Operation Hegemony

**Operation Hegemony** was a colonization mission led by Strategic Armed Forces Chief of Staff BladedRacer65. The operation's goal was to send Marthian military soldiers to a Minecraft: Bedrock Edition multiplayer server known as Xanez Nations that was previously not known to the Federal Government, and to eventually have a sustainable colony run by Marthia on this server.

Operation Hegemony was officially ended on December 5th, 2020 after the annexation of Damaaria into the Federal Republic of Marthia. The Operation was marked as a success.

## Notable Events

This section will list Notable Events in chronological order during Operation Hegemony.

On October 3rd, 2020, Operation Hegemony was created, and the first Marthian soldiers joined Xanez. A base is set up at a village in a Taiga and is named "Opus Centrum".

On October 6th, 2020, a player named "PilotPlayz45" recognizes some Marthian soldiers from an old server, and gives them hacked items. All Strategic Armed Forces personnel are cleared to join Operation Hegemony.

On October 19th, 2020, an outsider named "Alkanel" reaches out to Marthia and asks to join them after getting kicked out of the Western Island Confederation. They are told to establish a protectorate state.

On October 23rd, 2020, the Central High Command makes the decision to re-locate operations southward in a city called Ost-Harad. Opus Centrum remains as a base as a more minor role.

On October 25th, 2020, Private First Class Card is banned from Xanez for cheating. After investigation, Card claims that he received creative mode from PilotPlayz when they met on the server, and occasionally used it up until he was banned.

On December 5th, 2020, Operation Hegemony is officially ended and marked as a success after the annexation of Damaaria into the Federal Republic of Marthia.

## Bases

This section will list the bases created during Operation Hegemony, and some information about them.

### Opus Centrum

Opus Centrum was created right at the start of the Operation. It was located in a Taiga village about 350 blocks north of spawn. It would serve as the main base for the Operation in its early stages, until it became a minor base after it was discovered that new players would be recruited in mass to the server, putting Opus Centrum in danger.

### Kubolay

Kubolay was a small outpost created by Commander Pepe in the jungle on the Tibrus river. It's original purpose is unknown, but it soon served as a connection between Opus Centrum and the Capital area in the Mesa. You can find a link to a video that shows Kubolay here.

### Ost-Harad

Ost-Harad was a city in the southern tundra of Xanez, on the coast of the Southern Sea. It was known mostly for its large castle, although it possessed many other builds, too. Some notable ones are Ark's Forge, Yukigami Village, and the Community Warehouse. Ost-Harad was the main base of Operation Hegemony for almost all of its existence, and was the center of Marthia's influence on Xanez for most of its time there.

### Untergracht

Untergracht was a small outpost built from an abandoned village in the middle of the southern tundra. It was built mostly by Pepe, and served as one of two outposts which were stops along the ice road that connected Ost-Harad and Dureksburg. It was known mostly for its large sheep farm. Its name originated from a town built by Pepe several years ago on another server called Myths-Echoes. You can find a video showcasing Untergracht here.

### Cornerwall

Cornerwall was an outpost along the ice road connecting Ost-Harad and Dureksburg, similar to Untergracht. It was located on the edge of the tundra, next to the central Taiga. Cornerwall was not known mostly for its name, which originated as a joke about real-world British naming tendencies, and their accents. A video showcasing Cornerwall can be found here.

### Kubilog

Kubilog was a small city in the northern jungle of Tibrus. It was originally planned to be the site of the new Capital of Tibrus, but the site was moved further north to the Mesa, and Kubilog was built by Pepe at the old site. Kubilog's original purpose was to help connect the new Capital to Opus Centrum through the Tibrus river, but after the Capital project was cancelled, it became semi-abandoned, as most of the Tibrus jungle region did.

### Mesa Capital Site

The Mesa Capital Site was supposed to be the new center of Marthia's operations on Xanez, and BladedRacer65 had grand plans for it. Unfortunately, Bladed would take a temporary leave from Marthia, and the project was cancelled. Before its cancellation, the project had many great builds already completed, including a gate to the castle, a dam, and a pyramid. The project was not given a name before its cancellation.
