'''Zarkoprom''' is a robotics R&amp;amp;D block run by Chief Designer Zarko Veselko, specializing in the production of industrial equipment and military hardware. Founded in 2174 during the early stages of the Object 62 project at OKB No. 14, Zarkoprom originated from a need for a fire-control system for the LT-15 series of armored combat vehicles. Zarko Veselko developed an innovative fire control system that maintained range acquisition under extreme conditions and, as a result, was promoted to lead a newly formed department. This department was subsequently spun off to create Zarkoprom, a dedicated electronics design bureau. Today, Zarkoprom is the primary manufacturer of robotic manufacturing arms used in mass production factories across Desovo.&lt;br /&gt;

==Zarkoprom Overland Battalions== &lt;br /&gt;
The Overland Battalions subdivision of Zarkoprom is dedicated specifically to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Established in 2194 after the successful production of the SRC-100 series reconnaissance drones, this unit enabled forward artillery observation without risking personnel on the ground. The SRC-100 program has continued to evolve, now in its third generation, with the latest model designated as the SRC-102S.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2199, viability studies were conducted on heavy dual-motor drones to replace the aging Zil-4 utility helicopter for infantry and close ground support roles. Prototyping continued in 2201, when the SCV-112 entered production as a hunter-killer platform. In 2208, after further research and studies on cost reduction, the design was modified to feature a primarily wooden frame, reducing the overall cost per unit by nearly half. Subsequent vehicles remained visually identical to the first-generation SCV-112 units but were classified as SCV-122 going forward.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Background and Preparation'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a Hook Brzinair DC-12 airliner was stolen from a regional airport in the Republic of Medsous, and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the attack, during the cleanup of the wreckage, two passports belonging to Drakke Svono &amp;amp; Jocxya Nicholsa, known members of the [[Tachystani Liberation Front]], were discovered. Combining this with witness statements from both the hijacking and the security footage from the weapons military research facility confirmed them as the perpetrators. Two years into the cleanup of Polja, the cockpit DVR was discovered in the wreckage. A transcript was released by the FIB and DSDB in 2153 as part of a briefing known as the &amp;quot;[[Medsous Incident DVR]]&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

Shrepco has an immense industrial capacity, able to assemble almost anything a military might need. There have been several investigations into where Shrepco manufactures its equipment; however, all in-depth investigations only come back to a disused industrial park in Southern [[Desovo]] and a shipyard in eastern [[Fortis]] that has been in a state of disrepair since the 2120s. Both sites were thoroughly investigated by the DSDB and the FIB, ultimately coming to the conclusion that both sites were in a state of disuse and showed no capacity to produce anything of significance.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Background and Preparation'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a Hook Brzinair DC-12 airliner was stolen from a regional airport in the Republic of Medsous, and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the attack, during the cleanup of the wreckage, two passports belonging to Drakke Svono &amp;amp; Jocxya Nicholsa, known members of the [[Tachystani Liberation Front]], were discovered. Combining this with witness statements from both the hijacking and the security footage from the weapons military research facility confirmed them as the perpetrators. Two years into the cleanup of Polja, the cockpit DVR was discovered in the wreckage. A transcript was released by the FIB and DSDB in 2153 as part of a briefing known as the &amp;quot;[[Medsous Incident DVR]]&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The '''''Tachystani Liberation Front''''' ('''''TLF''''') is a private mercenary organization and asset redistribution corporation created by [[Shrep Tach]] as a freelance nongovernmental peacekeeping force formed in 2143. Since then, the TLF has continually grown in strength through substantial donations from several anonymous donors, whom the Tachystanis refer to as the &amp;quot;merchants guild.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front operates on a strictly non-ideological mission structure, meaning it will take any job regardless of the client's affiliation or goals. Due to the broad range of potential clientele, the TLF provides a full range of military services, including combat, logistics, training, and manufacturing. Due to the non-discriminating method of job procurement, several governments have claimed the TLF is responsible for, including but not limited to, warcrimes, privateering, piracy, disruption of international trade routes, forced deportation, and slavery. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The TLF was the organization responsible for the Medsous terrorist attack of 2151, acquiring both the DC-12 airliner and sarin gas used in the attack that would ultimately claim the lives of an estimated 50,000 people. Despite threats of military intervention, Shrep Tach and other TLF leaders refused to disclose who had hired them. Despite the attack claiming the lives of thousands of residents of both [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]], during the [[Pike Agreement]] of 2152 between Desovo and Fortis, the TLF was formally cleared of all liability, and their license to operate within both countries was reinstated.&lt;br /&gt;
==Origins==&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front began as the Mamba Unit, founded by a former Laythian special forces soldier known only as &amp;quot;The Chief&amp;quot; at an unknown time. Modern estimates believe the group began its activities sometime in the mid-2120s. The Mamba unit would be involved in various military operations in South Veiid, operating on a similar model to the modern TLF, working with anyone so long as they provided adequate payment. The Chief was renowned for his innovative acquisitions of military assets and his ability to ensure profit, regardless of how dire the situation became. At some point, The Chief would begin mentoring [[Shrep Tach]] as his protege and expected successor. &lt;br /&gt;
In 2143, The Chief died under unknown circumstances, and Shrep Tach took up the mantle as the leader of the Mamba Unit, ultimately reforming the organization as the Tachystani Liberation Front. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Modern TLF ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Tachbase=== &lt;br /&gt;
In 2160, the Tachystani Liberation Front began construction of an offshore mobile headquarters known as the &amp;quot;Tachbase, an industrial hub and barracks capable of supporting a large number of soldiers for extended periods of time aswell as store and service any equipment that may be needed for a military operation, aswell as the manufacture of new equipment as needed. As of now, the source of funds to build such a vast complex of military hardware remains unclear. All attempts to uncover the source of the funding have ultimately been fruitless, with the only publicly disclosed information being that construction would not have been possible without the support of the &amp;quot;merchants guild,&amp;quot; an as-yet unclear financial institution or group of donors.  &lt;br /&gt;
==Operational Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The modern Tachystani Liberation Front is organized into several different Regiments, each suited to different potential clientele based on price range and operational intent. &lt;br /&gt;

==Criticisms of the TLF==&lt;br /&gt;
===Terrorism allegations===&lt;br /&gt;
Many have alleged the TLF is a terrorist organization due to its willingness to work for anyone and the unwillingness of the TLF to reveal any contractee information, combined with the inability of purported clients that have been released to be verified as having signed a contract, or being an existing entity. On one noteworthy occasion, although a client did step forward to claim accountability for armed intervention at a weapons manufacturing plant, the company that took responsibility was discovered to be a textiles factory that had filed for bankruptcy in the mid-2170s, roughly a decade before the attack, making the admission suspect. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite continual allegations of uncontracted acts of violence, Shrep Tach maintains that all actions are taken at the discretion of customers and therefore do not fall within their purview of responsibility. Even if they claim responsibility for the action, all Tachystani guidelines clearly state that the customer is responsible for all actions taken while under contract and, always right in matters of what actions to take, regardless of any societal or legal issues that may arise in the process of completing a contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Off the books military===&lt;br /&gt;
Among the criticisms leveled at the TLF, one of the more notable allegations is that the organization acts as an unofficial government agency on behalf of various nations in Veiid, engaging in actions they do not wish to undertake personally. Critics claim that the TLF works on behalf of the Fortisian government, or one of the nations of the [[Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]], due in large part to the fact that several attacks have been executed on their soil for little to no repercussion against the TLF, despite continual promises to put an end to the &amp;quot;Tachystani menace&amp;quot;; ultimately, no significant action has been taken against the Tachystani Liberation Front. In the 2140s, shortly after Shrep Tach formed the modern TLF, several covert photos were taken of the then-Fortisian president Dmitri Dixon with an unknown individual; many have claimed the individual was Shrep Tach. They are still permitted free access to Veiidic waters. &lt;br /&gt;

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Background and Preparation'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a Hook Brzinair DC-12 airliner was stolen from a regional airport in the Republic of Medsous, and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the attack, during the cleanup of the wreckage, two passports belonging to Drakke Svono &amp;amp; Jocxya Nicholsa, known members of the [[Tachystani Liberation Front]], were discovered. Combining this with witness statements from both the hijacking and the security footage from the weapons military research facility confirmed them as the perpetrators. Two years into the cleanup of Polja, the cockpit DVR was discovered in the wreckage. A transcript was released by the FIB and DSD in 2153 as part of a briefing known as the &amp;quot;[[Medsous Incident DVR]]&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Background and Preparation'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a Hook Brzinair DC-12 airliner was stolen from a regional airport in the Republic of Medsous, and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the attack, during the cleanup of the wreckage, two passports belonging to Drakke Svono &amp;amp; Jocxya Nicholsa, known members of the [[Tachystani Liberation Front]], were discovered. Combining this with witness statements from both the hijacking and the security footage from the weapons military research facility confirmed them as the perpetrators. The cockpit DVR was discovered in the wreckage. The transcript was released publicly by the FIB and DFB in 2153 in a briefing known as the &amp;quot;[[Medsous Incident DVR]]&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Background and Preparation'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a Hook Brzinair DC-12 airliner was stolen from a regional airport in the Republic of Medsous, and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the attack, during the cleanup of the wreckage, two passports belonging to Drakke Svono &amp;amp; Jocxya Nicholsa, known members of the [[Tachystani Liberation Front]], were discovered. Combining this with witness statements from both the hijacking and the security footage from the weapons military research facility confirmed them as the perpetrators. The cockpit DVR was discovered in the wreckage. The transcript was released publicly by the FIB and DFB in 2153 as a file known as the &amp;quot;[[Medsous Incident DVR]]&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Background and Preparation'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a Hook Brzinair DC-12 airliner was stolen from a regional airport in the Republic of Medsous, and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the attack, during the cleanup of the wreckage, two passports belonging to Drakke Svono &amp;amp; Jocxya Nicholsa, known members of the [[Tachystani Liberation Front]], were discovered. Combining this with witness statements from both the hijacking and the security footage from the weapons military research facility confirmed them as the perpetrators. The cockpit DVR was discovered in the wreckage. The transcript was released publicly by the FIB and DFB in 2153 and can be read [[Medsous Incident DVR]]. &lt;br /&gt;

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Background and Preparation'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a Hook Brzinair DC-12 passenger aircraft was stolen from a regional airport in Desova and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the attack, during the cleanup of the wreckage, two passports belonging to Drakke Svono &amp;amp; Jocxya Nicholsa, known members of the [[Tachystani Liberation Front]], were discovered. Combining this with witness statements from both the hijacking and the security footage from the weapons military research facility confirmed them as the perpetrators. The cockpit DVR was discovered in the wreckage. The transcript was released publicly by the FIB and DFB in 2153 and can be read [[Medsous Incident DVR]]. &lt;br /&gt;

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Background and Preparation'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a DC-12 passenger aircraft was stolen from a regional airport in Desova and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the attack, during the cleanup of the wreckage, a passport belonging to Kirad Zarrah, a known member of the [[[Tachystani Liberation Front]]], was discovered. Combining this with witness statements from both the hijacking and the security footage from the weapons military research facility confirmed them as the perpetrators.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Desovo''', officially the '''Principality of Desovo''', is an independent nation located in central Veiid, sharing a border with [[Atreus]] and [[Novenad]] to the north, [[Fortis]] to the east, and [[Illishira]] to the south.  The Principality was formed following the [[Clifford Desovo|assassination of Clifford Desovo]] and subsequent reformation of the Republic of Desovo, conducted by the current regent [[Ian Zanu]] to stabilize the nation following the significant civil unrest following his assassination. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History of Desovo ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The DCDC ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2120s, the economic situation in [[Laythia]] and [[Troakia]] had deteriorated significantly to the point that criminal fiefdoms had come to control peripheral territories of both countries, and their governments were too preoccupied with civil unrest to address the situation in any meaningful way. During this period of hardship, Clifford Desovo established the Desovo Civilian Defense Corps, also known as the [[DCDC]], a paramilitary organization to maintain peace in the province of [[Fortis|Medsous]], in which his hometown of Polja was located. The DCDC would provide security that the government had failed to deliver to the surrounding area. In the years that followed, Medsous would become the safest province in the periphery, attracting others from surrounding provinces seeking shelter from the strife of the era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Laythia Reformation ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the significant reform of the Laythian government underway, some of the regions in the area began to stabilize, resulting in the return of refugees to their hometowns and villages. Several of the refugees who attempted to return would find that during the civil unrest and subsequent reforms, a clerical error had resulted in the resident directories for several districts becoming lost. During the 2126 referendum, voting information was used to fill in the missing data, marking them as legal residents of Polja. &lt;br /&gt;
The DCDC would attempt to work with the refugees to get their homes back; however, due to the violence that had transpired in the region, many of the homes had been destroyed, and the land had been sold or appropriated by the government for new housing developments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Legal Issue, Alleged Treason ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2132, the referendum had concluded, and the laythian and Troakian governments had signed the Fortis pact, uniting the two countries as one. While the newfound stability was initially viewed as a boon to the residents of Medsous, the now united government of the two countries, currently known as [[Fortis]], began investigating the affairs of the peripheral territories. In August 2133, these investigations uncovered that at no point in time had Clifford Desovo been appointed as the governor or provisional governor of Medsous. As such, the DCDC was not a state-authorized peacekeeping division or law enforcement agency, and members of the new Fortisian government demanded that the DCDC immediately cease all activity in the region and that Clifford Desovo turn himself in for a formal inquiry into all actions taken during his unauthorized governance of the region. Initially, members of the DCDC, as well as Clifford, were amenable to the demands, as the most severe penalty was a fine, which was well within the organization's means to pay. The newly restructured government was also establishing a new peacekeeping force; as such, there would be no need to defend the region from roaming bandits. Unfortunately, three days after the demand was made, the government inspector sent to the region became inebriated in a local bar and was arrested by members of the DCDC following a bar fight, putting him in a detainment cell for the night. In response, minutes after his release, the inspector placed a call requesting arrest warrants be issued for Clifford Desovo, as well as other high-ranking members of the DCDC, claiming the citizens of Polja were being held captive, and being extorted by DCDC forces. This call would be placed on a recorded line in the lobby of the Polja Police Department office, where he had been previously detained. The inspector was detained once again to prevent the situation from worsening.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Attempted negotiations, assassination of the Negotiator. ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To resolve the situation peacefully, and avoid life sentences for both himself and several others Clifford Desovo attempted to contact the government agents who initially issued the demands for the formal investigation, however as the DCDC had been labelled as a terrorist organization, the agents refused all attempts at communication, on that basis that negotiation with terrorists was not permissible, all future attempts to communicate via phone received only demands of unconditional surrender. One member of the DCDC, Jadimir Dovtrovic, who had close ties with several former and incumbent members of the Laythian government, offered to negotiate on behalf of Clifford and the DCDC. At 7:21 AM, Jadimir would depart Polja for the city of Medsous. At 8:01 AM, while on the highway, his vehicle was struck by an unknown weapon, breaking off the front left tire of the vehicle. His car veered into oncoming traffic, and he was struck by a passing utility vehicle. Attempts were made to resuscitate him by a passing doctor who was on his way to Polja; however, the crash had killed him on impact. A member of the DCDC, who was following at a distance, reports that a car parked by the side of the road rapidly left the area following the incident. This report matches several other witness statements. To date, the perpetrator has not been caught; however, most investigations have concluded that the perpetrator was most likely a Laythian Intelligence Bureau agent, as Jadimir was driving in a vehicle registered to DCDC. Laythia attempted to deny all responsibility, and to this day Fortis refuses a property inquiry into the assassination by claiming the car struck a piece of road debris, and it was in a state of disrepair; however, all declassified images of the scene taken by both LIB agents, aswell as nearby witnesses do not show any debris on the roadway, and although maintenance records for the vehicle could not be located, it was known to be maintained personally by a DCDC mechanic known for his diligence and work ethic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Departure from Laythia ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the assassination of Jadimir, Clifford held a meeting with DCDC Commanders, aswell as several community leaders in Polja. After six hours of debate, it was determined that a future in Medsous was not a viable option for members of the DCDC. Over the coming weeks, members of the DCDC would depart the borders of Laythia for central Veiid. The territory of central Veiid was at the time still governed by the [[New Kalban Republic]], however, the NKR had also suffered from the deterioration of the region, and recovery for the southern territories was almost certainly impossible. Several warring micronations had formed in the interim. One of these nations, the New Laythia Union, which had been founded by members who had chosen to flee during the upheaval of the 2120s, readily welcomed members of the DCDC, aswell as the former Laythi citizens that followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Establishment of the Republic ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Republic of New Medsous was formally established in 2140, with Clifford Desovo winning the inaugural election and becoming the Republic's first and only president. In the following years, Clifford would push for industrialization and revitalization of the region. Due in large part to these reforms, the surrounding areas sought to join the Republic and were ultimately welcomed as districts in the newly founded country. The de facto leader of the largest states was [[Ian Zanu]], who, upon gaining a seat in parliament, ran for deputy chairman of the republic, which he ultimately secured. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Six Month War ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Assassination of Clifford Desovo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pike Incident was a significant event in late 2150 involving the RMSS Pike, the first of a new class of low-Kerbin-orbit research and transit shuttles. Clifford Desovo was delivering a live speech aboard the Pike, a mission intended to bolster national security and promote militarization.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven minutes after achieving orbit, and just thirty seconds into Clifford's speech, an explosive device detonated in engine #2 of the Pike, resulting in a loss of stability and an uncontrollable spin. Two minutes after the explosion, the shuttle began re-entering the atmosphere. Despite the crew’s attempts to regain control, the spacecraft suffered structural failure and disintegrated during re-entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the incident, authorities launched an investigation into the ground crew responsible for engine maintenance. The investigation revealed that the lead fueling technician had links to [[Fortis]]. Under interrogation, the technician confessed to planting the explosive device on behalf of the Fortis Intelligence Bureau (FIB), to prevent Clifford Desovo from unifying the Republic. The technician also identified several other Fortisian agents embedded within the government of New Medsous. Many of these agents were subsequently apprehended, interrogated, and imprisoned. However, some managed to escape the country with assistance from Fortisian operatives, evading justice.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Engagement ===&lt;br /&gt;
After the lead perpetrator admitted to assassinating Clifford Desovo on behalf of Fortis, Deputy Chairman Ian Zanu invoked the Emergency Defense Act and assumed the position of acting president. The Republic demanded formal reprimands and the extradition of those responsible from Fortis. Following Fortis’s refusal to comply, the Republic deployed three armored divisions across the eastern border to apprehend the suspects. The Fortisian government responded by mobilizing its military forces, leading to open conflict between the two nations. Several military engagements ensued over the subsequent months, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;
===Stalemate===&lt;br /&gt;
After six months of hostilities, the conflict reached a stalemate. Desovan forces succeeded in reclaiming the region of Medsous, reaffirming its historical claim. However, further advances were impeded by difficult terrain and severe winter weather, which disrupted logistics. The recapture of Medsous prompted the return of thousands of displaced Desovans, many of whom resettled in the major city of Polja, which had remained largely intact following its capture early in the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Medsous Incident ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Polja Sarin Attack, known commonly as the “Medsous Incident,” was a mass-casualty terrorist incident that occurred in Polja on November 23, 2151. The attack involved the use of a stolen DC-12 passenger airliner and the deployment of sarin nerve agent over a densely populated urban area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Background and Preparation''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 20, 2151, a DC-12 passenger aircraft was stolen from a regional airport in Desova and flown to an unknown location. Two days later, on November 22, a military research facility in Fortis was seized by an armed group, who subsequently stole approximately 30 liters of sarin nerve agent intended for weapons development, along with several other military assets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Attack'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 23, 2151, at approximately 11:07 AM, the stolen DC-12 was flown over the city of Polja. A large explosive device was detonated aboard the aircraft, splitting the airframe and releasing a substantial quantity of sarin gas, which quickly spread over several city blocks. The initial release of the nerve agent resulted in an estimated 25,000 fatalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Impact'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the explosion, debris from the aircraft struck multiple residential buildings, igniting fires in several multi-story structures. Many of these buildings, constructed during the previous Lathian regime, featured Commune-Block design, which was highly susceptible to fire and offered limited evacuation routes. Emergency response efforts were severely hampered, as the nerve agent incapacitated most motorists and rendered roadways impassable. Cold weather conditions caused the gas to linger for days, further increasing the death toll, particularly among those trapped in buildings. Fatality estimates range between 45,000 and 55,000, though exact numbers remain uncertain due to incomplete census data amid ongoing conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Perpetrators'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The attack was orchestrated by members of the Tachystani Liberation Front, who were identified as responsible for the theft of both the aircraft and the sarin nerve agent. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The '''''Tachystani Liberation Front''''' ('''''TLF''''') is a private mercenary organization and asset redistribution corporation created by [[Shrep Tach]] as a freelance nongovernmental peacekeeping force formed in 2143. Since then, the TLF has continually grown in strength through substantial donations from several anonymous donors, whom the Tachystanis refer to as the &amp;quot;merchants guild.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front operates on a strictly non-ideological mission structure, meaning it will take any job regardless of the client's affiliation or goals. Due to the broad range of potential clientele, the TLF provides a full range of military services, including combat, logistics, training, and manufacturing. Due to the non-discriminating method of job procurement, several governments have claimed the TLF is responsible for, including but not limited to, warcrimes, privateering, piracy, disruption of international trade routes, forced deportation, and slavery. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The TLF was the organization responsible for the Medsous terrorist attack of 2151, acquiring both the DC-12 airliner and sarin gas used in the attack that would ultimately claim the lives of an estimated 50,000 people. Despite threats of military intervention, Shrep Tach and other TLF leaders refused to disclose who had hired them. Despite the attack claiming the lives of thousands of residents of both [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]], during the [[Pike Agreement]] of 2152 between Desovo and Fortis, the TLF was formally cleared of all liability, and their license to operate within both countries was reinstated.&lt;br /&gt;
==Origins==&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front began as the Mamba Unit, founded by a former Laythian special forces soldier known only as &amp;quot;The Chief&amp;quot; at an unknown time. Modern estimates believe the group began its activities sometime in the mid-2120s. The Mamba unit would be involved in various military operations in South Veiid, operating on a similar model to the modern TLF, working with anyone so long as they provided adequate payment. The Chief was renowned for his innovative acquisitions of military assets and his ability to ensure profit, regardless of how dire the situation became. At some point, The Chief would begin mentoring [[Shrep Tach]] as his protege and expected successor. &lt;br /&gt;
In 2143, The Chief died under unknown circumstances, and Shrep Tach took up the mantle as the leader of the Mamba Unit, ultimately reforming the organization as the Tachystani Liberation Front. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Modern TLF ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Tachbase=== &lt;br /&gt;
In 2160, the Tachystani Liberation Front began construction of an offshore mobile headquarters known as the &amp;quot;Tachbase, an industrial hub and barracks capable of supporting a large number of soldiers for extended periods of time aswell as store and service any equipment that may be needed for a military operation, aswell as the manufacture of new equipment as needed. As of now, the source of funds to build such a vast complex of military hardware remains unclear. All attempts to uncover the source of the funding have ultimately been fruitless, with the only publicly disclosed information being that construction would not have been possible without the support of the &amp;quot;merchants guild,&amp;quot; an as-yet unclear financial institution or group of donors.  &lt;br /&gt;
==Operational Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The modern Tachystani Liberation Front is organized into several different Regiments, each suited to different potential clientele based on price range and operational intent. &lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
==Criticisms of the TLF==&lt;br /&gt;
===Terrorism allegations===&lt;br /&gt;
Many have alleged the TLF is a terrorist organization due to its willingness to work for anyone and the unwillingness of the TLF to reveal any contractee information, combined with the inability of purported clients that have been released to be verified as having signed a contract, or being an existing entity. On one noteworthy occasion, although a client did step forward to claim accountability for armed intervention at a weapons manufacturing plant, the company that took responsibility was discovered to be a textiles factory that had filed for bankruptcy in the mid-2170s, roughly a decade before the attack, making the admission suspect. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite continual allegations of uncontracted acts of violence, Shrep Tach maintains that all actions are taken at the discretion of customers and therefore do not fall within their purview of responsibility. Even if they claim responsibility for the action, all Tachystani guidelines clearly state that the customer is responsible for all actions taken while under contract and, always right in matters of what actions to take, regardless of any societal or legal issues that may arise in the process of completing a contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Off the books military===&lt;br /&gt;
Among the criticisms leveled at the TLF, one of the more notable allegations is that the organization acts as an unofficial government agency on behalf of various nations in Veiid, engaging in actions they do not wish to undertake personally. Critics claim that the TLF works on behalf of the Fortisian government, or one of the nations of the [[Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]], due in large part to the fact that several attacks are being executed on their soil for little to no repercussion against the TLF, despite continual promises to put an end to the &amp;quot;Tachystani menace&amp;quot;; ultimately, no significant action has been taken against the Tachystani liberation front. They are still permitted free access to Veiidic waters. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Despite continual allegations of uncontracted acts of violence, Shrep Tach maintains that all actions are taken at the discretion of customers and therefore do not fall within their purview of responsibility. Even if they claim responsibility for the action, all Tachystani guidelines clearly state that the customer is responsible for all actions taken while under contract and, always right in matters of what actions to take, regardless of any societal or legal issues that may arise in the process of completing a contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Off the books military===&lt;br /&gt;
Among the criticisms leveled at the TLF, one of the more notable allegations is that the organization acts as an unofficial government agency on behalf of various nations in Veiid, engaging in actions they do not wish to undertake personally. Critics claim that the TLF works on behalf of the Fortisian government, or one of the nations of the [[Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]], due in large part to the fact that several attacks are being executed on their soil for little to no repercussion against the TLF, despite continual promises to put an end to the &amp;quot;Tachystani menace&amp;quot;; ultimately, no significant action has been taken against the Tachystani liberation front. They are still permitted free access to Veiidic waters. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The '''''Tachystani Liberation Front''''' ('''''TLF''''') is a private mercenary organization and asset redistribution corporation created by [[Shrep Tach]] as a freelance nongovernmental peacekeeping force formed in 2143. Since then, the TLF has continually grown in strength through substantial donations from several anonymous donors, whom the Tachystanis refer to as the &amp;quot;merchants guild.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front operates on a strictly non-ideological mission structure, meaning it will take any job regardless of the client's affiliation or goals. Due to the broad range of potential clientele, the TLF provides a full range of military services, including combat, logistics, training, and manufacturing. Due to the non-discriminating method of job procurement, several governments have claimed the TLF is responsible for, including but not limited to, warcrimes, privateering, piracy, disruption of international trade routes, forced deportation, and slavery. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The TLF was the organization responsible for the Medsous terrorist attack of 2151, acquiring both the DC-12 airliner and sarin gas used in the attack that would ultimately claim the lives of an estimated 50,000 people. Despite threats of military intervention, Shrep Tach and other TLF leaders refused to disclose who had hired them. Despite the attack claiming the lives of thousands of residents of both [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]], during the [[Pike Agreement]] of 2152 between Desovo and Fortis, the TLF was formally cleared of all liability, and their license to operate within both countries was reinstated.&lt;br /&gt;
==Origins==&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front began as the Mamba Unit, founded by a former Laythian special forces soldier known only as &amp;quot;The Chief&amp;quot; at an unknown time, estimated to be in the 2120s. The Mamba unit would be involved in various military operations in South Veiid, operating on a similar model to the modern TLF, working with anyone so long as they provided adequate payment. The Chief was renowned for his innovative acquisition of military assets, and ability to ensure profit regardless of how dire the situation would become. At some point, The Chief would begin mentoring [[Shrep Tach]] as his protege and expected successor. &lt;br /&gt;
In 2143, The Chief died under unknown circumstances, and Shrep Tach took up the mantle as the leader of the Mamba Unit, ultimately reforming the organization as the Tachystani Liberation Front. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Modern TLF ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Tachbase=== &lt;br /&gt;
In 2160, the Tachystani Liberation Front began construction of an offshore mobile headquarters known as the &amp;quot;Tachbase, an industrial hub and barracks capable of supporting a large number of soldiers for extended periods of time aswell as store and service any equipment that may be needed for a military operation, aswell as the manufacture of new equipment as needed. As of now, the source of funds to build such a vast complex of military hardware remains unclear. All attempts to uncover the source of the funding have ultimately been fruitless, with the only publicly disclosed information being that construction would not have been possible without the support of the &amp;quot;merchants guild,&amp;quot; an as-yet unclear financial institution or group of donors.  &lt;br /&gt;
==Operational Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The modern Tachystani Liberation Front is organized into several different Regiments, each suited to different potential clientele based on price range and operational intent. &lt;br /&gt;

===Tachbase=== &lt;br /&gt;
In 2160, the Tachystani Liberation Front began construction of an offshore mobile headquarters known as the &amp;quot;Tachbase, an industrial hub and barracks capable of supporting a large number of soldiers for extended periods of time aswell as store and service any equipment that may be needed for a military operation, aswell as the manufacture of new equipment as needed. As of now, the source of funds to build such a vast complex of military hardware remains unclear. All attempts to uncover the source of the funding have ultimately been fruitless, with the only publicly disclosed information being that construction would not have been possible without the support of the &amp;quot;merchants guild,&amp;quot; an as-yet unclear financial institution or group of donors.  &lt;br /&gt;
==Operational Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The modern Tachystani Liberation Front is organized into several different Regiments, each suited to different potential clientele based on price range and operational intent. &lt;br /&gt;

==Criticisms of the TLF==&lt;br /&gt;
===Terrorism allegations===&lt;br /&gt;
Many have alleged the TLF is a terrorist organization due to its willingness to work for anyone and the unwillingness of the TLF to reveal client information, combined with the inability of purported clients that have been released to be verified as having signed a contract or even existing. On one occasion, although a client did step forward to claim accountability for armed intervention in a weapons manufacturing plant, the company that took responsibility was discovered to be a textiles factory that had filed for bankruptcy in the mid-2170s, roughly a decade before the attack, making the admission suspect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the continual allegations of uncontracted acts of violence, Shrep Tach maintains that all actions are taken at the discretion of customers and therefore do not fall within their purview of responsibility. Even if they claim responsibility for the action, all Tachystani contracts clearly state that the customer is responsible for all actions taken while under contract and, always right in matters of what actions to take, regardless of any societal or legal issues that may arise in the process of completing a contract. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Off the books military===&lt;br /&gt;
Among the criticisms leveled at the TLF, a common claim is that it acts as an unofficial government agency on behalf of various nations in Veiid, engaging in actions they do not wish to undertake personally. Critics claim that the TLF works on behalf of the Fortisian government, or one of the nations of the [[Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]], due in large part to the fact that several attacks are being executed on their soil for little to no repercussion against the TLF, despite continual promises to put an end to the &amp;quot;Tachystani menace&amp;quot;; ultimately, no significant action has been taken against the Tachystani liberation front. They are still permitted free access to Veiidic waters. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The '''''Tachystani Liberation Front''''' ('''''TLF''''') is a private mercenary organization and asset redistribution corporation created by [[Shrep Tach]] as a freelance nongovernmental peacekeeping force formed in 2143. Since then, the TLF has continually grown in strength through substantial donations from several anonymous donors, whom the Tachystanis refer to as the &amp;quot;merchants guild.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front operates on a strictly non-ideological mission structure, meaning it will take any job regardless of the client's affiliation or goals. Due to the broad range of potential clientele, the TLF provides a full range of military services, including combat, logistics, training, and manufacturing. Due to the non-discriminating method of job procurement, several governments have claimed the TLF is responsible for, including but not limited to, warcrimes, privateering, piracy, disruption of international trade routes, forced deportation, and slavery. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The TLF was the organization responsible for the Medsous terrorist attack of 2151, acquiring both the DC-12 airliner and sarin gas used in the attack that would ultimately claim the lives of an estimated 50,000 people. Despite threats of military intervention, Shrep Tach and other TLF leaders refused to disclose who had hired them. Despite the attack claiming the lives of thousands of residents of both [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]], during the [[Pike Agreement]] of 2152 between Desovo and Fortis, the TLF was formally cleared of all liability, and their license to operate within both countries was reinstated.&lt;br /&gt;
==Origins==&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front began as the Mamba Unit, founded by a former Laythian special forces soldier known only as &amp;quot;The Chief&amp;quot; at an unknown time, estimated to be in the 2120s. The Mamba unit would be involved in various military operations in South Veiid, operating on a similar model to the modern TLF, working with anyone so long as they provided adequate payment. The Chief was renowned for his innovative acquisition of military assets, and ability to ensure profit regardless of how dire the situation would become. At some point, The Chief would begin mentoring [[Shrep Tach]] as his protege and expected successor. &lt;br /&gt;
In 2143, The Chief died under unknown circumstances, and Shrep Tach took up the mantle as the leader of the Mamba Unit, ultimately reforming the organization as the Tachystani Liberation Front. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The '''''Tachystani Liberation Front''''' ('''''TLF''''') is a private mercenary organization and asset redistribution corporation created by [[Shrep Tach]] as a freelance nongovernmental peacekeeping force formed in 2143. Since then, the TLF has continually grown in strength through substantial donations from several anonymous donors, whom the Tachystanis refer to as the &amp;quot;merchants guild.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front operates on a strictly non-ideological mission structure, meaning it will take any job regardless of the client's affiliation or goals. Due to the broad range of potential clientele, the TLF provides a full range of military services, including combat, logistics, training, and manufacturing. Due to the non-discriminating method of job procurement, several governments have claimed the TLF is responsible for, including but not limited to, warcrimes, privateering, piracy, disruption of international trade routes, forced deportation, and slavery. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The TLF was the organization responsible for the Medsous terrorist attack of 2151, acquiring both the DC-12 airliner and sarin gas used in the attack that would ultimately claim the lives of an estimated 50,000 people. Despite threats of military intervention, Shrep Tach and other TLF leaders refused to disclose who had hired them. Despite the attack claiming the lives of thousands of residents of both [[Fortis]] and [[Desovo]], during the [[Pike Agreement]] of 2152 between Desovo and Fortis, the TLF was formally cleared of all liability, and their license to operate within both countries was reinstated.&lt;br /&gt;
==Origins==&lt;br /&gt;
The Tachystani Liberation Front began as the Mamba Unit, founded by a former Laythian special forces soldier known only as &amp;quot;The Chief&amp;quot; at an unknown time, estimated to be in the 2120s. The Mamba unit would be involved in various military operations in South Veiid, operating on a similar model to the modern TLF, working with anyone so long as they provided adequate payment. The Chief was renowned for his innovative acquisition of military assets, and ability to ensure profit regardless of how dire the situation would become. At some point, The Chief would begin mentoring [[Shrep Tach]] as his protege and expected successor. &lt;br /&gt;
In 2143, The Chief died under unknown circumstances, and Shrep Tach took up the mantle as the leader of the Mamba Unit, ultimately reforming the organization as the Tachystani Liberation Front. &lt;br /&gt;
== The Modern TLF ==&lt;br /&gt;
===Tachbase=== &lt;br /&gt;
In 2160, the Tachystani Liberation Front began construction of an offshore mobile headquarters known as the &amp;quot;Tachbase, an industrial hub and barracks capable of supporting a large number of soldiers for extended periods of time aswell as store and service any equipment that may be needed for a military operation, aswell as the manufacture of new equipment as needed. As of now, the source of funds to build such a vast complex of military hardware remains unclear. All attempts to uncover the source of the funding have ultimately been fruitless, with the only publicly disclosed information being that construction would not have been possible without the support of the &amp;quot;merchants guild,&amp;quot; an as-yet unclear financial institution or group of donors.  &lt;br /&gt;
==Operational Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
The modern Tachystani Liberation Front is organized into several different Regiments, each suited to different potential clientele based on price range and operational intent. &lt;br /&gt;

==Criticisms of the TLF==&lt;br /&gt;
===Terrorism allegations===&lt;br /&gt;
Many have alleged the TLF is a terrorist organization due to its willingness to work for anyone and the unwillingness of the TLF to reveal client information, combined with the inability of purported clients that have been released to be verified as having signed a contract or even existing. On one occasion, although a client did step forward to claim accountability for armed intervention in a weapons manufacturing plant, the company that took responsibility was discovered to be a textiles factory that had filed for bankruptcy in the mid-2170s, roughly a decade before the attack, making the admission suspect. &lt;br /&gt;
===Off the books military===&lt;br /&gt;
Among the criticisms leveled at the TLF, a common claim is that it acts as an unofficial government agency on behalf of various nations in Veiid, engaging in actions they do not wish to undertake personally. Critics claim that the TLF works on behalf of the Fortisian government, or one of the nations of the [[Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth]], due in large part to the fact that several attacks are being executed on their soil for little to no repercussion against the TLF, despite continual promises to put an end to the &amp;quot;Tachystani menace&amp;quot;; ultimately, no significant action has been taken against the Tachystani liberation front. They are still permitted free access to Veiidic waters. &lt;br /&gt;
