Alliance War

The Santa Teresa War is a large scale Nerf War taking place in the Santa Teresa Region. The war was a direct result of the First Ranger Legion’s policy of Reconciliation, which saw the intentional decline of the New Elementary Alliance

The War would start on December 30th, starting with the January Campaign by the Elementary Alliance, who would storm the western Capital Province. This would come as a surprise from the Rangers, who originally wanted to invade the EA entirely, just like in the October War. However, the Alliance would push hard into Ranger territory, and occupy the western half of the Capital regions. Only by mid-February would the advance stall, yet the EA were able to make double the gains they had in the October War. The first phase of the war would be known as the January Campaign. Thanks to the legion finally getting its act together, and black operations from the secret Commando Units (Fireteams Dakota and Requiem), the Legion was able to stop the January Campaign, signaling the start of the Spring Offensive, which would spread the war across most of the Frontier and Pacific Arm.

On February 16th, with the EA taking special Ranger Colonies and establishing them as their own, the Ranger Legion would have been nearly cut off from the Frontier Colonies. In order to compete with this, the Rangers enacted Operation Defiance, which the Ranger legion and the EA raced to annex the neutral and completely lawless Glider Province. The Battle of Glider was said by the combatants to be unique as it was “relatively quiet on the battlefield”, with firefights breaking out more frequently than large scale battles. In the end though, the Rangers were able to successfully drive the EA out of the province and focused on using it as a route for the future Operation Wolffish.

During the first two weeks of March, the Santa Teresa Peace Committee was set up as a way to open up peace talks between the FRL and the EA. The First Meeting of the STPC would ultimately fail, as the FRL felt that, because the Moderator was from the EA, the terms of peace would be put against them. Not only that, but both sides made it clear that the war would only end with one side surrendering.

The War would stay in stalemate during the "Spring Offensive". Two battles of Glider would take place, with an insurgency also occurring throughout the war.
