| ====== Unity War Timeline ====== | |
| Note: All times are given in SCT+0 24 hour format. | |
| |
| * **4/18/AE238**: [[.:Operation Blue Rebel]] - A covert team of agents supported by the [[..:Factions:UA|United Alliance]] is found and captured in the [[..:Factions:USC|USC’s]] [[..:Locations:Eastern Military District|Eastern Military Districts]], formerly the [[..:Factions:Celic|Celic Republic]]. They are charged with espionage and are accused of trying to start an open rebellion against the USC. The UA officially denies any contact with the group and accuses the USC of war-mongering. This day is usually considered the start of the Unity War. | |
| |
| * **4/19/AE238**: [[..:Factions:Celic]] nationalist revolts crop up in cities all over the [[..:Locations:Eastern Military Districts]], the [[..:Factions:USC]] begins a purge of the entire region using the 5 local divisions of the 76th Army (1238th ID, 335th MID, 1083rd OD, 57th AD, and the 588th OD) in addition to the newly transferred 32nd Army. News reports showing government brutality are leaked to the world media by rebel forces. | |
| |
| * **4/20/AE238**: The [[..:Factions:UA]] forms the 8th Special Joint Fleet. In addition to the numerous carriers and other war ships, news reports show many transport ships and landing craft in amongst the fleet on its westward heading. Widespread rumors of a UA invasion/liberation of [[..:Factions:Celic]] abound, though the alliance denies the charges and says the fleet is to “defend all UA territory from [[..:Factions:USC]] tyranny.” Rebel commanders in Celic take this as a promise of support, as Celic was a former UA member, though many national units in the fleet are from nations with non-aggression clauses in their UA membership. | |
| |
| * **4/23/AE238** | |
| * **8:00**: The [[..:Factions:USC]] main processing unit “Divinity 0” makes a Priority A Policy Declaration with the unanimous support of the Divine Makers. In order A-385 the United Security Command formally declares war against the [[..:Factions:UA|United Alliance]]. At the very moment the declaration is made the 8th Fleet is engaged off the coast of Mena. The UA fleet is routed in a matter of an hour by several newly designated USC taskforces including the 118th, 35th, and 92nd Combined Fleets. | |
| |
| * **4/25/AE238**: | |
| * About 20% of the remainder of the 8th Fleet reaches port in [[..:Factions:Valan]]. The Valan navy engages detached elements of the [[..:Factions:USC]] pursuit force – the skirmishes last for most of the day. [[..:Factions:Republic of Agathos|Agathonian]] elements of the 8th Fleet are recalled to the port in [[..:Locations:Anliana]] and depart immediately. | |
| * Elsewhere the USC 118th and 83rd Combined Fleets launch a full invasion on the [[..:Factions:Umere|Umerick]] sea colony [[..:Locations:Ume’shenal]]. Civilian and military casualties are estimated in the thousands as the floating city is bombarded and eventually occupied. Rumors that the USC [[..:Technologies:MARCS-Class Ship|MARCS class airship]] [[..:Technologies:MARCS-Class Ship:Gelaunth]] participated in the battle are quickly denied by USC media liaisons, however unconfirmed photographs quickly circulate. | |
| |
| * **4/29/AE238**: | |
| * **8:00**: News reports and communicates from across the [[..:Factions:Republic of Agathos]] go down, while initially seen as a technical glitch, networks are cut off for over 6 hours. Many cities panic for fear of [[..:Factions:USC]] sabotage. Scattered riots break out, and many police forces find provincial militias mysteriously absent in this time of crisis. | |
| * **14:30**: Networks slowly come back online, though with access still spotty at best. Sketchy reports come in of a [[.:FDC coup|military coup]] in progress all over the country. There are some reports of fighting between army units, but it is unclear if the military infighting is widespread. Dramatic footage is captured of Army Ranger units assaulting the Senate building in a heavy firefight with local Capital Police. | |
| * **15:00**: The army releases a news bulletin across the nation’s emergency broadcast channels and news services. In it the President of [[..:Factions:Republic of Agathos|Agathos]] orders the Senate and Represenative Assembly to dissolve, and orders all citizens to cooperate with the army’s attempt to restore order. | |
| * **17:00**: Another presidential transmission announces a special broadcast to be aired in 3 hours time, and instructs all citizens to view it. | |
