In the immediate aftermath of the [[Invasion of Cetsencalia]] and fall of [[New Constanz]], [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] forces were divided in two, with most forces in the parts of [[Cetsencalia]] west of New Constanz but a smaller contingent east of the city in the mountainous region adjoining [[Quetzenkel]]. NSTA forces underwent a major reorganization in the two or three weeks following the fall of New Constanz, shifting forces evenly in an attempt to hold the Varshani forces to where they had progressed while ensuring that the [[Quetzenkel front]] would not be compromised. This period also saw a considerable transfer of assets and units to the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]]. | In the immediate aftermath of the [[Invasion of Cetsencalia]] and fall of [[New Constanz]], [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] forces were divided in two, with most forces in the parts of [[Cetsencalia]] west of New Constanz but a smaller contingent east of the city in the mountainous region adjoining [[Quetzenkel]].

This period also saw a considerable transfer of assets and units to the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]]. During this time, the administration of the area was also reorganized as the [[Veltorine Territories]] due to the capitulation and collaborator status of the former government of Cetsencalia. | ||

Beginning in late October of 2021, [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] and [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]] began a series of joint operations intended to free Urcean and Veltorine {{wp|prisoner of war|prisoners of war}} behind Varshani lines. The operation was devised for three main objectives. Its primary objective was to lift allied morale with a series of minor victories following the disastrous campaign in defense of New Constanz and to gain further information on the overall disposition of Varshani forces remaining in the theater. Its secondary objective was to continue to tie down Varshani forces to distract from campaigns further south waged by [[Alstin]] and [[Urcea]], especially the [[Ehemoan front]] and [[Operation Jonah]]. The third and tertiary objective of the planned raids was to prevent as many Urceans and Veltorines as possible from being victims of {{wp|human sacrifice}}, and to otherwise prevent these personnel from joining the ranks of Varshani slaves. To that end, the Royal and Imperial Army and VPDC launched {{wp|Reconnaissance#Reconnaissance-in-force|probing raids}} all across the western frontier from October 25 to November 18 2021 in what became known to the soldiers as the "Raider's War". During these operations, various supply depots and slave transfer stations were attacked, freeing prisoners of war and significantly disrupting the expropriation of property in Cetsencalia. The "Raider's War" was highly effective and required an additional deployment of Varshani forces to the lines in Cetsencalia. Although no further coordinated raid campaign occurred, Urcean and VPDC forces spent the remainder of thw winter of 2021-22 launching ad hoc raids to disrupt slave transfers as well as to confuse Varshani supply and intelligence. | Beginning in late October of 2021, [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] and [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]] began a series of joint operations intended to free Urcean and Veltorine {{wp|prisoner of war|prisoners of war}} behind Varshani lines.
