First Battle of Nausicaa

The First Battle of Nausicaa was the first battle in the war between NERP and the Veldski Defensive Coalition. It was fought on the 27th of March 2022 (78 AD in the Daelyrian calendar). It was conducted from the claims of Nausicaa (VDC) and Azadi (NERP). 
== Background ==
=== Kazhani annexation of Veldion ===
The United Kingdoms of the Kazhan annexed the Plagosi nation of Veldion through diplomacy. This was not done as an agressive act, but as a mutual deal between both parts. The nations of Plagos reacted negatively to this, fearing a return of the Plagatean empire due to NeroTheGardener's involvement, and NERP declared war with Nova-Regna making the first announcement. Kazhan reacted to this by contacting the Kingdom of Daelyria, the Lunari Empire and the Empire of Simulami, who in turn brought in more allies, such as Daelyria bringing in Goonguard. The stage was set for a war such as Plagos had not seen in decades. 
=== Initial peace talks ===
Seeing this large coalition form behind Kazhan and Veldion, NERP started peace talks. The leaders of the VDC asked for tribute in cash from the nations in NERP and their recognition of Kazhan's annexation of Veldion. The leaders of NERP refused the offer, preferring instead to go to war.
=== Preperation of defenses ===
Both sides set to working on building their defenses. Claims were eventually found, and a war time set. Berries were placed all around the claim of Nausicaa, which was prepared as the site of battle for the VDC forces, as well as enforcements made to the wall. 
== Battle ==
=== VDC forces ===
The offensive forces of the VDC army consisted mostly of Goons from Goonguard, soldiers from Lunaris, soldiers from Viodoxa and some soldiers from other nations like Kazhan and Osterium. The offense was a huge success, standing in large part for the 131 enemy casualties. Several chunks were claimed, though there was some severe bugs with the capture blocks, making them simply turn into woolblocks when deployed. Still, a huge success in general. The attack was divided into several commands, but especcially the divisions from Goonguard, led by their emperor InverseAtom, were effective (citation needed). Kills totalled 131.
The defensive forces of the VDC also did an admirable job in the battle, repelling an assault agains the north of Nausicaa with minimal casualties, routing the attackers. The limited caves underneath were also held secure, though no attacks were reported. A single capture claim was made, but was quickly destroyed once the enemy were routed from the scene, resulting in the defense of Nausicaa being a complete success for the VDC forces. The defenders consisted mostly of Daelyrian, Simulami, Veldski and some other soldiers. The defence was lead by CrazyKings of Simulami, with the subcommands being held by Dusk_Shard (Dusk Synderys) of Daelyria and Adityacraft of Veldion. 
=== NERP forces ===
A single offensive deployment was made towards Naucassia, where several NERP elites were deployed, presumed to be from the Vinovian mercenaries. They were quickly detected by the scouting party of the defenders, led by Adityacraft. The attack was placed towards the north of the fortress, but was repelled by the swift action of General CrazyKings even before they reached the walls of the fortress, placing down one failed capture point. The NERP elites, while highly skilled, were hopelessly outnumbered by the defensively stationed nations of the VDC.
