In early 1692 AN, the 51st Territorial Defence Division of the Union Defence Force, deployed in Hurmu as part of the Allied Reconstruction Mission in Hurmu, was amongst the Elwynnese forces to join the rebellion against the Court of the Princess. In accordance with international norms, the government of Hurmu was obliged to demand that the mutinous Elwynnese troops surrender their arms and accept internment for the duration of hostilities in their home country. The refusal of the 51st Division, having now transferred its allegiance to the Self-Defence Forces of Elwynn and Amokolia, to accede to this demand precipitated a diplomatic crisis that threatened the neutrality, security, and territorial integrity of the newly independent Hurmu nation.

The spread of the mutinies in Elwynn soon reached the UDF garrisons in the Southern District of Hurmu, with news reaching the Hurmu authorities of loyalist UDF officers being forcibly detained by the rebellious soldiery, scuffles breaking out of inside the cantonments of the 51st Division, and the expulsion of Raspur Pact officers from joint missions which the Elwynnese troops had been participating. Tentatively it was decided, on the night of 18.III.1692, that a delegation of the Senate and the Cabinet, headed Plenipotentiary Jan Spiik and Minister Ty Zem, would be dispatched to confirm the reports of the defection and to negotiate the internment of the defecting troops if this proved to be the case.
