VAK War

== Announcement ==
On July 2nd, 2188, rumors of an army amassing in order to beat back the Federation began. The Vaktovians and their army had long looked at Haven as a possible target to invade, but no one knew if these spontaneous rumors were true or not. But a month later, VAK forces were spotted in the atmosphere of Hydora. After sightings of Insurgents on land, the First Defense of Haven ensued, thus beginning the VAK war.
== First Defense of Haven ==
[August 3rd, 2188] After sightings of insurgents were confirmed, UWF forces rallied themselves around the Bunker area of Haven, and prepared for the assault. USCM Forces were to be stationed at Dockyards, and hold out any incoming waves of foes. Other UWF allies placed themselves around Haven. A QRF (Quick Reaction Force) from the USCM was also issued, in case certain points fell and a bit more men and firepower were needed to secure an area or two. Insurgent VAK forces mostly focused on rush tactics, utilizing strength in numbers to seize points from UWF defenders. This lead to most insurgents being gunned down mercilessly. Due to VAK not changing their strategy throughout the defense, they lost their offense. The first battle of the war was a victory to the UWF.
== Second Defense of Haven ==
[August 4th, 2188] Once again, VAK decided to have their try at Haven. The Second of Defense of haven ensued the day after the first defense. After VAK had learned their way around Haven, their experienced helped them gain a victory during this battle. More enemy armor and vehicles were utilized in taking point, along with some aircraft. UWF forces at points were overwhelmed at almost all points from enemy infantry and armor. This was the first defeat during the war for the UWF.
== First Offensive of Port Maersk ==
[August 4th, 2188] After a sudden defeat at Haven, UWF Forces decided to take the fight to the Vaktovian forces. In order to push into VAK territory, the UWF had to secure Port Maesrk. On the same date of the Second Defense, USCM and SGC forces attacked one section of Port Maersk, whilst RGRM and Mobile Bloxxers attacked another. In order to seize Masersk, the capturing of the dockyard area must have been completed, along with the seize of a nuclear terminal after taking the dockyard area. Both offensives however, resulted in a defeat. Understanding this was the UWF's first time to ever invade Vaktovian territory, it was not taken lightly as a minor defeat.

The USCMC decided to have only its clan send a force to Port Maersk and study the area whilst fighting. After rallying and preparing for the raid, USCMC attacked the Dockyard area with immense force, defending the area ferociously. The USCM had secured dockyards until a swarm of VAK forces took the terminal area by surprise. With USCM personal being slaughtered during the surprise attack, SSGT TostitosYTaquitos flung his body onto the point in order to hold off the enemy, unloading his weapon into foes around him. His actions successfully made the USCM secure the Dockyard area, and move onto the nuclear terminal. The USCM was not able to take the terminal in the end, but learned new tactics and strategies for future use in Port Maersk. Tostitos sustained many wounds during his lone charge and defense of the Dockyard terminal, but lived, and received the Navy Cross soon after the battle concluded.
