The **Kara Incident** took place on September 7, 2023. The incident involves a mysterious communications blackout between the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces and the Empire of Chawosauria who are doing missions in the Kara wing of the Urali-occupied Ural Wall during the Chawo-Uralic War. It turns out to be the work of the Siberian People's Army, who sought to interfere with Chawosauria's ability to control Siberia.

## CIAF Kara Communications Systems

The Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces' Kara Communications Systems are a series out communications outposts all over the islands of the Kara Sea. They were built when the Ural Wall was established in 2019. These outposts communicate information between the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces who are stationed at the coasts of Northwest Russia, communications and data collecting involving Chawosaurian civilian life that is being monitored by the Empire of Chawosauria Intelligence Agency, and since 2019, information about the Ural Wall and eventually the Chawo-Uralic War.

## Communications Blackout

On Thursday, September 7, 2023 (Gregorian calendar), August 20, 2023 (Julian calendar), communications somehow have mysteriously been disconnected, preventing the Chawosaurian government and the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces at Northwest Russia from communicating with each other. This went unnoticed by the Empire of Chawosauria Intelligence Agency until 5:31 AM, September 8, 2023 in Russia and 9:31 AM, September 7, 2023 at central time. This caused major frustration within the Empire of Chawosauria Intelligence Agency, who are in charge of collecting communications and exchanging them between the government and stationed CIAF forces.

On September 8, 2023, Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker and new Minister of Intelligence Leonidas Brazhnikov agreed that deploying a fireteam from the Chawosaurian Imperial Fireteam Alliance to investigate the incident would be a good resort, despite disagreement from the entire Empire of Chawosauria Intelligence Agency, who believed a deployment of a fireteam would be an irresponsible allocation of valuable resources, Parker and Brazhnikov counter-disagreed with that assessment.

## Fireteam Investigation

The fireteam tasked with investigating the Kara incident was a trooper fireteam, Liberty Team, but they disappeared by September 12, 2023.

Following the disappearance of Liberty Team, the Empire of Chawosauria Intelligence Agency dispatched one of the first successfully engineered supersoldier fireteams, Fireteam Lionheart, to investigate the Kara incident and the disappearance of Liberty Team. Lionheart was deployed on September 17, 2023.

Fireteam Lionheart was transported to the communications outpost, where they investigated a nearby Chawosaurian hamlet and interacted with Chawosaurian locals, who said were encountered by militias. They moved forward to a warehouse where they discovered corpses, belonging to Liberty Team, who were murdered in a torturous manner. They were then encountered by a guerilla paramilitary who were dedicated to Siberian independence from Chawosaurian rule, not too long, they were revealed to be the Siberian People's Army of the self-declared Siberian People's Republic.

## Encounter with the Siberian People's Army

It turns out, the communications blackout was the work of the Siberian People's Army in order to meddle with Chawosauria's ability to control Siberia. Fireteam Lionheart with the intervention of the Chawosaurian Imperial Air Force, engaged in a skirmish with the Siberian People's Army all over the outpost. In one of the fewest Chawosaurian military victories since the start of the Chawo-Uralic War, the SPA insurgency at the outpost was repelled, but marked the start of the Siberian War of Independence.
