The Great War (Timeline)

## **Pre-War**

### **January 2nd, 4076:**

A day after the beginning of a new year. Tensions are still rising over in *Amearia* and *Valearia*, that doesn't really concern the *UE* or *Elemental Army*, as the *UE* thinks that any sort of intervention would make the situation worse than it already was. The *UE's* governmental council makes the final decision; they are not going to intervene in the situation.

### **January 25th, 4076:**

Days after the Council's decision, the UE learns of the Amearian's making serious threats against the Valearian's. This prompts the UE to sent a cease and desist to Amearia, to try and calm things down. Amearia doesn't take this kindly, they reject the cease and desist and halt all incoming trades from the UE and Valearia. Amearia has now effectively cut themselves off from the rest of the continents.

### **February 1st, 4076:**

The Amearians continue to threaten to kill Valearian politicians and senators, resulting in trade between Valearia and Amearia to effectively be completely cut off, leaving both without each other's materials. This isn't good for the Valearia economy, because Valearia gets most of their oil from Amearia, along with their gold and other metals.

### **February 25th, 4076:**

The UE Government cuts funding for the Elemental Army in half, due to their lack of need for it. This decision would prove fatal during the early months of the Great War.

## **The Beginning of the War**

### **March 3rd, 4076:**

Tensions between Amearians and Valearians grow to the point where they can barely stand each other, Amearians threaten the Valearians further, leaving even more separation between the two. Amearians have finally at this point been cut from any sort of Global Meeting with the other continental senators or governmental figures. This leads to the breaking point, Amearians set up camps in Northern Valearia, where the Southern Valearian government, the main cause of their issues, has no jurisdiction. The Amearians plot to kidnap members of Valearian council and execute them. They end up grabbing a Valearian Senator and an Alien-Elemental Commander. After executing them, with plenty of resistance, especially on the end of the Alien-Elemental Commander, the Amearians flee the scene and escape to Sapphiria, where crimes committed in other Continents can't be punished, due to their foreigner laws. The Southern Valearian government finally attains a search warrant for that area and as they approach the site, the explosives set in place by the Amearians go off, leading to an explosion which destroyed the base that the Amearians had set up. No Valearians were killed during this incident, but there were some injuries from flying shrapnel.

### **March 15th, 4076:**

Word of this incident spreads to the other continents, Valearians grow angry at the UE's lacks of response to the situation and during the next Global Meeting, the Valearians highlight the UE's lack of any response to the situation, which they respond that they had no knowledge of the situation. After the meeting, Valearians figure that the UE was part of this incident and hold a meeting to determine what they should do in response to this. They know that they have a lack of fire power due to the UE's superior technology, so they'll need to ally with an old enemy of the Elemental Army, the Alien-Elementals.

### **March 20th, 4076:**

The First fleet of Alien-Elementals arrive in Valearia, they plan to start with an air raid on the Elementals, but need to be careful, as the Elemental Army has some of the most advanced Plane and Jet technology. The Raid begins at 1600 hours and they start by flying over the West Coast of the UE, just casually searching the area at a higher altitude, to avoid alarm. However, Flame and his squad were coming back from a Reconnaissance mission at around 30000 hours, which is very late in the day. Flame and his squad land in the hangar, debrief their mission, and then head off to bed. An Alarm is raised in the Base, thought to have been a prank pulled by a rookie at the base, which is a common occurrence, but what was thought to have been a mere prank, ended up being the real deal. Everyone rushes to their armor stations, creating a major backup in the hallways from the amount of people rushing to their armor stations. After Flame's squad had armored up, they headed into the hangar where they hopped into their battle helicopter, and flew to the scene where the Alien-Elementals were suspected to land. Unprepared for the amount of Alien-Elementals, they were only 10 Battle Helicopters and around 30 jeeps sent out. These lack of numbers would prove fatal in the first battle of the Great War. The Elementals did manage to kill off many of the Alien-Elementals, but ended up having to retreat due to the lack of numbers they had, they ended up losing half of their jeeps and 4 battle helicopters were extremely damaged.
