Major Military Engagements

-The Nerotikan Conflict-

In the nation of Nerotika, the government had taken a Boeing 747 and its crew and passengers hostage. Part of the passenger list were several Camewottian citizens, and negotiations began between the two countries to release the unfortunate passengers from the nations grip. However, negotiations swiftly broke down when it became clear that the Nerotikan government had no intention of releasing the passengers, and in fact arrested them on charges of international espionage.

Deeply angered by this, the Camewottian government bombed Nerotika several times in retaliation. This failed to elicit any desirable reaction, and Nerotikan aircraft destroyed the aircraft holding the Camewottian citizens whilst in Camewottian territory. After further negotiations failed, the Nerotikan government launched an invasion of Camewot. The invasion was repelled with heavy losses on both sides, and Camewot declared war upon Nerotika. Appalled by the actions of the Nerotikan government, President Sutton pledged unlimited amounts of support to Camewot. Alongside fellow allied nation Skinny87, Credonia sent more than a million Credonian troops into Nerotika, followed by ample air and sea support.

Unexpectedly, the Nerotikan government surrendered to the allied forces completely and allowed military bases to be installed in the country by all three nations. Peacekeeping troops were deployed by the Republic into Nerotika, and controlled a large portion of the country. However, tensions soon rose between the citizens of Nerotika and the occupiers; rebel Nerotikan soldiers began a small but effective guerilla movement against the occupying forces, forcing the allied nations to fight unarmed citizens and their rebel supporters, The riots soon escalated into a full-blown conflict, which lasted for a long period. All four sectors of Nerotika under allied control came under attack, and troops were deployed into all of them. Some of the heaviest fighting took place in the Republican-controlled sector, referred to as Republican Colony of Nerotika. A peaceful protest at the City Hall in the region turned for the worst when nervous Republican MPs opened fire on the protestors with water cannon and teargas. Shots were fired by rebels and armed protestors, and more than twenty MPs were killed and dozens wounded. Civilian and rebel casualties are harder to gauge, given that many fled the scene of the attack; however the numbers were in the hundreds to be certain.

The conflict rapidly escalated; Credonian and Republican troops were diverted to Nerotika to reinforce their respective colonies, and the Praetonian government made overtures to President Martin about aiding the occupation and ending the resistance. At the same time, the Falcanian government showed its support for the Nerotikan cause by moving in SAM units and troops from the Nerotikan border, attempting to bring about a ceasefire. After a tense moment between the Falcanian ground units and Republican and Credonian aircraft, the Falcanians were allowed to assist in ending the rebellion. After more prolonged fighting and heavy casualties, the Nerotikan leader, President Naki Lok called for a ceasefire between all concerned nations. Credonia refused to accept this, and fighting continued, aided by Republican Special Forces operatives.; meanwhile Praetonian troops were readied to drop into the Nerotikan capital to sieze it and attempt to end the rebellion, aided by Republican troops.

The next move by Credonia was a necessary surprise to the allies and the world. The Credonian military launched VX-tipped missiles into the city of Lufensten in a zero-tolerance reaction to continued fighting in Credonian-territory. Official Nerotikan casualties place the numbers at more than 15,000 dead, the majority of which were civilians. A second volley of missiles, some 45 in total, hit the city and caused further casualties. Credonian forces, including armoured units, then moved into the city to quell any further uprisings by the population. In a prepared statement, the Credonian President then issued a call for a ceasefire free of terms. Events began moving rapidly after the issuing of this statement; the Republic shipped in more than 200,000 troops into Nerotika, and Praetonian forces landed by paradrop in the Nerotikan capital, being reinforced by air from captured airstrips and two Republican Fast-Reaction Battalions. Facing rebel Nerotikan troops and Falcanian military units, the Praetonian forces began to dig in, expecting heavy resistance.

Shortly after the Praetonian forces landed, a flurry of diplomatic messages between Credonia and Falcanian ended with the removal of all Falcanian forces from Nerotika with the exception of a small Royal Compound, with the Falcanian territory being handed over to the Nerotikan authorities. Camewottian forces, aided by Republican Special Forces 'advisors', then captured the territory in Operation: Thunder, doubling the size of the Camewottian territory. Casualties were small and the operation resulted mainly in a large number of arrests by Republican and Camewottian officials as suspected Nerotikan rebels were taken captive. To try and end an increasingly expensive and costly occupation, Major-General Winchester, commander of the Republican forces in Nerotika, created the Treaty of New Nerotika, signed by all sides; the treaty allowed for the withdrawal of Praetonian and Falcanian troops, and the emigration of any Nerotikan citizens wishing to leave the occupied territories. Despite skirmishing between Nerotikan rebels and Praetonian airbourne troops, and an incident where Falcanian SAMs nearly fired on Camewottian helicopters, the evactuation of Nerotikan citizens was a success for all involved.

The final chapter of the Nerotikan conflict came with the introduction of Psychotika as an ally of the remaining Nerotikan troops. Accusing the allied troops of commiting genocide and war crimes, the Psychotikan government demanded that some 15,000 Peacekeeping troops be deployed into Nerotikan to oversee the evacuation of Nerotikan refugees. A united response was the result from the allied nations in the negative, and tensions continued to rise. Republican troops began to dig in throughout the Republican Colony; tanks patrolled the streets and trenches honeycombed the entire sector. For several months peace seemed to prevail; most of the fighting ceased, and the nation began rebuilding. Even the rebel leader, Michael Trotsky was arrested and placed opn trial for crimes against the allied nation and eventually imprisoned. However, one last card was to be played, one that would cause thousands of casualties. Psychotikan troops advanced on Nerotika, supported by several Carrier groups, and launched an attack upon Republican forces. A large-scale airstrike launched from the Republican Carrier Indefatigable was launched in retaliation, and dozens of vessels were sunk or crippled despite heavy losses.

The Psychotikan forces eventually retreated after the brief engagement, and it was decided by Skinny87's President Martin himself to end the condlict before it escalated into something more than the fight for a single nation. He authorised the release of the Republican Colony into Nerotikan hands in exchange for a small military base on Juno Island and reparations of $100 Billion USD. The Camewottian and Praetonian governments followed this example and gave up their colonies as well. The Credonian colony is a matter still undecided, but is a private matter between the two powers.
