Background
On 15-5 2 PC during the Niueyjar Civil War the Niueyjar Royalists led by Vidar Astridson detained a group of Utlian sailors in an attempt to hide the civil war from the outside world triggering the Utlian Sailor Crisis. The leaders of the Akaria-Utlia alliance Harakar Oken and Yyme Braia elected to rescue the sailors through Operation Crab Rescue which successfully extracted the sailors on 20-5 2 PC.
During the course of the operation an Akaria-Utlia alliance ship travelled through a reef off the coast of Niueyjar. Vidar, who considered reefs to be the sacred home of the Cravik threatened to kill the family of whoever was responsible for the incursion. Threats from Astridson continued following the operation. Both Harakar Oken and Yyme Braia decided that in order to keep their nations safe they needed to get Vidar out of power. The Akaria-Utlia alliance began arming the Niueyjar Loyalists on 9-12 2 PC.
