Battle of Lusitania

The Battle of Lusitania was a military campaign of the War of The Coalition, in which the Ok Bomber Coalition defended against incursions by Ransaki fighters to Lusitan territory. The Lusitans officially recognise the battle's duration as being from 7 December until 16 December 2019.

The primary objective of Ransaki forces was to force Lusitania to stay out of the war. In 9 December, the incursions began, with pearled fighters mainly targetting non bastioned settlements, such as Centum Cellas and Petra. On 11 December Coalition forces would be forced to pull out of Lusitania. As the battle progressed, Ransakistan also targetted Lusitan rail lines and farms. Eventually, it employed obby bombing on areas of cultural significance.

The Ransakis had subverted Coalition forces, leaving Lusitania to face the threat of incursions to it's citizens, prompting a evacuation of the entire country population. Coalition forces disrupted the Ransaki Vault and forced Ransakistan to cancel incursions on Lusitan soil.

Background

During the early months of December, multiple nations were obby bombed by the Ransakis, as a result an international treaty was signed condemning obby bombing. Spurred by the signing of the obby bombing treaty, Ransaki leaders threatened Metriximor that if any further collaboration or measures were taken, then military action would be taken against Lusitania. At the time the location of Ransakistan was unknown, as the only contact established was through a small interaction a few months prior in which Ransakis established themselves as hailing from "Dino Island".

Phases of the Battle

Coalition Forces set out from the harbor in Portucale to find the Ransacki Vault

Expecting a further escalation of conflicts, Lusitan and Coventhian officials set out to find the location of Ransakistan, and due to previous Luso-Ransaki contact, Lusitania was decided as a home base and a small outpost was built to prepare for search parties into the expansive wildlands of the northwestern quadrant. Extraneous events lead to the first casualty of the war and information on the relative location of Ransakistan. A search party was organized in Lusitania and set out of the harbor in Portucale to find the Ransacki Vault, which turned out to be roughly 2 thousand blocks from Lusitania's Capital.

Declaration of the State of Emergency

The State of Emergency was declared on 9 December, after Coalition forces decided to use the Luso-Coventhian bunker as a small outpost. A few measures were implemented to keep the citizens of Lusitania and travelers safe:

* The borders of Lusitania are now closed, save for authorized personnel
* All trips to the southern colony of Ebora are halted, unless written permission is granted.
* All citizens are now recommended to wear pvp gear while outdoors
* All citizens are required to safely /logout in safe spaces
* A report of the day will be disponibilized to all citizens for info about current Lusitan affairs

Each of these measures had the intent to keep civilian casualties to a minimum, such as highly restricting travel to particular areas of higher risk, such as Ebora which was across the sea in the same landmass as Ransakistan, or encouraging citizens to stay armored and being mindful of proper logging on and off etiquetee. Otherwise, the policy would try to keep everyone informed about the current happenings to minimize communication time relaying the same information on multiple locations multiple times.

It's important to note this is the first time the State of Emergency was ever declared in the history of Lusitania.

Although a state of Emergency was in effect the normal day to day routine proceedings never stopped, and wine production was increased to supply all the temporarily residing coalition forces.
