Fall of Lexington: Difference between revisions

After the failed attack on the [[Lexington Vault]] on December 30th, 2017, the war again entered a lull with neither side prepared to commit the resources for an attack on the other. 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 to diplomacy, which was largely sabotaged by members of the nox leadership. [[Falstadt|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 [[Falstadt|U.F.R. Falstadt]].

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]]" after the island used by the USA in the second world war to launch aircraft carrying the atomic bombs towards Japan. The skybridge technique utilized in the second assault on Anguish and the previous assault on Nox had been perfected, and was nearlynow ready for deployment.
