The Battle for Zaquar is a battle expected to occur in the city of Zaquar, a province of the City-State of Kitania which was taken over in October 2017 by the Free State of Kitania, a self-proclaimed state which seeks to overthrow the City-State of Kitania and was formed by dissident elements of the Kitania Intelligence Agency. The City-State of Kitania is expected to launch an invasion to retake the city, currently under occupation by the Free State of Kitania, in what may be the final battle of the Kitania Civil War.

The City-State of Kitania and the Free State of Kitania are seeking recruits to fight in the Battle for Zaquar, which will function as a two-team PvP battle. A link will be provided soon for recruits to sign up.

Background

The Kitania Civil War began on October 4th, 2014, when a force comprising of dissident elements of the Kitania Intelligence Agency launched a coup d'état against the Kitanian province of Zaquar and proclaimed the formation of the Free State of Kitania. The City-State of Kitania had been monitoring the suspected dissident activity for weeks, and had contingency operations planned, however rebel leaders discovered Kitanian knowledge of the plot, and moved up the date of the invasion. The Free Kitania Armed Forces launched an air assault on the city, a blockade of the eastern coast, and a ground level takeover of Downtown Zaquar. Covina supported the Free State of Kitania and the Covina Military provided active military support, including a fleet of fighter jets which participated in the air invasion and a large warship which assisted in the blockade. The City-State of Kitania, caught off guard by the invasion, sent the KIA Armed Forces to Zaquar to defend the city, holding control of Zaquar Ménage et Trois Regional Airport and northern coast. The City-State of Kitania was supported by the Bay Area Rapid Transit corporation and its BART Police force. Fighting went on for two days before IntraAir flight 46, a commercial passenger flight from Hummingbird Islands en route to Elecna Bay, on which the Kitanian Vice President MinecraftYoshi26 was aboard, was hijacked by a Free Kitanian operative. Zaquar Ménage et Trois Regional Airport was seized by Free Kitanian soldiers, and flight 46 was diverted to the airport, leading to a standoff between opposing troops on the airport runway. The City-State of Kitania backed down after the Free State of Kitania threatened to execute the passengers of flight 46, including Vice President MinecraftYoshi26, and President KittyCat11231 ordered Kitanian troops to withdraw, proclaiming Zaquar had fallen.

Zaquar has since been occupied by the Free State of Kitania, which has proclaimed the city as its capital. The Kitania Civil War continued as the Free State of Kitania vowed to overthrow the City-State of Kitania, however Kitanian forces did not attempt to retake Zaquar, as Vice President MinecraftYoshi26 continued to be held hostage at the Clarkson Pool alongside the other passengers of IntraAir flight 46. In December 2017, the KIA Tactical Operations Unit, with the assistance of the BART Police, conducted a covert operation in occupied Zaquar to rescue the Vice President and other hostages at Clarkson Pool. KIA agents parachuted into the city, while undercover BART Police operatives arrived in an IKEA truck disguised as IKEA employees. The Free Kitanian soldiers guarding the pool were shot and killed as agents rushed in to rescue the hostages, who were quickly rushed out. The KIA agents, the Vice President, and the other hostages escaped with jetpacks to Elecna Bay, however some KIA agents as well as the BART Police unit didn't escape before responding Free Kitanian soldiers reached their location. Several agents were killed, but a BART Police helicopter rescue team lifted up the BART Police IKEA truck as the remaining agents clung on. All of the passengers of IntraAir flight 46, including Vice President MinecraftYoshi26, were taken safely to Elecna Bay.

With the Vice President no longer in danger, it is believed that the City-State of Kitania is preparing its final assault to retake Zaquar, defeat the Free State of Kitania, and end the Kitania Civil War.
