Battle Of LA
When the Coalition arrived in California, they first secured northern Baja California Former Mexican State. The whole penisylia had still reeling from the events of the Second Crises and with the Mississippi Cooridor secured a year earlier the Coalition was ready to secure and pacify its Western Teratory for the Expansion along the Pacific Cost. The Securing of Baja Califorinia allowed enough of a beachhead for coalition forces.
Tijuana and San Diego ruins were able to be peacefully integrated and many of the people in the surrounding area were welcome to the Carrot of Coalition annexation. The ruins of the once prosperious city of Los Angelius was another matter.
Scattered amongst the Ruined skyscrapers, mansions to the stars, and suburban homes were gangs ranging from plucky neighborhoods that organized themselves to cast off the Bloods and Cripz to members of the Mil Mascaras Syndicate, all actively battling for the city.
Coalition forces began the attack with CORE units and mechanized battalions as backup. Pushing up the ruins of the Interstate 5 into the southern reaches of the Metropolian area before dividing forces to push into Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario and Oxnard–Thousand Oaks–Ventura areas of Greater LA. The Beaches were secured to allow supplies by ocean and support from the Coalition Pacific Fleet, freshly mustered for this conflict especially.
For 27 days, the Coalition fought block by block, either pacifying the area or demolishing it. Unlike the Mississippi River campaigns or the Detroit Annexation, the fighting was brutal and fast-paced leaving little standing when combat was engaged.
When the Smoke Cleared, LA's ghost was exorcized, and leaving was another ruin of the former United States.
The Battle of LA continues to be a sticking point in the questions about the future of Pacifica. Pacifica's creatation is often critized as a rush job to make up for the fact that the Greater Los Angelus was still functional communities with mutliple Cities and areas still active. The Coalition treating the whole area as a slum and the rightful people of the area no better than the US and Mexico during its worst days of expansion against the Native Population nearly a century before.
Others point out that many of the people were living in unsafe and lethal areas, especially for long-term habitation. Those that joined the Coalition willing were welcomed and even payed for their "land" or moved free of charge to better places inside the Coalition. Despite the Coalition rightfully and legal owned the territory and the Inheritor of the USA was with in its legal and power
