Beginning of the Operation
The operation started by opening the Sord Keish 193, as known as Sord VRGE1447 by the United Mankind. It is supposed to be a faint attack to distract the attention of the Star Forces as to cover the next stage and keep the Star Force busy and divided. Soon upon emerging in the Ilysr Kingdom the Peace Preservation Force was discovered by the Goslauth. In the ensuring Battle of Goslauth the first shot of the war was made. This incident was used as a pretext to invade the Ilysr Kingdom as an act of self-defense.

Aftermath
