Jalfxian Liberty War

The Jalfxian Liberty War was a multi-regional armed conflict that erupted when the Bor'faach monarchy of Jalfxia attempted to forcibly deport over one hundred thousand former Gacawy citizens from its eastern borders. With some governments declaring tantamount to genocide, several foreign powers intervened to stop the deportation, including Buwa'aguza, Gacawy, and Kalubio. Personnel from Famaselle and Kikikoa were also deployed, though mostly as peacekeeping operatives instead of combatants.

## Jalfxian Liberty War

### Performers

Regional Ultimate Accord of Colanexa, Bor'faach Empire

### Location

Island-region of Jalfxia

The war was officially considered over in 1949 with the deaths of several imperial higher-ups, including Empress Anolea Bor’faach. Negotiated treaties guaranteed the continued presence of Gacawys citizens (who were predominantly Kalu-bloods) on Jalfxia, and imposed restrictions of the authority of the Dragonia over them and overall. Following the collapse of the Bor'faach monarchy, a clan tribunal was established to govern, featuring mostly Dragonia but also some Kalu-bloods. Several radical factions would go on to secede and continue to instill violence against opponents, with some even travelling abroad to conduct foreign terrorism. Kalu-blooded socio-political figures and their associates are especially at risk. The effects of the war are still felt throughout Jalfxia in present-day.

Indirectly, the war is considered one of the catalysts for the Kalubian Revolution of 1975, where the Luvvar monarchy was deposed, as well as the First Kalubian Civil War where Jalfxian mercenaries participated in attacks against the Reformist Alliance.

## Background and Causes

Following the rapid dissolution of the Gacawy Empire, many settlers who had previously moved to Jalfxia were not given enough notice to move and were thus stranded. While initially their presence was met with neutrality, with time resent began to grow towards the Gacawy remnants that had tainted the absolute rule of the Bor'faach monarchy. This was especially exasterbated with expansion of the rival Buwaguzan Empire (present-day Buwa'aguza) on the southwest continent.

Anti-Gacawy and anti-Kalu sentiments began exponentially escalating by the early 1940s. The empress of the island-region, Anolea Bor'faach, resolved to attempt to deport the former Gacawy residents to alleviate the violence, as well as to expand Bor'faach control. The former Gacawys citizens strongly opposed this motion and called her refusal to instead address the targeted violence of her Dragonia subjects. When protests were met with violent suppression from Bor'faach loyalists and the deportation commenced, Jalfxia was panned by REgional Ultimate Accord of Colanexa (RUAC) officials for its harsh conduct. After evidnece of a Gacawys village being slaughtered was brought to light, RUAC determined that active intervention would be necessary to both subdue the Bor'faach monarchy and to prevent additional bloodshed.

## Timeline

### Early Developments (1947-1948)

Among the first foreign personnel to deploy were KFAF and Buwaguzan troops, including Darrel Müller, Helen Rodenski, and Faenzha and Facorin Meiawkif. Kalubian Führer Johann Luvvar was eager for a swift allied victory to boost plummeting Kalubian morale and reaffirm their status as a military power.

When initial support remained limited in Kalubio, a covert smear operation was undertaken in which KFAF units massacred another village and blamed it on the Bor'faach monarchy as ethnic cleansing. Müller, who participated in the massacre, would become disillusioned with Kalubian governing and was deeply affected by these events.

### Extended War (1948-1949)

The war continued to ravage civilian life in contested territory, with boundaries shifting rapidly because of unorthodox attacks and quickly-mobilizing forces. The Dragonia loyalists were incredibly strong and resilient, often requiring heavy fire just to neutralize small quantities. The allied forces, especially the Kalubians, were masters of strategic warfare and martial combat.

Eventually, loyalist numbers began to dwindle and the Bor'faach forces started to collapse under sustained pressure. By early 1949, they were pushed back to the Bor'faach capital, which was laid under months of siege by RUAC. In a final stand, the loyalists, including Anolea Bor'faach herself, broke the siege and took on RUAC in a full-scale battle. Kalubian forces would break the loyalist line and reach Bor'faach from her command post, where she would be ultimately slain by Darrel Müller in single combat. After her death, much of her surviving cabinet committed suicide or fled, effectively ending Bor'faach influence in Jalfxia and thus, the war.

### Aftermath (1949-present day)

Following the death of Empress Anolea Bor'faach at the hands of KFAF soldiers, her loyalists scattered and went into hiding. Some gave up the pursuit of Jalfxian glory, while others such as Marko Marachkii Whiksi sought revenge against RUAC, and specifically Kalubio and Gacawy. For his role in the conflict, Johann Luvvar appointed Müller as the Kalubian ambassador to the RUAC council, based out of Tropai, Schremoqueil Unional. Müller was the first Kalubian Kalu-blood to hold this position, and one of the first since the establishment of the Luvvar regime to hold any high-level office. He would remain there until his death in a Gamian blitzkrieg strike in 1971.
