STAR Retakes Ullaanbaator, Tokyo Falls!
S TAR Retakes Ullaanbaator, Tokyo Falls! As Gladius Elite Troops took Ullaanbaator, the capitol of Mongolia and the areas center of command, they tried to push in from both Omsk and Japan in order to secure the remainder of the country. However, Starfisher Coffee chain of command continued to operate in the region, holding back the GLD units trying to breach the walls of nearby Khovd with heavy artillery fire.

S TAR units rushed to retake Ullaanbaator, as GLD had captured an operating HQ. STAR officeres managed to destroy some of the information as GLD moved in, but many documents regarding secret operatives, the personal information of officers, and top secret battle plans were secured. Taking advantage of the distraction, other STAR units nearby travelled south, attempting to raid a nearby oil field. As they reached their target, however, they were ambushed by GLD forces. Despite the surprise and taking heavy losses, STAR troops managed to repel the attack, mainly thanks to fact they had more tanks and other armored vehicles then GLD forces. Due to the nationality and gear of the troops present at the battle, STAR HQ concluded GLD must have moved its reserves out of Japan to help at Mongolia, therefore leaving the territory only lightly defended. Generalissimus StarfisherEcho ordered units from china in attack the Japanese city of Tokyo.

T he fighting on the Japanese shoreline was harsh; it's estimated that just on the fight near Chaoyang more then three thousand soldiers from both sides perished. Eventually, STAR's tank corps under TacticalVirus broke through the front line defenses, allowing the rest of the army to race to the city, while himself and several mechanized infantry divisions moved west to support the effort on Mongolia. Realizing Japan had fallen and thousands of SCI troops are on the way to Ulan Bator, GLD decided to retreat, taking as much sensitive documents and records from SCI HQ as they could. They again used roads that do not appear on formal maps to get back to the border, and together with the forces pushing from OMSK were able to crush their way through back to OMSK. As a result GLD had a breakthrough and started to move units in, but found themselves in a huge disadvantage to SCI forces coming from the north and east and were forced to retreat.

STAR Attack on Siberia Fails!
H aving amassed more MBT's and APC's then GLD has on Siberia, STAR had launched a strike force from Yakutsk on Siberia, but problems started catching up to Starfisher Coffee Initiative even before they reached the border. Due to the deep snow, some tanks couldn't go any further, and had to be abandoned. Others had their tracks broken by shell fragments and jagged rocks. Field reporters tell us that even those that made it had very low maneuverability and other problems, including electrical problems that forced the crews to use the backup mechanical systems, operated by hand, which caused the tanks a loss of response time. As the crippled army approached the GLD defence line, GLD Mobile Artillery opened fire. After just two hours, it is said STAR lost about 45% of their vehicles, although the few survivors that participated in the attack claim that they lost more then 75% vehicles, and hundreds of soldiers. Soldiers from GLD side describe the SCI retreat as "mad, unorganized running trying to avoid the rain of bullets, artillery and mortar shells falling everywhere".

Star connection to rebels revealed!
G LD has also announced that in the documents captured in Ullaanbaator last week, there's evidence that the people responsible for creating and organizing the terror group in Austin Texas are STAR agents, which are also responsible to the booby-trapped car that exploded two months ago outside of the municipality killing three GLD officers, and are calling all Austin citizens to help them fight these traitors by staying at home, depose of any weapons, and away of the terrorists. People from inside the sieged city report GLD helicopters make strafe runs above the city, and UAVs are firing on vehicles supposedly driven by members of the resistance.
