Jerusalem Bovido

The **Holy Empire of Bovido Has**, more commonly known as the **Jerusalem Bovido** was a rump state in the Middle East between 2021 and 2028 which claimed to be the continuous successor to the former state of Bovido Has, and engaged in a civil war with other Bovido Remnants in the mid 2020s before establishing itself as the Bovido Imperium in August 2028.

Established by Emirate (later *self-proclaimed* Cardinal of Bovido Has) Anton Ujung of the Holy Province of Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Bovido was a nation-state in existence between 2021 and 2022, during the last year of the Has Wars following a separation from the Tokyo Bovido in the Pacific, under which the state had been merely a province. Planned as a direct successor to the Bovido Hassian title, the Jerusalem Bovido acted as a façade for Anton Ujung to attract the brightest intellectual and military minds of the former Bovido Has into one location to begin the planned re-birth of Bovido Has. As a secular Christian nation, the Jerusalem Bovido practised a strict version of Christianity, following a heavily altered Bible and the will of the Cardinal, who was the nominal head of state.

As peace talks broke down and both sides blamed each other, the schism between the two nations widened and the Libirachi Empire declared war on Bovido Has at 09:30 AM on the 1st April 2020, and Bovido Has responded at 10:10 AM the same day. Following the Assassination of Archbishop and Emperor Hazael Buller the Rightful in March 2020 at the hands of the Hǔnluàn terrorist group, Bovido Has was placed into dissaray, and was crippled by the defection of The Lords Grand Army into the nation of Obadiah Has. At 10:10 on the 7th April 2020, Bovido Has declared war on the rival Has, and in a fiery speech to his new nation, Justus Obadiah declared war on its parent nation. While the newly appointed Emperor Damal Clod attempted to keep the Has provinces under his control Bovido Has began to collapse under the pressure of the Has Wars, struggling to fight off 3 nations and recapture fallen territory, all without a standing army. On the , 10th April, Obadiah Has began its Pacific conquest and saw its first conflict against The Libirachi Empire in the Battle for Burma Has, lasting between the 10th of April and the 22nd May, and was swiftly followed by the Fall of Viet Has on the 22nd April. Concluding on May 15th, the Fall of Viet Has and the neighbouring Fall of Central Has forced Bovido Has out of mainland southern Asia, save for a small strip of fortresses on the cost of the South Libirachi Sea.

Following the defection of the Lord's Grand Army into the nation of Obadiah Has on March 30, Bovido Has was left without an army to defend itself with. As such, former Marshal Omar Jude, descendant of Mattathias Jude, was tasked with re-building the remnants of the LGA into a new fighting army. Created on April 3, the Lord's Holy Army was an amalgamation of leftover forces and weaponry staffed and controlled largely by veterans and conscripts. With the May 26th defection of Nathaniel Eli and his 2nd Obadiah Mainland Army, the LHA started to reestablish itself as a serious fighting force and was placed under the command of Jude after the passing of Gabriel Stomas (the former leader) on May 28. With the re-emergence of Bovido Has as a serious combatant in the Has Wars, the Libirachi Empire began to seek an end to the LHA's effectiveness and ordered the assassination of Omar Jude on June 20th. At 12:31 PM (5:31 GMT) on June 24, Omar Jude was shot dead whilst onstage addressing soldiers at LHA Badung, 5 miles from the centre of Badung. The assassin was found later that day wearing LHA uniform, but with a Libirachi Imperial Army dog-tag identifying him as Sgt. Damian Flait, and Imperial Special Forces Commando working (allegedly) on the orders of the Empress Laura Fox herself. The assassination further increased the turmoil of the Has Wars, and the aftermath lead the broken Bovido political system to attempt an invasion of the Libirachi capital of Beijing. 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 President of the Libirachi Empire hostage for a week. Despite this, the Libirachi Empire forced the Bovido landing force out of the mainland and retrieved their President, alongside the destruction of the Bovido fleet.

In retaliation to the Bovido Hassian assault on its capital, 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. Seizing key parts of the city, the Libirachi Empire was able to corner Emperor Damal Clod and his War Cabinet, who surrendered the capital after a gruelling siege, beginning the collapse of Bovido Has. Refusing to align with the Emperor and his surrendering forces, Archbishop Syli Dean regathered the remainder of the Hassian New Army and fled to Japan, setting up Tokyo as their new capital.

While the Battle for Persia was raging in the Middle East,  Dean began constructing a new empire for the remnants of the fallen Bovido. Establishing himself in Tokyo after escaping the Siege of Makassar in early 2021, Dean set about re-organising the forces of the provinces of Russia Has, the Bovido Line, Japan Has, Egypt Has, Jordan Has, Palestine Has and the Holy Province of Jerusalem. Scattered across three continents, the last major holdouts of the Bovido Hassian empire converged at Tokyo to rebuild, creating the Tokyo Bovido; a provisional government consisting of military leaders and politicians alike meeting in Japan Has to discuss troop movements and deciding on how best to win the war. As tensions began to flare between members of the Provisional Government, regional leaders began to cede from the leadership of Archbishop and *self-proclaimed* Emperor Syli Dean. Becoming disillusioned with Dean's leadership, Anton Ujung (Emirate of Jerusalem) withdrew from the coalition and re-organised the local forces to become the Jerusalem Bovido - the only serious rival to Dean's authority. With the destruction of the Tokyo Bovido, the Jerusalem Bovido quickly became the largest Bovido Remnant and began a campaign of
