First Continental War
Template:Battle (fixed)The Arkadi-Zokesian war, also known as "Giants in the Playground" was a conflict between the Communist Union of Arcadian Socialist Republics and the Tau-Coalition.
Invasion of Wo'
The war started in 2072 when the Blythian-led Coalition Against Communism declared war on the Communist Republic of Wo'. In response, Arcadia blamed Zokesia for the actions of the coalition and declared war on 7 June.
Air War over Arcadia
All Zokesian assets in Bravis were relocated to Aeseria and joined with the rest of the newly formed Tau Coalition, where plans were being made to start the air war. Since Aeseria had a natural border to the south it made logical sense to fight and take air superiority before launching airborne and naval invasion. In the north Eurekan naval support launched Liberty Fighters and Zokesian jets took off for a bloody air war that would claim hundreds.
The commander of Zokesian forces in Aeseria, Sir Roger Kerman, was reluctant to send everything at once, instead deciding multiple waves of fighters would be the best bet. The arrival of an extra 100 Eradican fighters to the Arcadian side was a surprise, and with the extra planes Zokesia and her allies found themselves facing a 3:2 disadvantage. Despite this losses were roughly equal, with some of the first Blackout losses in recorded history when they attempted to fly anti-air missions over territory patrolled by Arcadian fighters.
The Fall of Arcadia
The bloody war in the air was not the cause of the Arcadian fall, but no one really knows why it happened. A strange silence fell on the troops and they wondered what could be next for them. A single patrol flight of 4 Z-80 "Fox-C" fighters flew over Arcadia the next day and not a single sign of resistance was met. All was quiet over Arcadia, a stark contrast to the raging inferno of air war the day before.
A small task force of marines was landed on the southern shores of Arcadia where the cities were found abandoned, homes burned and bodies lining the streets. Whatever happened here was bloody and brutal. The Zokesians did not feel like victors. Whaever killed these people was truly beyond the scope of war or battle. It was pure death.
Minor Baskay War
The Minor Baskay War was primarily fought between the Tau Coalition and Spearka and colloquially referred to as the continuation war. The theatre included both hook islands isolating waterways into Arcadia.
