Invasion of Polaris

The **First Gexan War** or the **Polaris War of Independence** is a major conflict on the SexMP that lasted from August 15, 2021 to August 18, 2021. The war was mainly fought between an alliance consisting of the Empire of Greater Gex and r/home against the Republic of Polaris.

## History

### Background

On August 15, 2021, Jakob and Lucas bombed parts of Spawn and New Alaska. This lead to the citizens of the Republic of Gex urging the Gex Council to declare war on r/home and Dead Bush. While the Republic of Gex was preparing for a ground invasion of r/home, Alice had asked Ian to assist in an invasion of Dead Bush. To dissociate r/home from the attacks, Ian dropped Lucas as his vice leader. r/home and the Republic of Gex soon declared war on Dead Bush afterward.

The Invasion of Dead Bush marked the beginning of the Gexan War. Luke, Alice, and Jake mobilized in the territory of Brazil 2, and moved onto Dead Bush, with Ian and Enzo arriving soon after. The allies went in to find that Dead Bush had been deserted, and decided to set up camp in Dead Bush to keep watch for Jakob.

### Polaris Independence and Invasion of r/home

While the Republic of Gex and r/home were occupying Dead Bush, Aleph used the opportunity to declare New Alaska an independent nation as the Republic of Polaris. Soon after, the Republic of Polaris invaded swamp islands in r/home out of fear of being invaded from the north. The Republic of Gex and r/home declared war on Polaris as a result of the invasion and began mobilizing troops.

### Destruction of the Polaris Capitol Building

After the Republic of Gex fell, becoming the Empire of Greater Gex, Alice and Ian traveled to Polaris and attacked their capitol building in Aquila. They were met with opposition from Aleph, although Alice and Ian easily managed to kill them, marking the first offensive against Polaris.

Later, Jade traveled to Aquila and burned down the remains of the capitol.
