Portions of their land were claimed by Icenia and Yoahtl, with other portions transferred to other nations or declaimed entirely. |

The war opened on 8th December with a joint Icenian-Yoahtlan surprise attack on the Black Mesa pearl holding vault, disabling it via groups obtained by Grassland insider [[Antea4204]], with over 75,000 blocks of the vault ctr'd over. Early the next day, Icenians [[Skybridge|skybridged]] to the Florence bunker, eventually disabling it, while also obstructing a Gang Shi iceroad. Late on 9th December, Gang Shi launched a massive, five-hour long, and eventually vain attack on Altepetl that ultimately ended with the Gang Shi attack bunker disabled, 10 Gang Shi fighters pearled throughout the campaign, and ultimately one defender killed (not pearled). A skirmish between Gang Shi forces and Icenians in Icenia City on 11 December ended in one Gang Shi fighter pearled. The war ended on 12 December upon the insiding of Gang Shi and [[Butternut]] by [[ComradeNick]], relinquishing control of both nation's defensive infrastructure to the Dawn Guard Pact. |
