The overthrow of the Velaherian Regime was a significant military and political event that took place from late 2023 to early 2024, culminating in the removal of Velaheria's long-standing authoritarian Starinburg regime. The conflict involved the forces of the Lily Revolution, which sought democratic reforms and greater freedoms, against the entrenched Velaherian government forces loyal to Supreme Leader Ander Von Starinburg and General Secretary Fredrick Staffenburg. Notably, the revolution received covert support from the Imperial Orinese Defence Force, with the Orinese Special Reconnaissance Units playing a crucial role in strategic operations.
The uprising was sparked by widespread dissatisfaction with the Velaherian regime's oppressive policies, economic mismanagement, and violation of human rights. The movement was led by Chelovek Budushchego, a figure who rose to prominence as the voice of the revolution. The situation escalated into an armed conflict when revolutionaries, supported by Orioni, began to seize control of key locations, including the capital, Bastaria.
The conflict saw the deployment of the Velaherian People's Army in an attempt to quell the uprising, leading to several confrontations. However, the strategic planning and external support for the Lily Revolution forces eventually led to the capture of critical government installations and the downfall of the regime.
The overthrow resulted in the establishment of a provisional government aimed at transitioning Velaheria towards democracy and rebuilding the nation. The event has had profound implications for Velaheria's political landscape and its relations with the international community, marking a new chapter in the nation's history. In July 2024, following an escalation of tensions between Stedoria and the new government in Velaheria, Stedoria launched an invasion of western Velaheria.

Orinese ambassador to Stedoria, Tinadem Hakim ina Belai, was expelled from the country and diplomatic relations were severed.[2] In July of 2024, the Stedorian government began to make unsubstantiated claims that a genocide was occurring in the western Velaherian provinces of Elbenau and Veldoria against former Velaherian People's Party members and ethnic Stedorians. On 16 July 2024, the Stedorian government would launch an invasion of the two provinces.
