1950 Great Neuroi Incursion in the Ruthanar-Archipelago

The **1950 Great Neuroi Incursion in the Ruthanar-Archipelago** was an invasion attempt by the Neuroi in 1950. Due to the close proximity of the Archipelago to the Successor States of the Empire of Kupandukira, which collapsed in 1941, it is presumed, that the major objective of the Neuroi was the establishment of a bridgehead (as Neuroi are powered by the earth underneath them, they can not travel larger distances over water without support).

The first attack on Olo on the Kupandukiran Mainland happened on the 22nd of December 1949 with an international response force under the command of Commodore Amy Sraollán of the Tribe of Fionnithach being formed over the course of January 1950 and taking to the skies in mid-January.

The Incursion is subject of the planned RP(-Series?) *Shield Witches*. No planned dates exist yet.

## Proceedings

### Challenges...

* The Neuroi, in particular the Ruthanar Neuroi Hive.
* Kupandukira's Civil War rages on between the Successor States and while Olo was declared (at gunpoint) a neutral zone, the different factions are not happy about it and might take action of a more clandestine nature. This is especially true for the Socialist Republic and the Commune of Taavale. Incursions into the airspace will diminish the goodwill of either governments.
	+ As part of the Neutral Zone Agreement, the High Kingdom agreed to provide humanitarian aid in the Olo-Region, which is, for the duration of the Neuroi-Incursion plus six months the neutral zone under international mandate. The general area has been ravaged by combat since 1944.
* The population of Olo is very sceptical to hostile towards foreign troops being deployed in their city. While open hostilities are not completely out of the question, the witches are to be careful - or to leave all interactions with the city and its population to the designated officers.
* Due to the supplies having to arrive via ship, the situation is difficult.
