**Operation Desert Chad** was an alliance war which started on 23 August 2023 and ended on 14 September 2023. It was the fourth major alliance war in Aurora and set a new record for war length at 23 days, 11 days more than the previous record held by the Ferdinand Foch War. The war also marked the end of a 4 month long peace between major blocs between late-April and late-August 2023.

The conflict began with a blitz by Morningstar, The Hillbilly Coalition and Generic Alliance on Cosa Nostra, The Last Guardian and Skull & Bones. As the conflict dragged on, allies and protectorates would join the fighting, expanding the conflict.

## War Progression

On 23 August, Morningstar, The Hillbilly Coalition and Generic Alliance declares war on Cosa Nostra, The Last Guardian and Skull & Bones, citing [Placeholder]. On the same day, Skull & Bones recognises hostilities. The Last Guardian recognises hostilities shortly after.

6 hours after the outbreak of hostilities, The Hive joins the war on the side of Jonazc Bloc via the optional aggression clause in its ODoAP and MDoAP with Morningstar and Generic Alliance, respectively. Skull & Bones immediately cancels its MDoAP with The Hive.

At the same time the initial stages of the war took place online, Chad of The Hillbilly Coalition, fought on the ground in Jordan, near the location of the Petra, capturing the monument and uploading celebratory photos, which proved to be the decisive factor in maintaining Jonazc Bloc morale. In honor of this outstanding feat of might, the community named the war Operation Desert Chad. Unfortunately, due to the poor connection in the area, Chad could not partake in the online blitz.

On September 8th several members of Skull & Bones deserted to Terran federation, which marked the final stage of the war. The desertion had a negative impact on CN sphere's morale,

Following those events, Pascal, (CN sphere Chief MILCOM) went AWOL, later quitting Cosa Nostra. Sphinx, after learning of Pascal's departure, also left on the 12 September 2023.

## Post-War

Deserters from CN Sphere, most of whom found refuge in Terran Federation, became subject to an anti-war dodger crusade led by The Last Guardian. Hostilities between TLG and the deserters largely ceased following a public apology by the deserters.

Pascal and Lord of Puns would make their own one-man alliances in a prolonging of the war in which they would heavily raid Evil Co. (post war Jonasz Bloc) as well as the CN Sphere, ironically meaning the former enemies would end up on the same side. This conflict would be known as the Continuation War.
