No war by any nation in any age has ever been declared by the people.

Laurentia had spent the past months bringing its reserves into active-duty and establishing strong defense garrisons. The Laurentians had expanded the strength of the station on Sardinia, and their fleets began a close perimeter clock-defense of the Penninsula. Laurentia's Air Force on September 1st launched the opening strikes on Lumia. Targetting their Short-Range Radar on the border and installations to clear a path for the Airborne Assualt on Lumian Forces at the border. Laurentian F-18 Growlers from Japan would launch sorties and patrol airspace to eliminate Lumian Electronic Systems while the F-17s would destroy them. 

 

In Gibraltar, the Laurentians imposed and air and land blockade, after months of travel between Gibraltar and the Mainland; the Laurentian Navy began its selective bombing of Gibraltar as a battalion of Laurentia's Special Forces and Airborne Units from Maroc and Laurentia dropped onto Gibraltar to encircle whatever defenders were on the Exclave as Laurentian Ground Units and Marines drove in from the North and from the South.

 

Laurentia's Generals in the meanwhile activated the Nations Strategic Air Defense Alert and Detection Warning Array armed with sophisticated technology to monitor air threats and allocate resources to the National Air Defense and destroy the missiles, aircraft, and other aerial threats.
