The Auroran-Pacific War (often abbreviated to APW), and sometimes associated with being the Second Auroran Imperial War, although without vindication, is an ongoing armed conflict in Aurora and the Pacific Ocean. It involves the vast majority of Auroran countries as well as members of the SEPCF, eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.

The War Starts

The Greater Xagrurgian Empire illegitimately seized the Xagrurgian government in a bloody conflict during the middle to end of May 2017, but the war is generally said to have begun on the 31st of May when Staynes held an emergency meeting which officially declared an allegiance between Staynes-Caltharus, the Oan Isles, Axdel, Tretrid, Kuthernburg and Stratarin (under the Premier of Viktor Drugov) against the axis. During the emergency meeting and after the pledged allegiance of Stratarin to the allies, Rurik Lukin, the First Deputy Premier of Stratarin and acting First Premier and General Secretary was murdered, leading the next-in-line minister, Mikhail Starikov to assume office until the return of Drugov. Starikov announced he would not surrender his position and revoked his allegiance with the allies.

Meanwhile, Ethalrian operatives shot and killed Thadeus, the crown prince of Staynes. Later investigation suggested that the bullet that killed Thadeus may have been intended for Lambertus VII, the king of Staynes. The assasination rocked the Staynish political landscape and lead to military action on the border between Staynes-Caltharus and Ethalria.

The War in Aurora

After the remaining republican Xagrurgian government fled into The Xagrurgians invaded the islands of Yor, and, after the death of Yor's president, Owen Tubolt, Xagrurg officially annexed Yor, and the already exiled President of the Republican Xagrurgian government-in-exile, Bob Jones, with nowhere to go, went into hiding. When the Republic of Xagrurg was established again, he was airlifted to the new government on the South Island.

The allied forces of the Oans, the Furnifoldians, and the Kutherns invaded the southernmost island of Yor and conquered it, establishing the Southern Yor Republic, with an individual named Votslef as head-of-state. With the SYR on the southern half of the island, the remnants of the Republican Xagrurgian government was given control of the northern half. After using the island as a foothold, they, joined by the Tretridians, invaded the island to the northeast of them, but were met by Xagrurgian forces. Kostromastan was convinced into joining the war by Xagrurg, while Asendavia declared war on the GXE. After some fighting, a ceasefire was established, and the Allies retreated from the island. After a couple of days, the fighting resumed when the Oan Isles flew drones over GXE airspace and attacked civilian and military targets, resulting in GXE forces taking over the SCE DMZ and invasion and overrunning South Yor. PKFU forces from the SCE DMZ however attacked Eidenburgh but led to many GXE forces from nearby military bases attacking the Allied forces. In a skirmish outside of Eidenburgh, most of the GXE's navy was destroyed although the aircraft carriers made it to Cardboard, Biebalrus mostly intact.

The War in Atlantia

Four nations, Kerlington, Charton, Minedestives, and Liber Yorvus declared war on The Atlae Isles, causing Tretrid to declare war on the four nations shortly afterwards. On July 1st, when President Stephen Yang was inaugurated, the forces of the four nations conquered the Atlaesian fort Fort Michaels. The nations then declared their allegiance to the Axis.

On the morning of July 2, 2017, Kerlington, Mindestives, and Charton sent planes to bomb the Allied ships in the port of Fort Mercer. The Allies were able to create a defense, resulting in the Battle of Fort Mercer.
