History of the Konigserker-Sarrasen Conflict
0000 F.E.Shortly after the initialization of the Co-Aligned Planets, the Konigserker and Sarrasen governments formed a close relationship as two constitutional democracies with similar levels of technology and similar industrial development.
0003 F.E.The KSR adapts to new technology much faster than the Sarrasens. In the interests of sharing technological and industrial advancements, the Sarrasens approve the construction of a KRA base near the Stargate.
0005 F.E.Oliver Base is completed 2 km from the Stargate and the first duty detachments arrive.
0005 F.E. - 0009 F.E.Soldiers from Oliver Base quickly gain a reputation for being rowdy and crude, but remain manageable and are tolerated for the considerable business revenue they produce. Oliver Base becomes the center of a somewhat disreputable suburban area.
During this time, KRA advisers work closely with their Sarrasen military counterparts, discussing weaponry, tactics, equipment, and logistics. This includes tours around the Sarrasen planet to experience the different fighting environments they might have to engage in.
1/1/0010 F.E.While celebrating New Year's in a local bar, an unknown KRA soldier is involved in an altercation resulting in the deaths of two local Sarrasen men. The soldier returns to Oliver Base.
12/1/0010 F.E.The KRA refuses to extradite on the grounds that barfight deaths are not criminal in the KSR.
2/0000 F.E. - 5/0000 F.E.Sarrasen courts try and convict an unnamed KRA soldier
in absentia. Following the conviction, the Sarrasen government again requests extradition. Their request is refused.
20/10/0010 F.E.Local Sarrasen military and police attempt to forcible take a KRA soldier into custody by storming Oliver Base. They are gunned down on-base.
1/12/0010 F.E.Sarras Miklagarther officially declares open war on the Konigserker Republic when the KSR again refuses extradition. In the next 24 hours, the KRA seizes the Stargate and establishes a perimeter around it and Oliver Base.
0010 F.E. - 0015 F.E.Fairly even battles between Konigserker and Sarrasen forces. Konigserker reinforcements from the Stargate give the Konigserker the impetus to slowly expand to an 8 km radius around the gate. Oliver Base is expanded to that perimeter. Fighting includes the taking and slaughter of Sarrasen civilian hostages, though the KSR officially denies this.
4/5/0015 F.E.Completion of Oliver Base's eight underground missile silos. First launch destroys Sarrasen communications satellite. Next launch takes out Sarrasen surveillance satellite over Oliver Base. Remaining silos launch
MIRV nuclear strikes on population centers in the opposite hemisphere.
0015 F.E. - 0017 F.E.16 additional multi-warhead missiles destroy satellite networks, urban and industrial centers, military bases, and government centers. Oliver Base also begins to launch their own communications and navigation satellite network.
19/7/0017 F.E.The final series of nuclear launches from Oliver Base targets the Sarrasen capital city.
30/11/0017 F.E.Official surrender of Sarras Miklagarther to the Konigserker Republic. Though the KSR officially accepts this surrender and missile strikes cease, the KRA continues operations, seeking out and eliminating the remaining Sarrasen population.
0020 F.E.Official end of the Konigserker campaign on Sarras Miklagarther, though military action on the planet continues as teams continue search and destroy operations.
