:Japanese+Korean forces overextend themselves at Kanon. Much of the slack is taken up by Tensai and other colonies.
:Libertador forces land on Esperanca and Guernica, Guernica falls easily whilst the fightng on Esperanca bogs down with the libs only being pushed off near the end of the war. Libertador forces also attempt to "Liberate" ASEAN planets, possibly engage Valeran forces.

'''Chosen - the Ground Conflict'''
 
 
'''2188'''
 
UNASUR naval forces force a decisive showdown above Choson, committing to a heavy assault of battleships on the main blockade fleet. A second group of smaller ships, waiting for the line to converge, struck a thinned flank, severely damaging several cruisers. The second fleet, rather than pressing the advantage, began to withdraw towards the planet, where DR carriers began to launch dropships. Panicked linesmen split their forces and are forced to withdraw, allowing more dropships to scatter below.
 
DR lands troops, consisting of 30 000 general infantry, 1000 special operations, and 500 super soldiers, breaching through the fleet line and making planet fall at several touch-points, supported by orbital fire from UNASUR vessels. All but two of four thousand drop-ships make planet fall, avoiding planetary fire and establishing proper beachhead in the Suong mountain range.
 
-Ground forces make staggering advances, taking several cities and military bases. Airfields are built for DR and Sao Galva squadrons, which commence brutal bombing runs. Forces press west, supersoldier squads leading general forces and specops raids. DR's air force consists of 300 high-performance recon and multipurpose aerospace craft and nearly as many gunships.
 
-The city of Suenchang is thrown into chaos as the water system shuts down due to DR espionage, crippling industry and weakening the military line. Minotaur squads ambush and cripple the enemy defenders, leaving them to be flanked by general infantry and eventually routed. City surrenders to the PACT forces, and becomes a key supply base for DR’s battle group. Bombing runs on the northern cities leave widespread devastation.
 
-DR forces slowly meet greater and greater resistance, after having securing dozens of provinces and military targets extending west and north of the mountain range.  Secondary landing areas are checked shortly after, leaving two smaller occupied regions in the south.
 
- DR forces manage to take Pseng after weeks of brutal fighting, are forced to consolidate. Virtually all infrastructure is destroyed, and both provincial cities are nearly abandoned in the fighting. Rebel forces continue to harass occupiers. A squad of unaugmented spec-ops, Mongoose Unit, are hailed as the linchpin of the operation, successfully disrupting the city chain of command. Minotaur unit fail to the take the Western canyons, unable to maneuver around the fortress defenses. The attack is called off on Su-lang Canyon after DR suffers sigificant losses. The Battle of Kim begins a long war of attrition.
 
-insurgents in Suenchang and Pseng prove to be nearly impossible to fully root out. Death tolls mount as the bombing runs become a way of life for southern regions. Future cities suffer from insurgencies as they're occupied; conversely, several cities express civil infighting as rumours of DR sympathizers surface. Rumours that Choson forces employ scorched earth policies in hydroponics zones lead to planet-wide disquiet. UNASUR forces maintain blockade despite ZOCU reinforcement attempts, while heavy fighting makes DR's own logistic troublesome.
 
-Operation Apple Core: A secret operation, purported to be an attack by Minotaur supersoldiers on the heart of Suenchang's resistance, is leaked to the resistance. The attack is successfully misdirected; the Minotaurs suffer losses as the cell escapes the city. The insurgency remains. Kim proves brutal for both sides, losses mounting thousands on each side.
 
-DR's momentum picks up as it manages to intercept several supply lines, successfully breaking logistics for a large section of battlegrounds. Disruptions in communications lead to heavy Choson losses. Choson finally loses Kim, DR forces occupying the city - and immediately after, several insurgent cells are outed and arrested. Kim becomes the first captured city to be free of insurgent activity. A bombing run nearby destroys what is believed to be the Choson mobile command center, killing defacto leader General Song Yun. DR forces begin using the name 'Desert-blood' to denote Choson battlefield experience.
 
-sudden, violent fighting breaks out in Suenchang, as dozens of insurgents attempt to flee the city and are pursued by ground forces and air support. They were revealed to have been escaping under false information of another attack - and revealed the presence of dozens of DR spies in the Choson network. Suenchang's insurgency drops almost to nil, and DR secures and begins rebuilding the entire city. Dust-mining begins in earnest as global insurgency drops.;
 
-Fighting remains strong in the canyons, until DR withdraws to consolidate and restore order in their captured city. Choson forces respond with several attacks on DR forces, only to be repelled due to their down dwindling morale. Failed attack allows DR remount offensive, making undeniable progress through Choson territory. Northern cities all fall, leaving the canyons and the holdout cities in the west.
 
-Treaty of Sirius is drafted, and the war ends. ZOCU forces push for Choson to be returned, and PACT forces announce withdrawl. DR military and diplomatic representatives protest, citing the need to stabilize the taken regions; PACT forces wish full withdrawal to facilitate truce. DR representative storms out of negotiations; DR Choson leader Marshall Remington David makes controversial "blood in the sand" speech. Minotaurs and Mongoose Unit openly support the move; pressure is placed on DR to withdraw, threatening dismissal from PACT.

Pacific Arm Basics

We need to get this down in writing, so we can work from there.

Who Fought(Core)

Initially Korea and Japan, with the Colonial nations picking up the slack after Kanon?
UNASUR was mainly focused on fighting the Libertadors.
Tensai was one of the main contenders against ZOCU.
Did Corregidor and Oceania participate?
Possibly refer to the PACT Colonial Military forces as something like PAC-AM, for Pacific Arm Colony-Allied Military?

Who Fought(ZOCU+Allies)

Kanon?
The Libertadors were on the offensive for much of the early stages of the war?
SIYAN supported ZOCU operations
ZOCU landings on Theia(?), Libertador landings on Van Lang to support Separatists(?)

Where did shit go down?

Main theaters in the early war were Kanon (ZCM Versus Japan and Korea?) and on UNASUR Worlds (Guevara+Other Libs fighting stationed UNASUR forces?)
Japanese+Korean forces overextend themselves at Kanon. Much of the slack is taken up by Tensai and other colonies.
Libertador forces land on Esperanca and Guernica, Guernica falls easily whilst the fightng on Esperanca bogs down with the libs only being pushed off near the end of the war. Libertador forces also attempt to "Liberate" ASEAN planets, possibly engage Valeran forces.
Small Scale naval engagements with PACT forces attempting to prevent the trade of technology and weapons between ZOCU-SIYAN and the Libertadors.

=Major Battles & Campaigns

Battle of Kanon & the Kanonese Campaign: Same as it was before, just with less Americans.
Battle of Tensai? ZCM+SIYAN forces attempt to destroy Tensai's(Possibly other colonial's) fleet to force the Core to negotiate. Becomes an early victory for PACT forces, partly because of the deployment of Combat Frames among colonial (Tensai,Oceania, Esperancan, Corregidoran?) forces in earlier years prevents PACAM leaders from underestimating ZOCU aerospace.
