The Shadow War was a war fought in Knootoss between the South Atlantic Treaty Organisation and the GDODAD. The Dominion (GDODAD) invaded on behalf of Dick Tator when he claimed to be the legitimate leader of Knootoss after an election where he became the biggest party. SATO forces intervened on behalf of the old government and drove off the Dominion until a peace agreement was reached and the old government returned.

Origins of the conflict

Manipulated elections

Elvish state-secretary Aikanáro Arcamenel assasinated; later his grave was besmirched attacks

Affair with Tim de Boer

Unknown to the public, this conflict had been sparked by manipulations of the Knootian elections, executed by various nations on both sides, including Der Angst.

KNOOTCAP (PTBI) -- The streets of Knootian cities are in chaos today as tensions rise over the government crisis. Rampaging mobs of brownshirts have been reported attacking civilians. The gangs are thought to be linked to Dick Tator, the charismatic right-winger who swept to an election victory just days ago.

In a new development, a number of foreign powers are reported to be poised for military intervention on one side or the other. "Knootoss is on the verge of war," said one official who declined to give his name.

The crisis began when Tator won a surprise victory for the leadership of the Conservative Party, junior partner in the government coalition. Tator then won the largest bloc of seats in the national election, and demanded the right to be named Prime Minister. The elections were a crushing defeat for Prime Minister Vogels' Social Liberal Party, which is now in talks with the resurgent Greens and others in an attempt to put together a grand coalition with enough strength to keep Tator out. Vogels has also had to contend with a smear campaign against his character, adding to his troubles.

The outcome is uncertain, and all eyes on the parliamentary session about to open. "The future of Knootoss is on the line," said another source who asked to remain anonymous.

Speculation is rife as to international reaction should Tator succeed in taking power. Tanah Burung's foreign ministry has already announced that the agreement to re-establish diplomatic relations after a 50-year break will be cancelled if Tator is named PM. And others are calling for sanctions. "The world cannot look on idly at the rsie of fascism," said Simon Manupatty of Human Rights International. "If Knootoss chooses this butcher as their PM, then the world should treat Knootoss as a pariah state."

No government has yet spoken of any sort of sanctions, although some of Knootoss' allies are reproted to have offered support to the SLP.

Endless Islands sends fleet


Events in and around parliament

A few days after the election there was an inauguration of the newly elected parliament. The Binnenhof was surounded by a mob of brownshirts demanding "Full powers -- or else! We want Tator-- or fire and murder!" and also shouting slogans against elves and the old government. Dick Tator himself, heavily guarded, arrived with the conservatives swore alternative vow to the one traditionally used to inaugurate new MPs, swearing to destroy enemies of Knootoss and also swearing loyalty to Tator personally in addition to to the nation.

What followed was a speech wherein Tator announced his intention for Knootoss to join the Dominion (GDODAD), met with heavy protests from SLP and KGP.


Collapsed - water poisoned shot by unknown (endless islands) assasin stubled outside to the main entrance to the parliament building

In the background, the shooting was clearly heard, yet confusion was total. Only one man had an idea what had happened. The second man in the conservative party, Montgomery Burns, folded his hands together playing his fingertips against each other. Only one thing went through his mind: “excellent”

“Great”, Vogels thought cynically. “There really is not much time to think.” The thought of leaving Knootoss crossed his mind. He had the possibility to get our of it all, and make that tour of the world he had promised to Tim. The thought of the young boy distracted him for a moment as he pictured them together sightseeing in Endless Islands. He quickly shrugged of the image. The Republic needed him most now, leaving could lead to total chaos. Making his message as compact as could possibly be, he replied: “Hostage situation in parliament – offer of additional personnel accepted – will NOT leave Knootoss – situation outside parliament becoming dangerous.” He pressed the “send” button and noticed that the Armiral was still watching the prime minister as if he wanted to say something…

Government in exile in and around Lavenrunz

Dyelli Beybi intervention

Dyelli Beybi sent ships, supposedly to evacuate diplomat. Refused (after dropship landing)

This is a formal request. We're sending in a passenger liner to pick him up. Please refrain from firing on it or we will regard this as a declaration of war.

  • =*Back in Dyelli-Beybi*=*

-Admiral, our ships have been refused entrance. -As I suspected, well you know the orders from High up. -Yes Sir. Which fleets are they Sir. -8 through 17. That should clear anything out of the water...and the air for that matter.

  • =*In the Air, nearing Knootoss*=*

-An-172 requesting permission to land in Knootoss. Over.


Attention foreign vessel. We felt we were allowed to have a few ships in International waters to perform military execises. However, we cannot tolerate this ceaseless agression from SATO warmongers. We demand the ability to land a small force and extract all Dyelli Beybian citizens who are currently endangered by the wild mobs of brownshirts in Knootoss.

Challenged by Endless Islands navy


Start of hostilities

The mayor paced quickly outside, to were the soldiers had been assembled. “Listen up men, we have a situation. An TST dropship is just landing near Scheveningen. The ministry deems it likely that they will attempt to disrupt the inauguration ceremony.” On a darker tone, he continued: “The prime minister has finally come to his senses and had given orders for the military to deploy all over Knootoss. These intruders may have some form of internal support and the events we have witnessed so far are a BIG sign. For now, the entire division is mobilised to intercept any troops the dropship may carry, and eurofighters have been scrambled from Balmora airbase. Our job is simple, neutralise the intruders.

TST disguised as hippies 30 Thelas dropships approaching, over twentyfive have been spotted and they are following the same route, Thelas offered aid to restore order Thelas was Dominion, this is the most ridiculous offer EVER. general mobilisation,Airfields all over Knootoss call for aid from SATO

Thelas but we can't be sure. Do not acknowledge this transmission. Do not reply. Supernova out.

Streetfighting

War

On behalf of SATO, Angstian, EOTED, Lavenrunzian, and Syskeyian forces were deployed in Knootoss, whose forces were lead by General de Kaste. Other Knootian allies fighting were Valinon, Sunset and Clangerland. They fought against forces deployed from Whispering Voices, Dyelli Beybi, and Fasta Benj with reasonable success.

A notable naval battle was fought in the North Sea between a massive Whispering Voices fleet and single EOTED wet-naval Battlegroup, ending in the destruction of the EOTED Battlegroup, the deployment of a large EOTED air group to suppress the Whispering Forces fleet, and the loss of several thousand lives. The battle was technically inconclusive, as hostilities ended before a true conclusion; although EOTED suffered greater losses than did Whispering Voices, possibly due to the failure of other SATO nations with naval assets in the area to deploy to the area rapidly enough.

The Silver Turtle and Thelasi forces landed in The Hague, caputuring most of the city before being repelled. Later in the war, SATO engaged forces of The Brotherhood of Nod that landed near Hoek van Holland after the allied fleet was unable to prevent their landing.

The Knootian centre of government, the city of The Hague, was shelled during this war by Dyelli Beybi. Der Angst retaliated by bombing Dyelli Beybi and the Federated Klatchian Coast.

Whispering Voices forces perhaps performed best of all those deployed, and proved an unpredictable, difficult force to be reckoned with. Thirty thousand SATO lives - all of which were from the EOTED - were lost in a single aerial bombardment when a Whispering Forces aerial taskforce breached SATO air superiority over The Hague and bombed a recently assumed EOTED position.

Conflict resolution

The conflict ended in a peace settlement negotiated by The Vortex Corporation and Tarasovka where the GDODAD withdrew in exchange for an artificial island off the coast of Knootoss, which was used as a military base disguised as an attraction park. The base was dismantled upon the expiring of the deadline fixed in the Peace Treaty.
