After the failed attack on the Lexington Vault on December 30th, 2017, the war again entered a lull. While Nox forces were still rarely spotted outside of the North World Border, efforts made to free the substantial number of pearls they held were limited. Hjaltland became increasingly isolationist as a civil war erupted, Frensin's Revolutionary Sect for the Restoration of the Federal State of Falstadt rejected BlueSylvaer's Republican government. By January 25th, the nation was reunified under the banner of the U.F.R. Falstadt. Some Lexington pearls were captured in the meantime, and some crises averted (like jayms' short-lived pearling at the hands of Vaape), but none of the involved vaults were touched.
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. 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.
Battle
During the night of April 6th, the Alliance began work on the bridge. A thoroughly-bastioned structure from Tinian all the way to Lexington, 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 slow crawl. Averaging around 20 attackers from the nations of Falstadt, Mir, Commonwealth, Yoahtl,
