Operation Vaktovian Freedom

Operation Vaktovian Freedom, otherwise known as Operation Vakkie Freedom is an ongoing military operation currently being undertaken by the Humanity First Coalition (HFC) against the Vaktovian Empire (VAK). The goal of the operation is the total liberation and occupation of the Vaktovian held planet of Varcia. As of 2024, Phase I of the operation has been completed with no clear victor.
==Background==
The clans of the HFC were no stranger to taking on the Vaktovian giant, indeed many were present at the famous CWC Invasion of Varcia the year prior. Aiming to recreate the success of that battle, the HFC began drawing up plans for a second invasion of Varcia. 
In the days prior to the beginning of operations the HFC had already begun preparations for war, including a practice raid hosted at Haven Archipelago, Hydora in anticipation of VAK assaults upon the world. 
==History==
=== First Raid on Steppes of Varcia ===
Following a rally at the newly constructed FOB for the operation, the first of the Coalition's raids on Varcia begun on 4/6/2194 at 4PM EST. A simple plan of dedicating each of the Coalition's member states into attacking different points. The plan also commissioned the single "special" forces squad called "Goon Squad" lead by SEC-OPS MSGT Zockie, which acted as an ad hoc strike force consisting of heavy hitters from RDA SEC-OPS and USCM Crayon Crunchers. Communication was handled by several radiomen, mainly Marines, to tie each respective squad in with the rest of the HFC.
 
Following an initial successful push to take the Ocean Spawn point, the initial landings turned into a slog with capture points changing possessions several times through the first thirty minutes. Forces that approached points C and D were met with heavy resistance. The VAK defenders were not eager to give up their imperialistic foothold on Varcia and fought fiercely to keep hold of the landing site. Through skill and a terrifying devolution to their cause, VAK forces slowly whittled down Coalition forces. Despite a heroic effort to keep hold of as many control points as possible, the landing force was repelled with a final score of 8,000 points to 6,009 points defeat to VAK. This marked the first battle of Operation Vaktovian Freedom as a VAK victory. Coalition forces would pull out from Varcia after an estimated 1,500 casualties. 
=== First Defense of Haven ===
VAK, not satisfied with their victory on Varcia, gave the unexpected announcement that they wanted to counter raid Haven Archipelago an hour after the conclusion of the raid. The HFC were able to rally over 60 combatants all eager to defend Haven from Vaktovia once again. The Vaktovians were tardy and arrived with an underwhelming amount of invaders. Half of the rallied personnel were redirected to another front on Hydora.
The remaining HFC Defense forces, like the previous engagement, utilized USCM radiomen to connect the different fireteams together and tasked a reinforced Goon Squad with the same role. Vaktovians heavily prioritized the capture of Bunker and Dockyards, though with the Goon Squad able to back-capture Port Haven, Vaktovian reinforcements were diverted leading to surrender of the prior occupations. HFC forces would claim victory since the invading Vaktovian force could not lower the Sovereignty to a significant level.
