Operation Aglaia

Operation Aglaia, commenced on 10.I.1748 AN, was a deployment of allied forces to Corum under the auspices of the Trans-Euran Command, in response to the recent outbreak of hostilities between Floria and groups aligned with the Confederacy of the Dispossessed.

In the initial preparatory stages, the Trans-Euran Command requested of contributing powers within the continental theatre of operations the mobilisation of elements of the Constancian Foreign Legion, ESB Corps, and Oportian Foreign Legion.

The Regional Inspectorate of Corum was reactivated with the directive to ensure that base facilities on the Île des Ombres, Naya Island, and in cantonments outside Corum Electric City, were in a suitable condition to receive forward deployed personnel and equipment. Oportian defence infrastructure on the Île des Ombres in particular still bore the scars inflicted during the Fourth Euran War and would require significant work to repair, upgrade, and expand.

As planning progressed, a slight hiccup occurred with regards to the forward deployment of allied forces to Corum Electric City, as it was remembered that East Zimia and the Wallis Islands, whilst a subject realm of the Mondosphere, remained technically outside the Raspur Pact. Whilst the possibility of proceeding regardless was briefly countenanced, it was, at length, considered more prudent to dispatch emissaries to consult with Mondo ahead of any action, with the hope of securing permission for the deployment of forces as a minimum, and ideally to obtain a full measure of cooperation. Fortunately for all concerned, the response to the various entreaties was a jolly one.
