Section VIII
July 10, 2072.[July 10, 2004] Five high explosive bombs went off during the independence day celebrations in Golden Skies City. July 11, 2072 [July 11, 2004], President Stevan Daniels calls for international aid, for reconstruction of the affected areas of Golden Skies City and for military aid in finally ridding the continent of the Kazach Order. July 12, 2072 [July 12, 2004] Van Luxemburgian foreign forces arrive at Golden Skies Air Force Base to restore order and assist in reconstruction.
Operation Cannibal is launched on July 12, 2072 [July 12, 2004]. Cannibal consists of a massive airspace sweep over the continent, all commercial traffic is ceased and Vuhifellian fighter squadrons are ordered to shoot down any and all planes not registered as "VL/VAF" on their IFF. The only kills from that operation are credited to Mobius squadrons and Grabacr squadrons, both escorting Van Luxemburgian aircraft into friendly airspace, after the foreign aircraft landed, both squadrons engaged a group of Kazach AH-64 'Apache' helicopters above the Aare River. Twelve helicopters were shot down and their pilots killed. Another AH-64 was shot down, and its crew taken prisoner.
July 12, 2072 [July 12,2004] Foxtecha officially announces the Elite Black Guard's cooperation in all VA operations. Squads 01-19 are mobilized to secure Golden Skies City. Squads 20-48 are immediately sent to the Northern Region to provide security for its large natural resource reserves. Squad 49 takes independent action and launches its own security campaign in Golden Skies City, alongside foreign troops. Squads 57 and 69 are sent to the Five Points Military Chain near Farbanti. All other squads are put on stand-by alert status Kazach.
On the same day, Operation Zero is launched. Kazach forces focus their attention of assaulting Golden Skies AFB. Grabacr squadron is mobilized as well as foreign fighters. The allied planes shoot down the enemy squadron (with the exception of the flight leader) and two Grabacr squadron planes are lost.
On the same day. The public learns of the foreign presence on the continent, massive riots ensue. North Point issues Military Order #7133, ordering all rioters to be detained as slaves for a period of one month in a local detention center.
July 20, 2072 [July 19, 2004], President Stevan Daniels gives all executive power to Secretary of Defense, Howard Fortstall. Operation Jaws is launched, the 7th Fleet is ordered to patrol the area in and around Flint Bay on the south coast. During the operation, both the 7th Fleet, and the Coastal Defense Force make several hundred arrests relating to illegal drug and weapons trafficking. The smmuglers are traced back to the Kazach Order, and the North Point Ministry of Finances, along with the New Hivez Department of the Treasury, freeze over 1/3 of the known Kazach assets.
Operation Pentagram is launched. Nonstop aerial, satellite, and communicative surveilance on Greykan is imposed. The operation consists of members from the VAF (Vuhifellian Air Force), VSEP (Vuhifellian Space Exploration Program), and the NPMI (North Point Military Intelligence). The operation immediately picks up a phone call from New Hivez to somewhere on the Hrimfaxi peninsula, but cannot trace it any further.
July 24, 2072 [July 22, 2004] 'Grand Protector' Howard Fortstall suspends Operation Pentagram indefinately. Martial law is imposed, several riots occur over the country, and Squad 49 has been directly linked to the murder of several rioters in Golden Skies City. In EBG 99[Squad 49 Colonel] 's report, he states the massacre of over 170 rioters helped end the violence in GSC Quadrant I, Sector F, and that without their actions, the financial district could have fallen. The Golden Skies Municipal Courts urges David Macker to turn the members of Squad 49 over to Federal Courts. Squad 49 is pardoned (on the grounds of following Hewlett Military Protocol) and their members recieve the Order of Razgriz.
July 26, 2072 [July 24, 2004] North Point agrees to send the Military Council for special combat training observations in Van Luxemburg, which would take place in late November. Operation Orco is initiated. The VA 122nd Airbourne Division (one of the few VA units that is put under intense and elite training) makes a drop near the Greykan refugee village of Solus Ortis, in the heart of the Katuri Jungle on the southeastern coast. They arrest a man by the name of 'Ryoichi Seriguya' and bring him to a detention center in Farbanti, President Stevan Daniels dissapears a few hours later.
July 30, 2072 [July 27, 2004] Squad 49 investigates suspicious activities around Istas Fortress. The fortress is found to be completely plundered, and all equipment is either stolen, or destroyed.
July 31, 2072 [July 28, 2004] An unknown convoy makes its way to Golden Skies AFB. It is the same unit that used to be deployed at Istas Fortress.
Operation Summer Wind is initiated. This operation focused on keeping the peace in the northern region. Protestors in Polaris City and St. Ark give in to VA troops without resistance.
Mt. Shcirm, which housed the largest coal mine on the planet (in terms of product value) is bought by the VAF from Foxtecha. The VAF begin building Hierlark AFB around the mountain, it would be the largest and most technologically advanced airbase in the northern region, and would be the replacement of over twenty-seven dismantled airbases to defend the Northern Region.
August 2, 2072[July 29, 2004] The suspicious convoy near Golden Skies AFB turns out to be Kazach controlled. Golden Skies AFB is heavily damaged before VLAF and VAF aircraft annihilate the convoy.
August 18, 2072 [August 9, 2004] Squad 49 and the Van Luxemburgian forces are put on hold.
Galm Team graduates from the North Point Air Force Academy. The team consists of two pilots, both flying F-15 Eagles. Flight leader Galm One (TAC name Cipher, better known by his nickname, 'Demon Lord') and Galm Two (TAC name, Solo Wing Pixy). They are immediately sent to a major air battle over Area B7R (The Round Table). Over 700 fighter jets on both sides of the war engage in a massive dogfight over the sunken Round Table, Galm One is known to have downed at least 18 Kazach planes that day, and Galm Two, at least 12. Both of them earned the titles of "Ace" and "Knight of the Round Table" on that day. It is still unknown as to how Kazach aircraft made the 3000 mile journey from Greykan to the Round Table.
Three aircraft carriers near the Eaglin Straits in the Northern Region are mysteriously sunk. (The three carriers being the VSS Lumen, VSS Kestral, and VSS Furious Dragon) their squadrons were on patrols at the time of the sinking. All three aircraft squadrons made it back to Murska Air & Naval Base later that day.
August 20, 2072[August 10, 2004] The VN's largest supercarrier is christened, the VSS Stevan Daniels. It is equiped to take on 7 squadrons of aircrafts and all of its instruments are fully holographic, it is escorted out of the Comberth naval yards by the 4th and 8th Fleets.
Galm One and Galm Two both engage a Kazach helicopter flight over the Comona Islands. It is later discovered that Kazach Admiral Joshua K. Liij was on one of the helicopters they shot down. Galm One recieves the Diamond Wing. The second highest VAF honor. Galm Two, for his superior skills in shooting down several enemy craft endangering Galm One, recieves the Wing of the Defender award.
Grabacr One and Mobius One both fly sorties over the Hrimfaxi Peninsula, the discover the remains of tanks that were not yet created at the time of the Vuhi-Comm War. Military Council shrugs it off as a non-war (Vuhi-Kazach) related matter.
Operation Protector is initiated. It involves the use of ECM Jamming aircraft over large parts of Greykan.
August 30, 2072 [August 17, 2004] A large cache of supercomputers is found in a cave in the northern, each marked with the word 'Istas', they were the computers stolen from Istas Fortress, how they got up to the northern region remains a mystery.
Galm Team once again goes into action, this time, to take down a Kazach satellite launched into orbit from the Scinfaxi Peninsula, 200 kilometers north of the Hrixfaxi Peninsula. Galm One launched a ASATM-94 VAF 'Satellite Killer' missile at the Kazach satellite, it was shot down, and both Galm One and Galm Two recieved the 'Special Space Combat Badge'. The first in the world to recieve the honor.
On the same day, the VSS Kriushu stops a boatload of Kazach Special Forces smuggling top secret VA Biological Data into Greykan. The crew of the boat was arrested, their cargo was sieged by the VA, and the NPMI conducted a formal investigation as to who leaked the data, and where the smugglers departed.
September 1,2072 [August 19, 2004] Galm Team is recruited into the 6th Air Division, 66th Air Force Unit. Along with Grabacr squadron, Mobius squadron, and Zanzibar squadron. (The nickname for this new VAF Unit was 'Demon Knights') Not only were all pilots in this unit top aces of the VAF, all of them had achieved the highly prized pilot title 'Knight of the Round Table*' (A name only given to those pilots who have proved themselves superior fighters, fighting over Priority One Strategic Airspace B7R; The Round Table)
*Of the Knights of the Round Table (78) there were
-34 VAF aces
-28 Kazach aces
-8 Mercenary aces
-3 USAF aces
-3 IAF aces
-2 RAF aces
The Demon Knights take a part in their first raid later that day, when a major aerial engagement is beginning over Area B7R, The Round Table. Suprisingly, there are only a handful of Kazach planes at B7R. (All of them had the universal Knight of the Round Table insignia, a hellhound bound by chains, breaking the chains loose with his fangs) The Demon Knights faced off against the Kazach Knights, who had all downed over 90 VAF aircraft. Galm One is known to have wiped out the 'Aegir Squadron', five ace pilots who had sunk several ships and terrorized the VN. For their valor in the engagement over B7R, all of the Demon Knights recieved the Wing of Razgriz. The highest honor a VAF pilot could recieve. They are all bestowed these honors by Howard Fortstall and the Military Council.
September 9, 2072 [August 24, 2004] Two massive, nuclear submarine aircraft carriers are discovered belonging to the Kazach Order. It is now known how the Kazach Order could shuttle so many fighter jets to and from B7R. The first of the two (and smaller), the KOS Scinfaxi was discovered after it launched a nuclear missile on a trajectory towards North Point, after the North Point Air Defense Network shot the missile down, however, the Demon Knights were mobilized. After an intense air battle with the 'Hoffnung Squadron' (A squadron notorious for firebombing major cities, such as Hoffnung, South Belka), the Demon Knights sunk the Scinfaxi off the coast of the Comona Islands. The Demon Knights lost only one plane, whose pilot bailed out and was rescued by the VSS Tanager. The pilot was identified as 'Peter Hartman'. Callsign Mobius 12, TAC Name Oka Nieba.
The Avalon Dam in the Mund Valley is taken over by Foxtecha. It's reasons for buying the dam from Statscom Energy remain unclear.
Ouroboros and Nuecom Incorporated are founded out of remnants from Urez International. (The corporation out of which Foxtecha was also born)
September 11, 2072[August 27, 2004] General Resource Limited is founded out of remaining particles of Urez Intl. As is UPEO (Universal Peace Enforcement Organization; a collective military alliance of all Vuhifellian corporation)
The Demon Knights perform a fly-over above Gerulia Stadium in November City. During a speech given by Vice President Seryozha Viktrovich Nikanor, it is discovered that several squadrons of the VAF have defected and joined the Kazachs. During the end of the speech, former squadrons: Rot, Grun, Indigo, Schnee, Silber, and Gelb all fly over the stadium. A large dogfight between the defector squadrons and the Demon Knights ensue. They defectors manage to shoot down Galm Two during the dogfight. VAF pilot Larry Foulke (Galm Two) managed to bail out before his F15 hit the stadium, he was rescued by the Presidential Guard. The Demon Knights retreated to Area B7R while the defectors followed. Although no other casualties on either side were reported, the Demon Knights gave such glowing comments on the defector squadrons' flying that all pilots in those squadrons earned the title of "Knight of the Round Table".
September 13, 2072[August 29,2004] Hierlark AFB (Under Construction in the northern region) is destroyed by all defector squadrons (Rot, Gelb, Grun, Indigo, Schnee, Silber, Schwarze, Gault, Espada, Wizard, and Sorceror) and are now identified as the "Belkan Knights" by the VAF. (They recieve this name because Hierlark AFB was not only located in North Belka, but because several of the pilots in the Belkan Knights squadron are decendants of the legendary Belkan Monestary Knights of 1143.)
September 18, 2072[September 1,2004] The Demon Knights and the Belkan Knights fight again, this time over the Round Table. The Belkan Knights have been transported to the Round Table by the Hrimfaxi, the second Kazach submarine-carrier. Galm One takes on Gelb One in a dogfight over the Round Table. It is reported that a swarm of bullets from Galm One penetrated Gelb One's cockpit, killing him instantly. Shortly after, Gelb Two is hit by a QAAM Missile launched by Galm One. The QAAM takes out Gelb Two's right wing, Gelb Two managed to bail out, and was taken prisoner by the 7th Army, 7th Infantry Division, 63rd Mechanized Brigade. It is after these two losses that the rest of the Belkan Knights withdraw from B7R. Galm One's nickname (Demon Lord) is expanded (to Demon Lord of the Round Table).
September 19, 2072[September 4, 2004] The 4th Army, 9th Armored Corps, 12th Urban Assault Company occupies the ruined city of Mons. It is here where the Battle of Mons takes place. The unit discovers a massive tunnel in which Kazachs have been penetrating central Vuhifell. It calls in an airstrike from the VAF, but not only has the entire area been (secretly) occupied by Kazach Shock Troops, but a massive Anti-Air, Anti-Missile, and Ground Defense system has been put into place. Early VAF attempts to bunker-bomb the tunnel failed, as the aircraft were shot down before entering minimum engagment airspace.
The 2nd Army, 2nd Infantry Corps, 19th Explosives Brigade makes a similar tunnel discovery near the ruined city of Cor. A similar situation at Mons in encountered, albeit with slightly less anti-air resistance.
September 20, 2072[September 7,2004] Major General Pedro Garcia (Of the 2nd Army, 17th Armored Division) launches Operation Ravage. His division surrounds Cor, remaining out of the combat zone, and bombards Cor. MRLS Units along with traditional artillery are called in.
Brigadier General Samuel H. Goldstein (of the 4th Army, 92nd Mechanized Brigade) launches Operation Steel Eagle. A massive push into Mons (from the South) using APC's and MBT's manages to take the Freiman Bridge, just outside of the city. It is stopped by massive Kazach resistance in the ruins just beyond the bridge. A smaller, but better equiped company of MBT's and IFV's pushes into the city from the East. It manages to secure two of its four objectives; to take the old church tower overlooking the main road, and to take the entrance to the highway just southeast of Mons.
The 1st Army's 122nd Airbourne Division is mobilized for Operation Steel Python, an airdrop operation into Mons to take the tunnel and isolate the Kazachs from reinforcements.
September 21, 2072[September 10, 2004] The 122nd Airbourne makes a successful drop into Mons, no casualties were reported before touchdown. After several paratroopers got to the ground, however, they encountered fierce resistance. The unit was only able to take control of a few blocks in the center of the city before it was forced to garrison the few building they had secured. A sniper team was flown in via helicopter just outside of their position, the snipers managed to get into Mons unharmed, but the chopper carrying them was shot down on the way back to base, its crew died in the crash.
Operation Ravage is having no effect on Cor. The bombardment has only destroyed a few SAM targets. Yet the bombardment has opened a very small flight corridor along the River Crescarie. VAF leaders did not recieve the opening information soon enough, and the corridor soon closed off, as mobile SAM units were moved from the center of the city to the river.
Squad 48 of the EBG makes a drug bust in Farbanti. They arrest 9 drug users, siege over 2000 kilograms of illicit drugs, and arrest 3 major South Coast Drug Lords. The Drug Lords, (Emmanuel Perez - South Coast Mafia. Preston Storm - Myamar's Bastards. Mika Takashimo - Farbanti Triad) were all connected to the Kazach Order, all money in their bank accounts was traced, and all funds, formerly in, currently in, or heading to their bank accounts were sieged by the VA. Their accounts were drained, as were all funds transfered in/out, inactivated, and deleted.
Squad 02 of the EBG foils an assassination attempt on the life of Howard Fortstall by northern resisters.
Later that day, on 21:09 Usea Mean Time (GSC Time) Howard Fortstall announced the creation of the VPU (Vuhifellian Protection Unit).
September 22, 2072[September 13,2004] The sniper team that was flown into Mons is spotted. Several large squads of Kazach troops approach their position, but are repelled. A rescue plan is formulated. The 122nd Airbourne Division will fight through the city to the snipers' position and clear the area for helicopter extraction.
Operation Ravage is halted. Major General Pedro Garcia is dismissed from the Cor Offensive, Lieutenant General Rowena Almendral Belen is put in charge of all troops surrounding Cor. Her plan is to launch a major tank rush into the city from the six (surviving) bridges into Cor Island. She later launches Operation Underhanded Ally. She dispaches several VAF aircraft to bunker-bust the tunnel into Cor just outside of the effective Kazach SAM radius, after which, the tanks under her command will rush the bridges, while mechanized infantry makes its way into the tunnel.
Operation Steel Python is abandoned after the initiation of Operation Endless Hope (The sniper rescue operation). The 122nd Airbourne Division sends out several teams into the city to clear out a path for the entire division, which is still garrisoning the city center. A B-1 bomber strike team will bomb the city with precision weapons and take out strategic targets once the paratroopers take out a majority of the mobile SAM units in Mons.
September 23, 2072[September 16, 2004] The 122nd Airbourne is making headway. A few advanced recon parties have destroyed about 7 mobile SAM units, but there are still about 13 still left in the city. The 4th Army's 99th Airbourne Division accepts a mission to paradrop deep into Mons to assist the 122nd Airbourne.
Operation Underhanded Ally begins. The tunnel under Cor is located and is blasted out, while several M113 APC's make their way into the tunnel, Warmaster Mk I MBT's cross the six bridges leading in Cor Island. The assault makes good progress at first. The tanks crews have clear out the entire western half of the island and the APC's ready themselves for an assault on the eastern half. It is around this time when the Belkan Knights arrive at the battle-scene.
The official casualty records are still classified, but all but two tank crews were killed as a result of the Belkan Knights showing up over the skies of Cor. The Demon Knights chase them down over the Lambert Mountains in Greykan and manage to shoot one of them down. Espada Two (Marcela Vasquez) was shot down and captured by the VAF.
Commander General Timothy Garcia (Supreme General of the VA), Supreme Admiral Raychel Garcia (Supreme Admiral of the VN), and General of the Skies Isabel Garcia (Supreme General of the VAF) fly to Van Luxemburg for war games observances.
September 23, 2072[September 19,2004] The 99th Airbourne Division is paradropped to assist the 122nd Airbourne in taking the ruined city of Mons. It is reported that upon landing, over 1/4 of their forces were decimated from enemy fire. They [the 99th] quickly clear and garrison several buildings near Vuhifellian lines. Opening a path of assault for VA Tanks.
Operation Salesman is launched. A large tank column lead by Colonel Anthony F. Archer proceeds into the city, because the 99th Airbourne Division has secured a portion of the city close to the tanks, the offensive is wildly successful. During Operation Salesman, over 37 city blocks are sieged, 6,000 Kazach troops taken prisoner, 900 Kazach troops killed, and 11 out of the 13 SAM sites remaining.
The VAF part in Operation Salesman begins, a single B-1 'Lancer' is flown over the city, with precision bombs, it takes out the remaining two SAM sites, along with 13 tanks, 4 APC's, and one mobile command vehicle.
The sniper teams that was dropped in was rescued two hours later by the 122nd Airbourne Division.
The Battle of Mons ended of September 23, 2072[September 19,2004].
In the Battle of Cor, more tanks are rushed in from a nearby Rapid Response Team. And, again, they storm over the bridges of Cor. The VAF calls in several B-52 bombers to level the entire eastern half of the city, the only thing the tanks have to accomplish to finish off the survivors.
The tanks in the second assault on Cor manage to take the ruined city after the bombing. Taking 3,000 Kazach troops prisoner, and killing over 200.
The Battle of Cor ended on the same day.
October 1, 2072[October 1,2004] The UPEO mobilizes its entire corporate military in a single opetation. Operation Katina, involves following the tunnels discovered in Mons and Cor all the way to the Kazach HQ, where the massive corporate military force would force a surrender. Operation Katina is approved by a majority of UPEO members. Over 90,000 corporate troops along with 3,000 VA observers are mobilized for the operation.
A major EMP burst is felt throughout Greykan. The cause is unknown, but it is the same EMP signature as when a MAGI IV supercomputer overloads, however, there are no known (legal) owners of MAGI IV supercomputers in all of Greykan. It is suspected that the Kazach Order acquired MAGI IV technology from downed VAF planes.
October 9, 2072[October 9,2004] The Demon Knights are deployed again over the Round Table. Their counterparts in the Kazach Order, the Belkan Knights, are flying in the direction of New Hivez. The Demon Knights' orders are to down all enemy planes, retreat is not authorized, mission will only be accomplished once all defector planes are shot down.
The face-off between the Belkan and Demon Knights is known on both sides of the war as Operation Belkan Demons.
[For specific details regarding Operation Belkan Demons; refer to Document 4992, 'Documents Regarding the Air Battle between the Demon Knights of Vuhifell and the Belkan Knights of the Kazach Order over Priority One Strategic Airspace B7R. October 9, 2072']
October 18, 2072[October 18,2004] The Demon Knights are again deployed. Although all of the Belkan Knights were not over the combat airspace 9 days earlier, they had downed all the Belkan Knights that were. This time, the Demon Knights are sent to intercept the XB-0. It is a massive, airbourne command center, and it not only has the command capability of over 20 AWACS, but it is also heavily defended, with several flak cannons, AAA batteries, and SAM sites bult into itself.
The Demon Knights are deployed in Operation Valkyrie. During this, nine of the Demon Knights are shot down by the XB-0, eight are rescued by VN cruisers over the Eaglin Straits, the other is killed in action. The pilot killed was 7th Air Division, 92nd Air Tactical Fighter Wing, Wardog 3. Allen H. Davenport (TAC Name 'Chopper'). The Demon Knights manage to destroy the XB-0's eight rocket thrusters, however, several escape aircraft are launched out of the belly of the XB-0 as it was descending. They are propeller driven, and Galm Team, along with Mobius One, down all escape aircraft.
October 20, 2072[October 20,2004] The UPEO forces traveling in the tunnels under Vuhifell are halted by a giant blast door, just outside the tunnel entrance to the Hrimfaxi peninsula. They manage to open the door, after this point, all contact is lost with the UPEO forces.
October 30, 2072[October 30,2004] Squad 49 and the Van Luxemburgian forces are re-deployed to Virgin Mary AFB in the Five-Points Military Chain guarding Farbanti.
November 1, 2072[November 1, 2004] Two members of the Van Luxemburgian Marine Forces discover a corpse of an EBG Squad 49 soldier from the Vuhi-Comm War. The two are later sent back to Van Luxemburg for psychological trauma. The body is inspected by the Virgin Mary AFB medical staff and is confirmed to be killed by experimental Kazach energy weapons.
A helicopter of the Van Luxemburgian Marine Forces lands at the ruined city of Katingrad, investigating reports of operating factories there. They are assaulted by a single Kazach soldier before evacuating. Three Su-47 are sent to intercept them from the Hrimfaxi Peninsula. One of which is shot down, the other two shoot down the Van Luxemburgian chopper. All VL troop forces survive the crash, but more than half of the helicopter squad is lost in the ensueing persuit by Kazach helicopters, jets, tomahawk missiles, and T-80 tanks.
A single Mirage 2100 jet fighter takes off from Virgin Mary AFB in assistance of the downed crew. It is ordered back to Virgin Mary AFB by the VAF staff. When it does not comply, four members of the Demon Knights (Razgriz 1-4) are sent to either escort it back to base or shoot it out of the sky. The VLAF pilots accept the escort. When they land, they explain the situation near Katingrad. A few of the Demon Knights (Mobius Squadron) is sent to assist the downed crew.
Mobius Squadron arrives at Katingrad in time to save the crew of the helicopter. They destroy several tanks and helicopters before gaining air superiority. The remaining helicopter crew is rescued by "Saviour Two" of the VLAF.
Meanwhile, EBG 117 and 179 (Patrick Malone and Alicia Daniels, Squad 49) accidentally stumble on President Stevan Daniels at Belka Castle in Nord Belka. They liberate him, and he is restored to his post as President.
November 3, 2072[November 3,2004] Several districts in Golden Skies City are annihilated by the "Fire Flood". Kazach soldiers destroyed the Michael Daniels Memorial Dam, releasing several million gallons of water from Cruik Lake into the Fang River. The Patriarch Gerald XIX Oil Complex a few miles south was also targeted, it released over 3 Million barrels of oil into the flooding river, a single napalm bomb set it all ablaze. The firy water then hit Golden Skies City. Casualty reports vary on source, but it is universally declared that over 28 Million people died as a direc result of the Fire Flood. Another 13 Million died within the next few weeks as a result of lung problems associated with the huge amounts of gases that were released during the burning.
November 4, 2072[November 4,2004] The National Farbanti Jet Race begins. Squad 49 of the EBG foils a Kazach plot to blow up a highway tunnel while the jets are flying through. However, EBG 110 is abducted by Kazach forces later that day.
Van Luxemburgian forces attempt to rescue EBG 110 but are unsucessful.
Kaitlyn Mui [The real name of the covert operative cannot be revealed] contacts the resistance movement in New Hivez. They steal several classified documents from the Golden Skies Military Administrator and hand them over to the Van Luxemburgian embassy. The documents include atrocities committed by the Fortstall regime and collaboration with the Kazach Order.
November 5, 2072[November 5,2004] Vuhifellian ambassador to Van Luxemburg is arrested. A single document summerizing the horrors of the Fortstall regime is captured.
EBG 179 heads to New Hivez to assassinate Howard Fortstall.
November 6, 2072[November 6, 2004] Howard Fortstall launches a nuclear attack on the city of St. Ark. It is incinerated an all 17 Million inhabitants are killed. Van Luxemburg launches a police action against Vuhifell in retaliation.
EBG Squad 69 releases the Congress and the Cabinet, being imprisoned.
November 6, 2072[November 6,2004] The 93rd Armored Division of the 4th Army assists in the liberation of the Congress.
The Battle of Golden Skies City begins. The 93rd Armored Division fights to liberate the city from VPU control.
The Second Battle of Farbanti begins. A large Kazach force led by EBG 110 manages to break through VPU lines and secure the VPU Western HQ, ending all fascist control over the West Coast.
November 10, 2072[November 10,2004] Van Luxemburgian forces land in Farbanti for a liberation of Vuhifell. They will link up with the Kazach Liberation Forces in Virgin Mary AFB. Their target destination in Golden Skies City and eventually New Hivez. A high ranking member of the Kazach Order is confirmed to have defected to the VA. President Daniels leaves with them, but Squad 49 stays behind, citing security of Farbanti as their objective.
The Battle of Golden Skies City ends, albeit at high civilian casualties.
November 11, 2072[November 11,2004] Foxtecha moves a large convoy of supply trucks to the Avalon Dam, near the town of Arlon in the Mund Valley.
The Five Points Military Chain is destroyed by Kazach bombers. Total casualties included 1,400 dead and over 200 wounded. Colonel 99 of EBG Squad 49 is the most notable casualty from the bombing.
November 16, 2072[November 16,2004] The Demon Knights face off in their final battle against the Belkan Knights. The only members of the Belkan Knights that remain are the wing leaders of each squadron in the Belkan Knights. The official name for the face off is Operation Battle-Axe. The more popular name (and often cited as most accurate) is the Battle for B7R: Huckebein & the Belkan Demons. It was given this name, because, during Operation Battle-Axe, a mercenary pilot hired by the UPEO known only as "Huckebein the Raven" made his way into the battle while the Belkan Knights and the Demon Knights were battling. Under UPEO orders, Huckebein was to destroy all Belkan Knight pilots and return to base on the VSS Memories of our Past. Huckebein managed to down all Belkan Knight pilots before any of the Demon Knights could engage. Before this, however, Rot 1 of the Belkan Knights fired a QAAM at Huckebein's aircraft before his exploded. Huckebein's aircraft was hit, and his aircraft hit the water in the Round Table. Although his plane wreckage was discovered (with the cockpit completely intact), Huckebein was nowhere to be found.
November 20, 2072[November 20,2004] Van Luxemburgian and EBG forces arrive at New Hivez, thus beginning the Battle of New Hivez. Operation Universal Justice is launched. EBG Squad 49 manages to liberate the radio station and President Stevan Daniels broadcasts a message to all military commanders serving under Fortstall. "Surrender now, and your crimes shall be forgiven, aid us, and you shall be revered, resist us, and you shall die," was the message. Within minutes, the VA 11th Army stationed in New Hivez surrenders. The 12th Army surrounds the Presidential Palace in a last ditch effort to save the regime.
November 21, 2072[November 21,2004] Three VN cruisers (VSS Inferiority Complex, VSS Tsubaki, and the VSS High Echelon) begin their assault on foreign ground forces attempting to liberate the capital. They manage to damage a small portion of Allied Forces before the VSS Inferiority Complex and the VSS High Echelon are sunk.
November 22, 2072[November 22,2004] Howard Fortstall evacuates New Hivez as Allied Special Forces raid the Presidential Palace. The Presidential Guard's cyberbrains' are being controlled via remote control center in the Michael Daniels Memorial Arch. Van Luxemburgian Military Forces manage to disarm the control center, but the VSS Tsubaki fires a salvo of cruise missiles towards the city.
As the Demon Knights head to New Hivez to secure air superiority, the Kazach's have sent in one last bastion of hope for victory in the air war. Zikorav and Cruik squadrons of the Kazach Elite Air Division. Although most planes are shot down by the Demon Knights (with assistance from the VLAF), Zikorav 1 and Cruik 1 manage to survive and plot a kamikaze mission towards the Presidential Palace (where, by now, Stevan Daniels, and all important political figures are residing). Cruik 1 is shot down by AAA guns in the city, but Zikorav 1 continues to remain on course.
It is at this time, when President Stevan Daniels' daughter, EBG 179 (Alicia Daniels), proves her expert ability in sharpshooting. Using special Fuel-Air Explosive Munitions, and Mercury AP shells, she manages to shoot down both Zikorav 1, and an N2 cruise missile heading for the Palace. She is immediately (on the spot) awarded the North Point Medal of Valor for her efforts.
December 1, 2072 [December 1,2004] President Stevan Daniels and Kazach leader Valgan 1 (aka Jorge Kavala) both appear on Vuhifellian TV. President Stevan Daniels reasserts his position as the ruler of Vuhifell, reinstates Congress and the Supreme Court, repeals all Fortstall laws (some of which are voted back into place), and apologizes to the nation for putting Fortstall in power.
An unknown Boeing 747 takes off from New Hivez International Airport the same day. It is believed to carry Howard Fortstall, but this cannot be confirmed. It is confirmed that several high ranking members of Foxtecha were on-board. A Kazach airliner manages to dock with the 747 and takes many Fortstall government officials and Foxtechan officials prisoner. (Fortstall is believed to be captured, but this too, cannot be confirmed). Although the prisoners are secure on the Kazach airliner, a malfunction causes the aircraft to crash. The only known survivor is the Kazach trooper Vincent Fierra (who is currently the Head Judge for North Osea's seat on the High Court).
December 3, 2072[December 3,2004] The siege of Farbanti begins as the Kazach order launches its last offensive of the war. The VA Fifth Army is immediately cut down as several hundred thousands Kazach troops, tanks, helicopters, and navy ships pour in and around Farbanti.
December 4, 2072[December 4,2004] Operation Deuce IV commences. It mobilizes all Vuhifellian forces west of Lake Jigabachi (in Golden Skies City). This includes the entire of the 4th, 6th, and 9th Armies. The 3rd and 4th Fleets. 1st, 2nd, and 6th Air Force Divisions. And EBG Squads 32, 22, and 11. The Demon Knights are also mobilized for the liberation of Farbanti.
December 6, 2072[December 6,2004] Van Luxemburgian and EBG Squad 49 forces arrive in Farbanti via airlift. They immediately engage in a small skirmish on the outskirts of Farbanti and are victorious.
December 7, 2072[December 7,2004] The KOS Hrimfaxi, the submarine aircraft carrier that used to transport the Belkan Knights to the Round Table, engages to 3rd Fleet while it is on its way to Farbanti. The Hrimfaxi manages to sink over 14 ships and kill 2000 VN sailors before it is sunk. (The 14 sunken ships are : January (Battleship), February (Battleship), July (Battleship), December (Battleship), Glorious (Recon Submarine), Transcendence (Frigate), Overcoming Defeat (Destroyer), Python (Destroyer), Data Angel (Destroyer), Blue Storm (AEGIS Cruiser), Shelter (Supply Ship), Vulcan (Destroyer), Malcom Rodriguez (Carrier), Tanager (Battleship.)
December 10, 2072[December 10, 2004] Operation Bunker Shot is launched. It is a joint effort by EBG Squad 49 and the VL Military to capture the Kazach Order leadership. The entire leadership is observing a final assault on Farbanti a few kilometers from the city. EBG 179 manages to take out one of the nine leaders, (later confirmed to be Usea-One) VL Military forces take out the tanks guarding the leaders, while Squad 49 kills most of the remaining officers and takes the two highest ranking officers prisoner.
The 9th Army is the first to arrive in Farbanti. They manage to break through Kazach parimeter defences and march into the outskirts of the industrial sector.
The Demon Knights arrive in Farbanti just after the capture of the Kazach leaders. They manage to destroy 1/6 of all Kazach forces in the city before being forced to re-arm. All members of the Demon Knights are granted 'Hero of Vuhifell' status for their efforts.
Valgan-One (Jorge Kavala) takes command of the Kazach Order and orders all Kazach forces to surrender. Most of them do. However, a few divisions of Kazach troops resist the order, and dissapear.
December 31, 2072[December 31,2004] The waters in the Avalon Dam in the Mund Valley begin to recede. A VAF patrol satellite manages to pick up a single photograph on a missile silo underneath the Avalon Dam's artificial lake. It is confirmed at 12:00 Usea Standard Time that the silo houses a Foxtechan Planet Buster-3 MIRV Missile. It is later confirmed that the missile has enough nuclear warheads on it to destroy over 1/3 of Vuhifell's population. Not only this, but the entire dam and all land in a 30 km radius of it are defended by Kazach troops.
The Military Council convenes at 13:00 UST. It is decided that, since the dam is strong enough to withstand a tactical nuclear strike, the Demon Knights should fly directly into the dam complex and take the missile out at point blank range. The Operation is named Operation Last Hope.
13:43 UST. The Demon Knights take off from [the rebuilt] Hierlark AFB in North Belka. They will be joined by the 10th Air Division in flight. For mid-air refueling (and the 10th Air Division will act as decoys for the Kazach defenses).
14:59 UST. The 10th Air Division and the Demon Knights make it to the River Creskari. The Demon Knights fly into the Mund Valley (a mere 1.4 meters above the surface of the River Creskari), while the 10th Air Division makes an after-burner dash for the dam. All 10th Air Division planes are shot down and their pilots killed, with the exception of Crow 1 (TAC Name "PJ"). The only Demon Knights able to break through are Galm Team, Mobius One, and Grabacr One. All other Demon Knights are shot down (and 12 are killed). Mobius One manages to take out the dam's power station; Grabacr One destroys the Missile Command Center, and Galm Team flies into the launch tunnel to destroy all three manual launch nodes.
16:00 UST. The Galm Team, Mobius 1, Grabacr 1, and PJ all manage to fly off, away from the Avalon Dam. It is unknown what exactly occurs at this point, but PJ's plane is shot down and he is killed. Galm 2, Mobius 1, and Grabacr 1, are all shot down, but manage to bail out. A single message can be heard after all planes leave Galm One. "Behold, the Raven, the wings of righteousness sweep across the land. O', Great Razgriz, God of Death. May the Raven be defeated by the Vulture." The aircraft that shot down all other Allied planes is confirmed to be the UPEO mercenary 'Huckebein the Raven', using experimental burst missile, laser, and missile shield technology. Galm One takes out the laser on the plane's back that destroyed all other planes, and Huckebein fires both of his burst missiles down towards the dam. Somehow, the explosions launch the Planet Buster 3 Missile, and Galm One has to destroy both Huckebein and the PB3.
Over the course of the next few minutes, Galm One cannot shoot Huckebein down, as the missile shield blocks all shots except those directed directly in front of him. Although Galm One manages to shoot down Huckebein and secure air superiority, he has used up all ammunition (missile and gun) to shoot down the missile. Galm One simply flies upwards, as far as his F/A-50 will take him, and, despite his craft taking serious damage, he makes it to the Lower Stratosphere, where the PB3 Missile is readying to releash it's MIRVs. A giant nuclear explosion follows, no one knows what caused it, but Galm One's plane dissappeared off the radar at that moment, although a parachute could be seen from the ground, it is unknown if Galm One survived or not. To this day, both the Vuhifellian government, the UPEO, and the Vuhifellian Security Corporation search for him.
January 20, 2072[January 20,2005] The Kazach Order signs the New Lumen Treaty of Permanent Non-Aggression and Peace between the Kazach Order and Vuhifell, officially ending the Vuhi-Kazach War.
[I]The Stevan Daniels factbook on the Vuhi-Kazach War:
Over 12 Million Combat Awards were handed out to men and women of the VA, VN, and VAF over the course of the 300 year Vuhi-Kazach War...
Over 200 Million lives were lost in those 300 years, making the Vuhi-Kazach War the deadliest in all history, to compare this death toll, take everyone in Golden Skies City, and kill them...
In total, 14 nuclear weapons were detonated during the war, two of which occured during the last year of the war...
The reason behind the War was originally independence for the Province of Greykan. In 1677, when the War started, Greykan occupied over 1/2 of the continent, Hivez refused the independence requests, and War was declared (Actually, the Vuhifellian government didn't exist in 1677, the Hivez Colonial Authority, controlled by the British, did not have authority to grant Greykan it's independence [in reality, Greykan was already an independent nation] this is one of the most commonly confused and distorted facts about the war.).
Over the years, the reasons behind the war shifted from Independence, to resource interests, to defying fascism and communism, to political disagreement, to, finally, radical Kazachitism.
Corporations like Foxtecha only grew so big because they poured in a huge amount of their money and energy into oil, weapons, food, and other general supplies. The Vuhi-Kazach War was a terrible war, but it was the only thing carrying the Vuhifellian economy through the Great Depression.
The Kazach Order is actually the holiest institution in all of the Kazach religion. It turned itself into a terrorist organization after Greykan One staged a coup inside the Greykan leadership, and placed himself as Divine Priest and Military Advisor to the Protector.
During pressing times, such as World War I, the Japanese invasion of 1940, or the Vuhi-Comm War, both sides agree to become allies and fight against a common enemy. The fighting stops for a few weeks, months, or years, and then continues on, as if the alliances never appeared.
At the time this document was assembled, the Kazach Order, and the Kazach Freedom Party are two of the most powerful and influential institutions in Vuhifellian politics.
Contrary to popular belief, Howard Fortstall actually did many good things for the continent under his reign. Such good things include the creation of the VPU (which has been rearranged to conform with the laws of the new constitution), the disbanding of the Federal Constitution of 1700, and the Federal Law Convention of North Belka.
