Lead-Up
During 2010, a number of events between Ibonn and it's southern neighbor, The Dread Empire, and the small nation of Roxas to the west had come to the breaking point after the FEB-Thessaly war.
Imperial Motivations
DIASO mission to plant nuclear evidence on an Ibonnese freighter.
During May 2010, a number of DIASO(Dread Imperial Army Special Operations) missions were underway around Ibonn and Roxas with the pretext of planting evidence so TDE could declare war on Ibonn and occupy it. While most of these were small and only involved fake military plans and whatnot, a mission conducted by the Black Berets sucsesfully planted a small nuclear warhead on an Ibonnese freighter and this was enough for TDE to begin sanctions and manipulating FEB to go to war. The second most important was the killing of the Roxonian Minister of Defense which was carried out by the Black Berets yet again.

Invasion Of Roxas
Fighting within the city.
On June 9'th, Ibonn invaded Roxas and this began the Dread-Ibonn war. An Ibonnese army rolled towards Skyscraper City with plans to knock Roxas out of the war. This action was countered by the 9'th Imperial Army who fought a tactical retreat to the city where the Roxonian army had re-grouped. By the time the Ibonnese had arrived, Skyscraper City was turned into a rushed fortress and with the combined might of the majority of the Roxonian army and atleast 15 DIA divisions, the Ibonns were quickly crushed and surronded. Much to Keepers dismay instead of attempting a breakout most surrenderd. The aftermath of the Roxas campaign was crippling for Roxas and Ibonn, though atleast 20 Ibonnese divisons were still within Roxas, many had to be pulled back due to a DIA offensive in the southwhich was threatining to reach Imperial Village, capital of Ibonn.

The DIA counterattack was stalled when the second Skyscraper City offensive came, the DIA was forced to withdraw 3 divisons from the southern front and move them west which caused the offensive to grind to a halt.
