 The **Invasion of Belitung** was a Libirachi campaign during the Has Wars between September 2020 and May 2021 in which the Libirachi Empire succeeded in toppling the Bovido Hassian capital city of Makassar and capturing, and later executing, the Bovido Emperor Damal Clod. As one of the most important events of the war, the campaign saw the fall of Makassar to Libirachi forces and the surrender and dissolution of Bovido Has on May 15, 2021, leaving only a few scattered remnants of the once superpower nation, which would ultimately go through infighting and the Bovido Hassian Contingency before merging with ST Joseph's Devotees to become the Bovido Imperium in 2028, some 7 years later.

With the death of Omar Jude on June 24, the Emperor of Bovido Has sought vengeance upon the Libirachi Empire for ordering the death of the leader of their military and began collecting plans for an invasion of The Libirachi Empire. On July 4, the 1st Bovido Mainland Army Core, under the command of Nicholas Eli, launched a flotilla of ships consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Rightful,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Shimokita* and a collection of unnamed *Martadinata* class frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers and a contingent of 500,000 LHA soldiers. The fleet began its journey towards invasion at 12:30 (4:30 GMT) when they crossed into the South Libirachi Sea and immediately came into combat against the Imperial Naval Legion's 7th Fleet (consisting of the *Type 051B* destroyers *Castan, Loger, Kallus* and *Shanghai Fall,* the *Type 055* destroyers *New Dawn, Beijing Lord VI* and *Nanchang,* the *Wasp class* assault craft *President Zuma* and several Escort Frigates), under the control of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The ensuing conflict at the Parcel Islands saw the destruction of 3 *Martadinata* class frigates, whilst only one Libirachi escort frigate was sunk. Acknowledging defeat, General Eli ordered Admiral Fui to begin a retreat around the Libirachi Seas and was swiftly followed by the 7th Fleet who perused Eli's forces relentlessly for the next 5 weeks as they made their way towards Japan Has.

Upon arriving at Fukuoka, the Bovido fleet was bombarded by Thrawn's fleet, inflicting severe damage upon the *Rightful* and killing hundreds of soldiers who were infected by a disease making its way around the 14th Holy Navy Pacific Division. As such, the Eli's division merged with the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Adamar Koon, and together they pushed Thrawn's 7th Fleet back to Dongying, where the Bovido fleet continued to assault them, whilst a landing party overran the city of Tianjin, destroying the local militia. Having marched through Tianjin, the Bovido forces marched onwards, approaching the Beijing suburbs by August 25, in which a series of large scale battles would see the Bovido forces temporarily seize control of the outskirts of Beijing and even hold the Libirachi president hostage for a week. However, after meeting fierce resistance for several weeks on the outskirts of Beijing, surviving Bovido forces retreated to the stronghold island of Heren which had been liberated from Obadiah forces after the Fall of Viet Has.

Unbeknown to them, the Libirachi Imperial Army had begun preparing for an invasion of the Bovido capital island and launched its forces on September 24th, in a snide nod to the date Omar Jude was assassinated. The invasion fleet made quick work of the Bovido Holy Navy at Port Tuing, but the combined forces of the Holy Angels and Nameless halted the invasion 20 miles short of Kamass where the two armies participated in minor skirmishes until the Libirachi Army broke through the Bovido line on November 12th and begun the march towards Makassar. The Libirachi forces quickly made their way into the bombed out town of Kammas on November 20th and set up the ruins of the once proud town as their command base.

While the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army was making gains on land, the 7th Naval Legion Fleet under the command of Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn began to engage the 3rd Bovido Pacific Fleet (consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Obadiah,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Ōsumi* and a collection of unnamed *Martadinata* class frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers from the Bovido Mainland Defence Force Holy Hammer Regiment) under the command of High Admiral Gabriel Toomes, while the 3rd Pacific Fleet was patrolling the Makassar Strait. Having forced the Bovido fleet into a retreat, Grand Admiral Thrawn bombarded Admiral Toomes' fleet into a soldering wreak and gained temporary naval control of the island of Belitung.

Meanwhile, on land the 2nd Occupation Army made their way through Kamass and had begun preparations for an invasion of the Bovido capital from a base only 50 miles south of Makassar's suburb region. In a campaign that lasted until March 20th 2021, the Libirachi forces slugged their way through line upon line of Bovido soldiers and citizens alike, all determined to prevent Libirachi forces from taking over their capital. Despite being largely inefective in their efforts, the willingness of the Bovido citizens to die for their emperor proved a difficult challenge for the Libirachi forces, who had to trudge through the Makassar marshes continuously under assault from one side or another. Finally making it into the outskirts of the city, the Occupation army proceeded to make base in Bullertown (named after the deceased Emperor Hagreev Buller, although occasionally used in reference to his son, Hazael Buller) and used it to attack the Bovido capital, reigning terror down upon the citizens of Makassar.

## Invasion of Belitung

### Prelude

#### Bovido Invasion of the Libirachi Empire

On July 4, the 1st Bovido Mainland Army Core, under the command of Nicholas Eli, launched a flotilla of ships consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Rightful,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Shimokita* and a collection of unnamed *Martadinata* class frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers and a contingent of 500,000 LHA soldiers. The fleet began its journey towards invasion at 12:30 (4:30 GMT) when they crossed into the South Libirachi Sea and immediately came into combat against the 7th Naval Legion Fleet (consisting of the *Type 051B* destroyers *Castan, Loger, Kallus* and *Shanghai Fall,* the *Type 055* destroyers *New Dawn, Beijing Lord VI* and *Nanchang,* the *Wasp class* assault craft *President Zuma* and several Escort Frigates), under the control of Grand Admiral Thrawn. The two forces collided on the shore of the Parcel Islands, a former Bovido territory (1895 - 2005) until it gained independence as an impartial peace keeping force in the Pacific. Under the watch of Rithnuro Thrawn, the Libirachi forces quickly began laying waste to Bovido ships, launching an almost continuous volley of shells towards the Bovido fleet, whilst employing Type 92 submarines to sink approaching reinforcements for the christian nation, forcing them into a retreat towards the city of Fukuoka in Japan Has, all the while Thrawn pursued them with his 7th Fleet.

    Upon retreating from the Parcel Islands, the combined 14th HN Pacific Division and 1st Bovido Mainland Army Core forces began setting a route to the Bovido stronghold in Fukuoka after the 7th Naval Legion outflanked them, preventing a course back to the Bovido mainland and forcing them out into Libirachi controlled seas. While the main bulk of the Bovido force was held on the *Rightful,* lots of important supplies were lost with the sinking of 7 *Martadinata* frigates, meaning that the *Rightful* would soon run out of essentials like food and clean water. As such, Captain Solomon Fui permitted an emergency assault on the Libirachi flagship *New Dawn*, which saw an elite team of Nameless soldiers infiltrate the *Type 055* Destroyer via the supply ducts, and then attack the engine room. However, the forces were apprehended by Thrawn's personal Special Forces Commandos and were taken to the command deck, where the Libirachi Command was having a virtual meeting using the nation's state calling system. Upon the arrival of Thrawn and his prisoners, Fleet Admiral Kallus (who has his command located upon the aptly named *Kallus*) called the *Rightful* in an unusual manner, using Skype, to inform them of their failed plan and then the summary execution of the captured soldiers.

After the incident aboard the *New Dawn*, the Bovido forces were trapped without supplies and eventually began to experience waves of soldiers dying from the brutal conditions, whilst the Libirachi fleet bombarded the aircraft destroyer *Rightful* with the full force of the 7th Fleet. In a desperate humanitarian plea, Nathaniel Eli demanded that the Bovido Fleet be allowed to dock at Fukuoka to unload its dead and ill soldiers, before returning back to its base in the Makassar. This request was granted and on August 5, the *Rightful* and its fleet docked at HNL Fuku, escorted by the *Kallus* and *Loger.* As the unloading process was underway, the two Type 051B destroyers opened fire upon the escort frigates containing the injured and dead soldiers, sinking both and killing all on-board. With the loss of 5 more frigates, the fleet was at a terrible loss and was only saved by the deployment of the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet to aid Eli's bombarded forces. Under the command of Vice Admiral Koon, the Pacific fleet quickly pushed the Libirachi forces back into the East Libirachi Sea. This set the stage for a daring last minute assault on the Libirachi capital of Beijing in a desperate attempt to end the war.

#### Battle of Beijing

Following the disastrous Retreat from the South Libirachi Sea, the 14th Bovido Holy Navy Pacific Division was left in a dire state, with its flagship *Rightful* having sustained severe damage from Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet, and a greatly diminished task force crew after a bout of illness on-board the fleet's major ships. Whilst docked in Fukuoka, General Nathaniel Eli transferred his command to the *Dormancy*, the sister ship of the Rightful, and begun compiling forces for the planned invasion of Libirachi. However, after being forced up towards Japan, the fleet was in no position to invade from the South Libirachi Sea, and instead plans were drawn up for a desperate attack on the Libirachi capital of Beijing, using the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet under the command of Adamar Koon to reinforce Eli's fleet. The new 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet (consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Dormancy,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Shimokita,* the Type 42 destroyers *Witch Hunter, Heavenly,* *Rightful II* and *Glory* and the *Martadinata* class frigates *Samiel, Damal, Buller III, Ezra IV, Despair* and 20 unnamed frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers and a contingent of 700,500 LHA soldiers) began prepping for invasion and launched on August 19 with a quick assault up the Yellow Sea, through to the Bohai Sea, where they once again encountered Grand Admiral Thrawn's 7th Fleet, although with the extra re-enforcements gained on the island of Fukuoka, the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet began a serious battle, forcing Thrawn to retreat towards Beijing as Nathaniel Eli pushed forwards with superior numbers and using a new form of D-16 torpedoes to sink several *Jiangkai II* class escort frigates and inflict structural damage upon the *Nanchang* and *Loger*.

With damage to Thrawn's fleet forcing a further retreat to Dongying, the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet began a landing at Tianjin where the local militia (10 *FV721 Fox* armored reconnaissance vehicles, 2 T-80 battle tanks and a garrison of 200 First Legion soldiers), lead by Xi Bojing, was subdued after a 6 day fight in the streets of Tianjin, with the Bovido forces only having taken 134 casualties, and began the march towards the outskirts of Beijing. Upon arrival in the city, the Bovido forces encountered fierce resistance from locals and the First Legion, who inflicted major casualties upon the invading forces through the usage of improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails, whilst the First Legion attempted to force the Bovido army back through the use of T-14 battle tanks. However, the Bovido forces pushed through, and by August 30, had full control over the eastern outskirts of Beijing, and in an unprecedented wartime effort, managed to capture the President of the Libirachi Empire, Xi Jimping, in an assault on the Beijing International Sports Exchange Promotion Association facility in Fuyuanzhuang village, where the president was giving a commemorative speech, unaware that the Bovido forces had pushed that deep into Beijing. The lack of knowledge on the invasion was due to a Hǔnluàn infiltration in the Homeland Security Agency, which allowed for all reports of an invasion to be deleted from Libriachi databases in an attempt to de-stablilize the Empire. With half-an-hour's intense fighting, the facility was overrun and the President was held captive by a team of Nameless forces. With renewed resolve, the First Legion began an increased repulsion of Bovido forces and, using local organized malitas and people's rebellions, managed to fight off the Bovido forces from the continent and back onboard their flotilla after 13 days worth of combat. Having been repeled from the Libirachi Empire, the Bovido forces attempted to flee the area on their ships, but the 7th Naval Legion fleet led by Grand Admiral Thrawn blocked them off and destroyed the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet at Beihuangcheng Island, and rescued the President from onboard the *Dormancy,* before it was sunk by the *President Zuma.* The remnants of the fleet attempted to flee, but were quickly mowed down by the *Type 055* Destroyer escort. Among the prisoners taken, Nathaniel Eli and Adamar Koon were the most high ranking, and were transferred to a secure prison in Imperial Iran.

### Battle at Port Tuing

After the failed Bovido Invasion of the Libirachi Empire, the Imperial High Command and Libirachi Joint Chiefs demanded revenge upon Damal Clod and his regime and commissioned Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn and his 7th Fleet to begin an invasion of Belitung. Joining Thrawn was General Fang Torrent and his 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army, which boarded into 3 *Wasp* class AASs over the period September 20 - 24th, launching from Shanghai on the 24th and crossed into Bovido territory on September 26th after passing through Obadiah seas unnoticed. Using the cover of night, the 7th Fleet (comprising of *Type 051B* destroyers *Castan, Kallus* and *Shanghai Fall,* the *Type 055* destroyers *New Dawn* and *Beijing Lord VI,* the *Wasp class* assault craft *President Zuma, Regent of the Sea, Golliath* and the *Nǚwáng* class aircraft carrier *Supremacy* alongside several unnamed Escort Frigates) snuck into the Bay of Tuing, having taken out 4 *Hayabusa* class patrol boats successfully along the way. Upon arriving near the shore of the relatively unpopulated southern tip of Belitung, the *Supremacy* launched a first wave of bombers which deployed bombs into the nearby Port Tuing where the 1st Homeland Defence Fleet was docked for the evening, sinking 6 out of the 7 anchored *Type 42* destroyers and the aircraft carrier *Rightful* which had been sailed back from Japan for essential repairs after The Retreat from the South Libirachi Sea. With this brazen assault, the local Holy Hammer forces deployed rapidly to shoot down the *Xian H-6*s and their *Chengdu J-20* escort. Despite their best efforts, only 2 J-20s were shot down and the Bovido *Shenyang FC-31*s were quickly destroyed by artillery fire from the 7th Fleet. The 7th Fleet then approached the Port and sinking the remaining *Type 42* destroyer as it attempted to flee the island, the Libirachi Fleet landed at Tuing. With *Chengdu J-20*s taking air superiority with the destruction of the local HH forces, the three *Wasp* AAS deployed their crews and began their break for Makassar on the 28th of September.

Within a days march through the Bovido jungles, the 2nd Occupation Army came across Bovido emplacements designed to halt the Libirachi forces. These emplacements were commanded by Captain Sumar Tang, leader of the Bovido Defence Force for Belitung and Makassar, and his forces managed to halt the Libirachi Empire 20 miles short of Kamass thanks to assistance from the Nameless. Under command of Cpatian Tang, the Bovido forces repelled the 2nd Occupation Army repeatedly, holding their ground for 45 days until the Libirachi forces began dropping biological weapons on the emplacements, causing carnage and allowing the Army Core to break through the Bovido lines on November 12. With Bovido forces retreating to Kamass, the Sky Core Regiment of the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army set up an air base in the ruins of the Bovido encampments, using the fallen structures as cover for their command centre. While the Occupation Army began marching towards Makassar, the Sky Core launched waves of *Chengdu J-20*  air superiority fighters to clear Bovido Holy Hammer air forces away from the 2nd OA, whilst a squadron of experimental *Xi'an JH-7X* bombers layed waste to Bovido reinforcements attempting to aid the Mainland Defence Force. Upon arriving at Kamass on November 20, the Libirachi forces found a city devoid of military personnel and much of the former metropolis lay in ruins with indiscriminate attacks killing civilians and soldiers alike.

### Battle of the Makassar Strait

While the 2nd Libirachi Occupation Army was making headway on the island of Belitung, the 7th Naval Legion Fleet had broken away from Port Tuing and began to approach the Makassar Strait, where the rival 3rd Bovido Pacific Fleet (consisting of the *Kuznetsov* class aircraft carrier *Obadiah,* the *Ōsumi*class landing craft *Ōsumi* and a collection of unnamed *Martadinata* class frigates, backed up by a division of Holy Hammer *Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit* bombers from the Bovido Mainland Defence Force Holy Hammer Regiment) under the command of High Admiral Gabriel Toomes, while the 3rd Bovido Pacific Fleet was patrolling their territory, unaware of the landing at Port Tuing. After approaching the Strait, which is the only sensible means of oversea passage to the city of Makassar from the southern tip of the island, the 3rd BPF noticed the Libirachi Fleet and immediately opened fire on the *Supremacy* inflicting mild structural damage on the command ship of Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn, but succeeded in initially deterring the Libirachi forces. Not being a person to surrender, Thrawn began a second assault on the Bovido Fleet, and used a squadron of experimental *Xi'an JH-7X* bombers and *Chengdu J-20* air superiority fighters to attack the *Ōsumi* and several of the *Martadinata* class frigates protecting the *Obadiah*, while the *Type 055* Destroyers *New Dawn* and *Beijing Lord IV* assaulted the Bovido aircraft carrier. In defence, the 6 prototype *Martadinata-Heavy* class frigates escorting the *Obadiah* utilised their heavy weaponry and torpedo silos to sink both the *New* *Dawn* and *Goliath,* although the *Xi'an JH-7X* bombers destroyed the MH-01, MH-03, MH-04 and MH-05 *Martadinata-Heavy* frigates within the hour through the usage of next generation bombing technology and depth charges. With the loss of its heavy escort, the MH-02, Obadiah, *Ōsumi* and the remaining standard *Martadinata* class frigates began a retreat from the southern strait to regroup, but were closely followed by Thrawn's fleet who continued bombarding the Bovido Fleet as they retreated. Within hours, the *Ōsumi* had sustained severe damage to its hull and engines and began to float behind the rest of the 3rd Bovido Pacific Fleet, and became the target of Supremacy's heavy cannons, sinking the landing craft and its Holy Army deployment. In a repeat of the Retreat from the South Libirachi Sea, Grand Admiral Thrawn's fleet followed the retreating Bovido fleet, bombarding it relentlessly as High Admiral Toomes fled the site of the battle.

### Siege of Makassar

    Having taken Kamass, the 2nd Occupation Army took up residence within the fallen city and began to set up base in the city stadium. Using the local populace as slave labour, General Fang Torrent established a staging point for the upcoming assault on the city of Makassar, with runways and barracks for his soldiers. On December 15, the 2nd Occupation Army began its first push towards the Christian capital, using air strikes as cover and advancing with a barrage of artillery fire attacking the Bovido emplacements. Employing the brute force of the Occupation Army, General Torrent began the march north, but encountered the first in a series of challenges on their journey; hordes of civilian-soldiers who were throwing their lives down to protect their leaders, whilst the Lord's Holy army struggled to cease its bitter infighting to protect their Emperor and Archbishop. Whilst the Libirachi forces began their trudge towards Makassar, Emperor Damal Clod of Bovido Has and his Clergy counterpart Archbishop Syli Dean began attempting to raise the largest people's army the world had ever seen, turning its civilians into living weapons, both through the usage of Kamikaze tactics (turning pilots and their aircraft into bombs) and masses of civilians acting as a barrier between the advancing army and the Bovido leadership. Meeting secretly within the Lord's War Council room, the Archbishop began enacting contingency plans for his own escape whilst the Emperor refused to budge, a mistake that would cost many lives in the later stages of the siege. As the War Council deliberated and fractional infighting make ruin of the Bovido battle plans, Archbishop Dean begun his final contingency - evacuation to Japan Has along with a slimmed down version of the War Council within a period of 6 months to allow for necessary preparations and other departments to move as well.

    Meanwhile, in a campaign that lasted until March 20th 2021, the Libirachi 2nd Occupation Army slugged their way through line upon line of Bovido soldiers and citizens alike, all determined to prevent Libirachi forces from taking over their capital. Despite being largely inefective in their efforts, the willingness of the Bovido citizens to die for their emperor proved a difficult challenge for the Libirachi forces, who had to trudge through the Makassar marshes continuously under assault from one side or another. Finally making it into the outskirts of the city, the Occupation army proceeded to make base in Bullertown (named after the deceased Emperor Hagreev Buller, although occasionally used in reference to his son, Hazael Buller) and used it to attack the Bovido capital, reigning terror down upon the citizens of Makassar. Setting up a new forward base in Bullertown, the Occupation Army under General Torrent began bombarding the city over a three month period, eliminating all military installations within the city, leaving the Bovido leadership vunerable, whilst Libirachi Sky Core pilots dominated the sky, making it impossible for escape from the city in any direction, thanks to assistance from the 7th Naval Legion Fleet commanded by Grand Admiral Rithnuro Thrawn who had finally finished wiping out the 4th Bovido Pacific Fleet in the Makassar Strait.

    Having surrounded the capital island, the net tightened on the Bovido Emperor Damal Clod, who had refused to even plan an escape route for his total confidence in the stability and strength of his defences, whilst Archbishop Syli Dean was laying out the final preparations in his evacuation plan, although the invasion had taken him by surprise. By May 12th 2021, the capital city of Makassar had fallen to the Libirachi Empire and the 2nd Occupation Army was flushing out remnants and the War Council who had fled from their government building, although the Libirachi blockade meant they couldn't escape, and were found alongside Emperor Damal Clod in the Makassar Spire, the tallest building in the city and the final hiding place of the Bovido Has leadership. Begging for his life, Clod signed a decree of surrender effective to all soldiers and citizens of Bovido Has, ordering them to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Libirachi Empire. Broardcasted across the world, both on Bovido and Libirachi state media, as well as on countless western news services, the execution of Damal Clod and his cabinet of ministers sent a warning to the world - nobody messes with the Libirachi Empire. With the death of its parramount leader, Bovido Has shattered like glass, coming under siege from Obadiah Has and the fractional groups across the Pacific islands and eventually collapsing under the pressure. Hastily escaping with a legion of soldiers who refused to follow Clod's orders, Archbishop Dean managed to escape Belitung and fled to Japan, where he would attempt to re-build Bovido Has from the new capital of Tokyo.

### Aftermath

With the collapse of the Pacific iteration of Bovido Has after the Libirachi invasion, the Bovido stockpile of nuclear weapons was spread across the Pacific and Asia, and while the Libirachi Empire managed to acquire the majority of said warheads, approximately 20 bombs were left un-accounted for after the Bovido declaration of surrender, forcing the President of the United States, Simon Walker to make an intervention to ensure that none of the missing warheads made their way into the hands of the Hǔnluàn or one of their "puppet nations", attempting to "disallow a terrorist organisation the means in which to fight nuclear warfare, not just against the USA but against any nation it so wishes". As such, the 7th US Pacific Task force deployed to the Pacific islands on May 20th in collaboration with the Libirachi Empire, in a mission lasting between May 20 and December 20 2021, which saw a series of raids and assaults of remnant holdouts of Bovido Has, several Obadiah Has installations as well as a Hǔnluàn shipping convoy in an attempt to retrieve the missing weapons. At the end of the mission, the US Navy had recovered 9 bombs, and the Libirachi Naval Legion had acquired 10, with one of the weapons ending up in the hands of the Tokyo Bovido - although it was later discovered to be a decoy weapon used by the Bovido army to appear stronger after the collapse of Bovido Has.
