Line 36:
The siege is considered by [[NATO]] to be one of the first significant attempts at an assault by the Mirian forces, as previous engagements have been fought over lesser bunkers.
 
Two players were pearled during the siege: Doommad, the leader of Valyria, and Godclick, a VPN alt laterof discovered to be thea banned player Capri. Small skirmishes broke out at the bottom of the vault hole and in the ocean around it, however, the majority of the fighting occurred between the Sempiternal Sky Bunker and the Mirian sky bridge at height limit.
 
== Defense of the Vault ==
At 6:34am EST, shadedoom (Columbia) pinged everyone in the NATO discord, alerting the alliance that Mir had skybridged partway into the vault. The sky bridge had breached three rings, and had reached a distance of eight blocks from the sky bunker. It is estimated that Mir had successfully broken roughly ten bastions before shadedoom noticed and alerted the alliance. This relative success early on is due to the fact that, at the time of the attack, the Northern portion of Sempiternal's snitch curtain was incomplete, allowing Mir Team 6 to sneak by undetected from that direction.
 
A major aspect of the defense of Sempiternal was that, at the time, it was largely a work in progress, and lacked many features planned for later implementation. Additionally, the vault was not fully stocked with all of the potion materials and such needed for its defense, and this issue was further exacerbated by the poor initial reaction of shadedoom to destroy some materials in the sky bunker, not seeing the initial defensive response he had hoped for upon alerting NATO.
Line 57:
 
NATO defenders were quick to seize the opportunity by breaking deep into the Mirian sky bridge and attack bunker, greatly disabling and destroying both. Around the ninth hour of the attack, Mir completely withdrew to other bunkers and to Mir Proper, ending the siege.
 
== Record of Cheating ==
 
Cheating is rampant in the minecraft community and any action taken should be considered in light it, should it have occurred. Godclick was a previously unknown account that came to defend the vault. He was added to groups and constantly harassed the attacking forces. When pearled the NATO forces claimed to not know who he was and that he was "just a random". A month after the attack on the vault it was revealed that Godclick was the banned player Capri, leader of Rhodesia. It was also made known that he was using a hacked client.
 
Ultimately in this particular instance of cheating it almost certainly did not have an effect on the outcome of the attack, however, had he pearled one of the attackers it would have had large consequences on the future of the war at this early stage.
