Template:Campaignbox Lijiang-Akannite War
The Campaign of Calagains, also called the Invasion of Calagains (Lijiangese: 入侵擦拉嘎内斯, Rùqīn Cālāgānèisī; Akannite: კალაგინები სამხედრო კამპანია, ⴉⴀⴊⴀⴌⴂⴄⴊⴄⴁⴈ ⴉⴀⴋⴞⴄⴃⴐⴍ კⴀⴋⴎⴀⴌⴈⴀ; K’alaginebi Samkhedro K’amp’ania) was an planet-wide armed conflict on the Akannite planet of Calagains launched by Lijiang. The Campaign was part of the Lijiang-Akannite War. The Campaign began with the entrance of the Hongjiang Fleet as an intimidation tactic before a planetary invasion was launched. The Campaign of Calagains was concieved of and put to action after the failed Campaign of Lesath. The Campaign of Calagains was ended by the destruction of the L.R.A. Huajia during the Battle of Nej Atmos. The Campaign of Calagains was the last large-scale operation the Lijiang undertook during the war.
The Campaign of Calagains began when the Hongjiang Fleet began to engage the Calagainian Planetary Defense Systems, an automated set of defense mechanism that were created and employed by the Vardoni Society. The engagement began the interstellar stage, which ended in the Planetary Defense Systems being destroyed by the Huajia, alongside its sister ship the L.R.A. Shenzhen. Because the Akannites had began the Campaign of Yanshi against the Lijiang, there were no available reinforcments to help in the interstellar stage, allowing the Lijiang to sweep the remainder of any garrison above the planet. After the end of the interstellar stage, the Lijiang began to initiate the land stage and prepare an invading force. Led by the Calagainian Strategic Warfare Council, the Lijiang engaged the Akannite ground forces in covert warfare. Over time, the Lijiang were able to establish a Dark-Energy Translocation Matrix that allowed them to more easily and subversively initiate a ground invasion.
The end of the covert stage was marked by the Battle of Ozuriani. Lijiang launched its first ground invasion against the city of Ozuriani. The assault used the Dark-Energy Translocation Matrices set up on the planet in order to materialize a large force without the use of ground ships. Alongside this, the use of personal Quantam Displacement Devices and several smaller battleships assisting from low orbit allowed the Lijiang to easily overwhelm Ozuriani, leading to the Evacuation of Ozuriani. The overtaking of Ozuriani severely impacted the planetary government as many different departments operated in Ozuriani. The Akannites on Calagains were cut off from the rest of the Confederation, and the planetary government was paralyzed. This lead to the establishment of the Interim Council of Calagains, which was meant to reorganize the government of Calagains as a cooperative federal entity with a focus on the wartime effort. The Lijiang only continued to see success in their ground invasion overtime, overtaking Midrash and forcing the Evacuation of Midrash in order to prevent the collapse of the interim council.
The Campaign took a turning point by the Battle of Skhalti where the leadership of the Interim Council began to work in a cooperative manner and pool their resources together. The use of the 7th Vardoni Holy Beast signalled a turning point as the Akannites, under the leadership of Onkelos Mithridates were able to start a retreat in the Lijiang. Overtime, the Campaign reached a stalemate, as the cooperation and coordination of the interim council led to the Akannites being able to discover and start attacking the sites of Dark-Energy Translocation Matrices.
The end of the war was marked by the Calagainian Reconstruction and the issue of Lijiangese Settlements on Calagains. Issues surrounding the Akannite-Lijiangese diplomatic breakdown only further increased with the dis-establishment of independent Lijiangese Settlements on Calagains and the evolvement of Foreign Rights in the Akannite Confederation.
Background
By 2316, Lijiang had lost control of its forces and command on Lesath after the failed Campaign of Lesath. The catastrophic Siege of Agara resulted in the full retreat of ground forces due to Lijiang losing the majority of its commanders assigned to the campaign in Agara. Following the retreat, the Akannite launched the Campaign of Yanshi. The Campaign saw the Akannite moving deeper into Lijiang territory, and were able to conquer the majority of Yanshi. Supreme Councillor Xi Jianqi saw that the defeats at Yanshi were indicative that the Lijiangese would not be able to recover Yanshi even with reinforcements or an establishment of more supply lines.
On 2317, Lijiang had lost Songjiang and Runhe, the capital and one of the largest cities on Yanshi, respectively. With Akannite forces closing in on Xingcheng,
