The '''Great Australian War''', also known as the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war, was a global conflict involving over 50 in-game nations, fought primarily in Australia | The '''Great Australian War''', also known as the 4th Pilbaro-Australian war, was a global conflict involving over 50 in-game nations, fought primarily in Australia. It has been said to be the largest war in Aurora history. On one side of the war was Australia, including a few of its allies. On the other was a coalition formed between NA (NA stands for "North Australia"), Pilbara and their constituent sub-nations. The coalition was backed by the OFN which joined the war after invoking their mutual defence clause on the 13th of October, as Pilbara and NA were part of the military alliance. | ||

On October 20, 2024, the then-mayor/holder of the Australian town of Sunshine_Coast, HeyHeyHeyHeyHey, 42 day'd. When Pilbara discovered this, they decided to make a town on the now-unclaimed land. For this, they had Onslow Bay resident Wolftree47 create the town, naming it initially to Sunshine_Coast, identical to the old town name, however then renaming to Freepanthr. Pilbara then gathered a bunch of TNT, where they used the TNT to demolish the infrastructure built up on the land. After this, statues were made of Panth_r, GabeTheSavior, Wolftree47, and kobiKraft. | On October 20, 2024, the then-mayor/holder of the Australian town of Sunshine_Coast, HeyHeyHeyHeyHey, 42 day'd.

===New Caledonia Overclaim & Bombing=== | ===New Caledonia Overclaim & Bombing=== | ||
In April, the Pilbaran town New Caledonia was overclaimed by the town Malabou (Not under Australia in-game, likely due to range limitations, but owned and used by Australians, with government affiliation) owned by Patty_Squad, resulting in a splitting of claims, looting, and bombing of the town's kobiKraft statue. The aforementioned splitting of claims was later found to be illegal, leading to the reversal of the overclaim and bombing, as well as the restoral of some loot. | In April, the Pilbaran town New Caledonia was overclaimed by the town Malabou (Not under Australia in-game, likely due to range limitations, but owned and used by Australians, with government affiliation) owned by Patty_Squad, resulting in a splitting of claims, looting, and bombing of the town's kobiKraft statue.

===CooberPedy Bombing / 2nd Invasion=== | |||
On June 12th, Pilbara bombed CooberPedy for a second time, following a large overclaim campaign that resulted in the annexation of the nation’s shop and consequently its looting. Over 20 spectators witnessed the explosion, with the town accessible globally through open teleportation, allowing anyone to teleport there. The explosion was synchronised with the beat drop of Xenogenesis by TheFatRat, which was playing in the public Pilbara Discord voice channel. Pilbara regarded the bombing as strongly symbolic of their victory, connecting it to an earlier victory declaration on May 3rd. However, on the 28th of August, the bombing was reversed following Pilbara's [[Aurora:Pilbara#Government Collapse / South-East Rebellion / PLP Exodus|PLP Exodus]] which resulted in the loss of significant territory, including the overclaim town on CooberPedy. | |||
