Revision as of 21:18, 29 November 2006
The Rogue War was a large and total war that ended abruptly with the unconditional surrender of a large portion of the Armed Forces of the Leyendo Confederation. The Rogue Alliance, led by Karchozia and Jaghur, totally defeated the dissident splinter group Rogue Union, which was led by Wandering Companies. Most of the fighting comprised of the ground invasion of the Leyendo Confederation (Wandering Companies, Read lots, and Kill lots). The cleanup of the aftermath of the war is still a matter of contention between Rogue Alliance and the defeated nations of the Leyendo Confederation.

Background
Pre-Conflict Rogue Alliance
For unclear reasons, the leadership of Wandering Companies withdrew its support from Karchozia as UN Delegate of the alliance in February 2006. Later Karchozian theories include anger towards UN decisions that had been heavily favoured by Karchozia. Power soon passed to Romandeos, which was uncooperative with Wandering Companies. The Karchozian government saw Wandering Companies's action as a political coup and reacted by withdrawing its own endorsement from Romandeos. Karchozia regained its position as UN Delegate by late March.
Formation of Rogue Union
Wandering Companies's explanation of the entire affair was deemed incomprehensible and insufficient by Karchozia. As a result, it was promptly expelled from Rogue Alliance in April. Wandering Companies's leadership then formed the Rogue Union, a rival alliance and a slap towards Karchozian hegemony. Japaneee, Derek World 2, and Xentor were convinced into joining the fledging alliance. The momentum of admission grew, as Brasgada and Lorwegia soon joined Rogue Union as well. Though Derek World 2 and Japanee left Rogue Union after approximately a month due to domestic unrest, Gemetar and TotallyNotAPuppet were to join to counter this. On 12 May 2006, Karchozia expelled Read lots and Kill lots from Rogue Alliance, whom defected to Rogue Union.
Trade Alliance's Role
Trade Alliance, led by Jaghur, signed a military alliance with Rogue Alliance on 05 May 2006. This was soon followed by Trade Alliance's admission into the Rogue Alliance exactly one week afterwards, making the previous treaty superfluous. This tactic was to counter Rogue Union's alarming growth. The Trade Alliance's powerful economies and militaries would prove to be useful assets for Rogue Alliance.
Karchozian Ultimatum (17 May 2006)
The Karchozian government issued an extremely prohibitive ultimatum to Wandering Companies on 17 May 2006.
1.The government of Wandering Companies must allow Alliance advisers to oversee their government activies, as well as their military activities. This will bring peace of mind to the citizens and politicians in the Rogue Alliance that no ill-deeds are being conceived against the Alliance within the political or military organizations.
A. To further dispel any military danger posed by Wandering Companies, they must disarm all branches of their military service, which includes: the Army, Navy, and Air Force. It also includes any classified military groups.
1. However, the police forces and political bodyguard units are allowed to remain active and at their current operational levels.
2. A Coast Guard is permitted for basic naval border security, along with a small Port Security Force, composed of the current police units and civilian volunteers.
3. Select parts of the Air Force will be allowed to remain active, pending Alliance advisor approval, to supply adequate air coverage of key civilian populations.
B. The Armed Forces (Army) will only be allowed to have 50,000 active personnel. This includes command, intelligence, medical and fighting personnel. Only a 25,000 personnel limit is permitted on the Reserves service branch.
C.The armaments allowed to be utilized by the W.C. government will be strictly monitored. All nuclear warheads will be dismantled, and combat weaponry will be carefully examined. If necessary, the W.C. will pay for all replacement troop weapons if they are needed.
Failure to abide to this ultimatum, or offer an agreeable alternative, will result in military action by the Karchozian Army and the powers at the disposal of the Rogue Alliance. If an answer is not received in 14 days, then the military action will take place.
Wandering Companies failed to respond, and Rogue Alliance declared war on Rogue Union on 31 May 2006.
The War
Jaghurian Excursions (June 2006)
The war began as a series of sporadic offensives/reconnaissance missions on part of Jaghur's well-developed Air Force, which was immediately followed by Karchozian expeditions on Rogue Union soil, events known as the Jaghurian Excursions and the Karchozian Offensive, respectively. The Rogue Alliance's initial intelligence stated that the Rogue Union landmass was essentially a large island entirely surrounded by cliffs. It became obvious later that the data had been tampered with after Lieutenant Paul Banskosi (Call Sign: "Thief", 27th Wing, 4th Division) and his reconnaissance squadron spotted "Victory", an unprotected 4.3 mile long beach in the northwest corner of Kill Lots. This beach later provided the base of operations for the ground forces of Jaghur and Karchozia. After the reconnaissance missions had gathered all viable data, the Jaghurian Air Force, supported by its subsidiary, the Naval Air Force, began bombing raids on major arms factories within Kill Lots, Read Lots, and Wandering Companies. The raids were of considerable success, and slowed arms production of the three Rogue Union belligerents. However, this was not without cost.
An irate Rogue Union soon launched counter-attacks involving their interceptor jets as well as multiple SAM batteries. A fair amount of planes were downed by this deadly combination. But soon afterwards, the Jaghurian Air Force launched their almost brand-new stealth fighter, the JF-19 "Shark", which is considered by many experts to be one of, if not the best stealth plane in the world today. It wreaked untold destruction upon the Rogue Union interceptors, and all but destroyed the numerous SAM batteries.
The Jaghurian Excursions culminated in:
The Battle of "El Librario" I
Captain Joe Greyson (Call Sign: "Lightning", 1st Wing, 1st Division) led the 1st, the 18th, and the 27th Wing (each wing contained 20 heavily-armed JF-19 "Sharks") on a patrolling mission approximately 9.3 kilometres away from the capital of Read Lots, El Librario, at approximately 0700 hours. The Jaghurian force was attacked by 120 (although some debate the actual number was 110) Rogue Union interceptors. Six "Sharks" were immediately downed: one from the 1st Wing, three from the 18th Wing, and two from the 27th Wing.
Despite the initial shock, the remaining 54 "Sharks" flew into the clouds in all directions in an attempt to confuse and separate the Rogue Union pilots. It worked perfectly, as the Rogue Union pilots soon lost track of the Jaghurian pilots. In the astonishing counterattack, the small force soon shot down an unprecedented 63 planes.
The dismayed Rogue Union fighter pilots soon dropped into retreat, but not without another blow to their ranks. The Jaghurian pilots managed to drop 30 more Rogue Union planes before they were fully out of range, leaving only 27 Rogue Union interceptors out of an original 120.
As a result, Rogue Alliance morale was lifted to heights previously unattainable, and the Jaghurian Air Force gained pride, fame, and an excellent reputation. To what most attribute to their demoralizing and costly loss, the Rogue Union did not take to the air again until late August 2006.
Nevertheless, the Jaghurian commander was heavily criticised by his peers for recklessly sending sixty valuable stealth planes over enemy-held territory. The risk was uncalculably enormous, but luckily for the Jaghurian Air Force, the Leyendo interceptors were defeated. The Rogue Union, however, was able to reverse-engineer portions of the JF-19 from partially-destroyed aircraft. These components were combined with indigenous designs to produce a potent fighter. However, few examples could be fielded before the collapse of the Rogue Union war effort.
Karchozian Offensive (June-August 2006)
Though Karchozian forces had made excellent headway in controlling the coastal areas, they were unable to capitalize on their position due to Leyendo positions and defenses. As much of the Karchozian Navy was occupied shelling the Rogue Union colonies, the Royal Ground Forces managed to set up secure defensive positions to buffer against Rogue Union attacks. Energetic NSR officers, believing this to be both strategically and tactically unsound, spearheaded an attack with the volunteer 8th Guards Division, surrounding a powerful Rogue Union fortress on two sides. Casualties on both sides were relatively light, with the Rogue Alliance suffering slightly more.
A Jaghurian air unit failed to pinpoint the local Leyendo headquarters due to the heavy jungle, but the Rogue Union continued to resupply their garrison. Whilst the fighting on land continued, the Karchozian and Jaghurian naval forces arrived by early July and shelled the Rogue Union positions with great accuracy. Realizing that the losses would be enormous in trying to defend the area, the Leyendo forces blew up their own fortress and retreated with light casualties. The Rogue Alliance forces quickly occupied the area. Finally, the Karchozian offensive was making headway.
