The netherite war (first coalition and UAE)

## Overview

The netherite war is known for being the first war on Theia, its sudden trigger but its long term buildup, and the sheer size of the war. It was a war between the WUC, northern isles and United Ape Emirates. It is called the netherite war due to the trigger event

## Long term buildup

In the past there had been much hostility between the WUC and the UAE. As seen in the first and second tensions, there was a lot of isues in their relations. The WUC claimed that the apes were thieves, murderers and rude. There had even been a false war in the past. This created a lot of tension for the war. Additionally, it was known in the WUC how eager the apes were for power. It was also known they had no care for others claims.

## Trigger

Northern Isles side: On the 9/13/21 St\_GeorgeFloyd would enter Northern Isles mining area. There he found Coolgummybear who tried to talkwith him to keep it a secrete. Out of no where St\_GeorgeFloyd attacked Gummy who ran away, Sheepboi121 in response quickly came to help but had weak gear on so he aswell died.

Apes Side: On the 9/13/21 St\_GeorgeFloyd would enter Northern Isles mining areas and when he got there he was attacked by Gummy and then Sheepboi121. In response he fought back and killed both of them.

## Afterwards

### The Declaration

The UAE declares a war on the Northern isles on 09/12/2021.

### The WUC involvement

The WUC would then have a vote on how to deal with this situation. seeing that this was a blatant overstepping of their rules in the treaty of Vinhmoc. they would message the Northern Isles that they were coming to support them as fellow friends! They would declare a war on the UAE in the hour. they seemed to have expected this, stating they were prepared for the war and were going to crush the two involvers

### The forming of the First Coalition

The WUC and Northern isles would officially join for the war a coalition. This would help to coordinate their attacks

### War date and results

The war is scheduled for the 18/09/21, results are unknown

## Events during the war

### DAY ONE

#### Fighting begins!

At 3:00 EST fighting began on both sides after the temporary truce was called off. This would be the beginning of day one

#### Defense of the North

The Coalition Troops gathered at the North, defending their Sothern most towns. Hpwever while a few UAE soldiers were found by the most part it remained clean from the struggles of war. With nothing happening they Command decided to push south.

#### The battle of the canal

Soon after rallying in Melita, Coalition forces sail east to takeover the quiet colony of Apelandia. This would become known as "The battle of the canal" as the troops sailed through the canal, where the apes, not expecting it, could only muster up a few fighters.

#### The fall of Port Proton

As the battle in the east was won, the coalition heard of a sailing force entering into lake Bricantia. They would sail into Port Proton, met by little resistance due to how unlikely an invasion here was. Before the bulk of the army could even arrive the port, the Unions capitol, had fallen been surrounded. It was a bloodbath and aptly named "The Protonian siege". Coalition forces were crushed here. The army fell back to the city of UNION, where they would dig in for a long and arduous battle

#### The Siege of the mountains

UNION is renowned for being the highest point discovered so far in the western hemisphere. This was going to be an all out frontal assault of the vault. As the tiny army marched up the hill, they were met with a volley of hellfire. Then the infantry would charge into their forces. Both sides would fight bravely to the bitter end, the mountainside strewn with the bodies and blood of both monkey and human. Eventually the coalition infantry would call a retreat, and the ape army moved forwards, once again receiving hellfire. However, this would not stop the collapse of the bunker. Storming into the safehouse, renowned for its protectiveness, the apes would murder many people there, laying waste to the land. The coalition forces and vip's retreated from UNION, taking whatever they could with them, and fell back to Bricantia to heal.

#### End of Day one

Day one would be summarized as a minor ape victory. While they took a nations land(which since then has been recovered), they lost a colony vital for trade in the east. They also failed to gain control of any of the artifacts.

### Day 2

#### The embargo of Stowark

Stowark was home to two mercenaries on the United Ape Emirates side. They slew many of the coalitions men and were a serious problem. The solution was to put a heavy, coalition wide embargo on them, which would be a hinderance to the regions economy

#### The reoccupation of Apelandia

Apelandia was sieged once again by the UAE. The Coalition troops could not get there in time and so they lost the town.

### The Skirmishes

With sieges taking more and more time the war began to turn to skirmishes and hit&run tactics.

#### The outbuying of the mercenaries

The Coalition seeing the mercenary forces from Stowark being the most efficient fighters for the UAE were bought off to end the war sooner.

### The beginning of the end

Having lost the mercenaries, who had been a large part of their success, the nation lay largely dormant for the coming weeks of war. Eventually, due to a crisis at the top (Inactivity) the nation surrendered. Surrender terms are yet to be discussed. The Apes official surrender was 12:00 AM, 4th of October. The war had gone on for almost an entire month, starting on the 12th of September. The Netherite war will be remembered as the first recorded war on Theia, and the largest for some time. It also shows the shared hatred the western world would have for the apes, enough to unite.

## Numbers

UAE- 5+ (and two mercs)

First coalition- 30+

## War maps and plans/ sieges

This is being kept secret so neither side gets wind of the others plans, until the war is won

### The human effect

The apes, self-proclaimed as "peaceful" Would be traumatised at this event

This war encouraged Western unions and alliances, and made people more eager to go to war
