Operation Cobalt Canyon was a limited offensive launched by the Surenid Armed Forces, overseen by the Trans-Euran Command of the Raspur Pact, in the sixth month of 1733 AN with the objective of clearing Zinjibar of the rebel lords and their retinues before driving a wedge between Azad Eura and the Confederacy of the Dispossessed, thereby to prevent their further cooperation in the Norasht Ostan. Notably four Benacian legates were dispatched to the Suren Confederacy to organise and oversee the offensive. which would be conducted by I Corps of the Surenid Armed Forces.
I Corps, comprising of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Divisions, along with the 6th Artillery Division, was organised along lines typical for forces of the Raspur Pact, albeit trained by Florian instructors during the period of their initial formation after the Norasht campaign. Although unsettled by the wave of defections which had followed the Bitter Spring IN 1731 AN and the succession crisis of 1731 AN, the regiments attached to I Corps had not experienced anything like the wave of mutinies which had initially been feared. Whilst garrisoned on the Norasht frontier, the corps had nonetheless been left in a vulnerable position by the defection of the satrapan government in Norasht Ostan to the rebel cause. The threat of rebel forces to their rear at a time when faced by renewed attacks by forces loyal to the Confederacy of the Dispossessed had ultimately obliged the withdrawal of I Corps and its constituent divisions before they were all isolated and picked off in detail. The defection of Zjand Basseri to the rebel cause further complicated the retreat, and by the fifteenth month of 1732 AN, the corps had retired almost to the very gates of Surenshahr.
