The Fedrian First Army marches on Artesja

Military action

On the orders of Queen Naima, Corps I, II, III, and a substantial amount of auxiliaries enter the western Gital mountains through St. Zakaivar's pass, overwhelming local Artesjan forces and beginning an occupational government. The Vehr Western Command and newly-formed 72nd Tundrarians move to stop the Fedrian advance.

In the chaos, Gitalgar falls to the Fedrian onslaught, provincial authorities are overwhelmed as the advancing soldiers are reported firing on emergency vehicles, the city is placed under martial law, and a large fleet of Fedrian docks in the harbor.
