Line 18:
After the pearling of ChrisChrispie and Hockey, and with Lusitania unable to be properly defended by members of the Coalition, an order was put out to remove all players from the nation ''(see more in [[Battle of Lusitania#Declaration of the State of Siege|Declaration of the State of Siege]])''. Defensive infrastructure around Lusitania was disabled and a pullback to within the Icenian boarders was called. About a month prior to this, a work-in-process vault was found around the 0,0 area in the land of Imperial Truidence. This vault was being constructed by old 1.0/2.0 Ancaps who had justified the construction of the vault based on original claims to the region, claims that had been defunct for almost two years. The result was the planning of "Operation Icarus" by the UDF, which would be aided by some outside consultation, to disable the vault.
This was done, after much concern from coalition and UDF higher-ups shortly after the abandonment of Lusitania, and proved to be a massive morale boost for the Coalition.
== Coalition Victory ==
After pulling back from the front line in Lusitania, fighters were re-organized predominantly in Coventhia, Icenia, and Yoahtl as supply lines were re-worked. During this time, skirmishes continued to happen at the Ransakistan Vault and Ransakistanis began to be pearled, offsetting the tool that the early war had placed on nations in the Coalition. It soon became clear after these pearlings that Ransakistan was on the ropes and unable to leave their vault and shortly afterwords, a impromptu vault break was preformed with exiles running materials to the front-lines from Icenia to Lusitania. Eventually, Coalition forces managed to punch through the vault and make it all the way to the spike before any of the pearls could be evacuated, and as a result, all pearls in Ransakistan were released and the vault looted and flooded. It was clear that Ransakistan had been defeated.

== Broader Implications of the War ==
As a immediate result of the war, it had become clear that a larger Anti-NATO international body had been formed consisting of mainly Entente, SATO, and UDF member nations. Backing this anti-NATO sentiment was a belief that NATO had simply sat back while a vault was built on a previously hotly contested border with the HJE. Others suggested that NATO had given the players free reign over "World Police" nations anyways, and had provided moral and defensive support to Ransakistan. Supporters of this claim pointed out that Ransakistan had attacked and obby bombed the city of Roma, SPQR at around the same time NATO had raided the city during their short war with the nation. Others pointed out how Ransakistan had utilized skybridges over the vast territory of the HJE unimpeded, and that the HJE was to blame for not taking action, or refusing to take action on this.
It soon became clear after the war though that, although direct lines to NATO as a collective whole were slightly blurry, a direct connection between Ransakistan and Corvus existed from the moment the players had joined the server. An ice road existed between Corvus and Ransakistan, many of the Ransakistani fighters were invited to the server by Corvus, and Ransakistani fighters were seen defending Corvus during the Coalition attack on the nation in 2020.
Today some Ransakistani fighters continue to fight for NATO in the Columbian theater of the NATO-Mir war.
