UNGSI-Loc'vis War

The UNGSI-Loc'vis War, also known as the Rac'loc-Human War, the First Elysian War, IVth Retaliation, the First War of Human Expansion, and the First Human Interstellar War. Was a long, massive conflict mostly between the small but expansionist power of the UNGSI and massive but fledgling power of the Loc'Vis Empire.
The war was highly important as it would set the stage for the development of the southwestern quadrant, the fall of one of its largest powers, and the continued chaos rising within the Renegade quadrant. It would greatly influence Human relations throughout the Galaxy for decades to come.
== History ==
During the early years of the Sector's establishment, threats of Loc'vis retaliation had made the UNGSI uneasy and under the guise of protection against pirate elements still existing within the newly formed Sector, had gathered a massive garrison of UNGDF's forces and defenses within the sector's northern fringes towards the Loc'vis Empire.
The peril of an Interstellar war frightened UNGSI's Command as Interstellar relations between them and other space-faring races had been lukewarm at the best of times. The prospect of such a war would lead to the conclusion that if Humanity started or had been seen as the aggressor in this conflict, then others would seek to aid or even possibly join the side of the opposing force and with Mankind's technology level being universally lower than that of their compatriots. It seemed that it would only lead to the complete and utter defeat of the UNGSI.
Thus, the UNGDF did it's best to hide its build-up and to only act in defensive and reactionary actions with an intentional delay to all of its military interventions combating pirate attacks. Though this did somewhat aid to their concealment, it also allowed many pirate attacks to go relativity uncontested for many years in the sector's frontier.
But for the UNGDF, this wasn't seen as too much of a loss as the most dangerous combatant that the UNGDF had encountered, the Vak' Saun, had become a rare sight in the Sector as time passed. For the Loc'vis had greatly intensified their war with the Vak' Saun, leaving the UNGDF forces within Elysium free to crack down on the remaining rouge elements still operating within the Sector.
=== 2227-2231 ===
The tentative peace within the Elysium Sector would soon end in later months of 2227. During a routine UNGDF mobilization exercise, two UNGDF cruisers, the U.N.S Banten and the U.N.S Gauteng where nowhere to be found within the Sector's northern fringe due to an unexpected Ionic storm within the uncharted nebula that the mobilization had taken place in. Public efforts from both the UNGDF and the UGC to locate the two lost vessels would both prove to be fruitless.
However, during the dawn of 2228, the news would quickly surface of a failed commando-raid in Loc'vis territory by Un-marked Human operators operating in short-range jump ships. The Loc'vis quickly claimed that the attack was of UNGDF origin. The UGC investigation into the matter would soon prove that they were indeed correct. The UNGDF defend their actions by stating that it was a reconnaissance mission to make good on recovered intel of the two captive cruisers and their respective crews being held in Loc'vis space. Which was also uncovered by the UGC investigation.
The Loc'vis soon released that the UNGDF had by UGC law, illegally built-up its military forces in the Elysium from information obtained from the captive cruisers and that they had created a staging area for a massive offensive into Loc'vis space in hopes of gathering support in the UGC through their corporate contacts.
However, they were instead heavily criticized by the UGC and the UNGDF for breaking the laws of engagement regarding their secretive capture of UNGDF forces and were forced to withdraw their forces within the UGC's Peacekeeper Corps. Similarly, many third-party corporations and trade partners cut their ties to the UNGSI. The UNGSI was also put under unrelenting political pressure for their actions.
The UGC soon sent its peacekeeping forces to closely monitor the situation in Elysium space, making sure to not take any side of the growing dispute. The UGC placed heavy trade embargoes on both parties. Their endeavors were primarily that of de-escalation with that of the UNGDF pulling it's 70% of military forces out of the Elysium Sector with the Loc' vis Empire returning the UNGDF's hostages along with reducing their military presence on the border.
The friction between the two parties had begun to further escalate as years of diplomatic action begin to falter when information that the UNGDF had slowed their military withdrawn far below what the Loc'vis was promised despite the agreements they made to the Loc'vis. These diplomatic failures led to the Loc'vis threatening the UNGSI that they will use force to retake the Sector from the UNGSI.
This grinding standoff eventually led to a series of border disputes as Loc'vis would send small skirmish fleets into Elysium space to non-violently probe the various border words and stations, quickly warping out once they were intercepted by UNGDF forces. While this did lead to many close calls, the UNGDF was able to hold steadfast and keep its ships from firing on the seemly hostile vessels. The UNGDF would respond with more covert reconnaissance operations within the edge of Loc'vis space.
=== 2232-2233 ===
Eventually, the UNGDF restraint would give out when in 2232, a UNGDF interception of a Loc'vis probing force over the remote and then-uninhabited star system of Parauaea turned hot. As the UNGDF interception began to fire at the Loc'vis vessel after they had failed to reply to the UNGDF forces for about ten or so minutes, the Loc'vis quickly returned fire.
The three Loc'vis warships took on and disabled four UNGDF warships along with out-right destroying two out of the eight UNGDF warships with the UNGDF patrol-group only managing to disable one Loc'vis warship which caused the Loc'vis battlegroup to retreat after UNGDF reinforcements began to warp in, the disabled Loc'vis warship's crew soon begun scuttling the vessel after arriving UNGDF forces begin to board the vessel, this resulted in the loss of all hands on deck and the loss of several UNGDF Marine platoons.
The Battle was a major blow to the UNGDF's morale within the sector and shattered any hope for peaceful recollection between the two parties. The Loc'vis had begun to threaten the UNGSI with the threat of execution for all UNGDF captives after the conflict while the UNGDF affirmed that any sightings of Loc'vis ships within UNGSI's space will be shot on sight rather than warned. UGC double its peacekeeping forces at the northern Elysium border and tried desperately to reopen peace talks to no avail.
Furthermore, the UGC peacekeepers we're soon forced to leave nearly as soon as they came. Quickly relocated to other theaters as decade-spanning conflicts continued to roar on into their twilight years elsewhere in the galaxy.
Several more armed clashes between the two powers occurred in the following year with both parties all but having announced an official declaration of war. Resulting in a rising number of skirmishes, clandestine operations, and bombings done by both sides of the spiraling conflict.
=== 2234 ===
After a year of low-level warfare, the Loc'vis had publicly disclosed that they will now execute any UNGDF captives, both military, and civilian personnel in retaliation for the UNGSI aggression with threats of a wide-scale attack of the Elysium if the UNGSI does not surrender it's holdings and leave the Sector entirely to them.
This was reinforced with the announcement that the captive crews of both the U.N.S Banten and the U.N.S Gauteng have been executed by Loc'vis hands. This led to their immediate expulsion from the UGC with the Loc'vis being declared as a rouge and hostile state. Causing mass confusion and outrage among the Loc'vis Military due to their decade-long alliance against the expansive Vak' saun raiders and their limited participation with the UGC in the Taloniki War.
The news shocked the UNGSI and UNGDF military intelligence assuring that they are mounting up for an offensive near the Northern Border. War was deemed to be inevitable by UNGSI's Security Council, the UNGDF quickly mobilized its garrisons along the northern Elysium border to ready themselves for a preemptive attack into Loc'vis territory and attempt to disable three major staging areas to force a continued ceasefire for the time being.
Thus, just barely after a month of non-stop mobilization. The UNGDF suddenly launched Operation: Dark Star, a preemptive attack to disrupt any and attempts of Loc'vis invasion of Elysium proper from within bordering sector of Vic'moc. The Operation was quickly put together but it seemed that years of clandestine reconnaissances and the element of surprise would give the UNGDF forces the edge needed to achieve their goals in crippling the Loc'vis imminent forces.
==== Operation: Dark Star ====
The Operation was, however, stunned from the start with the UNGDF Command in Elysium believed that such a drastic and sudden plan would be doomed to fail. As such, the UNGDF Command within Elysium we're unwilling to lend its troops and warships for the attack as they deemed to be far more critical for the defense of the Sector if the Loc'vis threats were to be believed.
Further logistical issues would occur throughout the mobilization, with the requested number of seven squadrons not being met in time for the Operation and only five of the desired seven squadrons could be gathered for the Operation in the limited time window.
Despite these issues and warnings, the situation on the Northern border continued to worsen with the UNGDF intelligence claiming that the Loc' vis would soon be diverting forces towards the Northern Border. The window of opportunity was closing for their one-shot to stop a war in Elysium territory.
Thus, the UNGDF ordered the Operation to be launched. The squadrons would be separated into three fleets to attack three different planets simultaneously, the first fleet will attack Vic'lo, the second fleet will attack Vic'to and the third fleet will attack Vic'vo.
These targets were selected by UNGDF intelligence as of vital importance to the Loc'vis in use as staging areas for an attempted invasion into Elysium space. They were no bigger than Terra's moon in size and all shared a low-gravitation environment, making them perfect as the primary shipyards and refueling stations for an invading Loc'vis Fleet.
The First Fleet was composed of the more veteran ships and troops while the second and third where gathered from colonial defense garrisons throughout UNGSI space with the bulk of the second fleet being native Elysians that were willing to take the fight to the enemy.
The element of surprise would grant the fleets partial success in their objectives as UNGDF intelligence had overestimated the Loc' vis' military presence within the border sector. Many of the stationed Loc' vis star-ships were merely Light-cruiser or Frigates. The invading UNGDF Fleets were able to establish brief naval superiority over the targeted worlds.
The Third Fleet would have the most success in their initial assault as the planet of Vic'to wasn't nearly as large or as populated as the two others. Most of the Loc'vis military presence there where auxiliaries from vassal worlds within the Loc'vis Empire. The Loc'vis auxiliary we're overwhelmed by the attack, forced to take shelter deep within the world's underground as the third fleet wasted no time in destroying the various structures that littered the planet's surface via orbital bombardment.
They were followed in their success by the First Fleet, who, while given the farthest target, Vic'vo. They were the most well-equipment of the three fleets and had the largest number of experienced officers. They were able to out-maneuver the stationed Loc'vis fleet over the Vic'vo into a pitched battle favoring the UNGDF fleet. Disabling quite a few Loc'vis ships in the battle.
However, planet-bound defenses and starfighter wings forced the marines of the First Fleet into action, taking out interceptor hangers and anti-air guns directly to get the window that their bombers needed to quickly disable the planet's industrial base before the operational window had ended.
Meanwhile, the Second Fleet was met with heavy resistance by Vic'to's defenders. They were well entrenched and had extensive point-defenses that made landings and sustained bombardments impossible for the Second Fleet. The Second Fleet hastily decided to utilize their heavier vessels to broadside the planet's defenses and force open up a gap in their defenses for landing troops and short-range bombers.
This action proved to be a costly mistake, leading to severe damage to the Second Fleet's naval strength with little gain in neutralizing the planet's defenses. Forcing the Fleet to abandon its attack early and retreat to UNGSI space.
Despite the element of surprise and the Loc'vis limited naval assets in the sector, Operation: Dark Star would soon take a trip for worst as the Loc'vis response occurred far sooner than UNGDF could have expected with Loc'vis ships warping over Vic'vo, catching the Frist Fleet in the open while the Fleet was still withdrawing from the planet.
For a while, the First Fleet were some of the best that the UNGDF had to offer in both regards to equipment and personnel, the resulting Naval Battle between the Frist Fleet and the Loc'vis Interception Fleet soon to prove to be a total disaster for the UNGDF. With the Frist Fleet's naval power being utterly destroyed at the hands of the Loc'vis Interception Fleet in a matter of hours.
The surviving elements of First Fleet we're hastily scattered over Vic'vo on the industrial wasteland that was now Vic'vo.'s surface. While the First Fleet Marines weren't equipped for long-standing operations, they were able to mount an effective resistance that took months for the Loc'vis to route out.
Elements of both the Second and Third Fleets we're hastily gathered to attempt a breakthrough to reach Vic'vo several times in the following months but ultimately ended in failure as Loc'vis Naval presence within the Northern Border was too high to risk a Rescue Operation.
Instead, in two months, the surviving elements of First Fleet we're eventually hunted down and killed by Loc'vis forces, dealing a massive blow to the UNGDF's morale.
Overall, Operation: Dark Star was considered to be a costly failure as only the Third Fleet was able to complete its objective on devasting Vic'to with the First Fleet razing Vic'vo to rubble at the irreplaceable cost of themselves. Second Fleet was blamed among both command and their comrades for their high losses and lack of success as the morale within Elysium continued to degrade further and further as the situation worsened.
=== 2235 ===
The UNGDF prepared for the worst as the Loc'vis had cut all forms of contact with both the UNGDF and the UGC in the Operation's aftermath. UNGDF forces within Elysium prepared for the expected Loc'vis attack as UGC were forced to withdraw their Peacekeeping Corps within the Northern Border to focus onto worsening situations elsewhere as support for both sides had vanished due to both of them breaking multiple promises and declarations to each other and the UGC, with the UGC seriously considering to expel the UNGSI entirely. Leaving the UNGDF alone to face down the Loc'vis Empire.
The UNGDF would be right in their assessment, for only three months after Dark Star was launched, the Loc'vis Empire launch their 'reclamation' campaign of the Elysium Sector from the UNGSI by declaring war against the UNGSI and launching their invasion of the Elysium Sector.
The Northern Border was quickly overwhelmed by the superior Loc'vis forces and were able to penetrate deep into the Elysium Sector by the second month of their invasion, making daring raids into the Sector's inner sphere within the first months of their grand attack.
Stationed Naval elements among the Northern Border were promptly shattered, most of their garrisoned forces were repositioned to defend the Core Worlds during the lead up to the Loc'vis Invasion with the few elements left to stationed on worlds of strategic value. The Northern Border was essentially empty, for it was known that the UNGDF would be unable to deal with the Loc'vis threat in an equal Naval engagement.
As such, the UNGDF believed that their best chance was to fight a war of attrition with the heaviest concentration of defenses being stationed guarding the Southern Border of the Sector and the Sector's Core worlds,
While the Loc'vis forces would earn many decisive victories early in the invasion, the Loc'vis Empire would face much more pressing matters domestically with their Thrall races revolting against their rule and with a resurgent Vak-Saun threat attacking deep into their domain. Limiting their capability to maximize on these victories over the UNGDF.
However, one of UNGDF and the Loc'vis greatest Naval Battles in the War was that of the Battle of the Evrytania System. Which occurred in the early months of the war, where Loc'vis Invasion Fleet believed that most of the UNGDF's ships that were active in the Elysium Sector were destroyed early in the war due to a mass misinformation campaign directed by UNGDF intelligence. This was supported by the lack of any strong Naval resistance met in the Sector during the first part of their invasion.
This would prove to be a costly mistake as once the Loc'vis Invasion Fleet started arriving at full-strength within the fringes of the Sector's inter-sphere. The UNGDF Command went into a panic, knowing that the Core-worlds weren't fully evacuated or fully fortified to withstand their attacks, they would quickly fall to the Loc'vis Invasion Fleet. Thus, the reinforced Second and Third Fleets we're quickly rushed into action against the Loc'vis Fleet in a last-ditch effort to severely delay the advancing Loc'vis Fleet.
The plan of attack was them to the engage forward element of the Loc'vis Fleet while they jumped in over the Evrytania System, the Third Fleet would ambush them from under the cover of a low-intensity ionic-storm. Using the asteroids belt over the System's second Star to shield them and to hide their signatures by keeping a relatively close distance to the System's Red-Dwarf while the Second was stationed to attack the enemy from their flanks.
The early stages of the battle went well for the Third UNDGF Fleet initially, disabling several Loc'vis at the cost of taking heavy damage on their Cruisers. However, their luck would soon turn south as more and more of the Loc'vis warped in, the Second Fleet immediately came and inflicted massive damage on the forward element's Battlecruisers. The resulting battle eventually drew on and the Third Fleet would be decimated with over two-thirds of warships being destroyed by the overwhelming power of the combined Loc'vis Fleet.
The Second Fleet fared better but still took heavy losses, losing a majority of their smaller vessels in the battle. However, they did accomplish their primary objective, for one of the Fleet's rail-guns managed to penetrate one of the hulls of a Loc'vis Dreadnought and breach its Reactor cores. Setting off a catastrophic chain response that destroyed the vessel and inflicted major damage on its accompanying Escorts.
The Battle ended in a decisive tactical victory for the Loc'vis, forcing the UNGDF to reorganize their remaining Naval assets of the Third Fleet into the mostly surviving Second Fleet. The Second Fleet's new objective was to delay the Loc'vis Invasion Fleet with Interdiction attacks on their rear flanks and supply lines. They were moderately successful in these efforts, the Second Fleet would be limited to these duties for the rest of the invasion but their actions were vital in restoring the morale of the UNGDF forces within the system.
However, this allowed UNGDF enough breathing room to continue mobilizing their forces and further entrench their defensives as the Loc'vis Fleet was momentarily fragmented from the massive attack, costing them months worth of delays as their supply chain was quickly becoming overstrained, slowing their advance into the Inter-sphere down drastically.
The UNGDF began seeking more and more Irregular forces to assist in the battle against the Loc'vis, enlisting third-party elements such as Mercenaries, Pirates and even a collection of Upyri Separatists that considered the Loc'vis Empire to be one of the largest threats to their dream of a new Upyri Empire.
The Loc'vis Invasion Fleet was also hampered further by the results of Operation: Dark Star for much staging area near Northern Border in Voc'moc was massively crippled by the UNGDF Operation. With only Vic'to being able to provide for the Loc'vis The Loc'vis Invasion Fleet at a slightly reduced capacity due to damage dealt during the Operation.
=== 2236 ===
However, despite these favorable conditions, the Loc'vis Invasion Fleet was able to continue with their invasion into the Elysium Sector and was eventually in the position to launch the phase of their invasion by laying siege onto the sub-sector of Hellas-Beta. For probing attacks into Sub-Sector Hellas-Alpha ended failure with much of the UNGDF Navy holding steadfast there.
Their objective of originally invading and destroying the Core-worlds of Athens, Miletus, and Megara seemed very improbable with resources they had on and much stiffer resistance than expected.
Thus, they began focusing their efforts on subjecting the worlds held within their newly claimed territory and to break their enemies' will through extreme planetary bombardment. This tactic was used extensively to force many races into that of Thrallhood by Empire, thus it was believed that it would work here without fail.
So one by one, would the Loc'vis have its Heavy Destroyers slowly grid-down an Elysian World with repeated Orbital bombardment until it was but glass within a matter of months. This slow yet meticulous process deeply impacted UNGDF's morale within the Sector as the Loc'vis waged a horrific war against them. As Millions were killed before they could have been evacuated in time.
Yet, this process was time-consuming and by the time they reached the Capital World of the Hellas-Beta Sub-Sector, Miletus, with this intent. The UNGDF had already established a strong network of defense guns across the planet that made prolonged Orbital bombardment a costly prospect for the attacking Loc'vis Invasion Fleet. Thus, forcing the Loc'vis Invasion Fleet to commit to a planetary assault to drive out UNGDF garrisons manning the defense guns and clear the way for the Loc'vis Invasion Fleet to decimate the planet like the others.
The UNGDF believed that a battle of attrition would hopefully provide enough time for them to mount an effective counter-attack against the Loc'vis Invasion Fleet and drive them out of the Elysium Sector. As such, they turn the mega-city of Miletus into a planet-wide fortress with other core-worlds in the Sector getting the same treatment. Mass conscription of the Elysium's populace was enforced to booster the over-stretched UNGDF garrisons.
Likewise, many of the interstellar corporations that had invested in Elysium's founding would provide a large portion of their collective armed security forces to assist the UNGDF war-effort.
The Loc'vis' Landing Forces were a highly respected military force across the Galaxy for their effectiveness in quelling dozens of planetary riots within their Empire from their thrall races in a swift yet brutal matter. Their abilities were also proven in their countless victories over the pirate factions within uncharted space.
==== The Siege of Miletus ====
The Siege of Miletus was a vital battle that was one of the most bloodiest periods in the entire war with over 10 Million dead during it alone as many workers and citizens were forcefully conscripted as situration grew increasing dire without any chance for them to evacuated en-mass as Loc'vis Raiders and Scouts cut off any chance of the UNGSI getting their people off in time.
The Siege would commence during the middle of 2236. The Loc'vis Invasion Fleet would begin their assault with a brief long-range Naval bombardment of the planet before quickly deploying a majority of their shrike-fighters to weaken various soft targets while their bombardment was focused on dealing with fortifications. Their plan of Battle was that of pure Shock & Awe.
The initial attacks had their intended effect, sending some of the Planet's defenders into momentary disarray as the UNGDF was unable to build their fortifications to completely withstand the pure destruction of the Loc'vis Phased-Plasma Weaponry. However, the UNGDF did prepare for this by having their forces be stationed within the hardened underground of Miletus's continental spanning cities with the planetary defense guns being built into the Miletus's megastructures.
Miletus's defenders were able to withstand the onslaught despite suffering heavy losses at the hands of the Loc'vis shrike-fighter wing. The UNGDF was able to inflict notable damage onto the Loc'vis Fleet during their initial bombardment through their defense guns. Their point-defenses were able to break much of the attacking Loc'vis shrike-fighter formations through mass flak and scatter-missile fire. Keeping them from dealing too much damage to the weak points opened in their defensive by the earlier bombardment.
After several hours of heavy fire traded between the two powers, the Loc'vis fleet launched tens of thousands of assault ships filled with Loc'vis Shock Troops onto Miletus's still-towering skyscrapers before departing to a safe distance out of the defense gun's range.
The Loc'vis fought a bloody battle against the weaken UNGDF forces still defending the skyline. In a matter of days, the Loc'vis Landing Force had mercilessly cleared the upper reaches of the skyline, leaving none alive in their wake. The Landing Force then able to secure the area, quickly establishing a beachhead on Miletus's skyline.
The UNGDF tried to mount an effective counter-attack to drive them back from the skylines but was still somewhat in disarray after the initial attacks and with much of Miletus now being covered in toppled buildings with rubble spilling out all across the roads. It made any kind of quick infantry mobilization impossible.
The UNGDF Air Force on Miletus wasn't able to stop the Loc'vis Landing Force from making their dorp. As the Loc'vis air-defense was far too dense for them to make any kind of meaningfully impact. The UNGDF Air Force was only able to slow down the Loc'vis Forces momentary as the UNGDF Garrisons began to regroup and reinforce their positions among the ruins.
Once, the Loc'vis Landing Forces could effectively provide resupply and repair areas for their Fleet's Shrike-Fighters and Dropships, would they proceed with their assault proper into lower regions of the Miletus's skylines. The UNGDF would engage them in brutal urban warfare, costing the attacking Loc'vis dearly for every inch they took.
This slowly become meatgrinder for both sides involved as the UNGDF would wage a guerrilla war against the Loc'vis for the next eleven months, constantly ambushing Loc'vis Landing Forces in the rubble and ruins of what was once one of the grandest cities in the Sector. Throwing thousands of lives away to chip away at the Loc'vis' numbers through continued and relentless attacks at their flanks.
The Loc'vis Landing Forces engaged in many Hunter-Killer missions against the UNGDF Defenders, murderings scores of soldiers each time. The Loc'vis Landing Forces eventually found that entrances into the Planetary Defense Network were heavily fortified and when they could finally clear out the defenses and enter the complex. The Defenders always made sure to collapse the tunnels leading deeper into the Network to halt the Loc'vis Advances.
Air Combat within Miletus was chaotic at the best of times, as collapsed sky-rails and blasted City-towers made it a long and bloody affair with very little room for evasive maneuvers. Much of the Loc'vis and UNGDF's Airforces we're destroyed during the early months of the Seige. Leaving it a mostly land-based front for both parties for the remaining time of the Siege.
Meanwhile, During Seige, the Loc'vis Fleet attempted to establish the supply posts on the other planets within the Aetolia System to support their effort on Miletus. Their attempts would be costly as the UNGDF's had already garrisoned these worlds early in the invasion with well-hidden and entrenched outposts to dissuade such attempts.
Early in the siege, the Loc'vis Fleet would occasionally tired to slowly cracked away at Miletus's Defense Network before leaving the Defense Gun's maximum range. This was fairly successful during the early period but as the invasion continued, the Loc'vis Fleet was forced to divide its forces to battle UNGDF's Naval reinforcements attacking captured worlds and to protect their rear-guard from such attacks.
As the Seige dragged on, the Loc'vis Fleet would receive less and less support from the Empire as the domestic situation continued to worsen further and further. While the Miletus's Defenders would be able to use to their well-protected manufacturing base to supply their entrenched forces. Miletus's massive underground infrastructure was unitized extensively to supply their fighting forces.
Soon, after the ninth month had passed, the Loc'vis Fleet would begin the process of extracting their forces from the Miletus as the offensive was all but concluded. The Loc'vis Fleet finally finish their exodus from the planet two months later and soon, would the rest of the Loc'vis Fleet quickly begin their retreat back to the Vic'moc Sector.
This exodus has not followed up upon by the UNGDF, for all of its forces were beyond exhaustion and barely holding on. In fact, during the last months of the invasion. The Loc'vis had suddenly restarted negotiations with the UNGSI with promises of a peace-fire if they allowed the Loc'vis Fleet to safely leave the Sector.
The UNGSI hastily agreed after a short period of tense negotiations.
Finally, two years after Operation Dark Star, would the Elysium enjoy time without bloodshed. A time to rebuild, a time to heal, a time for peace.
=== 2237-2239 ===
However, only after a brief period of pace would the UNGDF be called back into the war against the Loc'vis. As the Loc'vis Empire had found itself overwhelmed by Vak-Shaun Raiders attacking deep into their core-worlds while the lower-castes of their vassals fought for both independence and dominance in their respective regions in the shattered Empire. Worse, was the Various Ra'loc Hives vying for power after the death of the Imperial Matriarch, the leader of the Loc'vis Empire by Vak-Shaun hands.
This sprawling interstellar conflict quickly caught the immediate attention of the UGC with countless lives being endangered and many humanitarian crises arising both within and around the Loc'vis Empire. The close-proximity to UNGSI space, especially the Elysium Sector, led the UNGSI to take an interest in the conflict as rogue elements from Loc'vis Empire began attacking UNGSI elements on the Vic'moc-Elysian border.
Thus, after several long negotiations with the UGC, the UNGSI was permitted to partake in the peacekeeping affairs by sending the hardened Second Fleet the nearby Vic'moc Sector to assist the over-stained UGC Peacekeepers in helping to quell the crisis as an expeditionary force.
The reaction from the remaining elements of the Loc'vis Empire was expectedly hostile. However, they were unable to mount a long-lasting resistance within the Sector against both the UNGDF and UGC expeditionary forces.
This allowed the expeditionary forces to quickly establish themselves throughout the sector to aid the indigenous Zosskin, allowing them to slowly rebuild their fragmented civilization after years of servitude to their Loc'vis Masters. Aid from the UNGDF and UGC was slowly but steadily accepted by the formerly enslaved Omnicon and Porqeull sects existing under the banner of the Loc'vis Empire.
Yet, the second sapience race indigenous to this sector of space, the elusive Gorn'ki, Would prove to be extremely xenophobic and hostile to the UNGDF and UGC attempts to aid them. Even so much as attacking them after UGC Peacekeepers tried to assist them in fighting off invading Loc'vis Forces. The UNGDF and UGC would soon allow the Gorn'ki to handle their affairs by themselves for the rest of the conflict. Only to be surprised by Gorn'ki effectiveness against the larger Loc'vis suppression fleets alone and even after extreme bombardments, the Loc'vis was unable to stop the Gorn'ki from overrunning their ground forces. The Loc'vis suppression fleets would later forgo any hopes of taking control back over the Gorn'ki worlds.
Other threats to the UNGDF and UGC forces would be the former Trogg auxiliaries that were rebelling against the Loc'vis. Trying to forge their Nation among the broken worlds of the Loc'vis Empire for the Trogg race. They would prove to be fanatical in their quest for Trogg supremacy, fighting tooth and nail against both the UNGDF-UGC expeditionary force and the Loc'vis loyalists.
Many of the Loc'vis military assets remaining within the sector would gradually either retreat further and further towards the Empire's Core-worlds to fight the uprising vassals or rarely, fight to the very bitter end against the UNGDF-UGC expeditionary forces or the rising Trogg supremacists.
Eventually, The UNGDF-UGC expeditionary force was able to pacify the Sector after several years of hard-fought battles in the Vic'moc Sector with the surviving Loc'vis all but surrendering their claims to that Sector of space to the UNGSI and the threat of the Trogg supremacists within the Sector being mostly contained.
=== 2240 ===
At the dawn of the new Decade, the Loc'vis would formally surrender their holdings within the Vic'moc Sector to UNGSI and would peacefully withdraw the few remaining forces back to their home space as Vak'saun grew dire for the Loc'vis. The UGC ratified these in the Peace Hearing of 2240, allowing the UNGSI to partly claim the Vic'moc Sector as reparations for the Loc'vis brutal invasion and destruction of civilian worlds.
As part of the hearings, the UNGSI would be required to aid the native species of the wartorn Sector and to assist them in rebuilding their infrastructure and worlds. Bringing their quality of life from one of constant serfdom and slavery to one of the freedoms enjoyed by the rest of the Galaxy.
While the Loc'vis held much contempt for these Hearings, they could little as their Empire was bordering on collapse by the relentless attacks by Vak'saun and now that of the Xurgath fleets alongside many other opportunist factions within the Loc'vis to claim feet as the new Imperial Matriarch.
These Hearings went smoothly in the UNGSI's favor and soon the Decade long war was now finally over after 13 years of blood, sweat, and tears.
== Aftermath ==
Further cooperation between the UNGDF and UGC Peacekeeping Corps continued for several more years in regards to the collapsing Loc'vis Empire, though far more limited in scope as any remaining hostile elements of the shattered Trogg Tribes were heavily spent from the war.
The UNGSI was allowed by the UGC to establish themselves throughout the former Vic'moc Sector to provide aid to the Zosskins that were native to the Sector along providing relief to the once enslaved Omnicon and Lartorn that were now so common to the Sector as they once formed the bulk of the Loc'vis Empire's worker castes.
The Sector would slowly transform over the years under the continued efforts of the UNGDF-UGC expeditionary forces. Eventually, they were able to stabilize the area and with the cooperation of the Sector natives. Reform the entirety of the Sector and cast off the name forced onto them by the Loc'vis.
In 2241, it was decided by the UNGDF-UGC to rename the sector of space from that of Vic'moc to one that the UNGSI had chosen. That being, the Olympia sector.
