Hrasnitova, Malaras Sector

“The history of Oruznya could be summed up in one phrase: 'And then, things got worse.' At the turn of the last century, a violent revolution overthrew the decadent monarchy, executing the royal family and establishing a republic – albeit a tenuous and unstable one. Not long after that, the Oruznyan Civil War broke out which saw the nationalists deposed by a military-backed coup. They fled to form a government in exile in what is now the modern-day republic of Vrukar, and needless to say, relations between the two neighbors have remained frosty with neither side acknowledging the legitimacy of the other.

Thirty years ago, the current First Minister of Oruznya was elected to office, and simply never left. Since then, he's done everything he can to loot the nation's coffers, suppress the opposition, and consolidate power under himself – only stopping short of crowning himself king.

But it's plain to see that the nation's glory days are far behind them. Their economy is stagnant, their sphere of influence is shrinking, and their population is aging with a rapidly declining birth rate. So, it shouldn't have come as a surprise that they decided to launch a 'reunification' invasion of Vrukar in one last desperate bid for relevance. Hrasnitova's Assembly of Nations has almost unilaterally condemned this aggression and imposed economic sanctions on Oruznya, but can't get directly involved without the risk of dragging the entire world into an all-out war. That's where you come in.

Anvil Squadron has been hired to provide tactical air support for the Vrukarin armed forces, since their air power is vastly outdated and handily outclassed. But if you can close the sky over Vrukar, you'd give their ground troops some breathing room to operate and expel the Oruznyan invaders.”
