The Battle of Grayana, also known as the Grayana Incident, was the first major combat operation in the Second War in Vulkaria against the Malvarian Liberation Front insurgency and Coalition forces. On September 30th, 2000, three TAH-60A Vultures were shot down in the town of Grayana, about 10 miles east of Amstelveen during a raid to capture a high profile insurgent commander, Van'a Kamoni. The ensuing rescue mission and battle resulted in 23 Zamastanian, 6 Quetanan, and 2 Haduastan soldiers being killed. There were between 315 and 2,000 insurgent casualties.
Coalition troops were forced to withdrawal after rescuing their stranded and wounded comrades, and the battle of Granaya was considered a loss. In the aftermath of the battle, a dead Quetanan soldier was dragged through the streets of Granaya, which was shown on international television—to public outcry. The battle thusly served to shift public opinion of the war in a negative direction, especially when it led to President Abram Mullen devoting an additional 50,000 troops to the conflict.
