The Arabs, with the ANS Hufuf in orbit, is confident in it's superior army forces and a working anti-missile system, and do not reply.

After a final warning by the Coalition, the first missile complex fires two of it's missiles at the Empire.
In the seconds it took to hit the Empire, the Hufuf was unable to lock on, and the missiles hit, killing 7.8 million people, and destroying much industry. In retaliation, the Hufuf locks on to the missile complex, revealed by the launch, and fires, destroying the complex quickly.
Less than an hour later, the Coalition demands the immediate surrender of all Empire territory and industry to the Coalition, as well as the AMS Hufuf. With no choice but to give in, Coalition forces begin the occupation of Arab territory.
