The Kulge Desert Blues, also known as the Kulge Conflict or the Fall of Carsodonia, was a time of immense upheval in the Kulge Desert from 2166-2172.

Carsodonian Troubles

A group of Ultranonationalist Insurgents called Hayat Tajdid Iridia (Resurgence of Iridia) launches attacks across Iroa, Carsodonia and limitedly, Wuste with the goal of forming an Iridian ethnostate. They open their campaign with a bunch of sabotage attacks, attempted assassinations against politicians and bombings of important political buildings. At the same time, they quickly consolidate in rural areas in Carsodonia and Iroa

Wurst

Ba'athist Resurgence

The invasion of North Point began with a massive naval battle, with Belkan superbattleships facing off against the Arcadian fleet. The resulting battle left the Belkan fleet in shambles, and the entire operation was at risk of being overwhelmed by the large Arcadian naval presence around the islands. Nonetheless, an extremely effective air campaign from the Zokesian and IUF carriers saw the destruction of the northern fleet, and a redirection of the landing forces allowed Zokesian and Stahlsieg troops to land on the island. This, coupled with the MCR marines who had orbitally dropped onto the island the days prior, allowed for a swift capture of one of the most strategic naval assets to the Arcadians and a heavy blow to their naval forces.

Carsodonian Collapse

Turning south, the combined Coalition Task Force 17 operated in coordination with Phoenian and Grestinian ships in the south in the Battle of the Tau Sea, a four-week long antishipping campaign. The Arcadian Navy, lacking air support, was systematically hunted down and destroyed by coalition aircraft and surface ships. The few surviving ships that escaped west surrendered to Crytil and did not take part in the rest of the war.
