Eldenreich War

The **Eldenkrieg**, or **Eldenreich War**, also called the **War for Earth**, was a major series of attempted military campaigns of a coalition of Vanir Fleet and Colonial Troops (including Urukaëlite private military companies) to occupy Earth and exterminate the last living Numerians that lasted from June, 2019 to August, 2023. The Orokins mercenaries just calld it the **Earth Campaign**.

It was the most devastating event in the entire history of Mankind since the Catastrophe of Toba with half of Humanity wiped out in the process but proved to be a major blow to the declining galactic rule of the Eldenreich who collapsed a few years later. The victory of Mankind was the pinacle of a ten-thousand years's Great Design by the Numerians to avenge the Fall of Numer that happened in 9600 B.C. by killing the Witch-Emperor Akyraël Evanerius and create a Second Numer.

Operation Ymir allowed millions of humans to survive underground in a gigantic network of natural and artificial caves connected by monorails and built by Sinoviets and Americans since the 1950s around to survive MAD and preserve ressources and industrial capacities long enough to repel the invaders and their collaborators allies during a 48 month-long guerrilla warfare.

Earth's defenses were lead secretly by the Black Cabinet since the 1980s, network-centered in the Winter Castle and included over a 100 million military and paramilitary personnel.

## Before the War

### Winter War and Mission Ares One

*detailed article*

On August 16, 1977, the Stormfront (underground nazi organization) managed to contact the Vanir from the Winter Castle secret sinoviet citadel and received bleuprints for the construction of the future Dzungarian Gate, a 400-meter wide Einstein-Rösen Space-Time Bridge gate connected to the Warpgate Network.

Ten years later, in april 1987, the gate was activated by Stormfront during the Siege of the Winter Castle by a coalition of SEATO-FURA troops (including then-colonel Wilson and Alexei Spartakov) and Vanir started invading Earth from Dzungaria. Minuteman and USAF officer Colonel Cromwell piloted one of Stormfront foo fighters and blocked the chevrons of the gate, deactivating it and ended up on the other side.

Godfather intervened secretly during the Geneva Peace Conference on September 21, 1987 to unifiy SEATO and FURA military highcommands in a single entity, later known as the UMC, from the still occupied Winter Castle by showing them that the event was just the beach head of a much larger force lurking in the void of space.

### Armageddon Rock Event

*detailed article*

After the Vanir's very own "Bay of Pigs", Chamberlain Orlok Nosferatuus, the Imperial director of intelligence and black ops, convinced the Emperor of a strategic kinetic launch into Earth from the edge of the Heliopause, the legal frontier of Earth territorial sovereignty, to avoid the use of formal troops, even mercenaries for plausible denial, and disguise the attack as a natural disaster. The asteroid, nicknamed Armageddon Rock, was launched around 21 September 1987 by grappler ships and hurled the void to impact Earth in the summer of 1999 at about 150,000 kmph. The asteroid was not destroyed but repurposed by a combined FURA-NATO-Japanese effort. This was a second victory by Godfather over Chamberlain and managed to improve inter-operability of the major powers military and space assets and pour billions more into space infrastructure and orbital defense... officially against asteroid threats.

### Oumouamoua

On 19 October 2017, a Vanir stealth spyship SWACS (Spaceborne Warning And Control System) entered the Solar System to provide SIGINT/ELINT to the Vanir Highcommand. It was detected by Earth radar telescopes of NORAD and NASA of the Stargazer program based in Cheyenne Mountain.

### Perihelion and Titan Campaign

On 20 June 2019, Earth and Saturn were at their closest approach. The Apocalypse Clock ended the same day at 13:13 P.M. The second Eldengate was opened on the saturnian moon Titan, after being built their by M.A.R.S. (infiltrated by Vanir human agents).

The Spectre team deployed by GOTA Douglas Wilson, chief of staff of the joint chief of staff of the UMC (CoSJCoSUMC), to prevent a Second Dzungarian Event failed and the majority of the Spectres were MIA or KIA. A combined sinoviet-SEATO space fleets of eighteen ships sent from Mars intercepted the saturnian Eldengate who resisted multiple gigatons of bomb before being activated. A lone Vanir *Scholomance*-class battleship emerged and engaged the UMC space fleet. In twenty minutes, the human fleet was destroyed to no lose on the Vanir side.
