Operation Valiant was an international intervention against Mesogeia at the behest of Elena II to stop the genocide of the Tauri people on X Island. Started initially by Velikoslavia, it eventually came to involve over X nations who occupied the island from July 14, 1998 to March 4, 2002. The coalition oversaw the cessation of hostilities against the Tauri people and provided significant aid to the island's population up until the Levograd Conference in Levograd, Velikoslavia in 2002 where the islands were officially returned to the full governance of Mesogeia.

Deployment of the Coalition

Initial Landing

Operations against the Mesogeian forces were discussed secretly a week prior to the invasion in XXXX, Ludvosiya three days after the five nations of the Valiant Coalition agreed to its formation four days prior. It was decided that nearby nations such as Velikoslavia and Ludvosiya would provide the bulk of the ground forces in order to cut down expense from other coalition states would incur shipping in ground forces. Other members would provide air power and naval vessels with a small number of ground troops from each. It was decided that after the initial occupation, coalition states would commission an international force and a unified command structure local to the island and every participating nation would provide a portion of occupation forces, which would be switched out in 4 month stages.

As of July 2, coalition forces had been rapidly assembled in Vitesk, Velikoslavia where they gained seceret permission from the Volskan government to pass through its waters and approach the island from the northeast. In the early morning hours of July 12, the coalition ships set sail, taking slow approach to the islands. By 2200 on July 13, coalition forces were nearing aircraft range of the island. Fifteen Velikoslavian Gu-24BAR aircraft had taken off from Velinov Air Force Base in southern Velikoslavia to strike in a coordinated attack with coalition forces. At 0800 on July 14 in a coordinated attack, coalition Aigios Ifrit aircraft launched off of the Latin aircraft carrier xxxx and multiple Ludvosiyan and Velikoslavian aircraft launched coordinated attacks on Mesogeian military facilities on the island and the mainland nearby, nearly simultaneously striking all local airfields, radar monitoring stations, and several military bases with long range attacks from loitering cruise missiles. Coalition naval ships joined in as well, striking sites with additional missile strikes.

Coalition Assault on ISLAND

Coalition forces quickly gained air superiority and by 1900 on July 14, coalition LHD vessels had deployed several formations on ths island, including elements of the Veliko 15th Shock Regiment along with elements of the Ludvosiyan 7th Republican Guard Brigade. Though caught by surprise, formations of the 2nd Cataphract Regiment responded ferociously under orders of That guy meso mentioned a few times.

Scattered fighting was fierce on the island initially with Mesogeian forces pushed back to CITY by 1600 on July 15, having held coalition forces until the arrival of the remainder of Velikoslavian forces with a surprise flank assault by the newly landed 7th Shock Tank Company forced a Mesogeian retreat. The Ludvosiyan 65th Armored Company reached the outskirts of CITY by 2100 on July 14 and heavy fighting continued in the suburbs of CITY and coalition forces were approaching the city proper until 0200 on July 16, when a general halt to hostilities was called.

Cessation of Hostilities

Mesogeian Empress Elena II had been appraised of the situation and quickly called for a halt to hostilities with the coalition. Both parties were quick to negotiate at an emergency conference held in Levograd, Velikoslavia known as the Levograd Conference of 1998, where Mesogeia ceased activities against the local Tauri people and the island was temporary put under occupation of coalition forces for a period of four years. It was stated after the conference that the fighting between Mesogeian and coalition forces had been a mistake as Alexandropolis had supposedly been mostly unaware of the events occuring on the island and orders had been issued by a subordinate nobleman, rather than Mesogeian military command. Elena was quick to cooperate with coalition forces and agree to fully cooperate and assist coalition forces on ISLAND.
