Siege of Columbia: Difference between revisions

Columbia's geographical location coupled with it's access to a sizeable vault made it one of the most relevant World Police strategic assets during war. From the Crucible vault, the World Police were able to stage and launch attacks into the heart of NATO territory. Due to this fact and Columbia's previous relationship with NATO, the Crucible vaultVault and by extension Columbia were prime targets for NATO's largest offensive campaign.

Following the stalemate in the tunnels and the defeat at the Crucible, NATO began to utilize mass citadel bombing (obsidian bombing) to raze Valyria City. For over two weeks, NATO forces deployed teams of [[Exile pearl|exile pearled]] fighters to grief the city. These exile pearled players proved nearly impossible for World Police forces to stop as killing them simply resulted in them re-spawning back at their bed allowing them to continue griefing several minutes later. World Police forces attempted to prevent this attack by deploying city bastions however NATO easily countered this by constructing a large skyplatform over the city from which they could break the bastions from relative safety. This campaign resulted in one of the most devastating obsidian bombings of a city.

During a World Police counterattack into Polska City, Polskan leader Robokaiser was knocked off a cliff into an ocean full of World Policeman and was pearled. This marked a significant victory in the Infinity War as Robokaiser was one of the chief grinders and leaders of NATO. Robokaiser's pearl was evacuated from the Crucible Vault in the early morning hours via sky road to Mir's Vault to ensure that even if the Crucible were to fall, Robokaiser would remain pearled.

To break the stalemate, the World Police [[Skybridge|skybridged]] from the Crucible Vault over Polska City and by doing so, were able to completely break all of the city bastions from safety. Once the bulk of Polska's city bastions were destroyed, the World Police used NATO's own tactic against them and sent exile pearled World Police fighters into the city to disable NATO's numerous traps and other defensive infrastructure. Due to the Polska skybunker already being disabled, NATO was unable to counterattack and began to withdraw from the region. World Police forces cemented their hold on Polska and Valyria by constructing fortifications in Polska City and in the Ocean between Polska and Columbia. This marked the end of the Siege of Columbia.
