Western nexus campaign

The western nexus campaign, Vale campaign or the [nekt'zus kam'pheine] is the 2nd campaign of the Galactic conflict. The campaign was launched in the nexus arm, just east of the nexus-nova border. The campaign was to coincide with the eridus campaign so that the two expeditionary forces would meet at the exus arm to initiate an invasion on zorgian hometerritorry. The nexus bordering rim, or the vale rim was heavily defended but nebulon forces would eventually break through.

## Background

### Preparation:

* Reaction: After the major military action against starlon which was known by the other factions as the strongest military force, was wiped out instantly, This action uneased the other major factions causing them to build defence or form alliances.
* Defence: The federation started building up defence especially in the borders against the nova and uron arm. Defences such as the Protectors line In the nexus arm, The Guards blockade protecting erius and The Exus wall. Also other fortress worlds were strengthened.
* Line up: The expeditionary force lined up at the "Vah'el ente dara'asect lien" [Literally: Vale end defence line] which was a Rear line maee to resupply the force with material or munition and to repel any attacks made by the zorgians at the board. Currently the expeditionary force was supplying and calculating its munition requirememts and stocking up with men and armour. Next the city of Kkiylezieey [Alt: Ky'sse or Kysel in other languages] which would prove also succesful giving nebulon mote territorry proving a disaster for the federation.

## Vale offensive

The first offensive was decided much earlier by the upper combined flag commander's board (UCFC Board) to be commenced at the vale point with a simular capture key points and surround enemy tactic as used in the last campaign. The vale offensive would start with forces capturing Daedus which would cut off the Daedus Reinforcement routes, inturn giving nebulon access to the inner vale fields and some what controll over the outer rim of the point. The battle would cost nebulon half a corp worth of men, armour and ships but would pay off eventually. Next a decisive major battle at the subdistrict of urdurist would insue. Urdurist was an important asset containing 15 fortress systems and 1 city. Nebulon used a flanking naval stratergy to force a retreat, The commander made a major mistake of letting the navy retreat instead of destroying the fleet. This retreat would disperse the fleet which would let the fleet reinforce the fortress worlds.

the battle for Daedus:

Daedus was attacked by the 4th infantry corp with the assistance of nebulon 14th fleet and 7th armour division, a large scale battle with nebulon troops being landed at the shores of the steep 'vale ridge' which was the wrong landing position due to an commodores late decision to land the corp eastward of the intended landing point of exodus ridge. The battle for 'vale ridge' [AKA de ridhe] was intense with the zorgians repeling the nebulon troopers succesfully from the large 4 mile lengthed beach with a division attacking in each square mile. The battle became more, prolonged than expected with nebulon troops without progress for 4 rotations local standard, or around 5 rotations capital standard. The objective was to capture the ridge so that the next defensive position: Zonust plain, would be in sight for its coordinates could be logged for ships to fire apon (cause the ships in orbit were fearfull of miscalculated fire that could accidently kill the nebulon troops) and for the armour to have a landing point on the ridge without fire. After 6 days had past the nebulon troops were still at the beach intill a division broke through breaking in 4 of the 5 divisions landed at the beach. The 4 divisions who broke into the eastern area of the ridge had to push north-west intill they reached thier final target: **Vale hill**, the highest point on the ridge. The ridge had many hills, some trenched, some fortified and some protected by cannons or gun enplacements. First nebulon troops over came: Hill N87 and Hill V in a single day forcing a mass retreat of the zorgians to a higher defensive position on Colonels dip (named after the multiple colonels who ordered the retreat) where the zorgian infantry had to hold out intill support arrived. After one rotation nebulon armour had arrived to back up the nebulon infantry, zorgians were pushed back again to Cup hill. Cup hill was the final hill before Vale hill was reached. The zorgians fought off the nebulon infantry then zorgian reinforcements arrived to push back the nebulon troops all the way to Sergeants cliff, nebulon had to stop retreating or they would be captured at the cliff and would be forced to surrender. Nebulon troops had to holdoff at the cliff intill a nebulon corpral managed to order an artillery strike which forced the zorgian troops to retreat. Finally after being pushed from Cup hill the zorgians retreated towards Vale hill after 14 days of fighting. Vale hill had a minor fortification built into the hill but still posed a threat to infantry with many turret enplacements. Vale hill was first attacked by artillery by nebulon barrage lines with vehicles leading the 2 divisions left of the corp, charged with over 200,000 men thrown at the fortification forced zorgians to surrender (as a futhure retreat would mean the zorgians would have to retreat across the zonust plain [shrapnnel plain] which would expose them to artillery or sniper fire.) To the zorgians this was a disaster and the zorgians gave the order to send reinforcements to the planet, these reinforcements would arrive late though. Nebulon troops now were ready to cross the plain and assault the fortress which was on an island acccross from the plain. Nebulon troops crossed the plain which was nicknamed shrapnel plain [Sh'rappn'e fei'eld] after the abundant shrappnel peices scattered around the plain from the intense bombardments from both sides. The plain was crossed with trenches being lined at the cliff facing the island. The fortress was a large beast of metal with many cannons petruding from every side. The trenches were lined with artillery and snipers meant to weaken the cliff facing defences. Then multiple bridges were constructed for troops to cross and assault the stronghold. The strongholds island was assaulted with nebulon troops occupying the island trenches. The fortress was taken eventually through a course of 2 days. The first day saw nebulon troops breaking the outer defences and penetrating the outer defence. In the early morning nebulon troops did assault the outer wall and taking out the outer gun nests. In midday the troops moved in and assaulted the wall with heavy artillery. Finally at night the outer defence was taken and the entry way was revealed. On the second the the nebulon troops finally stormed into the stronghold, pushing bqck the defenders until they were cornered. Once the zorgians surrendered, the emperor came to the island to give the order of a mass execution of the surrendered zorgians. Reinforcements arrived but were fought off swiftly by the occupied fortress. The planet was finally taken with the final destruction of other defence/observation outposts that remained at the outskirts of the planet. After 3 weeks of fighting the planet was liberated with the cost of over half a corp. But with the planet down the 2 nebulon armies could continue on in the vale point.

Battle for Ky'sse:

Kysse was one of the most devastating battles ever, with a muddy and bloody battlefield plagued by the constant barrage of shells and plasma. The battlefield was a distorted hell that lasted for a month with a rotation of advance and retreats by troops. The battle took place in the city of Kysse which was turned from a city into a landfill of rubble and destruction. The Battle saw troops landing in the outskirts in a ring that slowly closed in with the sole intention of causing the federation to retreat.

Urdurist conflict:

Following the successful but costly ground battle of Daedus and succsesful ground battle of Kysse, Nebulon finaly engaged in the first major naval battle. Nebulon were completely safe to exit the vale nebulae. [NX-S-2] or Urdurist is a key subdistrict that contained 6 main reigons. The reigons are \*urdurist field\* the main reigon, the field has 2 large points extending on eachside, the points are daethon and taethon points. 2 filaments extend from the field with the first filament connecting to the vale nebulae. The second filament called the: \*raedus filament\* connected the urdurist subdistrict with the NX1-District [AKA: tallarus sector] which was the next objective to reach. The raedus filament was lined with strongholds and observation posts that had to be eradicated before an advance was made. Nebulon suddenly intercepted an important zorg transmission where the zorgian fleet would interdict the nebulon fleet as they pass through the urdurist field. So nebulon stationed a fleet in the taethon point that would flank the zorg fleet. Eventually the zorg fleet arrived completely unaware of the hidden fleet, nebulon made a tactical retreat to the daethon point which was in the west of Urdurist. The zorg fleet followed pushing the nebulon fleet back, but then the taethon fleet arrived. The taethon fleet made up of many cruisers and dreadnaughts started pushing the zorg fleet while the other nebulon fleet pushed it its respective side. The zorg fleet was being destroyed and made a full retreat to the planet.
