The Azur War

## Cause of the war

The Azur War was the direct result of the invasions on Dragon Empery and Northern Parliament, where the shipgirls of Azur Lane declared war on the Sirens and House of Salvation. Despite negotiations made by Observer 0, the Vex Council, and Crimson Axis to stop the war effort, Azur Lane maintained their stance. The Fluegels and Eliksni also made efforts to prevent war outbreak, although it was already too late. On July 18th, (Possibly 6743) the Azur Lane began the war effort.

## Length, Progression, & Results

After three years of wartime, Azur Lane emerged victorious. Crimson Axis retreated from the war for unknown reasons a few months before the war ended. After the Arbiters, Enforcers, and other sirens were defeated and surrendered, the war officially ended. Observer 0 personally arrived to make a peace treaty with Azur Lane, much to the chagrin of the remaining Arbiters. Azur Lane also formed a treaty with the House of Salvation, although it was only a peace treaty, rather than an alliance because of their previous hostile actions against Azur Lane. The Azur Lane did not interact with the Cyberfluegels or the Vex, mostly because both were involved in their own war. The Sirens who started the war effort against Observer 0's wishes were forced to assist the Azur Lane in rebuilding their damaged headquarters. However, tensions between Crimson Axis and Azur Lane were extremely high, and Crimson Axis made a deadly alliance with the infamous Red Legion of the cabal shortly after the Siren-Azur Lane compromise. Despite the treaty, the Sirens continued to assist and supply Crimons Axis forces.

## Casualties and Damages

The Azur Lane's immense power gave them the upper hand, and they quickly dispatched the Eliksni and Vex. After losing about 3,000 soldiers, the House of Salvation switched sides and joined Azur Lane, betraying the Sirens. The Cyberfluegel followed the House of Salvation but upon switching sides took a more passive role in the war, by supplying weapons. After the Vex lost a good portion of their forces, they left the war effort and began their own war against the Fluegels, leaving only the Sirens and Azur Lane to battle it out. Damages done to island areas and local ports reached about 57 million, which was relatively low compared to other major wars. At some point, Crimson Axis took part in the war in a unique way: The Ironblood and Sakura Empire joined the Sirens, but Vichya Dominion and Sardenga Empire refused to join any side in the battle.

## Involved Races

The Eliksni, Vex, Fluegels, shipgirls, and Sirens were involved in the war, including supporting races from the House of Salvation.

## Trivia

The Arbiters and Enforcer Sirens were forced by Observer 0 to help the Azur Lane rebuild their base, which surprisingly helped lower the tension between the two slightly.

Upon the end of the war, Azur Lane offered the House of Salvation a permanent home at the port upon a serious treaty against betrayal. They accepted, but defend the port extremely fiercely, preventing merchant ships from visiting the port and any visiting Crimson Axis ambassadors.

During the Azur War, the Cyberfluegel attacked the Vex, causing a separate war to occur.

The Tension between Azur Lane and Crimson Axis after the Azur War ultimately led to the two clashing in the largest oceanic war ever recorded.
