The Heartland Offensive was the first battle of the Orange Star arm of the Macro Land invasion.
Background
The Heartland Offensive was sparked by the carpet bombing of Vicksburg, a small port town on the west coast of Orange Star. Lazarus commanded the bombing of a relatively unimportant port, solely to catch the attention of the Orange Star leaders, and as such the first of four battles commenced, with the commander-in-chief, Dart, taking command alongside Strangegames.
