On the morning of Monday, February 17th, Columbian citizens awoke to find that their vault of Crucible had been griefed and infiltrated by NATO fighters. The insider, Hollybell91, was a long time Valyrian citizen who had mistakenly been given access to vault groups, enabling her to deal substantial damage to the vault from within. Under NATO guidance, she had extensively griefed the vault and taken many of the valuables held within. Coalition forces were immediately alerted of the situation, and a team of 6 Entente and UDF fighters was dispatched to assess the damage and secure the vault. The grief was made up of large amounts of IRO and DRO, which filled most of the ground and sky bunkers, as well as obstructed large sections of the rings. Most of the doors on the vault had also been changed to NATO-owned groups, making movement around the vault very difficult. Upon their arrival at the scene, the Coalition forces set to secure the vault and bring it to a state where it could be defended, then began freeing the accounts logged inside the griefed areas. |

2 hours after the cleanup crew's arrival, a force of over 12 NATO fighters was spotted just north of the Vault. Upon being discovered, the attackers immediately charged into the vaulthole through a small tunnel on the north side, and began breaking bastions. The defenders, at this point numbering around 8, set to the Vault's sky defences and began shooting the attackers to hinder their progress, while Commander Jay M.S. harassed them outside the rings to buy time. |

Following The [[Columbian Bush War]], tensions with [[NATO]] began to rise due to several incidents in the region. Varying from Hallow harboring the criminal GThomas4 who had assisted in Kdeeks failed coup. To NATO unexpectedly passing through the Valyrian City on combat alts in a show of power. The tensions finally reached a breaking point when [[Doommad]] and [[Kaloa_HG]] were attacked by [[Vespasian]] (A Hallow Fighter) in the Columbian city of Rotterdam while they were attempting to evacuate some newfriends. This demonstrated to [[Columbia]] that [[NATO]] now had control over Columbian groups resulting in massive deterioration for NATO relations. Later it was leaked that [[Shadedoom]] actively assisted [[The Coalition]] in breaking the [[Pinkerton Vault]]. At a later date, the [[UDF]] passed a vote to declare war on [[NATO]] therefore bringing [[Columbia]] into the [[Mir-NATO War]]. |
|||
5 minutes into the assault, an Elite Squadron of Mirian Operators, known as [[Mir Team Six]] was dispatched to relieve the siege. Upon learning of this, the attackers immediately retreated back to their bunker to regroup, allowing the Coalition forces to reinforce the defences and rally more troops. |

In the early morning hours of February 17th, Columbians awoke to discover that the Crucible vault in Valyria, which was under construction at the time, was heavily greifed by a Valyrian insider as well as [[Hantzu]], [[Robokaiser]], and [[Rixxlon]]. The grief was mainly within the northern rings, signaling to [[Shadedoom]] that a NATO attack from the north side was likely. The Columbians seeked immediate assistance from Coalition forces, which was recieved. Coalition forces assisted in cleaning up a small amount of the greif in order to bring the vault up to a semi-operational status. However, a large NATO group of about 13 men had begun making their way towards the vault in an attack tunnel. They penetrated the vault wall and made their way around the main structure. At this point in time, the majority of Coalition Forces involved were trapped inside. However, [[Mir Team 6]] was contacted, and began logging in. NATO forces seeing Mirian forces logging in immediately retreated. A fatal mistake that resulted in NATO completely losing the battle that ensued. |

Mirian and [[Entente]] forces hastily made their way towards [[Columbia]] as NATO provided an open window to support the vault. It is assumed that NATO was likely regrouping and preparing for the ensuing defense force. However, whilst NATO spent time regrouping, Coalition forces from within the vault were able to finish cleaning up sky defenses as well as a small section in the ground bunker. Mirian and [[Entente]] forces arrived and got to work. Pots were brewed, Armor was passed around, and the Coalition prepared for the ensuing combat. |

With Coalition forces regrouped and prepared for the next attempt to penetrate the vaults defenses, they began building a wall to halt the NATO ground tunnel. However, during the construction of this, [[KnotNSA]] who was scouting for the next ground attack reported that NATO had placed a city bastion and begun creating a new ground tunnel. Immediately Coalition forces dug in and prepared to block up the ground tunnel. Initially progress was slow, but soon [[NATO]] was in sight. A separate group successfully popped the [[NATO]] city bastion and the Coalition moved in. A Coalition force of about 16 men began moving into the NATO tunnel, placing snitches and blocking up the NATO tunnel with obsidian. NATO was pushed back about 100 blocks before they finally halted the Coalition advance. NATO attempted to push the Coalition forces back up the tunnel back into the vault, but failed. Resulting in one of their fighters, [[BobTheBuIlder]] getting trapped, and pearled by Coalition fighters. The Coalition pulled back, storing the pearl within the Crucible. With NATO morale crushed by one of their own being pearled, NATO pulled out of the region. Leaving the Coalition to clean up the mess they left behind. |

Having lost one fighter, and failing to capture the vault or break even one bastion, the NATO contingent was forced to abandon the attack and retreat from the area.

Initial Events
On the morning of Monday, February 17th, Columbian citizens awoke to find that their vault of Crucible had been griefed and infiltrated by NATO fighters. The insider, Hollybell91, was a long time Valyrian citizen who had mistakenly been given access to vault groups, enabling her to deal substantial damage to the vault from within. Under NATO guidance, she had extensively griefed the vault and taken many of the valuables held within. Coalition forces were immediately alerted of the situation, and a team of 6 Entente and UDF fighters was dispatched to assess the damage and secure the vault. The grief was made up of large amounts of IRO and DRO, which filled most of the ground and sky bunkers, as well as obstructed large sections of the rings. Most of the doors on the vault had also been changed to NATO-owned groups, making movement around the vault very difficult. Upon their arrival at the scene, the Coalition forces set to secure the vault and bring it to a state where it could be defended, then began freeing the accounts logged inside the griefed areas.
NATO Assault
2 hours after the cleanup crew's arrival, a force of over 12 NATO fighters was spotted just north of the Vault. Upon being discovered, the attackers immediately charged into the vaulthole through a small tunnel on the north side, and began breaking bastions. The defenders, at this point numbering around 8, set to the Vault's sky defences and began shooting the attackers to hinder their progress, while Commander Jay M.S. harassed them outside the rings to buy time.
5 minutes into the assault, an Elite Squadron of Mirian Operators, known as Mir Team Six was dispatched to relieve the siege. Upon learning of this, the attackers immediately retreated back to their bunker to regroup, allowing the Coalition forces to reinforce the defences and rally more troops.
Climax
Mirian forces soon arrived at Valyria, evening both sides' numbers. Soon thereafter, NATO attempted a second push into the vaulthole, but against a more organized defence with equal numbers, they were quickly pushed back. The defenders then left the vault to break NATO's bastions from the surface, before entering and taking control of much of the attack tunnel. The attackers met them halfway through the tunnel, and fighting broke out in the cramped space.
After a close call for one of their fighters, NATO pulled back from the frontline slightly. Commander Ben Nyz, while walking up to the front to observe the enemy forces, noticed NATO fighter, Bob_The_Builder, hiding in a corner in the defender's side of the tunnel, separated from his compatriots and stuck behind enemy lines. Coalition forces immediately descended upon the defenceless builder, while at the same time blocking his escape and keeping the rest of the NATO fighters from rescuing him.
After 58 seconds of cramped, pained, and gruesome fighting, Bob_The_Builder was pearled and taken back to Crucible, with both sides disengaging and returning to their defensive positions. Only 30 seconds after the pearling, the server suffered a severe lagspike, prompting rumours of foul play.
Aftermath
Having lost one fighter, and failing to capture the vault or break even one bastion, the NATO contingent was forced to abandon the attack and retreat from the area. The Coalition, having successfully defended the vault, was now left to repair the vault, a long and arduous task which took multiple days, despite extensive international assistance.
