NRI - Mythoclast War

The NRI - Mythoclast War was a HCC conflict waged by Remnant and the United Nordic Reich against the National Reikist Imperium in response to the NRI's invasion and attempted planned destruction of UNR arising from claims of being Ortarian sympathizers with Clan Orta.

Escalation and mobilization
Tensions between the United Nordic Reich and NRI would escalate following a surprise raid on a practice raid between Clan Orta and the UNR. This would at the time mark the longest raid on Halo 5, lasting at a total of 19 and a half hours and ending with a NRI defeat.

Following this, the NRI would release a state of affairs document declaring war against the UNR and Remnant Operations, who at the time had signed a Defense Pact with the UNR. This would result in the mobilization of the Combine military with the goal of the subjugation or destruction of the NRI.

Operation: Mythoclast
During the month of December, the Greater Terran Union, the Carpathian Empire, and Odyssey would declare war on the UNR on behalf of the NRI. Realizing the proxy tactic at hand, Operation: Mythoclast was formed in response, with the NRI being the main target.

Operation Mythoclast would be composed of Remnant, United Nordic Reich, Joint Force Clan Alliance, and Leviathan. However, following the Odyssey - Mythoclast war, upon Odyssey's departure from the NRI - Mythoclast war through the white agreement, JFCA and Leviathan would depart as well, allowing for the war to be more focused.

On January 9th, the first war raid would be fought between Remnant/UNR versus NRI, ending with a joint UNR and Remnant victory and thus beginning the invasion of Helghast territory.

Invasion
On 1/13/21, the Combine would begin its invasion on the Helghast territory, beginning with the facility of 42-19: J18. The NRI would quickly lose the facility and desperately attempt to retake it, but to no avail. Following the engagement, the Combine sterilized all survivors and would establish a growing foothold on the NRI's territory.

Throughout the month of February, the NRI would find itself suffering repeated losses, finding only consistent success with its armored divisions. However, Remnant would otherwise dominate infantry engagements and continue to seize NRI facilities at an alarming rate. To counter this, Visari would begin to look outside his organization in hopes of driving the Combine away.

The March Offensive
Having recruited several of the top players from Valor, which at the time was stationed on Halo: Reach, the NRI would attempt to leverage these players against Remnant in hopes of driving Remnant from the war. The Combine instead rejected any offers of a mutual white peace with the NRI, and as a result, the Valor players were deployed.

Following a successful defense on a troll map, the NRI would employ these players to take Remnant territory on behalf of the NRI. Throughout the month of March, the Combine and UNR had sustained consistent losses. The Halcyons would claim these victories as their own, however temporary they were. Visari, upon realizing the departure of the Valor players, would contact Remnant in hopes of pursuing a white peace with Remnant.

However, the Combine answered with military action instead.

April Sterilization
In the month of April, the Combine would begin aggressively retaking its lost facilities, which Visari had attempted to use as leverage against Remnant. Following the defense of Antioch, the facilities of B-052, G-154, and A-261 were rapidly secured by the Combine, with UNR assistance present for A-261. Survivors were once again executed, with the NRI cruiser over the facility of G-154 crashed and serving as gravemark to the Halcyons.

The Halcyons would retreat back into their territory, with the Combine in pursuit.

Twilight of the NRI
Following the Halcyons having been expunged from Remnant territory, and the boost in Remnant's manpower through the joining of Odyssey players, the NRI would find itself losing more facilities. Remnant during the war would attempt to organize mutual ROE talks to adjust as well as address the issues with the war ROE, however Remnant found itself ignored with Visari even skipping on an agreed upon meeting.

Following the final raid of the war, Visari would completely cease any communications with Remnant. His true intentions were revealed later, as the NRI released a document claiming the war void due to a typo in the ROE, as well as attempting to open a new front with GCE.

Remnant would claim a war victory on the date of May 20th 2021, due to the RoE specifying that any listed party who did not attend events for two weeks would forfeit the war, as well Mythoclast having won the majority of the engagements.

However, Visari's actions carried consequences for the morale of the Reikist Corps. The Reikist Corps, having felt betrayed by their leadership, would initiate a rebellion from within. The reasoning behind the rebellion was due to the leadership's actions during the war, and the Neo-Nazism extremism within the higher echelons of the NRI, including alleged connections to an actual terrorist organization, Atomwaffen Division. As a result, the Reikist Corps released a document supporting a Remnant victory, as well as declaring a rebellion.

On 6/14/21, the battle of Firebase Visari would begin, lasting at a total of over 23 hours and resulting in a joint Helghan Liberation Army/Galactic Empire Remnants/ and Remnant victory. Following this engagement, the NRI disbanded as a Halo 5 organization and instead fled to MCC, only for the few Halcyons remaining to give up.
