Operation Huntsman (Sangunese: 猟師作戦 Ryōshi Sakusen) is a military operation by East Zimia and the Wallis Islands in northern Corum.

Background

Against the backdrop of the Wars of the Disinherited, the continued existence of a substantial unoccupied region between East Zimia and the Cakari riyasat of Jaihabar was a source of ongoing concern to the government in Southman. Hawks in the East Zimian and Wallisian War League, notably the league's Sangunese-born commander, General Tomiyuki Yamamura, pressed for a military operation to secure control of the area and its estimated population of around four million, lest the Confederacy of the Dispossessed establish a significant foothold in northern Corum. The apparent success of Oportia's Operation Verdant Reach in Eura between 1729 AN and 1730 AN saw a rise in public support for intervention, despite the misgivings of doves in the administration, who argued that a military action might provoke the very unrest it sought to prevent.

Planning

In early 1731 AN, Queen Mina II instructed her general staff to begin preparations for a military intervention in the unoccupied region, to be named Operation Huntsman. The decision was warmly received by senior officers of the War League, eager to test their forces' capabilities, although there was some dismay when it was subsequently announced that the operation would be limited in scope to the south-eastern third of the region. The principle objectives of the operation were set as the city of Afrikaania and Fort Pallisco.
