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. |

The Kulge Desert Blues, also known as the Kulge Conflict refers to a time of immense upheval in the Kulge Desert encompassing multiple regional conflicts from 2164-2176. Those concerned include the successful Wuster Neo-Ba'athist revolution, the Hayat Tajdid Iridia Insurgency in Iroa and Carsodonia resulting in the collapse and absorption of the latter into the former, the collapse of the Pan-Vanadian Commonwealth into civil war among its component tribes, civil unrest in Nuvastia, and the re-establishment of the Principality of Puge-Tatar.
Background
The Collapse of the Pan-Vanadian Commonwealth
By 2164, the Pan-Vanadian experiment had failed horribly. In the years following the unification of the great Kolus desert by the Pan-Vanadian Commonwealth, the nation had experienced terrorist bombings, crime and corruption almost from its inception. The Pan-Vanadian government operated by local provincial leaders meeting in one Vanadian Council, but few could ever agree with one another. Those with oil and mineral rights horded them and refused to share with those less fortunate. Those with water shared but quickly became hostile when the oil and mineral producing governances attempted to seize rights through land buyouts. The great inter-government fighting reflected in the streets and cities of Pan-Vanadia, and as the 2160s waned, despite the efforts of the Zokesian government to solve or quell the strife, the Pan-Vanadian commonwealth slipped into tribal warfare once again.
Nuvastian 2169 Event
Around 2164, similar strife occured in the Nuvastian Republic, with fighting breaking out for control between the pro-Aontas Bastian Confederacy and the Nuvastian ethnic majority. The fighting reached a boiling point in 2169 when a sinkhole caused by a suspected dirty bomb razed the Nuvastian capitol city, throwing the state into chaos.
Carsodonian Blues
Carsodonia's economy was faltering and minority rule made the rulers of the nation increasingly unpopular with the masses.
Igniting the Conflict
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 They're quickly expelled from the cities but they put up stubborn resistance in the mountains and deserts, Carsodonia has a more difficult time dealing with them so they allow Iroan troops to cross the border and jointly control the highways
Carsodonian Collapse
The war basically turns into a slog from here, slowly bombing and rooting out cells in the deserts, and then in the northern mountains
Carsodonia effectively becomes subordinate in the latter years of the campaign
Wurst Blues
Ba'athist Resurgence
at the same time that this is happening,there's a Ba'athist revolution in Wuste
Nufayat Blues
Eubudist Cause
At the same time, Eubudist fundamentalists take control of Nufayat province and are initially considered hostile by Carsodonia and Iroa, but they prove effective at fighting HTI in the mountains and so they form a tense alliance
Establishment of Eubudist Al-Nufayat
Rebirth of Puge-Tatar
The surviving members of the Royal House I'l Sil of Puge-Tatar returned to Wardia in 2169 to guide the troubled state in pushing back the violence that was stemming over the border from Pan-Vanadia. With funding from the Zokeisan central bank, the new Wardian Puge-Tatar hired the Stahlsieg once again at the lament of the Zokesians. The D'alawar equipped itself with surplus aircraft from the region and fought a successful campaign to regain its old borders through counterinsurgency operations thanks to close air support.
Battle of the Pyramids
A turning point for the Puge-Tatar campaign came in 2175 at the Battle of the Pyramids, where a small force of RHDE main battle tanks was ambushed by a large concentration of rebel forces. Through effective close air support from A-87 Twin Firescout attack aircraft and the Stahl Sieg's 22nd SS. "Reine Karsodonier," the rebels were broken and their leadership scattered to the east, effectively marking the end of conflict in the Western Kulge desert region.
A New Vanadian State
By 2176, the state of Greater Puge-Tatar had been formed and stretched 50km east and 40 km north of its old borders, and its influence reached deep into the heart of the desert. In the place of the old Pan-Vanadian Commonwealth, the Taci Vanadiya Idare Edilir was formed as a vassal state to the Principality of Puge-Tatar, cementing their control of the region under a centralized state.
Aftermath
Casualties
too damn many
