Shooban War

The legendary Shooban War began on August 26th, 2004 with the announcement by the nation of Shoobooshaaba that their forces would be invading The Burnsian Desert's province of Demonic Terrorists to seek revenge for brutal persecution performed by that nation's former government. Generic Empire was the first to speak up against this nation and informed them that they may proceed after seeking permission of The Burnsian Desert, or Generia would be forced to be forced “to squash your nation like a mound of ants.” Shoobooshaaba insolently rebuffed Generia’s request, but after being asked once more Shoobooshaaba began to act as if war was not the agenda, claiming that peace was desired. Wirraway came in to support Shoobooshaaba saying that they deserved justice for the acts committed by Demonic Terrorists, and with this support Shoobooshaaba felt confident once more in its desire for war.

Beginning of war

Generic Empire, Shoobooshaaba, and Wirraway continued to exchange words, bordering on an outbreak of hostilities. However, the tension snapped when Shoobooshaaba decided to commit a bold move and send her armies into Demonic Terrorists. And with that single movement, the legendary war began. Within six minutes, The Parthians pledged her armies to stopping Shoobooshaaba and announced the deployment of soldiers. Generia began mobilizing her forces and sent ahead strike fighters to attack the soldiers of Shoobooshaaba. Within eight minutes of Generian mobilization Borman Empire made an appearance and announced the mobilization of 200,000 soldiers for deployment to the theatre. After Borman Empire’s announcement of mobilization, Shoobooshaaba gave in to allied demands and announced that “Very well. We will back down until TBD grants us permission. However, if s/he does not grant us permission, we will invade whether s/he likes it or not.” But it was not what had been sought earlier, and it was already too late.

End of the war

Within four minutes of the announcement, Generian soldiers landed on Shooban shores and established a beachhead. The Parthians answered to a raise in deployed Wirrawayan forces by deploying an additional 250,000 men and extra armor. These forces, along with Borman forces, landed at the established beachhead and the three nations began fanning out and consuming the nation of Shoobooshaaba. Soon after landing, Generian and Parthian aircraft completely demolished the Shooban army of 11,000 men; leaving Shoobooshaaba completely in the defense of Wirraway, who had fortified in the capital.

All three allied forces received reinforcements from home as their soldiers cut out a swath of destruction and death and they sucked Shoobooshaaba into their control. Many women were carried off as prizes, others were enslaved, and along with the massive piles of loot; loaded onto rail trains and sent to the base to be shipped home to the allied nations. The only true engagement of the war occurred between Generian and Wirrawayan aircraft, where Generian fighters came out on top. Soon after, Grenval became involved and deployed five heavy infantry divisions to be placed under allied control. Soon following that, J.L. sent a message to Shoobooshaaba recommending that they surrender or face Roach-Busterian involvement. Five minutes later, Wirraway came to realize that her forces were heavily outmanned and outgunned and that even more nations may join on the allied side. With no assistance from Shooban soldiers and the only possible outcome of a battle being a defeat, Wirraway made the decision to withdraw. Less than a minute after this, Shoobooshaaba announced her surrender (on August 26th, 2004) and revealed a death toll of nearly 100,000.

The Surrender

In the end, Shooban terms of surrender served merely as a guideline to the surrender terms drafted by the allied forces.

1.) Unconditional surrender.
2.) All weapons, vehicles, etc. to be confiscated by allied forces.
3.) Shoobooshaaba to be divided among the allies and kept in their control until events outside of their control change that.
4.) All money in the treasury to be used to cover the allies' costs of the war.
5.) War crimes trials to be held for the Shooban generals who planned the invasion and massacre of DT.
6.) All prisoners and prizes to remain in the hands of those who carried them off.
7.) Allied nations to receive 50,000 Shooban citizens of good physical condition to serve as slaves.

Aftermath

Immediately following the unneeded acceptance of the terms by Shoobooshaaba, Borman Empire and Generic Empire came into control of 40% of Shoobooshaaba each, leaving The Parthians with 20%. Very soon afterwards, Generic Empire gave away 10% of the 40% she had to Roach-Busters so that Roach-Busters could create a new colony. Also, Borman Empire gave Grenval 400 square miles with which to construct a military base.

Untold numbers of Shoobans were enslaved by the allied forces, probably millions, and worked to build and furnish the new colonies. Through Parthian slave sales, these Shooban slaves have become available to any nations seeking them, and all slaves not held by allied forces have originated from these sales. As time went the number of enslaved Shoobans increased tremendously, estimates range from hundreds of millions to billions. “After many years of enslavement and subsequent selective breeding experiments on these 'Shoobans', as they came to be known, the people more or less devolved into a humanoid creature similar to what one might call a 'goblin' or 'imp'. The things were bred for labor, not intelligence, and most possess an average IQ of 40 or thereabouts. Some are bred for strength, some for service. All are abused, and considered in the four conquering powers to be lower than the lowest form of life on Earth. They are scorned, tortured, beaten, and slaughtered for amusement, and occasionally eaten.” (Generic Empire) Borman Empire, Generic Empire, and The Parthians still hold the vast majority of Shooban slaves.

Most people believe that genocide was rampant among the armies of the allies, but their governments insist that civilians were not purposely targeted. There were reports of dead civilians, but allied reports maintain that these were accidental deaths. All that is known for sure is that they did enslave Shoobans.

Later on, under threats from Dracun Imperium, The Parthians surrendered all Parthian held Shooban land, save their capital, to the Dracunians. At this point, Shoobooshaaba rested in the hands of Borman Empire, Generic Empire, Dracun Imperium, Grenval, Roach-Busters and The Parthians. As time went on, eventually the nation of Grenval was overcome with a complete lack of sanity and renounced all allies it had, forsaking them to the wind. Once Grenval did that, Borman Empire seized the military base and killed all defenders, one less nation holding part of Shoobooshaaba. As time went on Roach-Busters passed away and Generia once more took control of the land. Eventually, Dracun Imperium also passed to the sands of time, and when they did, both Borman and Generic Empire divided the Shooban lands held by Dracun Imperium. Today, Borman Empire and Generic Empire both hold almost half of Shoobooshaaba, with The Parthians in control of a city.
