SYNOPSIS

Operation Caesar, later famously coined the Centenary Solstice War at its conclusion, was a taxing conflict between the adversaries: the Elite Guardians and the Army of Club Penguin. Tensions quickly escalated when EGCP declared war on the Clovers on the 28th of July, 2024, in reaction to what they considered to be episodes of puzzling issues. Both armies had their fair share of bitter relations in the past. The two armies are nothing short of a formidable force, having participated in numerous tremendous wars, notably World War IX, guarding a seat in the Blue Sunset Alliance, the Summer Survival War, and the Christmas Crusade. They also faced off in Legends Cup XIII, where the Clovers triumphed over the Guardians. These legendary conflicts fueled their hunger for dominance, setting the stage for unforgettable moments that would impact the community.

EGCP vs ACP in Legends Cup XIII

The Elite Guardians appeared to have the upper hand in their conflict with the Clovers, frequently defeating them in the early stages. Despite their early wins, the ACP shed more blood and underwent less strain, demonstrating their incredible strength against the Guardians. On average, the conflict witnessed 3 to 4 battles every day, which caused substantial depletion and fatigue among the troops. As the Elite Guardians were severely weakened, the Clovers grabbed the chance, launching a quick counteroffensive and gradually seizing important regions previously held by the Guardians. Notably, they attacked the famed Defense of Fiesta, a historic territory previously owned by the Nachos, though ultimately losing to EGCP, marking an important watershed in army history.

EGCP appears to be defending its historical land against the Clovers in the Battle of Fiesta.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE WAR

ACP’s co-leader, Roxy, coordinated an invasion on August 29, 2024, at exactly 7:16 AM EST, to conquer EGCP’s highly desired capital, Zero Grau. With EGCP unable to satisfy the necessary criteria, the Clovers struck a devastating blow, sealing the war’s outcome. The final score was 64-1-39, indicating the conclusion of the conflict. Despite the intense fighting, both sides eventually settled their differences and cooperated peacefully within their army.

The 104th battle of the war marked its decisive conclusion.

This war remains the only one in Club Penguin Private Server history to feature over 100 battles ( 104), making it one of the most iconic yet notorious conflicts in army history. Notably, it was also one of the rare instances where the losing army conceded its capital to the opposition. The reverberations continued as the Elite Guardians clashed with the Winged Hussars, who abruptly waged war on them despite being close allies. Notably, Ugly, the most prominent leader at the time in ACP, received the distinguished Silver Medal in ACP. The Elite Guardians would later disband due to severe allegations against an authoritative figure, leaving behind a vision and legacy.
