Revision as of 20:34, 21 January 2006

The Random Kingdom v Farmina War was the lesser of two wars against the Holy Empire of Farmina (the other was Mondoth v Farmina, which resulted with Mondoth winning). It is usually placed in RK timelines (Farmina's placement of the war is unknown) as starting in 2020 and ending in 2025 (the occupation lasting until 2040), though most of these years are preparation and occupation.

The Beginning

Random Kingdom declared war for a second time in 2020, on the Holy Empire of Farmina, on grounds of "human rights atrocities". Immediately there was a split of opinion, and as a result, nations joined on both sides, apparently, however, there was more allies on Farmina's side than on RK's (Random Kingdom was the aggressor). The war started with lockdowns and defensive preparation in RK and offensive preparation in Farmina and in its allies. From the start RK was doomed, due to a lack of both defensive and offensive potential, and a slapshod "voluntary army" being the only armed force it could muster. For a while nothing major happened on either side, and the dispute started to become a cold war. Then the nation of Wolfish entered the war.

Espionage

Teams of spies from both Random Kingdom and Celtayoshi attempted to gather information (RK agents were also charged with sabotaging efforts), however, RK's mission was somewhat flawed as RK was not positioned close to Farmina, and Farmina was watching the skies for paradroppers. Therefore, a series of plans to attempt to get RK agents through the border, eventually culminating in a joint effort between RKian and Celtayoshian agents. The mission never started, as the war ended shortly after transport was arranged.

The Bombings

Wolfish decided to cripple Random Kingdom by striking at its infrastructure, especially the power grid. Bombings on power plants caused blackouts and shutdowns throughout the nation, causing the fortress-worlds of the cities to slowly die. (The gates had to be opened with electric power, and therefore all of the gates were closed, and food deliveries etc. could not enter except via helicopter, and most of the helicopters were in use transporting food for the volunteers). Although these initial attempts only made RKians angrier, the final blow by Wolfish - an attack on a power plant accounting for the majority of the then capital New Hope's power, plunged the city into darkness, bringing with it most of the espionage attempts, and, most importantly, the Core Government Module - Random Kingdom's experimental computerised government project. The nation plunged into anarchy, and shortly after, Random Kingdom officially lost the war, without delivering a single offensive.

"The Last Stand" of Random Kingdom

After RK lost the war, many citizens committed suicide and razed the land around them, to attempt to make the Farminans unwelcome. However, the nation was still taken, and the so-called "Last Stand" is sometimes regarded as being futile. In an attempt by the RKians to hide most of the technology that RK stored in the capital, it was secretly copied, and then a nuclear missile was fired into the capital, obliterating it.
