Operation Entrückung ("Operation Rapture") was the codename for the Allianz offensive against Apelia conducted in the autumn of 1947, during the Great War. The main offensive on the Southern front was led by Tierada and Vonzumier and supported by Camardocia, Lemerum, Aranquia, and Hevatia; a concurrent and complementary offensive on the northern front was led by the Vierz Empire, and supported by Savland and Borland. The initial offensive broke a nine-month-long deadlock on the Western front and drove the Apelian Army into a full rout. The offensive concluded with the end of the Battle of Saint Beaune, which saw the capital of Apelia fall under Allianz control. Apelian President Abel Mallaire resigned shortly after the end of the battle, and his successor Jean-Baptiste Brochard ordered the surrender of the Apelian military.
