The **Third Intervention** was an armed conflict primarily between the nations of Jabeyrack and the Socialist Republic of Kokinos. It was the final major combat action undertaken during the Interventions and was the bloodiest of the three. The Third Intervention ended in a major Jabeyracki victory and resulted in the establishment of the Republic of Crimpor.

## Background

The Third Intervention was preceded by the Second Intervention, which had left numerous Jabeyracki military forces stranded in occupied Kokinos. Neopolis and the outskirts of Cremdel Beach held the highest concentrations of Jabeyracki remnant forces, leading Jabeyracki military high command to choose Cremdel Beach as their beachhead for the invasion.

## Warfare

The opening battles of the conflict were around Cremdel Beach, where fresh Jabeyracki troops crushed local Kokinan opposition. The new beachhead was quickly converted into a field headquarters by Jabeyrack and supplies sent via boat and air. Stranded Jabeyracki forces nearby moved to friendly territory and were incorporated into the invasion forces, which moved towards Neopolis and Retgard simultaneously. Local Crimporian militias and citizens often assisted Jabeyracki forces both militarily and economically. Neopolis had been under siege for some time by then and its defenders were on their last legs, but the arrival of reinforcements meant the Kokinans were themselves encircled. Sensing defeat, they retreated from the siege to regroup in Retgard. Jabeyracki forces merged with those in Neopolis and marched on Revolucia, fighting for 3 weeks before gaining the city.

In an effort to cripple Kokinan military industry, the critical Retgard Steel Refinery was infiltrated by Kokinans sympathetic to the Jabeyracki and/or Crimporian governments under orders of the JCP to sabotage the refinery. Meanwhile, Jabeyracki forces converged on the refinery, engaging in skirmishes with SRK regulars and security forces alike. The Battle for Retgard Steel Refinery was a decisive Jabeyracki victory.

As further preparation for the assault on Retgard, Jabeyracki troops stormed and took control of nearby military bases, including the Retgard Airfield, where Jabeyracki leader Kavasia V would directly oversee the movement of her forces. Hearing word of this, Kokinan partisans and veterans were sent to assassinate Kavasia V. They were successful, and while this move did little to deter Jabeyrack militarily, it sent the Liamist government into a political tailspin.

The 1929 Coalition that was formed as a replacement government sent former Regent Veeldin to oversee the de-Longerianizing of the troops in Kokinos. While there, she met with local anti-Kokinan resistance elements and formed several volunteer platoons of Crimpor locals. With this new manpower, Jabeyracki forces moved on Retgard.

The subsequent Battle of Retgard would cause 3/4ths of the casualties in the entirety of the Third Intervention. While only lasting 2 weeks, both the SRK and Jabeyrack invested significant amounts of equipment and manpower into the battle, causing extreme death in an incredibly short window of time. Unable to sustain the continued war against Jabeyrack, the eventual failure of Kokinan troops at Retgard forced the SRK to the negotiating table. Despite Jabeyrack’s stated war goal of disbanding the SRK entirely, their uncertain political situation at home convinced them to enter into negotiations with the Kokinan government.

## Conclusion

The negotiations, held in Jabeyrack-controlled Neopolis, mandated the creation of an independent Republic of Crimpor, various military reductions for the SRK, and a non-aggression pact for 50 years.
