The Fall of Lexington was a two day siege on [[CivClassic 2.0]] of the [[Lexington Vault]] on the world border, it marked the end of the [[Somber War]] with a [[Western Alliance]] victory. The final siege employed several "new" vault breaking techniques, such as the use of advanced [[Skybridge|Skybridges]] and building an entirely new vault in chat range of the enemy vault.

After the failed attack on the [[Lexington Vault]] on December 30th, 2017, the war again entered a
Despite low morale and thin numbers, the remaining Western Alliance fighters began a Northern insurgency in February; focusing on attacking and disabling infrastructure outside of the Lexington vault - mainly Mob City, Lexington City, and Konigsberg.
The [[Western Alliance]] did not rest, though, as its leaders clamored for the release of their friends from the enticing clutches of [[sintralin]]. New alliances were formed, with nations like [[Yoahtl]] and [[Vinland]] secretly joining the coalition. At the end of March, a group of these individuals began constructing a vault 1 kilometer west of [[Lexington]]'s, affectionately named "[[Tinian]]". The skybridge technique utilized in the second assault on Anguish and the previous assault on Nox had been perfected, and was nearly ready for deployment.▼
During this period, Vaape ventured into the Commonwealth, logged off on a snitch in Arran, and was subsequently supposedly entrapped; VoteLabour was tasked with killing Vaape upon login. The logbox was placed incorrectly, and Vaape began making his escape - on the 6th of March. VoteLabour logged in shortly afterwards, and a duel ensued; VoteLabour pushed Vaape off the cliffs of Arran into the ocean and dived after him. The tide of the fight swiftly turned after the anticheat paralyzed VoteLabour in the ocean, and Vaape, with VoteLabour's pearl, began his journey back to Lexington vault - a distance of over 20,000 blocks. Having met such an unfortunate conclusion, VoteLabour had already mentally prepared himself for his imminent departure. Leadership, acting with urgency, instantly assembled Maxopoly, Diet_Cola, R3KoN, and Magier for interception. Vaape, far from his allies and lacking the resources to survive the impending interception, dropped the pearl and logged off.
Eleven days after this close call, on the 17th of March, Quinn, places a fake bounty on her alt Rail_Bot - located in a FOB nearby Konigsberg - and invites Vaape to pursue it. Vaape, expecting an easy kill and some quick fun, is confronted by Magier. In the labyrinthine tunnels, the two battle for survival for the next 5 minutes, while VoteLabour and Diet_Cola are quickly closing in. Shortly after their duel is interrupted by the arrival of WA reinforcements, [https://youtu.be/mZViwOSsRMA<nowiki> Vaape is defeated]. </nowiki>
No serious attacks on any vault were made during this period.

During the night of April 6th, 2018, the [[Western Alliance|Alliance]] began work on the bridge. A thoroughly-bastioned structure from [[Tinian]] all the way to the Lexington vault, it would provide an easy and safe method of transportation between the front and the coalition base. In the (American) morning, the attack began. Stiff resistance was met, but there was little the defenders could do against the bridge's

A few of the former [[nox]] fighters managed to escape and are now wanted.
The victory of the Western Alliance was celebrated all throughout the server, since this victory marked the end of a long lasting war that had resulted in the unjust imprisonment of a large portion of the server population..
The vault and attack bunker are now part of the Somber war Museum, available for anyone to view and tour.

▲The territory formerly owned by Lexington, including the North World Border, has been claimed in perpetuity by the U.F.R. Falstadt. They intend to disable the location to render it neutral and to build a monument to the brave soldiers, breakers, merchants, and citizens that "fought to remove the blight of Nox from the server."
