Invasion of Moby

==== Overview ====
The Invasion of Moby was a pivotal military conflict that unfolded between the Shalaskan Federation and the Kingdom of Moby, lasting from 10/08/3065, to 13/07/3066. The war began with an unexpected offensive by the Shalaskan Federation and concluded with the Kingdom of Moby's strategic victory.
==== Prelude to the War ====
The Shalaskan Federation's motivations for the invasion were deeply rooted in the aftermath of The The Second Great War, which saw the Federation and Moby under the oppressive regime of the Manaza Party. After Shalaska's shift to neutrality, the Federation suffered a brutal economic downturn due to retaliatory actions by the Manaza, leading to nationwide famine and weakened defenses.
==== Misdirected Retaliation ====
* Initial Attack: The Federation, holding the Kingdom of Moby erroneously responsible for their wartime suffering, launched a surprise assault on Paridia, Moby's capital, mistakenly believing it to be the launching point of the previous Manaza invasion.
==== Key Events ====
* Moby's Strategic Withdrawal: Moby's military retreated to Marigold Fortress, a strategic holdout for organizing a counterattack and regaining lost territories.
* Formation of HDSWG: The Kingdom of Moby created an elite task force, the Home Defense Strategic War Group, comprising specialized air, land, and sea units, including the Echo Squadron, Wolfclaw Battalion, and Hammerhead Fleet.
==== Major Battles ====
* Defense of Marigold Fortress: The HDSWG successfully repelled Shalaskan bombings, marking the start of a series of tactical victories.
* Campaigns in Moby: The HDSWG engaged in multiple operations, including the liberation of Feelwell Forest and Sekli City, overcoming natural obstacles and entrenched Shalaskan positions.
==== Climax of the War ====
* Siege of Paridia Wall Mountains: The Kingdom of Moby confronted the extensive Shalaskan fortifications along the Paridia Wall Mountains, facing their formidable SFAF-22T-A Goliath VTOL warship.
* Downfall of the Goliath: The turning point came when Moby's forces managed to shoot down the Goliath, disrupting Shalaskan command and control.
==== War's Endgame ====
* Adskaya Pushka Facility Assault: The Shalaskan Federation's last-ditch effort to inflict damage involved firing railgun shells from the Adskaya Pushka Facility at Moby's urban centers.
* Shalaskan Surrender: Following a decisive assault on the railgun facility by Moby's forces, the Shalaskan Federation capitulated due to depleted military resources.
==== Aftermath ====
* Reconstruction Efforts: Post-war, the Kingdom of Moby faced the arduous task of rebuilding its infrastructure and healing the societal wounds inflicted by the war.
* Legacy: The Invasion of Moby is remembered as a conflict ignited by misdirected vengeance and misinformation, highlighting the long-lasting repercussions of war and the importance of accurate historical understanding.
==== Impact on International Relations ====
* Shalaskan-Moby Relations: The war significantly strained relations between the two nations, with mistrust lingering long after the peace was declared.
* Regional Stability: The conflict underscored the fragility of peace in a region still recovering from the scars of The Second Great War.
