History

Estovakian occupation

After the loss of cities such as Gracemeria and San Loma in the early stages of the Emmeria-Estovakia War, the majority of the Anean continent was under Estovakian control.[3][4] As the Estovakian military approached the coast, the Emmerian Air Force's 303rd Airborne Air Control Squadron, which was usually stationed at Ortara, was transferred to Khesed Island.[5] Eventually, Estovakia took control of the city as well.

After the Emmerian forces on Khesed managed to recapture Mount Marcello, plans were immediately devised to retake the mainland.[1]
