We will fight against the dying of the light.
We've seen war. We've seen pain.
We've taken those hits, but by God we're tired of not giving them back.
By God, we will take back our home. With or without support, we will fight to the last drop of blood.
In 2024, as Nijikan Self-Defence Force units pushed further into Hashara, militants focused bombing targets on civilian and government infrastructure, with full knowledge they would be unable to go against the might of the NSDF and Jacksonian Defence Force.

Hasharan militants and the Free State of Hashara would fall in 2025, weeks after the Jacksonian Defence Forces pulled out of the Nijikan Peninsula.
