The Three Days War is a conflict between the South East Pacific Coalition Forces and two nations of the Fire Pact, Tripartite State and Asendavia. It occurred in major places on Urth.

Tensions Leading to War

When Tripartite State founded the Fire Pact, nations were concerned that they would be a major obstruction to the spread of democracy. Emberwood Coast decided that they needed to found an organization to oppose the Pact, and founded the South-East Pacific Coalition. Shortly afterwards, the goal was to oppose all threats to democracy. An embargo was quickly enacted, and shortly afterwards, a blockade was set. The tensions came to a head when Tripartite State declared war on the SEPC, and Stratarin declared war on the Fire Pact.

The Southern Front

As the war started in the Gulf of Gondwana on December 11, 2016, Tripartite State started to conduct blockade runs. Some tried to take over a ship by boarding them, but were killed. After a few hours, all blockade runners were destroyed. When peace talks started on December 14, the blockade was no longer enforced.

The Northern Front

On December 12, Asendavia launched a invasion against the Tretridian city of Draeset, not realizing that it wasn't a port city. They were met by every fleet of the Navy that wasn't already on assignment, under the command of Navy Admiral John Vega. He coordinated the movements, and held off the Asendavian Fleet. On December 13, the Atlae Isles to the North, noting the significant security risk, declared war on the Fire Pact, and started preparations to move their fleet south to surround the Asendavian fleet. When peace talks started on December 14, the Asendavian fleet raised a white flag and retreated.

The Orbital Front

After the launch of Myriad Station, the Fire Pact responded with the Eternal Wrath, a weapons rig built to destroy satellites. Tretrid fired an EMP at it, attempting to incapacitate it for an hour. However, for unknown reasons, the systems were knocked out for several weeks, killing everybody aboard except for androids. As revenge, the Statean Defense Minister ordered the weapons to destroy Myriad. The crewmembers of Myriad evacuated seconds before it hit, breaking the station into small but dangerous debris. The debris set off the Kessler Syndrome, damaging or destroying sattelites belonging to the North Gondwanan Union, Vekaiyu, and Pax Draconia.

Peace Talks

On December 14, the Veridian Empire, the head of the NGU, responded to the destruction of satellites by giving people with citizenship in the SEPC or the Fire Pact a choice: be deported or renounce your citizenship to the SEPC or the Fire Pact. It also threatened that if peace talks didn't occur, the NGU would also enforce economic sanctions. They also sent a message to Vekaiyu, which was considering its options, encouraging it to aid peace talks.
