Operation Salvation is the code-name of a Ransenari-led multinational force which currently operates in the former Verionist territory of Elsenar in Benacia. After the Verionist Great Disaster, the Ransenari Congress voted to authorize the Ransenari armed forces, with the assistance of Shirerithian and Raspur Pact advisers, to enter Elsenar to restore order and achieve common humanitarian goals.

Operation Salvation is charged with establishing order in Elsenar, and creating a stable and protected environment for conducting large scale humanitarian operations, which include medical and scientific missions.

On 13.III.1677, the government of Ransenar declared an end to official peacekeeping and order restoration operations, with the inauguration of the newly restored county and local governments.

Background

Faced with a large scale biological, radioactive, and humanitarian disaster in Elsenar, exacerbated by a complete breakdown in civil order, Lord High Steward Sean O'Callaghan discussed with the Government of Ransenar establishing a plan in concert with the Imperial Regency in Shirekeep to accomplish common humanitarian and security goals in the area.

The plan was sent to the Ransenari Congress for consideration, where it received large support from Congress in hopes that the mission could secure a national goal with Ransenari unification. The resolution passed and was signed by the Lord High Steward on 9.I.1676. The resolution has given the Government of Ransenar power to employ action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to restore and maintain peace and security."

Agreements for food, medicine, and medical care distribution began to be established with communities and groups of survivors that were formed across Elsenar soon after passage of the resolution in the Ransenari Congress.

Operation Salvation served as the base for a larger state-building and Ransenari unification initiative spearheaded by the government of Lord High Steward Sean O'Callaghan and Goldfield. Agreements between Shireroth and the Kingdom of Ransenar gave way to official recognition of Ransenari unification.

Results

• Ransenari unification;
• Mass seizure of leftover Verionist assets, infrastructure;
• Series of mob-led pogroms that led to the murder of Verionist sympathizers and accomplices across Ransenar, government had to crack down on the murders and re-establish peace (but of course, not before almost all Verionists were pressured into exile or outright murdered);
• Dissolution of the Ransenari Congress in 1677 following the approval of the Local Government Act and the new seat apportionment numbers integrating Elsenar into the Congress;
• Plan of National Reconstruction
• 1677 Ransenari general election
