OOC- Just making this thread cuz I don't want to necrotize the Sennari Civil War thread, which had stagnated a LONG time ago. Also, this is just set up for now. IC- For several months the Socotra Naval Base, the headquarters for the Dominion's Arabian Sea Fleet, had been retrofitted and refurbished, as hundreds of Dominion warships were stationed there fresh from the shipyards where they were built. A barracks was added to house the thousands of soldiers from across Zapht's empire who came with blood on the mind and war in the heart. Most outside the Dominion paid no attention of course, assuming that was merely how it was done in the stratocratic world state, and only a few could contemplate what they were doing if it was indeed odd. In fact, however, the massive build up had a goal. For months, it had become increasingly clear as to the strategic significance of the area, so close to both the Red Sea and several of the Dominion's adversaries. To help solidify this enviable position, as well as to create a larger foothold in Africa proper, Sennar was chosen. Long since collapsed in anarchy, the failed state had once been a vassal to the Veloryan Empire, itself having rotted away from social, economic and political stagnation. Thus, for the Dominion, the heart of which now sat in these lands, it was only natural that they should "inherit" the vassel state. All the Dominion needed now was an individual intelligent (or perhaps foolish) enough to see the benefits of being Zapht's new puppet. Once that final piece was in place, the people of Sennar would bow to the power of the World Military Dominion. Edited by Kasnyia, Aug 17 2008, 07:37 PM.

OOC- reread that more carefully, CNNP. The rest of the world has yet to know of the Dominion's interest in Sennar. They merely know that alot of ships are in Socotra. Oh, and Ul, you'll have to glance at the Mid East map, as it actually shows Socotra clearly. Its an island just south of the Arabian peninsula. Edited by Kasnyia, Aug 17 2008, 10:52 PM.

The 3rd, 22nd, and 19th Armies, having slowly been moved into position via landing craft near the island of Socotra, had kept in the shadows long enough for their invasion of the anarchy that was Sennar. As usual, the Pirates of the Lambda League were chartered out to make the preliminary attacks and assessments. 24 hours later, the entire coastline of Sennar came under attack at once by the Dominion Arabian Sea Fleet, officially to assist one of the factions that had called for assistance from the Dominion. And so began the third front. |

The Northern coast fell first and fell fast, with the only resistance to Dominion assault coming from the hinterlands. The southern coastline was more difficult due to the heavy militarization of the area. Nevertheless, the Dominion 3rd Army established a significant beackhead at the Horn itself. The operation was proceeding smoothly. |

There was no organized resistance yet, per se, but many tribes could be convinced that it was better to side with Paradise than the WMD. Mercenaries were also hired to begin guerrilla operations against the Dominion. EDIT: REMOVED FOR STUPID GODMODMANSHIP. MY B. Edited by A.Q., Oct 6 2008, 04:37 PM.

OOC: I guess if there is any Zeelari involvement I should be made aware at this point, please do so for this and other RPs. I'm not complaining about this now, but just for future reference since it's under my jurisdiction now. Please, continue :P |

OOC: well I can see nobody needs me to be in this RP... I'll just leave now... For those who do not know that post will need a retcon, I don't expect people to know the past happenings in sennar, but I DO expec people to at least ask me about the factions and their general locations AND city names. Mogadishu does not exist. In Sennar it is New Tyre. The Islamist factions are located NOT in the south but all along the west and interior of the country, they hold only a small city on the north coast. Other than that the North is in the hands of the "reigning government" under Aias Adonis. The South is in the control of the Southern Alliance who are NOT Islamic. They are an alliance of hindu's, jews, and other groups in the south. So if you are not shipping in your own roops and want to use Sennari proxies, talk to me. Otherwise get your nation involved officially. |

OOC- I tried reading the original civil war thread and got confused. Hence why I just made a generalized post of seizing coastline. But now that you have reminded me, lemme shoot off a PM to you. |

OOC: Alright, try this again. IC: Mujahideen started to trickle into Sennar to resist the infidels, mostly idealistic young men looking to fight the Dominion, but a good portion were battle-hardened African and Islamic mercenaries. Most converged on the central and northern regions of Sennar, where Islamist factions ruled supreme. Several Paradisian banks and a few shadowy individuals also started to donate to the cause and the Mujahideen found their coffers swelled by oil and arms money from the north. OOC: I plan to try again to do a character-RP in a separate thread, which I will link when I make it. Any better, Draxis? EDIT: LINK! Edited by A.Q., Oct 11 2008, 12:09 PM.
