While most of the fighting subsided by 13 May, the Pelaxian Marines and Special Operations Forces continued to face determined isolated resistance from insurgents hidden throughout the city. By 16 May, after nine days of fighting, the Marine command described the action as mopping up pockets of resistance. Sporadic fighting continued until 23 June. | While most of the fighting subsided by 13 May, the Pelaxian Marines and Special Operations Forces continued to face determined isolated resistance from insurgents hidden throughout the city.

=Death of Kalauenda: Operation Deguello= | |||
In the waning days of the Akanatoan conflict, the theater of war had shifted, and a new set of challenges and objectives had emerged. The protracted struggle had taken a heavy toll on both the Pelaxian government and the Akanatoan forces, creating an environment ripe for alliances and pivotal operations. | |||
The turning point in the war came when a daring and meticulously planned operation led to the capture and ultimate elimination of Kalauenda, the enigmatic and embattled cartel leader who had plunged the region into chaos. A clandestine alliance of local Loa forces, with the crucial backing of Pelaxian military advisors, managed to apprehend Kalauenda in a covert operation that drew on intelligence networks from both Pelaxia and Loa. This momentous event sent shockwaves through the Akanatoan insurgent ranks, destabilizing their already fragile unity. The capture of Kalauenda stands as a watershed moment in the Akanatoan War, marking a significant turning point that would set the stage for the conflict's conclusion. | |||
In the late night hours of November 9, 2032, a clandestine alliance of local forces, known for their exceptional combat skills, embarked on a daring mission deep within outskirts of Legada. This combined group was complemented by Pelxian 1st RAR soldiers and the 45th Termian Regiment who had extensive experience in asymmetric jungle warfare. The operation was born from a synergy of intelligence networks, meticulously coordinated by both Pelaxia and the Takatta Loa government. Precise information concerning Kalauenda's location and his immediate security detail was gathered over months of painstaking work by dedicated operatives. | |||
As darkness cloaked the Akanatoan wilderness, the combined team moved stealthily toward their objective. Their actions were shrouded in silence and executed with clinical precision. The element of surprise was absolute, taking full advantage of the sparsely inhabited and densely forested environment, ensuring the enemy was caught off guard. | |||
In the ensuing engagement, an intense firefight erupted as the special forces closed in on Kalauenda's hidden safehouse. Although the enemy offered a fierce resistance, the tactical expertise of the Pelaxian advisors and the cover of the local special forces gradually tightened the net around Kalauenda and his loyalists. By the early morning of November 10, Kalauenda has been reported killed. Kalauenda, the enigmatic and embattled cartel leader, was ultimately eliminated, as successful operation unraveled the core of the rebel network. | |||
The capture and elimination of Kalauenda sent shockwaves through the ranks of the Akanatoan insurgents, undermining their unity and resolve. This event marked a turning point in the Akanatoan War and paved the way for the subsequent transition to settling the conlfict and facilitating stability in the region. | |||
==Nothern pacification: Operation Yunque == | |||
Following the elimination of Kalauenda, the intricate choreography of the war's endgame took center stage. The rebel forces, now rudderless and in disarray, had lost their charismatic and enigmatic leader, and a power vacuum began to emerge. In response to this strategic shift, both the Pelaxian and Loa Republic high commands saw an opportune moment to declare a formal cease to large-scale military operations. | |||
The transition to peace was underpinned by a military operation in the highlands carried out by the 1st Airborne Legion garrisoned across the mountainous valley. In mid November 2032, Opetation Yunque was green lit and the 800th Parachute Regiment, 801st Parachute Regiment, 802nd Parachute Regiment and 813th Air Recon Batallion went on an offensive raid of key urban centers in northern Akanatoa. As the vanguard of the transition, they played a pivotal role in securing the key areas left in disarray by the sudden vacuum of rebel power. | |||
Their presence in the affected regions was an unmistakable symbol of both strength and commitment to the peace process. Their deployment across the most volatile regions signaled that the military high commands were prepared to enforce the cease of large-scale military operations rigorously. In regions where the rebels had once held sway, the 1st Airborne Legion brought finally security and stability. | |||
=Transition= | |||
In the wake of the cessation of large-scale military operations and the pivotal elimination of Kalauenda, the Akanatoan conflict entered a new phase. It was a period of transition, from the intense battles and gruelling ocupation and security operations of the past to the delicate work of steadily pacifying and abandoning the land. The success of this transformative stage rested heavily upon the strong and capable shoulders of the "Mountain Wolves Brigade," a renowned unit skilled in the complexities of mountain warfare, counterinsurgency, and pacification operations. | |||
As the conflict in Akanatoa shifted gears, the involvement of the Pelaxian military began to wane, making way for the ascendance of the Loa Republic in managing its own security and military operations. This significant transition marked a turning point in the journey towards stability and self-governance. The summit of Loa leaders was a critical juncture in the timeline of this transition. Key figures from the Loa Republic, both military and political, convened at Imahenda to forge a comprehensive strategy for assuming control of their nation's security. The primary objective was to ensure a seamless handover of authority while preserving the gains made during the joint operations with Pelaxia. | |||
At the heart of this transition was the 2nd Expeditionary Legion of the 2nd Marine Division and attatchment of the Federal Civil Guard, who have been occupying the capital of Akanatoa since the firs amphibious operation. While their mission initially focused on quelling the remnants of Akanatoan forces and later supressing any insurgent uprising, it soon evolved to serve as a guiding light for the incoming Loa military. | |||
The Loa leadership recognized the expertise and experience that the Federal Civil Guard brought to the table. With their help, Loa forces would learn the intricacies of counterinsurgency tactics, community engagement, and military-civilian coordination. This exchange of knowledge was pivotal in ensuring that the Loa Republic could independently address its own security concerns. | |||
The FCG was instrumental in training Loa soldiers, imparting valuable lessons in distinguishing insurgents from non-combatants and fostering connections with local communities. The Loa Republic's military gradually took over responsibilities and established its presence in areas previously patrolled by Pelaxian forces. As Loa Republic forces assumed control, the Pelaxian military began its gradual withdrawal from mainland Akanatoa. The FCG played a dual role, not only as a skilled policing unit but also as advisors and liassons during this period. Their dedication and commitment to a smooth transition helped instill confidence in the Loa leadership and military, setting the stage for the Loa Republic to take charge of its own security. | |||
The transition of military responsibility was a defining phase in the post-conflict landscape. It signified the empowerment of the Loa Republic, as they assumed full control of their national security. This change allowed Pelaxia to redeploy its forces elsewhere, all while maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship with the Loa Republic, with a shared commitment to regional stability and prosperity. | |||
=Aftermath= | |||
==Imahenda Accords== | |||
The Imahenda Accords, stood as a landmark bilateral agreement between the Loa Republic and Pelaxia. This historic pact was characterized by three key points that would significantly shape the future of their relationship and regional dynamics. | |||
'''Establishment of a Permanent Pelaxian Air-Naval Base in Akanatoa:''' | |||
The heart of the Imahenda Accords lay in the establishment of a permanent Pelaxian Air-Naval base off the coast of Akanatoa, an endeavor both nations embarked upon with mutual understanding. The choice of this location, named Base Irunga, was strategic and aimed at maximizing regional security and cooperation. The Accords defined the terms of operation, detailing the rights and responsibilities of both parties, ensuring that the base would serve as a platform for regional stability. | |||
'''Withdrawal of All Pelaxian Military Personnel from Mainland Akanatoa:''' | |||
In an unmistakable gesture of good faith, Pelaxia committed to the full withdrawal of its military personnel from mainland Akanatoa. This marked the end of an era defined by military presence and ushered in a new era where the Loa Republic would take charge of its internal security and stability. The withdrawal was a process carefully executed to ensure a smooth transition, setting the stage for the Loa Republic to assert its sovereignty over its territory. | |||
A 100-Mile Prohibited Zone for Non-Pelaxian Military Vessels: | |||
One of the cornerstones of the Imahenda Accords was the delineation of a 100-mile prohibited zone off the Akanatoan coast. This exclusive maritime zone was reserved for Pelaxian military vessels, ensuring that the sea routes near Akanatoa would be secured and monitored by Pelaxian Navy. The zone stood as a buffer against potential threats and external interference, enhancing regional stability and security of this key entrance to the Kindred Sea. | |||
The Imahenda Accords were a testament to the commitment of both the Loa Republic and Pelaxia to safeguarding the future of the Akanatoan region. They marked the beginning of a new chapter where cooperation, shared security, and mutual respect were the guiding principles of their relationship. With the signing of the Imahenda Accords, the two nations looked forward to a future where they worked in harmony to secure their shared interests and foster prosperity in the region. | |||
Amid these challenges, the Imahenda Accords fostered a strengthening of diplomatic relations between the Loa Republic and Pelaxia. Both nations recognized the importance of maintaining a constructive dialogue and finding common ground in the post-conflict era. Through regular diplomatic channels, they worked on areas of cooperation, economic collaboration, and regional security. | |||
The political aftermath of the Imahenda Accords was a dynamic and evolving landscape, marked by both progress and persistent challenges. | |||
==Air-Naval Irunga Base== | |||
The permantent establishment of Base Irunga marked a significant milestone in the transition from a theater of conflict to a stable and secure region. Situated off the coast of Akanatoa, Base Irunga was envisioned as a permanent Pelaxian Air-Naval facility, playing a pivotal role in regional security and cooperation. The development of Base Irunga was guided by an array of maritime and aerial assets operated by the Pelaxian Navy. The base would be allowed and able to sustain a diverse fleet that included frigates, submarines, and a range of support vessels, two regiments of Pelaxian Marines at all times while another was in rotation and at least a squadron of Rafale fighter jets. These assets were integral to enforcing the agreement of a forward operating base, which would serve as a safeguard against any resurgence of rebel factions or potential external threats that the Loa Republic could face within Vallos. | |||
The development of Base Irunga was met with a degree of local support and partnership, as the Loa Republic recognized the benefits of having a strategic Pelaxian facility in the region. | |||
==Pelaxian Irredentism== | |||
One of the key accomplishments of the Imahenda Accords was the mitigation of irredentist sentiments within Pelaxia. Irredentism, a political movement advocating the reintegration of lost territories, had simmered in the background, particularly concerning Takatta Loa. The withdrawal of Pelaxian military personnel from mainland Akanatoa and the establishment of Base Irunga signaled a willingness to respect the sovereignty of the Loa Republic, effectively quelling these irredentist voices. However, the Accords did not silence all critics. Skeptics voiced concerns over the potential for a neocolonial relationship, questioning the true motivations behind the establishment of a permanent Pelaxian Air-Naval base. | |||
==The home front== | |||
The Akanatoan conflict had resulted in a significant loss of Pelaxian lives. This loss weighed heavily on the public and the government alike. Families of fallen soldiers, veterans, and a war-weary populace demanded accountability and justice for the sacrifices made. The Accords necessitated an introspective look at the costs of military interventions and raised calls for improved strategies and better equipment for urban warfare scenarios. | |||
The glaring inadequacy of the Pelaxian military in urban warfare had been laid bare during the conflict. The urban warfare environment in Akanatoa had exposed a need for significant military reform, pushing for more adaptive training, urban warfare simulation, and adecquate vehicles. The government faced pressure to reevaluate military doctrine and invest in modernization to meet contemporary challenges. | |||
