YC126.02.19 // ATHOUNON VI
As Taayusaka’s offensive against Bellevigne unfolds, casualties continue to rise, and the conflict takes on a more contentious and devastating character.
The Taayusaka Gwennan-class corporate warbarge, once stationed over Cieléclat’s capital, has been relocated to bolster the invasion force in the west, and multiple warclone soldiers, notorious for their indiscriminate counter-insurgency purges some months ago, have been reportedly deployed alongside CorpSec commando units.
The Federal defense of Bellevigne has faced substantial challenges, with reports indicating that defenders have fallen back to secondary defensive positions after being overrun by the advancing corporate-aligned forces.
Amidst the conflict, reports of the invading forces lacking restraint continue to surface. Multiple outlying towns caught in the crossfires have been devastated by artillery bombardment, prompting concerns about the well-being of civilians trapped in the combat zone. Conflicting reports regarding civilian casualties have been emerging. Qucrain’s military command asserts that all possible measures are being taken to minimize harm to non-combatants. However, Bellevigne continues to decry what they describe as the ‘wholesale slaughter of innocent civilians by Caldari-backed raiders.’
