The Akstarian counteroffensive fails as local loyalists made the terrain miserable for fast advances, forcing the communists on the roads and hit with constant harassment. The army's goal was mainly to weaken the main groups with Guerilla tactics before going for an encirclement prepared by local police and Special Forces Units. This was all successful and allowed for the destruction of major brigades and one army corp. Now after days of evacuations, coalition forces were given the go ahead to steamroll through enemy lands with full CAS and armored support.
TORI has now been used in combat rooms and helped with reorganization and new plans, making decent progress. New allies have chose to join in and are fighting under the SKBD coalition banner, helping the push back. In the meantime, the loyalist police start to look for a replacement leader. And a naval patrol fleet has been deployed to keep the accelerationists in check.
