The western tip of Alaska's frozen wastes and adjacent islands fell without warning to a swift and brutal invasion by sea and air. The Siren forces used their air power to destroy all radar towers, sites, and even mobile ones. Their next targets were airstrips and bridges, causing confusion and dissension among the scattered regiments of the US Army and non-mobilized Nation Guards.

Next in the plan were artillery barrages, destroying bunkers, foxholes, and other defensive structures, withering away the defenses bit by bit. The laser fire ensured that there would be no survivors to inform the higher-ups of the impending naval invasion.

Conversely, the Sirens deployed their experimental ground forces, the first of their kind. Previously, the Sirens had never intended to research or even deploy such units, but this world, including the two former anomalies now embedded in the statistics, has caused the Arbiters to reconsider long-term strategy.

Due to the strong partnerships and alliances that made the long wars between each other useless, the Sirens had to find another way to get data and other statistical observations. On all other worlds, humans have been fighting each other since 1939. Sometimes in small skirmishes, or in immediate world war scale battles on all continents where the major powers are located.

With the establishment of the Weimar Republic and its recovery from any long-lasting consequences, the supposed right-wing dictatorial and warmongering state of Ironblood didn't happen. The attempt to create it by violating its own "non-direct intervention" policy* had failed utterly, though it did give birth to ground-based data collection.

The Sirens decided to use a weaker base for their Explorers, making them non-binary (we all know what would happen if they weren't) and a standardized weaponry that would allow them to efficiently neutralize soft targets (infantry) and hard targets (armor like tanks). With the ever-changing terrain and temperatures, it was decided that a tracked armored vehicle would be too inefficient and too linear in combat, so spider-like vehicles were created.

With the speed of the Siren Infantry modified to keep up with such large monstrosities, the need for an infantry transport vehicle wasn't exactly necessary, and any such plans were shelved. Logistics were also marked as a secondary priority due to the ability to essentially teleport anywhere. With a small modification to the wormhole beacons, it was now possible to teleport on land without teleporting into the ground and accidentally disrupting the matrix.

Back to the current situation, the Sirens have orchestrated a major invasion of both Russian-held territory and American lands. While the naval invasion of Vladivostok has since failed, it was within the expected parameters that the Sakuran Imperial Navy would intervene directly, as the clause of immediate defensive strategies initiated by the Sakuran High Command and the Economic Alliance is a defensive guarantee in disguise.

However, the invasion of Kamchakta and the northeastern Siberian lands was successful, and a stronghold was established. This invasion force mostly initiated skirmishes with reconnaissance units, but their actual vanguard force, which leads the front before the actual main force, may arrive sooner than originally thought. Due to the failure of the destruction of the Trans-Siberian Railway by the Pro-Siren Insurrectionists, and the failure to sow discord between the Northern Parliament and the Sakura Empire (due to the economic alliance and other factors), the logistics of transporting multiple divisions of infantry, mechanized and motorized, and then tanks and SPGs and rocket artillery, will end in a huge, inevitable confrontation.
