||The Offensive to victory|| The Eskaijiani Commonwealth is on the brink of collapse. Eskaijian's generals had turned against it, nationalist movements had resurged, the communists have returned to the motherland and the anarchists have come to power. The Eskaijiani Government under Ijitka Osoweic is determined to keep it's promise to Starcon for as long as possible. The Eskaijianis made a daring offensive, hoping it would force the AU to negotiate. The ERAF began the Antarisan Offensive, a large scale offensive utilizing ALL it's manpower into mass charges as a large, last ditch effort to give Starcon as much land back as possible. The Offensive aimed to capture Java, the archipelagos near Sumatra island and Ceantara. The Eskaijianis forced a mass charge into hyperventilated and highly moralized ERAF soldiers who charged into the city of Betelga with a forced mass charge, Starrian fighters and bombers to strafe and bomb and masses of tanks. The battle of Betelga was swift as majority of it's forces we on the coastline or focused on Stellaris. The battle was still extremely costly for the ERAF who lost 120,000 troops already to the battle for Betelga as heavy close-quarters fighter began to emmerge. The ERAF then made a large amphibious invasion for Ceantara where it was met with heavy resistance. The ERAF by this point, lost significant morale from the confused orders by newer and incompetant ERAF generals who were replacing older and experienced generals who refused orders from Ijitka. The city of Ceantara was captured after 5 days of fighting, way behind scheduled time but over 230,000 men had died in the mass charge. By this point, the ERAF had lost a significant amount of manpower in Borneo and were struggling to hold the line from IA counter attacks in the island. The ERAF began one final attack on Sri Lanka. The capital of Starcon, Stellaris was to be protected by a counter attack to the coast to drive out the AU and IA invaders. The ERAF began landings, wishing to have the invasion force fully removed. That wasn't the case. A typhoon off Java has swept the landing craft way off target and they were swept east and attacked Java, a much more fortified position other than the rushed AU bulge near Stellaris. The last of the ERAF remains are some 50 landing craft which wash up on Sri Lanka and attack the AU head on. The AU, caught off guard by the sudden attack were pushed back considerably before they were stopped dead by an armored garrison. The ERAF have lost an additional 90,000 troops in the landings and the offensive had gained much of Starcon back. However, the ERAF was malnourished, under supplied, low on ammo and had lost full desire to fight when supplies had cut from the mainland due to political shifts in Eskaijian. Ijitka is displeased with such high casualties but ordered one more offensive... The Eskaijiani Commonwealth asks for the AU and Atlanteans to come to the table to negotiate.
