 Najtraunas was not regarded as a very important colony prior to the One Hour War. The colony was largely undeveloped aside from a military fort on Najtraunas Island and a small town; only one Cieurnish soldier had been stationed to guard the colony, and despite the arrival of three more volunteers from Montregan-Rejburhg, the defenders were quickly overwhelmed in the initial half-hour of the invasion.  Najtraunas was not regarded as a very important colony prior to the One Hour War.

-Before the initial attack the Cieurnabradd (the Cieurnish forces) evacuated all the defenders to Fort Najtraunas where they intended to stay out of harm's way and prepare to retake Aurezh, allowing the Melonian Legion to occupy and destroy Arragualh Station bloodlessly. [[officials:josephinemira|Mira]], the at-the-time [[civics:melonia:ministry:state|Minister of State of Melonia]], then ordered the Melonian legion to don their elytra and conduct an aerial invasion of the fort - at which point the casualty toll began to rise.+Before the initial attackthe Cieurnabradd (the Cieurnish forces) evacuated all the defenders to Fort Najtraunas where they intended to stay out of harm's way and prepare to retake Aurezh, allowing the Melonian Legion to occupy and destroy Arragualh Station bloodlessly.

-In this second phase of the invasion, the Melonians were able to simply fly over the fort's walls and kill the poorly supplied colonial troops standing guard inside. After the fort was taken, the governor of Najtraunas was captured and summarily executed; by this point, two thirds of Najtraunas had fallen to Melonian hands with the only minor holdouts remaining in the southern Grajenetz Brutruzh region.+In this second phase of the invasion, the Melonians were able to simply fly over the fort's walls and kill the poorly supplied colonial troops standing guard inside.

 As the fort fell, Tidelocked managed to escape behind Melonian lines. He made haste to the Melonian capital, [[civics:melonia:melonia-city|Melonia City]], where he proceeded to wreak havoc - going so far as to damage several buildings and steal expensive Melonian military gear in an act that Melonian [[civics:melonia:president|President]] [[officials:therandommelon|Michael Webb]] later characterised as "complete badassery". As the fort fell, Tidelocked managed to escape behind Melonian lines.

-Tidelocked's attack proved to be a desperately-needed saving grace for the Najtraunas partisans, and resulted in the Melonian troops withdrawing to defend the city. After the withdrawal, [[officials:bannerman|Bannerman]] convinced [[officials:therandommelon|TheRandomMelon]] and [[officials:tz_scion|tz_scion]] to call him, whereupon he revealed that [[officials:josephinemira|Mira]] had manipulated Melonia into starting the war and successfully negotiated an armistice. Melonia halted their assault once contact was established with Bannerman at 8:47, in a decision which is regarded as the de-facto end of the war.+Tidelocked's attack proved to be a desperately-needed saving grace for the Najtraunas partisans, and resulted in the Melonian troops withdrawing to defend the city.
