to the often complex family dynamics that have a controlling interest in the economy, politics, and military of the country. Regardless, Huoxia has remained a coherent, albeit corrupt, country through several recent civil conflicts as well as repelling an invasion in 2000-2004 by the [[Zuolihi|State of Zuolihi]].
==History==
====Prehistory====
====First Empire of All-Under-the-Sun====
====All-Peoples' Empire====
====Gurid Dynasty====
====Burgundian Colonial Era====
Visiting Burgundine traders eventually gained special rights and personal docks in Sailghi Iju, with the nearby cities of Nuran and Changsi growing both from immigration to the area and the economic opportunities brought by foreign technology. Nevertheless, the policies of appeasing Occidental traders created a great deal of resentment in the region.
====Sailghi Rebellion====
In 1893, militants attacked the Burgundine Quarter of Sailghi, beginning a military insurrection by the ethnic Menzhou majority. [[Tsu Weigia]], an ostensibly loyalist officer, later defected to the rebel troops and brought much of the Tiauska community with him, overtaking the anti-occidental factions within the rebellion and turning the Sailghi Rebellion into a war of nationalism.
====Post-Eternal Empire Era====
Tsu Weigia served as the first President of Huoxia, beginning a period of economic expansion and population growth that ballooned the local influence of the Huotan Strip from a colonial fringe to a burgeoning state in its own right rivalling the neighboring Oyashima. During this period, he abandoned his Burgundine allies in favor of Kiravian traders in order to espace the debts he had incurred in creating his state, the civil service was expanded to adequately cover the core of the country, and border conflicts with the [[Kloistan|Kloi Empire]] in the west were resolved in the 1896 Treaty of Tanxi. Huoxia did not participate in the First Great War, and after the Restarkist and Cananachist revolutions in the Occident, Huoxia began a period of transition to a similar model of radical republicanism. However, Tsu died in 1908, leaving Huoxia in the hands of his personal cronies and staff.
====Changsi Period====
After Tsu's death, the legislature voted to move its center of operations fron Nuran to Changsi, both for its distance from the country's borders and to take advantage of its rapid growth compared to the historic capital, Sailghi Iju. During this transitional period, the government altered its constitution, changing its judicial branch from a council of three members to a single judge elected by the legislature directly. This gave the legislature considerable power over the government, allowing it to freely dictate policy without presidential interference. While Huoxia continued industrializing, its old guard of idealists and liberals were winnowed away by age and elections.


The Second Great War also passed Huoxia by, with the organization of a Huoxian Free Regiment serving abroad with the Capetian resistance being the only contribution the country made to the conflict.
The Pelaxian Ministry of Defense produced an extensive intelligence report linking the smuggling activities to the High Chieftain Galauenda of Akanatoa. Through this, the Federal Chancellor Valladolid instructed its Primer Minister, Pedro Meireles, to carry out the arrest and/or elimination of the responsible groups devicing this activities.
====Postwar Period====
==Outbreak==
Amendments to the constitution favoring legislators' personal fortunes and interests exponentially degraded the power of the other branches of government throughout the 1940s and 1950s, with a new party, the Party for Huoxia, officially becoming the primary opposition to the People's Representation Organization in 1960. While the PfH was a blatant puppet of the Basun family, a powerful banking and mining clan, it found a large support base in the middle class and the fringes of society left behind by the Assembly. The PfH eventually gained the presidency in 1968, causing the legislature to force through a quickly-written amendment to the constitution making the President an official elected by the legislature itself, the same as the Chief Justice. However, the Assembly elections of 1970 saw the PfH beat the PRO by a single representative, allowing the simple majority rule the Assembly had altered the constitution to create for itself to backfire spectacularly. In a single month, the Chief Justice and First Minister both became Basuns, joining the President in total rule with a plurality in the Assembly. The PfN immediately redrafted the constitution to ban opposition parties outside of the unpopular PRO, which remained strong enough to present a serious challenge in a civil war. The Basuns quietly bought off much of the military command staff, heading off a coup attempt by PRO-aligned officers, and both renamed the legislature the National Body and replaced the position of Chief Justice with the 'People's Mouth', a largely honorary position appointed by the President.

====Yuhuru Rebellion====
[[File:Ataque en fragata.jpeg|thumb|left|Video footage of the on deck fire after the attack on the Gutierrez Class Frigate "NAP Aureliano Castro"]]
''Yuhuru Hawa rebelled along with Republican Front (supported in small part by Faneria and possibly Cape) in 1978, crushed by Basun government and inland Yuhuru states turned into territories in 1982. Fhainnin (or capetian?) ambassador executed, ended(?) indirect Capetian-Fhainnin efforts to convert Huoxia to similar style of government''
On January 2026 two "Guardia Civil" officers were shot and killed at a checkpoint 10 kilometers away from Leg in Savria. These attacks were claimed but the re-formed separatist organizartion FLNS. During the month of January and February, Federal Civil Guard elements cracked down on the attackers. Guardia Civil's presence in Savria and its capital Tabăra was to be reinforced as provincial elections approached. Meireles' reportedly snapped at the Joint Chiefs of Staff "No Fuckery" around the Operation Mare Nostrum, reported RMC News.  


''1998-99 Huoxian Civil War between Basun and Tsaka families''
From the operartion carried out by the Guardia Civil, it was alleged that the guns used by the FLNS have not been funneled from within Anastasio Torque Autonomous Community, and later the Minisitry of Interior, Ministry of Security and the DISEN were instructed to elaborate a comprehensive report on the matter. This report, later titled the "Weapons Lane " report detailed a connection bettween high ranking chiefs of the Akanatoa region and FLNS militants.  
====Modern Era====
In May 2000, the Daizu, a cult based out of neighboring Zuolihi, organized and launched a religious crusade into south-central Huoxia, cutting off rail access to the Tsaka Hawa's inland coal mining enterprises and demanding recognition of their faith in the Huoxian constitution as a protected religious group and a representative in the National Body. In response, Huoxian military assets descended on the region, turning central Huoxia into a warzone as the cult brought in weapons systems and older rockets taken from Zuolihin stockpiles. The Huoxian military was extremely successful in the early stage, wiping out several thousand militants out of an estimated thirty thousand. Hurch communities in the area were highly polarized, with some converting to Daizuism and adopting a radical sect of it, leading to an immediate and brutal crackdown in the area to prevent the spread of the militant religion.


Huoxian forces crossed the ______ River in July, passing into Zuolihi and taking territory up to fourty miles inland. In response, the Zuolihin government, which had done little to stop the Daizu and had several suspected sect members within its cabinet, declared war on Huoxia and invaded in the east in an attempt to cut off supplies to the Huoxian army and quickly take Nuran. The Yu 1 Air Brigade proved instrumental in the conflict, taking moderate losses and scattering the larger but disorganized and unprepared Zuolihin National Army while the spearhead elements of the remaining Red and Purple Banners rushed back to stabilize the frontline. After several months of fighting, the ZNA retreated across the _____ and agreed, without the permission of their government, to end the war, beginning their own [[Zuolihin Faith War|civil conflict]].
Primer Minister Meireles lauched Operation "Mare Nostrum" through national security powers. Naval elements expaned its area of operation and assets in the Kindred Sea to police and secure maritime lanes under the E4 perview and capacity. "This a direct response to the pressure he is handling after the arms smuggling in Sawra" , a Government insider said at the time. This marked the first time a Prime Minister made use of the Smart Defense Act, which gives the Prime Minister powers for emergency military deployment abroad and support of federal forces internally by declaring a state of exception in the event of an explicit threat to national security, if the Chiefdom of the Akanatoa Ipadoes does not extradite regional leaders implicated by the Ministry of Interior in the "Weapons Lane" Report. Political advisors and Chiefs of Staff were described as "uneasy" by a source.


Fighting in the far west continued, as with food from the east stopping during the war, starvation wracked western primarily Hurch areas of the country. While not entirely intentional, it is considered by some countries to be a genocide by the Huoxian government, and up to 200,000 persons were killed by hunger during the Zuo-Huo War. This lead to a crisis with terrorist activity from Hurch militants, and in 2004, the Yellow Party won national elections in a surprise victory, installing Cigu Jangmu as president. President Worekko Tsaka refused to abdicate, and instead ordered the National Body stormed, initiating the Jangmu War. Fighting primarily took place in Nuran itself for the first three months between the Red Banner Division and the legitimate government's Purple Banner Division, with the Jangmu Hawa retreating to the west piecemeal afterwards with the tacit support of the Tsaka's rival family, the Ciangiya. The Ciangiya continued funneling information and small caches of supplies to the Jangmu and Hurch rebels through the Tangsha Desert until regular patrolling by the Red Banner Division made travel extremely dangerous. In March 2005, the White and Green Banner Divisions broke through rebel roadblocks, circumventing the track-breaker teams the militants used to prevent rail resupply and taking the city of Tanxi, leveling much of it in retaliatory actions against stiff local resistance. The Jangmu clan surrendered with terms that severely limited their power afterwards, with the country's lone military shipyard being transferred to the Mahalr Hawa along with a number of other assets being broken up or redistributed to Worekko's loyalists. In mid-2006, organized Hurch resistance was suppressed enough that the conflict ended in a victory declared by the Tsaka government.
By late february a large concentration of pelaxian military assets on key strategic naval bases and ports was noticeable by several media outlets and even several family members of pelaxian service men went on social media expressing concrerns for their relatives being called upong to their bases.


After the Jangmu War, repression against Hurch peopels intensified, with the Tsakas also curtailing the political power of the Ciangiya where possible and expanding their personal army, subordinating the air forces to the Red Banner in 2008. The only family to escape these curtailments entirely were the Mahalr, who saw their previously moderate holdings expand into a major house, adding shipbuilding, additional arms and supplies manufacturing, and resource extraction businesses to their belongings, as well as transferring administrative authority of the city of Changsi to them directly - a privilege previously only held by the Ciangiya and the Tsaka.
On March 20th, the Ministry of Defense reported 1 dead and 2 injured during and attack to a Pelaxian frigate. The Pelaxian Navy confirmed the Gutierrez Class Frigate "NAP Aureliano Castro" was impacted by a weapons smuggling boat loaded with explosives, as a second boat avoided the patrol task force. "This shows an upgrade in Loa smuggling tactics who are willing to target military and security personell in the Kindred", the Navy report said. From the images shared on Ixtwitter, the explosion triggered an on deck fire and fire protocols were initiated. One sailor was confirmed deceased on board, while another two were injured
==Geography==
====Deserts====
Tanxia Desert/Tangsha -
====Coastline====
*''Tai She Hills''
*''Changsi - second largest and center of Mahalr family, rebuilt on slightly different spots after Tanxi Rebellion, CAZ''
*''Tanxi - innermost city from coast, named for Tanxia Desert, def not a CAZ''
*''Yurkur - smaller city, CAZ''
*''Nuran - capital and largest city''
*''Ulut - smaller city, CAZ''
*''Sailghi Iju - major port, CAZ''


Later that month in Loa, the invasion of Lepekepeke has advanced significantly, with the entire eastern half of the itisi being occupied bu the joint forces of Huselesele and Kasanda. The Queen Mother of Jateatea Koaualolo later made an official statement. She stated that the Kingdoms Jateatea, Gokulu and Hasada will intervene militarily against the two invasions, and that Jateatea will be sending approximately 30,000 troops to pacify the Ahoso Rebellions. In addition, the Queen Mother as reportedly allowed the state of Pelaxia to assist in the matter. Although the combined forces of the three kingdoms numbers 700,000 their military is far less disciplined and well supplied then the kapo, who are by nature warmongering.


==Demographics==
By March 2026 full mobilization was issued to the Pelaxian Armed Forces, and by May Operacion Cimitarra was approved.
====Ethnicities====
==Operación Cimitarra==
The major ethnic groups of Huoxia are the Tiauska, Hurch, and Menzhou. All three are interrelated, with Hurchu being the predominant language and the Menzhou being the most populous group. The Tiauska are the second most populous group, and are largely intermingles with southerly peoples. The Hurch, despite being the original ethnicity of both the Menzhou and Tiauska, are by far the smallest, with about three and a half million members largely living inland in the desert and arid regions of the country.
===Galauenda Raid===
[[File:Australia’s Special Operations Task Group mentors Provincial Response Company – Uruzgan 130427-A-FS372-270.jpg|thumb|right|1st RAR engagement route]]
[[File:Australia’s Special Operations Task Group mentors Provincial Response Company – Uruzgan 130427-A-FS372-230.jpg|thumb|left|1st RAR soldier]]
On March 13th, two battalions of the 1st Pioneers Regiment ("Pioneros") and one company of the 1st Rapid Aerial Response Battalion (1st RAR) landed on Akanatoan territory by a swimmer delivery vehicle and inflatable boats under cover of the night. Their mission was to kill or capture Chieftain Galauenda and other 5 of his generals.
The Pioneers were to screen and gather intelligence on the military capacity of the Akanatoan forces around Imahenda and to track the movements of Galauenda, awaiting approval to strike. The combined special operations task force was instructed to create and secure a supply landing zone to substain them vía nocturnal air drop from an A-400M.


Huoxia's government has pursued a policy of discrimination against the Hurch since the 2004-2006 Jangmu War, in which the Hurch supported the Jangmu family opposing the sitting government. This is largely considered an intensification of the previous revocation of statehood of these same areas in 1982, but with the addition of laws pressuring the Hurch to marry into Tiauska and Menzhou families through business licensing and random 'loyalty exams'. The Army Border Police have also been accused of abuses against Hurch civilians in the name of pacifying rebel groups from 2004-2018, after which point no acts of terror in relation to Hurch independence have been noted following the relaxation of the most repressive bolicies and the expansion of Border Police numbers.
On the night of March 31st Operación Cimitarra is green lit and the company of the 1st RAR engages Galauenda’s escort convoy 30 kilometers away from Imahenda. The Ministry of Defense will later report that 3 members of the High Chieftain of Akanatoa General Staff have been killed during an operation carried by the 1st Rapid Aerial Response Battalion (1st RAR) that has been deployed over the region in advance of Operation Cimitarra.  
====Wealth and Health====
Wealth inequality in Huoxia is a significant challenge, as while purchasing power locally allows for a growing middle class, the Huoxian _____ carries very poorly internationally. Most trade is done abroad in resources and precious materials, while banking is largely done in foreign currencies by the oligarchs and to a degree by the central government. The lower class accounts for roughly 70% of the population, with another 28% making up the middle class.


Public healthcare is restricted to government workers and military personnel as an incentive, and a number of semi-dependable clinics and private care systems exist, with Doron Health, a corporation with an oligopoly on native medical instrument production, being a major provider in cities and more generally the coast in spite of its low quality of service. Healthcare is much poorer in the west, with much of the hospital work there done by foreign charities and trainers.
Afterwards 1st RAR was to continue gathering intelligence on key strategic objectives such as ammo depots, radio towers and anti-air positions and secure a supply landing zone for the rest of the special forces in the area. While the 1st Pioneers Regiment were tasked to destroy already marked installations such as radar instalations. The intelligence and marking of objetctived carried out by the Pioneers and the 1st RAR would be key to the following SEAD operation carried out by the Pelaxian Navy and its air assets.
===Sea and Air Operations===
On the 1st of April the Pelaxian Task Force already lurking in the Akanatoan waters started its SEAD operations to destroy or deny the enemy infrastructure and establish a ''No Fly Zone'' over Akanatoa for the following land campaign.  


The government does maintain civic sewage and utilities, while areas outside the cities are left to private enterprises, especially the Tsaka Hawa's own energy companies, which subsidize the benefits given to cities. Quality of life is considerably higher in Nuran and the City Administrative Zones of Sailghi Iju and Changsi than elsewhere, as well as along the ______ River on the southern border due to higher population counts and railways leading west.
The maritime task force was composed of  
====Religion====
* 2 aircraft carriers,
*''christians, most protestant, about 2-3m, George the Burgundine (better name needed?) as patron saint; light persecution by state''
* 20 frigates,
*''common religion is Tugula, tengri-shamanist type faith with some inserted confucian elements, about 20m practicioners''
* 4 submarines,

* 30 corvettes,
==Politics==
* 8 Amphibious transport docks and 
The politics of Huoxia are largely dominated by the Six Families (Great Families, or Hawa), an informal alliance of the largest cliques in the country. One of these Families, the Tsaka, is effectively a dynastic family leading the 'Reds' Party, while the opposing 'Yellows' are composed of a collection of opposing oligarchs who regardless typically work with the Reds due to business and social intermixing.

Together this fleet amassed a force of 160,000 personnel of the Pelaxian Armed Forces and the Federal Civil Guard.


Huoxia's government was a well-coordinated and functioning republic from its breaking with the Eternal Empire in 1875 until the 1950s, after which the government saw a rapid increase in corruption and a series of amendments to its constitution which concentrated power heavily into the Head of State. While technically still a republic, it is highly thassalocratic and dynastic in nature, with the last two presidents having been father and son. Because of these amendments, a brief civil war took place from 2004-2006 after the election of a Yellow government under the much weaker Jangmu family, supported by the Tsaka's major rival, the Ciangiya. The civil war, while a Tsaka victory, did not lead to the dissolution of the Jangmu, but instead lead to their few military contracts and industry being sold to the Tsaka-aligned Mahalr Hawa.
Air raids from the Enterprise Class "Jernónimo l" aircraft carrier began in the morning with Burgundian Rafale M and Urcean F4 Phantoms, making up to 40 sorties per day engaging several ground objectives identified by the special forces on the ground. As per maritime strategy the frigate escort provided anti air protection to the carriers, engaging several Akanatoan small aircraft that threatened the operation of the task force.  
====National Government====
Huoxia's government is split into three branches, with a single-chamber legislature called the National Body (or National Embodiment depending on translation) composed of exactly one hundred members. Appointments and election to the National Body are an eclectic mix of local elections, position assignments, and hereditary positions; of the hundred members, sixty-eight are elected and forty of those are elected by the people in elections of wildly varying complexity and trustworthiness.


The executive branch and judicial branches are each headed by a single member, with the President being an incredibly strong position with the power to unilaterally veto Body decisions, write laws, and levy taxes without legislative input. The President is both Head of State and Government and leads Body proceedings in normal circumstances, and is elected from within the party with a majority of seats. The judicial branch's leader, the People's Mouth, has the ability to veto Presidential decisions and put them before the Body for a vote as well as managing lower judges, but is appointed by the President. The legislature is lead by a First Minister who also heads the cabinet and acts and an aide to the President. Since 1968, the President, People's Mouth, and First Minister have all been from the Red Party.
By the 10th of April nearly all the stationary and logistical reserves of the Akanatoan militia has been destroyed, and the Task Force controlled the airspace over the province.
====Local Government====
===Ground Operation===
Huoxia is broken into seven States, one Province, three Territories, and two City Administrative Zones. States elect local leaders and members to the National Body, the Province contains the capital and is administrated directly but retains the right to elect Body members, the CAZs are assigned governors (typically along traditional family lines) and elect Body members, and the Territories have appointed military governors and no representation. The Territories were States prior to 1982, at which point the end of the Yuhuru Rebellion destroyed the only major Hurch Hawa in the country.
====First Amphibious Operation====
====Political Parties====
[[File:20151004adf8540618 031.jpg|thumb|left|Pelaxian Marine amphibious IFVs training over Jerónimo l aircraft carrier]]
Huoxia has two legal political parties: the Party for Huoxia (Reds) and the People's Representation Organization (Yellows). The political ideals of each are nearly identical except in which oligarchs support them, with both being nationalist, militaristic, protectionist, and to an extent xenophobic in rhetoric but not in practice. The PRO in particular has claimed itself at times to be a Bairdist, Socialist, Pro-Occidental, Pro-Varshani, Islamic, Jewish, Internationalist, and Bannochist party at various times to various foreign groups to attempt to gain support. Of the two, the Party for Huoxia has been the primary party since 2006 and held 61% of the Body as of 2025. The PfH is largely a hereditary party run by the Tsaka Family, who have held power since 1999 after taking party leadership from the destroyed Basun Family.
[[File:R5 244 1994 1368 w1200 h678 fmax.jpg|thumb|right|Pelaxian Marines landing in Prima Island]]
====Oligarchs====
A heavy land base of operations was key for the following land invasion of Operación Cimitarra. The lack of this base would compromise any big land unit that intended to operate in mainland Akanaoa. Eventually a plan was hatched to capture the Prima Island right off the coast of the Imahenda delta. The plan was to carry out an amphibious landing by Pelaxian Marine forces the 12th of April, eject the small Akanatoan presence and establish an airbase on the island.  
The economy of Huoxia is inextricably linked with its political status, with the oligarchs largely drawing from the Six Families (or Hawa) with the exception of a few bright entrepreneurs and businessmen. These newcomers often end up adopted into a Family, and as a result create large conglomerates that dominate the majority of the economy. The most notable are:
*Thousand Embers, a silica and glassware manufacturing, coal mining, and energy production conglomerate run by the ruling Tsaka Family;
*Changsi Industry, a parts and machine manufacturing corporation and defense manufacturer owned by Cuyen Ciangiya;
*Doron Health, a chemicals, medical manufacturing, and processed food conglomerate run by the Doron family;
*Mahalr Steelworks, a defense manufacturing company owned by the Mahalr family;
*Sainho a livestock and agricultural conglomerate run by the Tankai and Ciangiya families;
*Jangmu Jotska, a fishing company owned by Ceng Jangmu.


====Internal Police====
The success of this operation would depend on the performance of the Pelaxian Marine Corps whose task was to get ashore and physically capture the Akanatoan garrison.


In addition to a civil police service, Huoxia's government maintains two paramilitary organization under the umprella of the Huozian Armed Forces - the Eyemben, a militia and street-level enforcement organization, and the Yasa, the internal intelligence service of the country. The Yasa are singularly responsible for foreign and domestic intelligence, and generally oversee political prosecutions within Huoxia as well as being involved with a number of internationally-condemned activities such as extrajudicial killings, deportations, chargeless detainments, torture, and more.
Following the capture of Prima Island, Base Irunga began construction as the main operating base for the combined Pelaxian forces, and to become the biggest foreign operating base of the Pelaxian Armed Forces to date.


==Economy==
Base Irunga would be the seat of the theater command for the rest of the operation.
The Huoxian economy is somewhat diverse, but its export market primarily consists of glass and silica products, coal, and manufactured parts, along with a textile industry which forms a large part of the market available to smaller, independent families. The country imports a large amount of grain to supplement local food production through a state-controlled dole, as well as high-grade oil, cobalt, agricultural and manufacturing machinery, and media. Huoxia is often approached as a movie shot destination by film studios, and Nuran Airport serves as a major connection point for airlines not allowed to land in Danehong as well as for cargo transit across the [[Ocean of Cathay]].
====Airborne Deployment in the North====

[[File:Pelaxian paras.webp|thumb|left|Paratroopers from the 801st Airborne Regiment jumping at noon]]


Economic troubles from the wars of the 2000's largely impacted minority communities and the lower echelons of the elite, leaving the small but growing middle class in relative island of stability. State programs centered on bolstering political support for the Red Party have proven somewhat effective at growing local economies, although the pace of growth is outstripped by the growth of oligarchic businesses, as truly independent ownership is difficult without international sales and contacts.


==Military==
The 813th Air Recon Battalion embarked on CH - 47s and Aérospatiale SA 330 Pumas to perform an air assault landing on Sulaga city, intending to land in the mountains, secure a strategic airfield 10 kilometers from the area to channel in reinforcements and begin to surround the city. This key airfield was nicknamed “La pista de oro” / “The golden strip” some platoons had to switch abruptly to a parachute landing when they learned mid-flight that some landing zones were contested. The air drop began at 03:30 on April 13th in the face of heavy resistance from anti-aircraft guns and several small arms fire. Dassault Rafale M provided support for the landing.  
The Huoxian Armed forces are broken down into four branches: the Falimben, or 'The Gathered', a revolutionary guard organization with control over the major naval and aerospace assets of the country personally loyal to the President; the Eyemben, or 'The Mass', a volunteer militia and internal security force; the Kūwaran, the actual Army of Huoxia; and the Yasa, the country's primary intelligence service.


The Huoxian Armed Forces are partially capable of supplying themselves with armaments, with the notable exception of cutting-edge technologies and naval elements such as ships and complex electronics. Some of this was supplied by [[Varshan]] from 2005-2012, with much of the remaining area filled by [[Corumm|Daxian]] and a few Occidental manufacturers. Since 2012, Huoxia has attempted with minimal success to create indigenous next-generation fighters and tanks. The military operated 34 last and current-gen fighter craft as of 2022, as well as 76 obsolete and trainer craft and approximately eighty to a hundred twenty helicopters. The navy operates sixteen vessels, fifteen of which are corvettes or missile boat craft and only one of which can be classed as a destroyer.
Local construction vehicles were commandeered to help clear landing zones and roads, and one even used to provide mobile cover for the troopers as they moved to seize the heights surrounding the roads.The troopers secured several road junctions and bridges leading to the city by 08:00 AM, and transport planes were able to land and unload additional reinforcements.  


====Falimben====
By 10:00 “The golden strip” was secured enabling CASA C-295 to land several SK-105 tank destroyers to provide fire support for the following troops. Starting at 12:00, troops began landing from the 801st and 802nd Parachute Regiments. Troopers from the 813th fanned out and secured the surrounding area, negotiating the surrender of over 300 Akanatoans in an aviation hangar.  
The Falimben Guard are personally loyal to the Tsa Hawa, and are entrusted with the best equipment, as well as the large naval assets and air forces/advanced air defenses and chemical weapons stocks of Huoxia. It operates a number of modern and near-modern systems, and is approximately three-quarters the size of the regular Army by manpower; Guard members receive more pay, considerably more prestige, and are generally allowed to harass members of the Army and general public. The Falimben is the force most often directly employed to suppress the regular local uprisings in the country's interior, as it generally does not recruit Hurch members despite claiming to allow volunteers of any origin.


====Kūwaran====
At 15:30, major firefights were reported as local militia started counter-attacking.
The Army of Huoxia is a majority-conscript force which maintains a stock of last-generation equipment and fielding several operational units called Banners, organized by color. Banners are roughly analogous to large occidental regiments or brigades, and are trained to fight symmetrically against foreign invaders. The Army has been the least politically involved of the branches of the Armed Forces since 1999, and is almost universally of secondary importance to the Guard due to legal restrictions on its use internally. It is the only branch of the Huoxian Armed Forces which swears loyalty to the Republic itself and not the President.
====Marine landing at Banaluekono====
[[File:150711-N-NI474-158.jpg|thumb|right|First wave of Marines of the 1st Division hitting the beach]]
On April 20th the NAP Enrico, Unión, and Laureano, carrying the 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade under Condestable General Carlos Algabo, deploy the spearhead of the naval infantry operation on the city of Banaluekono, 20 kilometeres away from Imahenda.


Corruption is a significant issue in the Army, as it is largely inferior in pay, prestige, political standing, and is not regularly exercised. The Guard has increasingly taken over the duties normally relegated to the Army, leaving it hollowed-out of quality personnel and mainly extant as a first line of defense to absorb initial attacks by foreign powers, with the Eyemben being equipped to mobilize large numbers of civilians and either provide a large force quickly or supplement rapid expansion of the Eyemben ground units.
First ashore was the Battalion Landing Team 3/9, which arrived on the beach at 8:15 a.m. Wearing full battle gear and carrying RAP-18s, the Marines were met with small arms fire on the beach. Within two hours, Battalion Landing Team 1/3 began landing.


====Paramilitary Forces====
The 7,000 Marines were deployed to secure the town’s airstrip, freeing local rebel militia up for combat. The Marines successfully create a secure beachhead for the rest of the Division, in order to create a second front West of Imahenda and advance north cutting off any Akanatoan forces trying to run into friendly provinces.
The Eyemben and Yasa protect the Huoxian state's internal stability and political elites, but both play a role in national defense as well. On several occasions, Eyemben volunteers and previously conscripts have been used as auxilliary forces to the regular Army and Falimben Guard, used for distraction attacks, asymmetrical fighting forces, and occupational units. The Yasa fulfils the role of a Joint Staff organization during wartime, directly managing concerted operations between the three field forces Huoxia maintains.

==Preparations==
[[File:1651116084 764 Ukraine-Russia-War-Video-Shows-Bushmasters-Used-Against-Vladimir-Putin.jpg|thumb|right|Light Mobility Vehicles from the 14th Motorized Infantry Regiment]]
Before beginning their attack, Pelaxian special forces had established checkpoints around the city to prevent anyone from entering, and to intercept enemy fighters attempting to flee. In addition, overhead imagery was used to prepare maps of the city for use by the attackers. Pelaxian units were augmented by Loa local interpreters to assist them in the planned fight. After weeks of withstanding air strikes and artillery bombardment, the Akanatoan fighters in the city appeared to be vulnerable to direct attack.
Pelaxian Army, Marines, Navy and Special Forces totalled 71,200. The Pelaxian High Command had gathered a complete Marine division of 20,000 and two Army division of 51,600 soldiers that would take part in the assault, with about 2,500 Navy and Special Forces personnel in operational and support roles.

All the BOCs were supported by Marine fixed and rotary-winged aircraft, Navy and Air Force fixed-wing aircraft; 1st Rapid Aerial Response Batallion (1st RAR) teams, 1st Halberd Legion Regiment (1st RAL) battalions and corresponding units from the Logistics and Medical Common Corps.
 
The 1st Rapid Aerial Response Batallion (1st RAR) was ordered to help with the encirclement of Imahenda. As part of the support elements (TBD Unit from Arcerion) prepared to take part in the operation.
 
==Akanatoan Forces==
Imahenda was defended by about 15,000 "regulars" and 5,000+ "part time" conmbatants. Imahenda was occupied by virtually every military unit from the Akanatoan Ipa: TBD,TBD,TBD,TBD.
 
The Akanatoan forces present in the city prepared fortified defenses in advance of the anticipated attack. They dug tunnels, trenches, prepared spider holes, and built and hid a wide variety of IEDs. In some locations they filled the interiors of darkened homes with large numbers of propane bottles, large drums of gasoline, and ordnance, all wired to a remote trigger that could be set off when troops entered the building. They blocked streets with Jersey barriers and even emplaced them within homes to create strong points behind which they could attack unsuspecting troops entering the building.
 
The Akanatoan forces were equipped with a variety of advanced small arms, APCs, trucks, body armor, uniforms and helmets. They booby-trapped buildings and vehicles, including wiring doors and windows to grenades and other ordnance. Anticipating tactics to seize the roof of high buildings, they bricked up stairwells to the roofs of many buildings, creating paths into prepared fields of fire which they hoped the troops would enter.
 
Intelligence briefings given prior to battle reported that Pelaxian forces would encounter Istrenyan, and Daxian combatants, as well as native Akanatoans.
===Phase 1===
Special Forces Attachment secures Gulf Island: Both the Pelaxian 1st Rapid Aerial Response Batallion (1st RAR) and the Arco Commando served as the main effort on the island and supported by the 1st Halberd Legion Regiment (1st RAL). These initial attacks, however, were aimed to secure access to the city’s gulf and establish a base for artillery and forward command posts on the small island covering the mouth of the river.
 
The island was mainly unguarded with only small groups of armed akanatoan militias. A special force attachment was trusted with this operation in order to minimize collateral damage to sacred and holy places that were present all over the territory. 1st RAR landed at 11.00 and around 13.00 the 1st RAL encountered small arms fire that was quickly taken care of. By 15.00 the whole island was considered secured and no damages to holy structures were reported.
 
The island would be used as a base for command and support units following the next phase of the invasion. Artillery units began to be air dropped by 16.00 and by 20.00 a Forward Operating Base was under construction.

===Phase 2===
[[File:Akanatoa brige.jpg|thumb|One of the three destroyed bridges linking west and east Imahenda]]
After the 2nd Marine Engineer Regiment interrupted and disabled electrical power at two substations located just northeast and northwest of the city. At the same time, one batallion of the 1st Halberd Legion Regiment (1st RAL) secured the electrical power station southwest of the city.
 
Once the main special forces elements have secured these key infrasatructure, the 2nd Expeditionary Brigade of the 2nd Marine Division launched an attack along the southern coast of the city, right over the industrial sector. The marines were to clear the initial landing site in order to spearhead the advance over the key industrial sector of the city. Advancing north and following the river on both the west and east bank, their objective was to clear the industrial sector of any enemy presence and secure three bridges for later demolition. The destruction of the bridges would pocket any Akanatoan forces east of the river.
 
===Phase 3: 3rd Army Division Lands===
[[File:3rdarmy.jpg|thumb|Soldier of the 3rd Army Division in the market area of the port of Imahenda]]
[[File:DestroyedPlxAPC.jpg|thumb|Destroyed MILCAR Macanche APC on a street of Imahenda's business district.]]
After securing the electrical power stations and clearing the initial landing site, the 2nd Expeditionary Brigade of the 2nd Marine Division advanced north along the river to secure the key industrial sector of the city. Their objective was to clear the area of any enemy presence and secure three bridges for later demolition, in order to trap any Akanatoan forces east of the river.
 
Meanwhile, the 3rd Army Division was preparing to launch a strategic operation to further reinforce the Pelaxian apmhibious operation. They landed on the main port area of the capital, with the mission to secure both banks of the port area united by the main bridge, and then link up with the 2nd Marine Division and relieve them as an in-depth landing force. The 3rd Army Division brought in additional troops and equipment to bolster the Pelaxian landing in the city. They secured the southern flank of the operation and coordinated with the 2nd Marine Division to continue the advance towards the city's business sector. Despite facing stiff resistance from Akanatoan forces, the Pelaxian military's strategic planning and well-coordinated operations enabled them to make steady progress towards achieving their objectives. With the arrival of the 3rd Army Division, the Pelaxian military's position in the city was further strengthened, giving them a significant advantage in the ongoing battle.
 
In addition to reinforcing the Pelaxian military's position in the city, the 3rd Army Division had a final objective to advance towards the key governmental buildings in the city, advancing through the business sector first. This was a critical target that needed to be secured in order to gain control of the city and establish a strong foothold for future operations. The 3rd Army Division began their advance towards the governmental buildings, coordinating closely with the 2nd Marine Division and other special forces units in the outskirts of the city. They faced stiff resistance from Akanatoan forces who were fiercely defending their capital city, but the Pelaxian military's well-coordinated operations enabled them to steadily push forward towards their objectives.
 
With the support of air and artillery units, the 3rd Army Division made significant progress towards their objective, securing key positions and eliminating enemy resistance along the way, while at the same time sustaining heavy loses in equipment and manpower due to less than adequate protection for high intensity urban combat. Despite facing difficult conditions, the Pelaxian military's determination and superior tactics enabled them to achieve their objectives and establish a strong foothold in the region.

The Akanatoa is an ongoing military conflict between Pelaxia, Loa Republic and the Akanatoa Chiefdom.

Background

The Akanatoa Chiefdom has been linked with Pelaxian local terrorist and separatist organization from the province of Savria. Under the perview of E4 commitments Pelaxia has been carrying out counter-smuggling operations over the Kindred Sea to deny Loa smugglers free movement in the sea and prevent them from smuggling weapons into Pelaxia.

The Pelaxian Ministry of Defense produced an extensive intelligence report linking the smuggling activities to the High Chieftain Galauenda of Akanatoa. Through this, the Federal Chancellor Valladolid instructed its Primer Minister, Pedro Meireles, to carry out the arrest and/or elimination of the responsible groups devicing this activities.

Outbreak

On January 2026 two "Guardia Civil" officers were shot and killed at a checkpoint 10 kilometers away from Leg in Savria. These attacks were claimed but the re-formed separatist organizartion FLNS. During the month of January and February, Federal Civil Guard elements cracked down on the attackers. Guardia Civil's presence in Savria and its capital Tabăra was to be reinforced as provincial elections approached. Meireles' reportedly snapped at the Joint Chiefs of Staff "No Fuckery" around the Operation Mare Nostrum, reported RMC News.

From the operartion carried out by the Guardia Civil, it was alleged that the guns used by the FLNS have not been funneled from within Anastasio Torque Autonomous Community, and later the Minisitry of Interior, Ministry of Security and the DISEN were instructed to elaborate a comprehensive report on the matter. This report, later titled the "Weapons Lane " report detailed a connection bettween high ranking chiefs of the Akanatoa region and FLNS militants.

Primer Minister Meireles lauched Operation "Mare Nostrum" through national security powers. Naval elements expaned its area of operation and assets in the Kindred Sea to police and secure maritime lanes under the E4 perview and capacity. "This a direct response to the pressure he is handling after the arms smuggling in Sawra" , a Government insider said at the time. This marked the first time a Prime Minister made use of the Smart Defense Act, which gives the Prime Minister powers for emergency military deployment abroad and support of federal forces internally by declaring a state of exception in the event of an explicit threat to national security, if the Chiefdom of the Akanatoa Ipadoes does not extradite regional leaders implicated by the Ministry of Interior in the "Weapons Lane" Report. Political advisors and Chiefs of Staff were described as "uneasy" by a source.

By late february a large concentration of pelaxian military assets on key strategic naval bases and ports was noticeable by several media outlets and even several family members of pelaxian service men went on social media expressing concrerns for their relatives being called upong to their bases.

On March 20th, the Ministry of Defense reported 1 dead and 2 injured during and attack to a Pelaxian frigate. The Pelaxian Navy confirmed the Gutierrez Class Frigate "NAP Aureliano Castro" was impacted by a weapons smuggling boat loaded with explosives, as a second boat avoided the patrol task force. "This shows an upgrade in Loa smuggling tactics who are willing to target military and security personell in the Kindred", the Navy report said. From the images shared on Ixtwitter, the explosion triggered an on deck fire and fire protocols were initiated. One sailor was confirmed deceased on board, while another two were injured

Later that month in Loa, the invasion of Lepekepeke has advanced significantly, with the entire eastern half of the itisi being occupied bu the joint forces of Huselesele and Kasanda. The Queen Mother of Jateatea Koaualolo later made an official statement. She stated that the Kingdoms Jateatea, Gokulu and Hasada will intervene militarily against the two invasions, and that Jateatea will be sending approximately 30,000 troops to pacify the Ahoso Rebellions. In addition, the Queen Mother as reportedly allowed the state of Pelaxia to assist in the matter. Although the combined forces of the three kingdoms numbers 700,000 their military is far less disciplined and well supplied then the kapo, who are by nature warmongering.

By March 2026 full mobilization was issued to the Pelaxian Armed Forces, and by May Operacion Cimitarra was approved.

Operación Cimitarra

Galauenda Raid

1st RAR engagement route
1st RAR soldier

On March 13th, two battalions of the 1st Pioneers Regiment ("Pioneros") and one company of the 1st Rapid Aerial Response Battalion (1st RAR) landed on Akanatoan territory by a swimmer delivery vehicle and inflatable boats under cover of the night. Their mission was to kill or capture Chieftain Galauenda and other 5 of his generals. The Pioneers were to screen and gather intelligence on the military capacity of the Akanatoan forces around Imahenda and to track the movements of Galauenda, awaiting approval to strike. The combined special operations task force was instructed to create and secure a supply landing zone to substain them vía nocturnal air drop from an A-400M.

On the night of March 31st Operación Cimitarra is green lit and the company of the 1st RAR engages Galauenda’s escort convoy 30 kilometers away from Imahenda. The Ministry of Defense will later report that 3 members of the High Chieftain of Akanatoa General Staff have been killed during an operation carried by the 1st Rapid Aerial Response Battalion (1st RAR) that has been deployed over the region in advance of Operation Cimitarra.

Afterwards 1st RAR was to continue gathering intelligence on key strategic objectives such as ammo depots, radio towers and anti-air positions and secure a supply landing zone for the rest of the special forces in the area. While the 1st Pioneers Regiment were tasked to destroy already marked installations such as radar instalations. The intelligence and marking of objetctived carried out by the Pioneers and the 1st RAR would be key to the following SEAD operation carried out by the Pelaxian Navy and its air assets.

Sea and Air Operations

On the 1st of April the Pelaxian Task Force already lurking in the Akanatoan waters started its SEAD operations to destroy or deny the enemy infrastructure and establish a No Fly Zone over Akanatoa for the following land campaign.

The maritime task force was composed of

  • 2 aircraft carriers,
  • 20 frigates,
  • 4 submarines,
  • 30 corvettes,
  • 8 Amphibious transport docks and
  • 2 landing ship tanks.

Together this fleet amassed a force of 160,000 personnel of the Pelaxian Armed Forces and the Federal Civil Guard.

Air raids from the Enterprise Class "Jernónimo l" aircraft carrier began in the morning with Burgundian Rafale M and Urcean F4 Phantoms, making up to 40 sorties per day engaging several ground objectives identified by the special forces on the ground. As per maritime strategy the frigate escort provided anti air protection to the carriers, engaging several Akanatoan small aircraft that threatened the operation of the task force.

By the 10th of April nearly all the stationary and logistical reserves of the Akanatoan militia has been destroyed, and the Task Force controlled the airspace over the province.

Ground Operation

First Amphibious Operation

Pelaxian Marines landing in Prima Island

A heavy land base of operations was key for the following land invasion of Operación Cimitarra. The lack of this base would compromise any big land unit that intended to operate in mainland Akanaoa. Eventually a plan was hatched to capture the Prima Island right off the coast of the Imahenda delta. The plan was to carry out an amphibious landing by Pelaxian Marine forces the 12th of April, eject the small Akanatoan presence and establish an airbase on the island.

The success of this operation would depend on the performance of the Pelaxian Marine Corps whose task was to get ashore and physically capture the Akanatoan garrison.

Following the capture of Prima Island, Base Irunga began construction as the main operating base for the combined Pelaxian forces, and to become the biggest foreign operating base of the Pelaxian Armed Forces to date.

Base Irunga would be the seat of the theater command for the rest of the operation.

Airborne Deployment in the North

The 813th Air Recon Battalion embarked on CH - 47s and Aérospatiale SA 330 Pumas to perform an air assault landing on Sulaga city, intending to land in the mountains, secure a strategic airfield 10 kilometers from the area to channel in reinforcements and begin to surround the city. This key airfield was nicknamed “La pista de oro” / “The golden strip” some platoons had to switch abruptly to a parachute landing when they learned mid-flight that some landing zones were contested. The air drop began at 03:30 on April 13th in the face of heavy resistance from anti-aircraft guns and several small arms fire. Dassault Rafale M provided support for the landing.

Local construction vehicles were commandeered to help clear landing zones and roads, and one even used to provide mobile cover for the troopers as they moved to seize the heights surrounding the roads.The troopers secured several road junctions and bridges leading to the city by 08:00 AM, and transport planes were able to land and unload additional reinforcements.

By 10:00 “The golden strip” was secured enabling CASA C-295 to land several SK-105 tank destroyers to provide fire support for the following troops. Starting at 12:00, troops began landing from the 801st and 802nd Parachute Regiments. Troopers from the 813th fanned out and secured the surrounding area, negotiating the surrender of over 300 Akanatoans in an aviation hangar.

At 15:30, major firefights were reported as local militia started counter-attacking.

Marine landing at Banaluekono

On April 20th the NAP Enrico, Unión, and Laureano, carrying the 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade under Condestable General Carlos Algabo, deploy the spearhead of the naval infantry operation on the city of Banaluekono, 20 kilometeres away from Imahenda.

First ashore was the Battalion Landing Team 3/9, which arrived on the beach at 8:15 a.m. Wearing full battle gear and carrying RAP-18s, the Marines were met with small arms fire on the beach. Within two hours, Battalion Landing Team 1/3 began landing.

The 7,000 Marines were deployed to secure the town’s airstrip, freeing local rebel militia up for combat. The Marines successfully create a secure beachhead for the rest of the Division, in order to create a second front West of Imahenda and advance north cutting off any Akanatoan forces trying to run into friendly provinces.

Battle of Imahenda

Preparations

Before beginning their attack, Pelaxian special forces had established checkpoints around the city to prevent anyone from entering, and to intercept enemy fighters attempting to flee. In addition, overhead imagery was used to prepare maps of the city for use by the attackers. Pelaxian units were augmented by Loa local interpreters to assist them in the planned fight. After weeks of withstanding air strikes and artillery bombardment, the Akanatoan fighters in the city appeared to be vulnerable to direct attack. Pelaxian Army, Marines, Navy and Special Forces totalled 71,200. The Pelaxian High Command had gathered a complete Marine division of 20,000 and two Army division of 51,600 soldiers that would take part in the assault, with about 2,500 Navy and Special Forces personnel in operational and support roles.

Troops were grouped in three Divisions comprising the "Cuerpo de Armas Combinadas de Imahenda" (Imahenda Combined Arms Corps)

Special Forces Attachment

  • 1st Rapid Aerial Response Batallion (1st RAR)
  • 1st Halberd Legion Regiment (1st RAL)


All the BOCs were supported by Marine fixed and rotary-winged aircraft, Navy and Air Force fixed-wing aircraft; 1st Rapid Aerial Response Batallion (1st RAR) teams, 1st Halberd Legion Regiment (1st RAL) battalions and corresponding units from the Logistics and Medical Common Corps.

The 1st Rapid Aerial Response Batallion (1st RAR) was ordered to help with the encirclement of Imahenda. As part of the support elements (TBD Unit from Arcerion) prepared to take part in the operation.

Akanatoan Forces

Imahenda was defended by about 15,000 "regulars" and 5,000+ "part time" conmbatants. Imahenda was occupied by virtually every military unit from the Akanatoan Ipa: TBD,TBD,TBD,TBD.

The Akanatoan forces present in the city prepared fortified defenses in advance of the anticipated attack. They dug tunnels, trenches, prepared spider holes, and built and hid a wide variety of IEDs. In some locations they filled the interiors of darkened homes with large numbers of propane bottles, large drums of gasoline, and ordnance, all wired to a remote trigger that could be set off when troops entered the building. They blocked streets with Jersey barriers and even emplaced them within homes to create strong points behind which they could attack unsuspecting troops entering the building.

The Akanatoan forces were equipped with a variety of advanced small arms, APCs, trucks, body armor, uniforms and helmets. They booby-trapped buildings and vehicles, including wiring doors and windows to grenades and other ordnance. Anticipating tactics to seize the roof of high buildings, they bricked up stairwells to the roofs of many buildings, creating paths into prepared fields of fire which they hoped the troops would enter.

Intelligence briefings given prior to battle reported that Pelaxian forces would encounter Istrenyan, and Daxian combatants, as well as native Akanatoans.

Phase 1

Special Forces Attachment secures Gulf Island: Both the Pelaxian 1st Rapid Aerial Response Batallion (1st RAR) and the Arco Commando served as the main effort on the island and supported by the 1st Halberd Legion Regiment (1st RAL). These initial attacks, however, were aimed to secure access to the city’s gulf and establish a base for artillery and forward command posts on the small island covering the mouth of the river.

The island was mainly unguarded with only small groups of armed akanatoan militias. A special force attachment was trusted with this operation in order to minimize collateral damage to sacred and holy places that were present all over the territory. 1st RAR landed at 11.00 and around 13.00 the 1st RAL encountered small arms fire that was quickly taken care of. By 15.00 the whole island was considered secured and no damages to holy structures were reported.

The island would be used as a base for command and support units following the next phase of the invasion. Artillery units began to be air dropped by 16.00 and by 20.00 a Forward Operating Base was under construction.

Phase 2

After the 2nd Marine Engineer Regiment interrupted and disabled electrical power at two substations located just northeast and northwest of the city. At the same time, one batallion of the 1st Halberd Legion Regiment (1st RAL) secured the electrical power station southwest of the city.

Once the main special forces elements have secured these key infrasatructure, the 2nd Expeditionary Brigade of the 2nd Marine Division launched an attack along the southern coast of the city, right over the industrial sector. The marines were to clear the initial landing site in order to spearhead the advance over the key industrial sector of the city. Advancing north and following the river on both the west and east bank, their objective was to clear the industrial sector of any enemy presence and secure three bridges for later demolition. The destruction of the bridges would pocket any Akanatoan forces east of the river.

Phase 3: 3rd Army Division Lands

After securing the electrical power stations and clearing the initial landing site, the 2nd Expeditionary Brigade of the 2nd Marine Division advanced north along the river to secure the key industrial sector of the city. Their objective was to clear the area of any enemy presence and secure three bridges for later demolition, in order to trap any Akanatoan forces east of the river.

Meanwhile, the 3rd Army Division was preparing to launch a strategic operation to further reinforce the Pelaxian apmhibious operation. They landed on the main port area of the capital, with the mission to secure both banks of the port area united by the main bridge, and then link up with the 2nd Marine Division and relieve them as an in-depth landing force. The 3rd Army Division brought in additional troops and equipment to bolster the Pelaxian landing in the city. They secured the southern flank of the operation and coordinated with the 2nd Marine Division to continue the advance towards the city's business sector. Despite facing stiff resistance from Akanatoan forces, the Pelaxian military's strategic planning and well-coordinated operations enabled them to make steady progress towards achieving their objectives. With the arrival of the 3rd Army Division, the Pelaxian military's position in the city was further strengthened, giving them a significant advantage in the ongoing battle.

In addition to reinforcing the Pelaxian military's position in the city, the 3rd Army Division had a final objective to advance towards the key governmental buildings in the city, advancing through the business sector first. This was a critical target that needed to be secured in order to gain control of the city and establish a strong foothold for future operations. The 3rd Army Division began their advance towards the governmental buildings, coordinating closely with the 2nd Marine Division and other special forces units in the outskirts of the city. They faced stiff resistance from Akanatoan forces who were fiercely defending their capital city, but the Pelaxian military's well-coordinated operations enabled them to steadily push forward towards their objectives.

With the support of air and artillery units, the 3rd Army Division made significant progress towards their objective, securing key positions and eliminating enemy resistance along the way, while at the same time sustaining heavy loses in equipment and manpower due to less than adequate protection for high intensity urban combat. Despite facing difficult conditions, the Pelaxian military's determination and superior tactics enabled them to achieve their objectives and establish a strong foothold in the region.
