With the Aarlandic forces focused on evacuating their citizens, the IAF would make huge gains in the battlefield, capturing large swaths of solar systems, habitable planets, and enemy ships who were unable to escape. We would open up a new front up in the north, where the citizens are headed to, with the goal of entrapping them in their own nation to make sure they get to experience the fall of their nation. The Kaiser has exlaimed that the fall of Aarland would balance out the German defeat at York, with him stating in his speech the day after, "The Aarlandic people suffering under communism shall be freed under our great leadership! They shall never be suppressed, and they shall finally get the rights that were taken away at birth! Aarland shall be free!"
