The Sathrati Emergency was an invasion scare in the Emirate of Sathrati when an intervention by the Imperial Forces to overturn the Protocols of Erudition and depose the Council of Sathrati was expected.

The crisis would see the Honourable Company go to considerable lengths to protect its long established investments in the region.

Overview of Sathrati preparations

In August 1730, rising tensions with the Imperial government in Raynor's Keep led the Council of Sathrati to issue a "Declaration of Preparedness" amid fears of an imminent Shirerithian intervention to overturn the Protocols of Erudition and depose the Council. This directive set in motion a series of defensive measures across the Sathrati islands.

The paramilitary and militia forces present in the islands were temporarily integrated into a unified "Combined Sathrati Forces" built around the command structure and hierarchy of the Jaysh al-Sathrati. Zurvanudin Miran al-Osman, an experienced military leader, was appointed overall commander of these forces which fell under the strategic control of the Southern Banner Group of Benacia Command.

To better coordinate the defence, each of the major islands - Amity, Mirioth, Yardistan, and Zy-Rodun - was designated as its own "Defence Sector" led by an appointed commandant. The two corps of the Jaysh al-Sathrati divided responsibilities, with the I Corps overseeing Yardistan and the II Corps managing the other three sectors.

Available military assets of the Jaysh were assigned to reinforce each of the sectors based on assessments by the high command. This included significant numbers of infantry, armoured cavalry, artillery, and air support units fanning out across strategic locations on the islands.

Civil defence measures were also implemented. All airports and ports were closed except those granted specific exemptions. The Sathrati Vanguard Corps, a paramilitary wing of a major political party, mobilised defence volunteer units in each local bailiwick to assist with patrols, static defence, and security missions.

Infernal machines were spotted being laid in the waters near Novi Nigrad, suggesting preparations for coastal defense as well. Meanwhile, a "peace camp" was established in the capital by pacifist centenarians, though authorities allowed this protest to proceed.

With forces moving into defensive positions and the islands effectively in lockdown, the Combined Sathrati Forces waited tensely through 1730.
