Siege of Sukanto (Mercbl)

The Siege of Sukanto was the term given to the assault on the Sukanto Tanoto Nuclear Power Plant by Malaysian and Rising Sun of Islam forces during the Battle of Nusantara. The siege lasted for 5 days from the 7th to the 12th of August 2045 before the plant was relived by Indonesian government forces. The defending force was comprised of a combination of the plant's private security force and members of the Indonesian police, and this became a rallying point for many Indonesians as a civilian force held out against professional soldiers. In particular, (Brigadier Police Chief) Ratna Bulan Indradjaja who was died from injuries sustained while successfully repelling a Malaysian assault, became a national hero across Indonesia.
==Background==
The Indonesian Civil War lasted from the years of 2043-2047 between the Indonesian government and the Rising Sun of Islam (RSI), supported by Malaysia. in August 2045, the RSI and Malaysia made a joint attack on the Indonesian capital of Nusantara. As part of the Battle of Nusantara, RSI and Malaysian forces attempted to seize important sections of infrastructure from the Indonesian government. One of the main targets was the Sukanto Tanoto Nuclear Power Plant which would have both cut off a large part of Nusantara from electricity and allowed the seizure of refined nuclear material from the power plant.
==Initial Assault==
The initial assault on the power plant began at 05:30 on the 7th of August, with Malaysian paratroopers approaching the plant from the Northwest, followed by both Malaysian and RSI forces who would help encircle the plant after making successful landings just south of the plant's position.
