Norasht campaign

Following the disappointing outcome of Operation Jungle Bolo, launched by Trans-Euran Command against the Eastern Eura Trade Association in 1717 AN, the Raspur Pact was obliged to focus on consolidating its limited gains, namely the captured port of Zinjibar, whilst stabilising the frontier as fighting continued around the city of Norasht. The Military of the Suren Confederacy was withdrawn from combat operations in 1718 AN in order to reorganise and re-equip. As this process was expected to take up to three years to complete, the frontier, unsettled by the invasion and the rise of the Confederacy of the Dispossessed, was placed under the charge of the Constancian-led Allied Mission in the Suren Confederacy and a collection of paramilitary forces drawn from across the member-states of the Euran Economic Union.

Whilst the manufacturing capacity and bottomless manpower reserves of the Raspur Pact could eventually crush the piratical Confederacy of the Dispossessed in a deluge of wartime production, there would be an interim period of potentially several years where the Suren Confederacy was vulnerable to a counteroffensive from the Green. Thus the Norasht campaign would have to be fought, at least in its initial stages, as a defensive operation focused upon consolidation and holding.
