* '''E7-450:''' Satoshi Sangi is elected mayor of [[Yurai]] with 77% of the votes, on a campaign promising the unification and strengthening of the youkai people and communities. He gains the nickname of ''"Black-Eye"'', after the color of his third eye.
* '''E7-454, Prima 1: Birth of the Youkai Nation:''' During the New Year celebrations, [[Satoshi Sangi|Satoshi "Black-Eye" Sangi]] declared in a televised announcement, the entirety of the towns with a majority youkai population, as well as all Intersections and roads in between, to be part of a new, separate country known as the [[Youkai Nation]]. The territory encompasses the totality of the Northeastern Zone, plus the towns of [[Aosaidan]] and [[Masatomo]].
** The stated purpose of the Youkai Nation is to be a self-sufficient, safe and prospering country made by youkai, for youkai, with no interference from human-dominated factions and interests, and with its own [[activist fighter|defense force]]. Sangi then extended an invitation to all youkai in the Mazes to join the Youkai Nation and help build what he referred to as "our country". The announcement ended with a warning not to challenge the independence and legitimacy of the Youkai Nation; any such acts would be treated as an act of war.
** The [[Maze Military]] and the [[Maze Police]] condemned the announcement, refusing to recognize the Nation as legitimate and seeing it as an unsafe, subversive decision that will only make the world unsafe and prevent them from doing their jobs in the Northeastern Zone.
* '''E7-454, Prima 7:''' The Task Force "Mind's Eye Task Force " is established. It is composed of Sangi, his three trusted lieutenants (Haraguchi, Tawara, and Hirota), and a small team of highly-skilled youkai activists.
* '''E7-454, Hexema 1:''' In response to the announcement, the Military mobilizes all of its forces and enters a state of high alert, preparing themselves for war. Colonel Mark Phasma, the leader of the Military at the time, treated the announcement as a declaration of war, and intends to strike the Youkai Nation's capital, [[Yurai]], in what he described as a "surgical strike intended to demoralize the enemy activists". This plan is dubbed ''Operation Needle Poke''.
* '''E7-455, Prima 16: Operation Needle Poke:''' The First Company, led by Captain Francis Donahue, moves out towards Yurai to invade the town and demand the unconditional surrender and disarmament of the Youkai Nation's armed forces.
** E7-504 ; E7-531: Colonel Morgan Phasma
* <span style="color:#009900">'''E7-492:'''</span> [[Ovis City]] is founded.
* <span style="color:#990000">'''E7-531, Nonama 21: Operation Red Temple:'''</span> The Youkai Nation's elite group, the Task Force "Mind's Eye Cell", plans Operation Red Temple, intending to assassinate Morgan Phasma and his son Gerald (then a Captain, leader of the Fourth Company), to break up the dynasty and force changes within the Military's leadership. With the aid of human mercenaries providing intelligence to the cell, the activists split into two teams, one for each target, the intended plan was for each team to assassinate their targets at the same time.
** Captain Gerald Phasma was assassinated in Ovis City, inside of the convenience store. His body was found alongside that of the shop manager, both of which were shot in the head with a powerful, suppressed firearm. The perpetrators were a male kappa and a female oni. They were later revealed to be respectively [[Daiki Haraguchi]] and [[Sayu Tawara]], members of the Mind's Eye cell, and two of Satoshi Sangi's trusted lieutenants.
** Colonel Morgan Phasma was lured out of Fort Cutlass and into Neo Khazrun through a telephone scam. Once the Colonel was at the intended location, the plan was to assassinate him and use the crowd to escape before being noticed. However, the activist fighters were spotted by the Colonel's security detail, and the assassination plot turned into a very brief gun battle in the middle of the town's social square center. The Colonel sustained eight gunshot wounds, and the panic caused the Town Security to open fire on both the youkai assassins (which later turned out to be Satoshi Sangi himself, alongside his third trusted lieutenant, female kitsune [[Yuriko Hirota]].) Although the Town Security officers failed to hit the Colonel, the brief confusion allowed the youkai activists to flee, and the Colonel to bleed out and die of his wounds.
