Tajara People Celebrates the Victory Against Tyrants

 

After the glorious victory of our warriors against tyrants, such as the usurper of Al’mari’s legacy and his alien allies, the population of the Democratic People’s Republic commemorates the peace. Several cities are organizing celebrations and parades to praise the efforts of the Adhomai Liberation Army and our leaders in securing the future of the Tajaran people.

Crevus is lighten up by countless gondolas occupying its canals and hotels hosting parties to celebrate the armistice. Tajara inhabitants, tourists and the few human residents in the city celebrate together. Mayor Mazula Azaula has invited the remaining members of the S'rand'marr Coalition to spend their last days on Adhomai in Crevus, spending their credits on casinos and other attractions.

Amohdan swordsmen and soldiers take part in military parades all across the island, exhibiting their weapons and performing displays of martial prowess. Members of the Amohdan Free Lodge exalt the courage of their Tajara, claiming that this peace would be impossible without their sacrifices. While Amohda still remains under a military junta, we wish them a safe transition to a democratic government in the near future.

The population gathered before the Das'nrra Imperial Palace In Shastar City, the location where peace was reached, to hear the speech of President Almrah Harrlala. She appeared on the balcony of the building, holding a copy of the Armistice and accompanied by Former Commander Nated, before addressing the nation;

Quote

“People of Adhomai, they are one step closer in fulfilling the dreams of Al’mari! A future where all of their people will be finally free of alien tyranny, able to decide their own fate in this galaxy. While they have reached peace in this conflict, their struggle is far from over. Many Tajara outside of Adhomai are in need of help, and they must reach them. Their Republic will be the sword and shield of the Tajara across all galaxy, they must liberate them!”

Harrlala’s words were transmitted through all Adhomai via radio. Promises to accelerate the democratization process in junta controlled areas, and the dismantling  of possible rogue guerrillas cells were also made during celebrations in the capital.

President Almrah Denounces the Tyranny of the Unathi

 

Following a meeting in Shastar City with the participation of all governors, representatives and graced by the presence of Commander Nated, the government decided on matters related to economy, remaining juntas and diplomacy.

Due to disagreements between members of the Free Tajaran People’s Party and the Adhomian Blue party, government officials were unable to reach a compromise on legislation governing industrialization and factory conditions. Equally, we are told that a unanimous agreement regarding the remaining juntas controlling Amohda and the South of Harr’masir was not possible at this time. However, the assembly did come to a bipartisan resolution regarding the situation in Gaka’zaal, a planet under the governance of an Unathi feudal lord.

President Almrah revealed the plight of the Tajara in Gakal'zaal to the assembly, explaining in detail the suffering and tyranny that the native population was subject to. Despite being inhabited by Tajara, the planet is controlled by the Izweski Hegemony, who established their rule through force. Making use of their fleet, feudal armies and turncoats, the Unathi are forcing our compatriots to adopt the Izweski  way of life and religion while exploiting them through the use of guilds and serfdom. The freedom and destiny of the Tajaran people is being threatened by these alien tyrants. A small resistance movement is already active on Gakal'zaal, but it has so far had little success due to the lack of any extraplanetary support

After exposing to the governors and representatives the harsh reality of those living outside of our borders, President Almrah has proposed sending their demands to the Izweski Hegemony and the galaxy as whole:

Quote

"For too long the Unathi tyrants have subjugated and controlled the fate of the Tajaran people living in Gakal'zaal; we will not stand for this anymore. The Hegemon and his feudal lackeys must surrender the control of the planet to its rightful inhabitants, so they may decide their own fate. In the defense of Al’mari’s legacy, we will oppose all your actions until you comply with our just demands. The Tajara have the right to control their own fate, and we will fight for it."

Besides the diplomatic message, the assembly also unanimously voted to stop any current and future trade with Unathi states or organizations until Gakal'zaal is free. Amohdan Free Lodge and Free Tajaran People's Party members demanded further action to be taken in case the request is rejected. All citizens of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai are also asked to boycott any Unathi made products.

[Alberyk]

Population of Gakal'zaal Takes Up Arms Against Oppressors

 

Inspired by President Almrah’s decision, the Tajara of Gakal’zaal have risen up against the illegitimate Unathi occupation of their world. Under the leadership of a community representative, Andranik Huwaytat, they have sent a message to the people of Adhomai and the whole galaxy:

Quote

A taupe colored Tajara stands before the camera, wearing a grey military uniform adorned by pelts. A name tag with “Commander Huywaytat” written on it can be seen on his chest. He is wielding a Ho'taki Marksman Rifle. Other Tajara, armed and dressed in similar manner, stand behind him. As he begins to speak, an unseen voice starts to translate his words from Siik’maas to Tau Ceti common:

“We have come to Gakal’zaal to build a future for ourselves; this was something that was stolen by the tyranny of an alien invader. For too long we have been subject to the abuses of the Unathi, and this ends today.  We, the Tajara of Gakal’zaal, have come together to create the Gakal’zaal Liberation Front. Our mission is to liberate our homes from the Unathi occupation, by any means necessary. There is no choice left after the Hegemony refused to listen to President Almrah Harrlala. We will resist the forces of Yizarus anywhere they are found, and we will push them back to space if needed.”

Anrdanik pauses as the video cuts to a slide of pictures; a view of the Gakal’zaal hinterlands, Tajaran villages, clam farms, the city of Zikala and an orbital station floating above the planet. The speech continues,

“This is our world, it belongs to us. Allow us to live by our own ways, to rule ourselves by our own laws. Allow us to worship Tajaran Gods, not the three headed moon-beast brought by the Hegemony priests. Leave Gakal’zaal and we can avoid this blood-shed. The Tajara are ready to fight to the end.”

A video of a snowy training camp appears. Tajara are shown being trained in firearms and  handling explosives. All instructors are wearing face concealing balaclavas and masks. An Adhomian war song is played alongside the demonstration, calling for Tajaran partisans to rally behind Nated’s cause. The recording returns to commander Huywaytat as he continues to speak:

“The Gakal’zaal Liberation Front invites our brothers and sisters from Adhomai and the rest of the universe to join our struggle. We will welcome anyone willingly to aid us. There will be no peace with the Unathi invader until we are all free.”

Government officials have confirmed interest in assisting the Gakal’zaal Liberation Front, through material and political support. President Almrah has announced a diplomatic conference with the People’s Republic and New Kingdom to convince the other two nations in adopting the boycott against the Hegemony.

National Education System Considered a Success: Opportunities Extended to all Tajara

 

Since the early days of our glorious Republic,, teachers have grappled with the difficulty of reforming the rigid and dogmatic educational system left behind by the Hadiist dictatorship. In order to supply every Tajara with the necessary education they need to guarantee their success and independence, each region was given autonomy to decide how to handle their schools. Besides the need to create an educated citizen, the curriculum includes languages used in local communities and the preservation of regional culture. The teachings of Al’mari have now started to bear fruit, as the latest national exam results have been considered a sign of the system’s success. Students have performed better this year than in previous tests during 2459.

The Hadiist Tyrant once forbade the teaching of other languages besides Siik’maas, in an attempt to replace the Tajaran culture with his cult of personality. Many Tajara were raised without the chance of knowing the tongues of their ancestors. Through the sacrifice and bravery of our fighters; they now have the freedom to learn the language of their people. Delvahii and Nal’rasan speakers were invited to become teachers, with the goal of preserving the Tajaran lifestyle against the alien threat. Not only will our children be taught their ancestral traditions, but all Tajara will be allowed to get back in touch with their roots. The schools will become an essential instrument in safeguarding the future of the Tajara.

Siik'Tajr, Nal'rasan and Delvahhi classes are now widely available to the population of our Republic and to Tajara residing outside of Adhomai. Courses will be available through the extranet.

Gakal’Zaal liberation in progress, but can they last without you?

Gakal’Zaal’s liberators report major victories all over the planet of Gakal’Zaal! This colony, grasped by the long talons of the oppressive cold-bloods, has been choked for too long and finally, its people are calling for liberty!

However, now more than ever they need help and support.

While the DPRA stands fully at their side both in spirit and in flesh, many others stand by and do nothing. This is not the case for the son of Mj'akurahur Drrawa'jur, Yuri Drrawa'jur, who has now publicly spoken out against the current “Overlord”.

While the family of Drrawa'jur has a history of royalty, Yuri is a staunch believer in democracy and free choice of the people. This young man has used his inborn position of privilege to lessen the weight of taxes, provided his estates for peaceful gatherings and continued to support a compromise between the Overlord and freedom fighters.

Doing the right thing is not always easy and Yuri Drrawa’jur is a shining example of such! But will he fight alone, or will you join him and many others? As we speak, volunteers from all over the universe are congregating on Gaka’Zaal.

You could be there too.
 

[Coalf]

 

Gakal’Zaal in flames, Oppressors losing ground.

The revolution continues as violent clashes break out all over Gakal’Zaal. While the resistance sputtered in the past, the execution of Yuri Drrawa’jur was the kindling that allowed the nurturing of this spark into a raging inferno!

The citizens have now begun a campaign of sabotage and subterfuge. Workers refuse to go back to the factories and fields, tax-collectors have found themselves ostracized and attacked by the farmers and even the cold-blooded land-lords have refused to enact the raised tax policies of the Beast, Yizarius. This planetary strike seems to have taken the lazy lizards, used to subservience from their subjects, by surprise.

The city of Kri’yata, in particular, has seen a surge in violence, as during a peaceful protest some of the Yizarites opened fire onto the crowd under the pretense that an explosive was present; shortly after they found themselves overrun and with their guns seized by an angry crowd marching down the streets of Kri’Yata.

-->Open Feed<--

Spoiler

A feed opens and loud chanting can be heard, the cameraman takes a brief shot of his modestly sized and badly upkept room before he runs to one of the windows. There he shakily takes in the crowd of shouting and chanting Tajara, a few Sinta can be seen standing out in the crowd with their impressive height.
One of the Tajara climbs onto a truck, which bears the mark of Yizariuses clan and begins shouting to the crowd, nothing specific can be heard, at the end of his speech, the crowd surges forward, past the truck and deeper into the street, then the feed cuts.

Due to these disturbances, the Gakal’Zaal Liberation Front has continued unopposed and even gains strength as more and more civilians and previously loyal garrisons join the liberation of their homeworld, along with the arrival of recent volunteer forces it is stipulated that Zikala will be reached within two weeks.

Decisive Victory at Gakal’zaal Opens Way to Liberation!

 

Yizarus gathered the rest of his Unathi Warriors and Tajaran levies in an attempt to organize an offensive, despite the constant threat of advancing freedom fighters and civil unrest. All settlements under the Hegemony’s control had their garrisons drafted. Unathi pirates and other mercenaries were hired, after having been promised riches, to bolster the Overlord’s army. Motor-driven sledges, field guns, and even breacher suits that were available to the oppressors - brought in to support their attack. A vanguard of the Unathi, followed by their auxiliary troops, marched from the Capital towards the northern regions of the planet. The feudal expedition, led by the tyrant himself,  sought to strike at the heart of the rebellion with overwhelming force. Villages caught in their path were quickly subjugated and ransacked, leaving behind a trail of destruction.

The Unathi Army continued its march for days. Guerrilla cells that dared to face them in open combat were quickly routed. News of their presence reached the ears of the Tajaran population ahead of the approaching army - this caused many to abandon their homes and flee further into the hinterlands. Andranik Huwaytat rallied the Gakal’zaal Liberation Front to oppose the Overlord. Instead of facing them directly in combat, the freedom fighters harassed the enemy with hit-and-run tactics. Mistaking the unwillingness to fight for weakness, they chased the liberators further into the north. When the feudal forces were away from the warmer regions of the planet, the Gakal’zaal Liberation Front stood their ground.

Despite the apparent disadvantage, the freedom fighters had already set their plan in motion. Through collaboration with the Tajaran population under the Unathi rule, the Liberation Front infiltrated the ranks of the Overlord’s army. Countless Tajara soldiers, officers and workers became double agents in the name of liberty; they were waiting for the right moment to strike. On the night before the supposed battle the signal was given: a Mah Kii could be heard on the horizon. Entire Tajara battalions turned hostile against their masters. Many loyalist levies and commanders were quietly eliminated during the night, never having even woken up. False alarms were given, and misleading reports were transmitted through radio channels. Armed Tajara assaulted the Unathi and mercenary soldiers without hesitation. Chaos took over the army as the infighting and deserting ensued. When word of the mutiny reached the Unathi vanguard, they found themselves trapped between the Liberation Front and the rebellious levies. Rushing to their supplies and weapons, they found out that many of their vital stores were already sabotaged or stolen: ammunition crates were empty or filled with snow, rations were poisoned, and Nm’shaan sugar was poured into the engines of motor sledges. Logistics and guild workers were also at the side of the rebellion.

The Gakal’zaal Liberation Front advanced against Yizarus’ army, encircling most of their forces. The Unathi warriors fought for three days until they were able to break through the encirclement. The mercenaries and pirates abandoned their positions as soon they could; they escaped into the countryside to continue their looting rampage. The remnants of the expedition then started retreating to Zikala. The way back was littered with traps and snipers hiding in the snow. Liberation Front agents, under the cover given by collaborators, planted explosives and detonated bridges as the feudal host progressed. The retreat inflicted further casualties on the tyrant's retinue. A mere fraction remains of the once mighty army, its proud soldiers reduced to hungry and beaten ruffians.

Overlord Yizarus, having survived the offensive, ordered the fortification of Zikala. The rest of his forces are now taking defensive positions around the city. The remaining pockets of loyalist resistance are being snuffed out as the Liberation Front advances towards the capital. Commander Andranik Huwaytat has offered another chance for Yizarus to surrender and end the conflict peacefully. 

More Tajara flock to the Liberation Front, both native and foreign volunteers, as news of the victory spreads on Gakal’zaal and beyond. Join the fight today!

Amohda Junta Demands Independence!

 

Today the national assembly was surprised by the unjustified demands of the military junta controlling Amohda. A meeting was interrupted by a spokesperson bringing a declaration from the governing body of the island of Amohda. The document demanded total independence from the Democratic People’s Republic, claiming that any state was allowed to secede with proper popular support. President Almrah Harrlala and the representatives present at the moment refused to acknowledge their demand; they explained that such privilege was not given to territories controlled by the military. Members of the Amohdan Free Lodge raised their voices in protest, calling the president a tyrant. The assembly soon devolved into shouting and insults. Despite the opposition from President Harrlala and all non-Amohdan representatives, the Free Lodge members refused to withdraw their claims. The separatists left the assembly without offering further explanation.

As the news of the rebuttal reached Amohda, the streets of the island’s capital were overtaken by protestors. Citizens protested against the decision of the national assembly, calling for an armed secession against our Republic. Soldiers under the command of the Amohdan junta also joined the demonstration, waving their weapons and bringing their armored vehicles out of their garages. Protests lasted for the rest of the day and night.

Yaropolk Yazar, the current Rrhaza-Akhran of Amohda, made an announcement over the radio:

Quote

"People of Amohda, listen to the call of their liberators. The destiny of the Island is theirs to decide. They must break free from the Democratic People’s Republic, even if they have done well in helping Amohda during the revolution. However, it is now the time for them to part ways and claim their own glory! They do not wish to remain as part of this country. President Harrlala, give Amohda its well earned independence or they will take it by force!"

President Almrah and the nation assembly have threatened to deploy the Liberation Army if the Amohdan secessionists attempt any kind of violent secession. Former Supreme Commander Nated has condemned the actions of the separatists, calling them “monarchists in disguise”.

Zikala Falls: Gakal’zaal is Liberated!
 

After the victory of the Gakal’zaal Liberation Front against the Unathi offensive, the freedom fighters have made steady progress towards the planetary capital. Zikala has been surrounded by the Liberation Army for the past two weeks. A full assault was held back under the orders of Commander Andranik Huwaytat. Outside of some skirmishes and shelling, the external front has remained largely uneventful. However, Tajara within the city have been acting against the oppressor. Brave agents and countrymen carried out dangerous missions involving sabotaging defenses and infrastructure vital to the Unathi war effort. The city armory was looted by a mob. Tajaran guards and levies are abandoning their posts in droves. The alien authority has crumbled after the people stood up to take what belongs to them: their own future. 

The situation came to an end after a delegation from the Unathi contacted the Liberation Front command. The Unathi authority was abandoning Gakal’zaal. The Overlord and his lackeys evacuated the planet in a hurry, bringing anything they could carry with themselves to the orbital station. A crowd formed before the shuttle port, attempting to escape the capture of the city; they were stopped by the tyrant's bodyguards. The cowardly Yizarus left most of his subjects behind while saving himself. The last shuttles filled with riches left Zikala as the freedom fighters were given the order to seize the settlement.

The Liberation Front entered the capital without facing resistance; the garrison had been disbanded before the retreat. The population greeted their liberators with cheering and celebration, joining them in their march through the streets. Commander Huwaytat led his Tajara to the city palace. The building was nearly empty, all of its wealth was already taken away by the alien invader. Mj'akurahur Drrawa'jur, left behind by his ungrateful master, was found hiding in the edifice’s basement. The traitor is currently being held prisoner until he can be judged for his crimes.

Looting and vandalism has been strictly forbidden by the Liberation Front. Despite this prohibition, the Sk'akh temple of Zikala was broken into by freedom fighters. Icons of the three-headed god were destroyed, holy texts were thrown out into the streets, and religious murals were defaced. No priests were present when this happened. Commander Huwaytat promised to turn the temple into a proper church for the worship of the Twin Suns. Preaching the alien faith has already been outlawed.

A significant Unathi population still remains on the planet. Although most of them remained loyal to the Overlord, the Liberation Front has decided to allow them to continue living in Gakal’zaal. Soldiers were stationed close to Unathi neighborhoods to prevent any kind of reprisal. Freedom of worship was granted to the aliens, with the clear exception in regards to proselytizing. The fate of the guilds remains unclear, as many Tajara consider them as an unfair exploitation of their work and resources.

After Zikala was secured, the Gakal’zaal Liberation Front announced the creation of the Free Republic of Gakal’zaal, the first Tajaran nation outside of S'rand'marr. Commander Huwaytat was elected to be its leader. President Almrah Harrlala and the national assembly decided to recognize it as a legitimate state shortly after its declaration. Negotiations with the Hegemony are currently underway.

The victory on Gakal’zaal is another step towards the liberation of the Tajara across the galaxy. All must carry the flame of Al'mariism in this struggle.

Amohda Seized by Separatists; Liberation Army Paralyzed!
 

Despite the warnings, the Amohdan separatists decided to carry on with their traitorous plans of secession. Yesterday a single message proclaiming the independence of the Island was sent to Shastar City before all communication was cut. An emergency meeting was called by President Almrah Harrlala, with all representatives attending. 

While the discussion was underway, more news of the takeover reached the assembly. A group of government officials present at the Island was able to escape using a gyrodyne. They reached Sren’dul in time to contact the authorities. The rebels acted up without prior warning, hunting down anyone against their vile cause. The Mrrazhakulii under Yaropolk Yazar murdered and arrested loyal soldiers and commanders during the night. All across the Island, Amohdan warriors joined them with weapons in hand. Federal buildings and armories were captured with ease. Radio stations were also disabled to stop any kind of coordinate defense. Loyal Liberation Army forces were quickly subjugated by the traitors. Intelligence agencies suspect that the separatists are being supported by the New Kingdom of Adhomai. The Island is now silent and controlled by the separatists.

While the National Assembly decided that military intervention is necessary, they could not reach an agreement on many aspects of the plan. The Shungsta Junta refused to send their soldiers, pointing out that they are essential to maintain the order in the region. The Rrhaza-Akhran of Sren'dul claimed to be unable to help invade the Island due to the threat of monarchist rock nomads raids at the northern frontier. Crevus refused to lend their ships without proper payment. The representatives of Southern Rasn'rr and Das’nrra have agreed in organizing an amphibious assault to retake Amohda, but cannot carry on with the operation without support from the rest of the military. Ex-supreme Commander Nated attempted to appeal to the unity of the Tajara people in their struggle, his plea was quickly drowned by the sound of the discussion and accusations.

The National Assembly concluded its emergency meeting without reaching a consensus. Ex-interim president Brajrr Alnadruskiy, leader of the Free Tajaran People's Party, has criticized President Harrlala’s leadership as “weak”.

[Alberyk]

Supreme Commander Nated Returns to the Control of the Liberation Army!

 

As the crisis in Amohda entered its third day, the National Assembly was still unable to reach an agreement concerning the invasion of the Island. Ex-interim president Brajrr Alnadruskiy suggested the restoration of Halkiikijr Nated'Hakhan to the office of Supreme Commander of the Liberation Army. His proposal was met with intense protesting by the civil representatives and President Harrlala; junta and military members praised the idea. Both sides continued to accuse each other of betraying the principles of Al’mariism as the discussion continued. Ex-commander Nated was then allowed to speak. Silence took over the assembly when Nated stood up to speak:

Quote

"People of Adhomai, today they face a crisis in our Republic. The flame of Al’mariism is under the threat of being extinguished by the monarchists and by their disunion. This is their plan; to divide and then conquer the Republic. They can not put the fate of the Tajara people at risk. Amohda must be recovered. However, they can not retake the island without the military. The Liberation Army is the sword of Al’mariism, and they must not ignore its usefulness. While the civil government might be its hand, it is defenseless without it. 

They are strong together. They have defeated the Hadiist usurper and his NanoTrasen master. They have liberated an entire world from the hands of the alien. The enemies of the Tajara fear them. They fear the Liberation Army. They will not bow down to anyone. They can defeat any foe if they remain united. They must continue to fight no matter what.

He has resigned from my position for the sake of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. He will return to his position as the Supreme Commander if it is necessary to save their dream. He will lead their soldiers to victory against the Amohdan separatists. He will not fail their people if given this chance. For the future of the Tajara species, make the right choice today."

The National Assembly remained silent minutes after the speech was over. Negotiations resumed when Nated returned to his seat. Both civil and military representatives agreed that the restoration of centralized leadership was necessary to coordinate the invasion of Amohda. With the approval of President Almrah Harrlala, the post of Supreme Commander was restored and granted to Nated. The office of Supreme Commander has powers equivalent to that of the President. However, the command of the Liberation Army has been transferred to Nated, alongside with the territories controlled by the juntas.

The juntas of Sren'dul and Harr'masir pledged their support for the incoming invasion under Nated’s command. Crevus agreed to lend its ship; gambling taxes imposed on the city suffered a deduction as a compensation for their participation. The national assembly concluded its meetings with a round of applause dedicated to Supreme Command Nated. The Liberation Army was permitted to plan the invasion of Amohda. The future of Al’mariism has been saved by our brave leaders.

The Free Republic of Gakal’zaal Joins the Nation

 

Weeks after the liberation of Gakal’zaar from alien domination, the people of the planet have made another step towards the future of the Tajara. They have decided, through a fair and direct referendum, to join the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai. The colony becomes an autonomous state; it is given the freedom to deal with most of its internal matters while being protected by the Adhomai Liberation Army. A military government, controlled by Commander Andranik Huwaytat, remains in place to guarantee a safe transition. Liberation Front's freedom fighters has been incorporated into the ranks of the Liberation Army.

The Unathi population in Gakal’zaar is allowed to live and prosper on the planet in peace. However, the feudal structures and nobility titles have been completely abolished. The existing guilds are being nationalized, following a mixed model that exists in our Republic. Both Tajara and Unathi will be given the rights to their work. Freedom of religion is extended to any alien living in Gakal’zaar, with proselytizing still being forbidden.

In an attempt to mend the relationship between both species, President Almrah Harrlala and the national assembly decided to lift the embargo against the Hegemony and pay the necessary reparations for the loss of Gakal’zaal. The Izweski Nation recognized the incorporation of the planet, forfeiting any claim to it. Despite these acts, President Harrlala has made clear that our Republic is not willing to stand down to any alien oppressor.

Liberation Army Secures Amohda!

 

The Liberation Army, under the wise leadership of Supreme Commander Nated, has successfully invaded and recaptured the rebellious state of Amohda. In the lead-up to the assault, a division of Hotak’s Commandos were dispatched to the island under cover of darkness. These elite soldiers infiltrated the isle’s interior and contacted loyal dissidents amongst the civilian populace. Working alongside these Al’mariist patriots, they seized radio towers and established contact with the Army. Despite fierce crackdowns and purges on the part of the separatists, a sizable resistance movement remained active in Amohda. The commandos also worked to undermine the traitorous separatists through sabotage and the elimination of key military officers and political targets. While coordinating with these brave freedom fighters, the Liberation Army focused its effort on securing a proper landing site for the amphibious assault. The northeast region of the island was chosen due to the low concentration of separatists forces and light fortifications.

Air Brigade bombers soared high in the sky and bombarded enemy defenses and fortifications in a brutal display of military might, providing critical support for the transport vessels approaching the shoreline - ships that carried our patriots into battle. Members of the resistance engaged coastal garrisons as well, allowing landing crafts to reach the beaches unmolested. Hro’rammhad tanks and other light armored vehicles were deployed first to provide cover for troops as they disembarked. These brave, fearless soldiers charged forward through heavy machine gun fire and unrelenting artillery strikes, quickly overpowering the separatists with the help of the resistance guerilla fighters. With the coast secure, even more reinforcements and armor landed on the island to bolster the planned attack inland.

The Amohdan rebels were no match for the might of the Liberation Army. As hardened, triumphant soldiers marched into the countryside, Al’mariist guerilla units joined them. Weapons caches were unearthed and retired soldiers took up arms in the defense of their Nation. The Liberation Army swept away the traitors with little effort, forcing them to rely on ambushes and other underhanded tactics. Desperate, separatist Amohdan warriors charged en masse in futile suicide runs against our forces, but were easily cut down before they could inflict serious casualties. Other, far more wise swordsmen brought their blades in service of Nated. In less than one week the Liberation Army reached the capital city.

The city of Amohda was retaken after a brief skirmish - the city’s garrison fled their posts and abandoned their positions to avoid engaging in bloody urban warfare. The remaining rebels retreated from the other cities and concentrated their forces in the countryside. The Liberation Army currently occupies most of the island, with all major urban centers under its control. Task forces are scouring the countryside to eliminate pockets of the traitorous resistance. An offer of amnesty was also given to anyone that took part in the uprising and wishes to return to the rightful cause. Yaropolk Yazar, the traitorous Rrhaza-Akhran, could not be located; military command suspects that he escaped to the New Kingdom. 

The National Assembly praised the quick and precise response of the Liberation Army in safeguarding the future of the Democratic People’s Republic. Rahman Hajduk, a general loyal to the Al’mariist cause, was appointed as the new Rrhaza-Akhran of Amohda by Supreme Commander Nated.

Supreme Commander Nated Denounces Solarian Tyranny!

 

An emergency meeting was called earlier today in Shastar City; the National Assembly was hastily gathered and an informal session of government was held under the guidance of Supreme Commander Nated over a matter that was deemed of ‘significant national importance’. News of the death of the Solarian Prime Minister Michael Frost prompted this hasty response so that the government might quickly come together in a debate over the consequences this might have not only for Adhomai, but also for the galaxy at large.

After a short few hours of deliberation, high-ranking members of the Assembly gathered on the steps of the capitol and called an impromptu press conference. Our coalition of reporters was graced with the presence of Supreme Commander Nated, who took the opportunity to address citizens both at home and abroad over the reports of the Prime Minister’s passing:

“The heinous crimes of the Solarian government were brought to their penultimate karmic conclusion as the shocking news of Prime Minister Michael Frost’s death reverberated across the galaxy. After spending so long seeking out a scapegoat in our Tajara brothers and sisters and even going so far as to abandon one of their core worlds to burn in the pursuit of greed, the death of this despot is only the natural result of the campaign of authoritarianism and warmongering that the Alliance has been engaged in for so long.

Make no mistake, my friends - the Alliance is in its death throes. Their glorious leader is dead, their government is falling apart, and the worlds that once made up their territories now cry out for justice and for independence. To all of the Tajara who remain in the Sol system, and especially to those who were abandoned to burn on Mars by the callous machinations of the Alliance government: now is the time to rise up. Rise up, and secure your liberty. The hearts and minds of the people of the Democratic People’s Republic are with you in this moment. 

The death of the tyrant Michael Frost should be celebrated - no longer need you remain under his yoke. No longer will we remain under the heel of the Alliance! Rise up against your oppressors in the Alliance, and show them you are a people to be respected. They are weak, my friends, and now that they are vulnerable, it is the perfect opportunity to strike. Show them the consequences of their Tajara ban, and prove to them that the Tajara people will not be silenced!”

The Supreme Commander’s moving speech was met by a standing ovation; Tajara took to the streets both in Shastar City and all across the country to celebrate the death of the Solarian autocrat and to show their support for the Tajara who remain in the Sol system. As of this moment, no official death toll of the Martian catastrophe has been released, and we are unable to verify how many innocent Tajara were brutally murdered by the Alliance government’s experiment. However, the Assembly has vowed to investigate and hold the failing Solarian Alliance’s representatives accountable.

Hadiist Tyrants Disrespects the Armistice; Families Separated

 

In another act befitting of his paranoia and tyranny, the Hadiist usurper has arrested a family of five without proper justification. Zahid Rhakislav - alongside his wife Shahar and three children - was detained while moving from Al’mari to Shungsta. All of them had recently acquired the proper citizenship to reunite with their extended family peacefully living in our nation, a right well earned to all Tajara after a decade of war. The family had decided to leave their home to live with Shahar’s grandparents, who were struggling to make a living in Northern Ras'nrr. The lack of empathy in the Hadiist regime is clear.

The Hadiist secret police may claim that the victims were spies, but this could not be farther from the truth. They have no intention of fulfilling the Armistice agreement: at the first opportunity, they create hurdles and spread lies to stop Tajara from joining the righteous cause of Al’mariism. 

President Almrah Harrlala demanded the deportation of the family to the Democratic People’s Republic territory, so they may unite with their kin. The usurper has no right to interfere in the treaty signed by all nations of Adhomai. His orders to freeze the bloated Hadiist bureaucracy to stop more Tajara from escaping his nightmarish state is an act of aggression. This is proof that Malik does not desire peace on Adhomai, only more power to himself. The Tajara people stand against this.

Liberation Army Reveals New Weapon!

 

Supreme Commander Nated has announced today that the Liberation Army has conducted its first successful nuclear weapons test. Product of years of secret development by the brightest minds in the Republic, the bomb known as “First Thunder” was detonated in an undisclosed location in Gakal'zaal. This achievement was praised by the civil administration as a necessary step towards securing the independence and future of the Tajaran people. Footage of the detonation was broadcasted through the television and is now available to the public on the extranet.

Quote

The footage displays a snowy tundra at first. The camera then pans around until it focuses on a lone structure; a wooden tower with a large metallic device on the top. The video cuts and now shows the inside of a pillbox. A group of Tajara wearing gastight hazmat suits are standing around, one of them is holding a radio and another is wielding a rifle. The same tundra from before can be seen through the building’s loophole. The Tajara are talking to each other until a message is transmitted by the radio. The group and the cameraman move to the window to observe the outside world. Some of them are watching the horizon with binoculars; they all stand in silence.

“Initiate the test.” a voice says in Siik’maas. Nothing happens in the next thirty seconds. The group becomes agitated and starts to question and blame each other for the supposed failure.

The discussion is interrupted by a sudden explosion outside. A blinding flash of light invades the bunker. A massive fireball appears on the horizon. The Tajara starts to celebrate as a cloud rises from the explosion site. The sound of a bottle being open can be heard. The camera continues to film the column of smoke before the video is cut.

Despite the approval by President Almrah Harrlala and the National Adhomai Worker's Party, the news about the test was not well-received by all members of the National Assembly. The Adhomian Blue Party thoroughly condemned the development of nuclear weapons, citing the environmental dangers of such technology. The Free Tajaran People's Party urged the government to intensify the production of the bombs to safeguard the nation against the Hadiist menace. Rrhaza-Akhran Rahman Hadjuk supported the test, praising the wisdom and leadership of Supreme Commander Nated. The Southern Harr'masir junta suggested that the deployment of those weapons should be decided through voting between the Liberation Army’s command. Ahem Kah’nrir demanded unrestricted access to the future nuclear arsenal; a request that was largely ignored by the National Assembly and Supreme Commander Nated. Rrhaza-Akhran Alexeii K’marr did not comment on the matter. 

Following hours of debate and voting, the National Assembly has decided that the Supreme Commander of the Liberation Army has the sole authority to order the use of nuclear weapons. This resolution was far from being unanimous; many members of the Assembly promised to request another vote in the future.

While this explosive was considerably less powerful than the one used against Quizosa, the Liberation Army assured the National Assembly that the production of stronger devices is underway. The Democratic People’s Republic now stands as equal against the Hadiist usurper. Al’mariism is one step closer to the total victory against the enemies of the Tajara. Further development of weapons and peaceful technologies continues as a part of the national nuclear program.

Liberation Army Initiative Bears Fruits; Supreme Commander Announces the Expansion of Experimental Division!

 

In the struggle against the enemies of Al’mariism, no weapon should be ignored. Armed with this knowledge, the Liberation Army has revealed its newest initiative to prepare the nation in case of conflict. During a National Assembly meeting, Supreme Commander Nated has announced the modernization and expansion of army divisions specialized in chemical warfare: the Experimental Compound Troopers. These soldiers’ main function is the deployment of gas to assault fortified positions during offensives. 

Outside of their conventional weaponry, Experimental Compound Troopers will now be equipped with an experimental weapon: the Acid Thrower. This device is a flamethrower-like mechanism heavily modified to spray acid at short distances; the muzzle-gun is fed through a hose connected to a tank strapped on the trooper’s back. The chosen compound, known as "Vodryanic", was initially developed by the Shsastar Technical University as an industrial acid. Later tests in partnership with the Liberation Army’s development department discovered that the substance was far more effective in dissolving organic matter. Any unprotected area exposed to high concentrations would soon undergo rapid tissue degradation. The gas created by the reaction was observed to possess choking properties. The university was also tasked with designating the Acid Thrower and the bodysuits for the troopers.

Supreme Commander Nated added that the mass production of their new gear and training is already a possibility. As part of their testing phase, the Liberation Army offered to transfer a limited number of divisions to the ruling Rrhaza-Akhran. The proposal and the reveal of this initiative deeply divided the national assembly. The civilian representatives and the National Adhomai Worker's Party opposed what they called "indiscriminate use of chemical weapons", claiming that it would likely invite further retaliation from their enemies. The Adhomian Blue Party left the meeting in protest, accusing the Liberation Army of ignoring the possible effects of the new chemical in the environment. The Free Tajaran People's Party and the Followers of Nated praised this development; citing the need to use all available tools to guarantee the survival of Al’mariism. Among the junta leaders, only Rahman Hadjuk and Ahem Kah’nrir accepted Nated’s offer. Hadjuk promised to deploy the Experimental Compound Troopers in his campaign to eradicate the remaining Amohdan nationalist holdouts. Kah’nrir merely mentioned his intentions in helping with the tests.

The National Adhomai Worker's Party attempted to organize a vote to stop the expansion of the Experimental Compound Troopers. However, the motion was considered unconstitutional because of Supreme Commander Nated’s jurisdiction over the Liberation Army.

Religious Mural Causes Unrest in Gakal’zaal

 

The opening of the Temple of the Free Suns in Zikala, Gakal’zaal’s capital, sparked controversy in the alien community of the planet. Originally a church established by the Unathi invader, the building was confiscated by the Liberation Army to be transformed into a place of worship of the Twin Suns. Under direct orders of the Andranik Huwaytat, the Rrhaza-Akhran of Gakal’zaal, the building had all of its Sk'akh imagery removed and replaced by paintings and idols made by local artisans. The main source of unrest was a religious mural on the walls of the nave. The piece portrays Messa as a soldier of the Liberation Front standing over a fallen three-headed Unathi warrior. The Goddess is plunging the bayonet of her rifle in a crack on the Sinta’s breacher suit. The background is a faithful recreation of a Gakal’zaal’s steppe; a common site for the skirmishes between the freedom fighters and the alien forces during the liberation of the colony.

The main complaints came from the Unathi Community in Gakal’zaal; they claimed that the depiction of Sk'akh in the mural was offensive and hostile. A group quickly formed at the temple’s door after the news spread to the rest of the city. The gathering turned into a protest demanding that the church be closed. Liberation Army forces dispersed the crowd after a counter-protest in defense of the mural started to form. Sinta representatives also requested the removal of the painting. Rrhaza-Akhran Huwaytat dismissed their concerns, explaining that the piece was merely an expression of their history. The matter was then brought to the Nation Assembly after a member of the civilian administration was contacted by an Unathi merchant. However, the support for Huwaytat’s decision was unanimous. The Free Tajaran People's Party praised the planet for its proud display of Al’mariism.

The Bandit King Drokzisz Yizarus vowed to personally destroy the mural. The Liberation Army then dared him and his brigade to attack Zikala. Extra soldiers have been deployed around the Temple’s perimeter to prevent any kind of violence. The priests responsible for the church explained that the piece was made under their supervision and that it was not intended to provoke anyone. Rrhaza-Akhran Andranik Huwaytat assured the population that he has no ill intentions towards the Unathi population.

National Assembly Declares the Rhazkjara Valley a Protected Zone

 

Since the Second Revolution, the Rhazkjara Valley has played an important role in the defense of Al’mariist ideals in Ras'nrr; as its population was one of the first to rise against the Hadiist usurper. But the liberation left deep scars both in its people and land. The atomic bombing of Quizosa and countless atrocities committed by the Hadiists caused untold destruction. To help repair this damage, the National Assembly declared the Rhazkjara Valley a Protected Reconstruction Zone.

A Protected Reconstruction Zone is a special designation given to civilian administration territories undergoing a crisis. These regions will receive extra material and monetary support from the national government. Specialists are being dispatched to plan and support the development of the region. Special laws and exceptions are applied to protect the local nature and population from further damage. Besides the regional militia, Liberation Army forces are forbidden from entering the Protected Reconstruction Zones without permission from the National Assembly.

The proposal was brought by Doctor Aleksandra Hro'makar with the backing of the National Adhomai Worker's Party. The proposal was almost unanimously agreed upon by all present members. The Adhomian Blue Party praised the project as a step in protecting the Adhomian environment. The only opposition came from Ahem Kah'nrir and Rahman Hadjuk claiming that the money spent on the reconstruction would be better used for funding the military. They retracted their opposition after Supreme Commander Nated promised extra weapons shipments to Northern Ras'nrr and Amohda.

The Rhazkjara Valley is now the first Protected Reconstruction Zone. President Almrah Harrlala offered to give other regions the same benefits if their ruling juntas step down to allow a transition to a civilian administration.

Border Tensions Escalate in Amohda

 

In the aftermath of a supposed ALA plot to devastate the Republican-occupied city of Chaniska, the PRA-DPRA border of the isle has seen a larger presence of Republican troops, causing concern for locals. The Rrhaza-Akhran Rahman Hadjuk has declared his intentions in a public radio address to move more of his forces towards the area. The Rrhaza-Akhran also stated his suspicions on there being ALA cells within the city still, citing that the Liberation Army had no knowledge of this. In his address, he says:

Quote

"Beyond that border rests the land of his people. Their land, his fellow Amohdans, their land. Their land that we were forced to abandon during the war. Their land which our forefathers lived, fought, and died on. What do these Republicans know of it? Of the history of Chaniska? Nothing more than what their Njarir master in Nal’tor tells them. The Liberation Army remain ready to defend the isle, even if such false charges have been put to them. A liberation cell within Chaniska? Ridiculous. How could one operate there, when even the Supreme Commander told them to stand down? Lies, his fellows. Lies! The royalist fools of this isle fell into Hadiist hands and have given them justifications to try and intimidate its rightful. No matter. These Republicans will find the Al’mariist steel stronger than that of Yaropolk’s lackwits."

Several detachments of toxin troopers are expected to arrive at the border in a few days along with a small armor division. Numerous engineers on the isle are being called on to begin constructing further fortifications there. Rrhaza-Akhran Hadjuk has also put forward requests to Supreme Commander Nated, Commander Hotak, and Rrhaza-Akhran Muhr’fal for additional troops and support. The former Rrhaza-Akhran of Amohda and wanted criminal Yaropolk Yazar remains at large on the isle; however, the administration of Rrhaza’Akhran Hadjuk now have reasonable cause to believe that he may be hiding in the PRA-controlled region. 

Reporters on the ground at Amohda say that Al'mariist rallies have gripped the towns and cities. Chants supporting a unified Amohda and the liberation of Chaniska have filled the squares and parks. Recruitment drives have already seen an increase in sign-ups as men and women volunteer to join the ranks. Updates continues as the situation develops.

Rrhaza-Akhran Rahman Hadjuk Ordered to Stand Down By Supreme Commander Nated, Border Conflict Cools

 

The Amohda border stand-off has come to a halt as Supreme Commander Nated, along with President Harrlala, have issued a joint statement to Rrhaza-Akhran Hadjuk to de-escalate the situation and pull his army troops back. The statement is as follows:

Quote

The situation at the Chaniska border is not developing to the advantage of the Amohdan people. The goal of further liberation is an ideal one, but for now, it cannot be attained there. The garrison of the Rrhaza-Akhran of Amohda is expected to hold back and be assigned further from the border. Fortifications may continue as we cannot predict how the republican enemy may react to this. We hope their minds are not so corrupted that they take this gesture as an invitation to attack the free people, lest they incur the wrath of the liberators once again.

Rrhaza-Akhran Muhr’fal has declared that while he continues to assist in safeguarding the DPRA, the orders of the Supreme Commander are absolute. Troop transports from Southern Harr’masir have stopped and soldiers that were to be sent to assist in any defensive measures have been returned to their original posts on the continent. No word has been given from Commander Hotak, who was also requested to assist with the border situation. Rrhaza-Akhran Hadjuk is reportedly withdrawn from the public eye for the time being. Officers close to him have stated that the news has put Rhaza-Akhran Hadjuk into a deep fury. This sentiment has also been shared by the civilian population of not just Amohda, but across the nation. 

Massive protests have broken out in the regional capital of Amohda over the de-escalation order. Local police and military have joined in as well, and unconfirmed reports have come of suspected civilian government supporters being arrested or assaulted. Districts in Shastar city are reporting violent protests in the capital spearheaded by the Followers of Nated and the Free Tajaran People’s Party. Many of these protestors have been shouting slogans decrying the President and their rivals in the assembly, claiming them to be weak and influencing Supreme Commander Nated’s vision of Adhomai. The government has already called in additional guards to protect the President and other politicians for the time being.

Civilian Officials Accuses the Northern Ras'nrr Junta of Crimes Against its People

 

Today at the National Assembly, representatives of the Rhazkjara Valley and Das'nrra lodged an official complaint against the Northern Ras'nrr junta. Civilian authorities claim that Ahem Kah'nrir has taken exceedingly harsh measures to halt the free movement of people through national territory. To stop the population from leaving his territory, Ahem allegedly banned the use of any kind of boat by civilians; fishing was also forbidden for reasons unknown. His soldiers visited coastal settlements, destroying any kind of ship they found; not even simple canoes were spared. Entire villages watched as their means of sustenance were burned before their eyes. Ships docked at the port of Shungsta were seized during the night; anyone resisting the confiscation was arrested.

The Rhazkjara representative accused Kah'nrir's soldiers of laying landmines and intentionally blocking the road leading to the valley. Tajara attempting to return to their homes were told to turn back at gunpoint. Barbed wires fences and checkpoints are being constructed on the northern borders.

Ahem Kah'nrir labeled the accusations exaggerated. He explained that the requisition of the ship was necessary for the protection of his territory. When questioned about the Rhazkjara border, the Rrhaza-Akhran accused the Reconstruction Zone of harboring Hadiist and Loyalist bandits that were stealing his supplies. Kah'nrir then called fishing decadent and unfit for a true Tajara. He finished his explanation by demanding extra funding:

Quote

"They need more funds and weapons. Al'mari would surely favor those who stand against his enemies. Ahem's efforts in the struggle against the usurper and his band of degenerate animals should be their priority - not feeding some fat bureaucrats afraid of accomplishing Al'mari's true dreams!"

The National Adhomai Worker's Party demanded the removal of Kah'nrir from his position as soon as possible. Adhomian Blue Party supported the motion, claiming that landmines are very damaging to the environment. Members of the Free Tajaran People's Party opposed taking any action until a complete investigation is done. Other Rrhaza-Akhran remained silent while waiting for Nated's decision. Supreme Commander Nated decided to dispatch a team of Liberation Army officers under Hotak's supervision to investigate Northern Ras'nrr. President Almrah Harrlala urged the Supreme Commander to act quickly.

Specialists warned the National Assembly of the possibility of another famine in Northern Ras'nrr if the situation does not improve. Reconstruction efforts at the Rhazkjara Valley will be severely impaired as long as the roads remain blocked.

Commander Hotak Delivers his Report on Northern Ras'nrr

 

Commander Hotak has visited the National Assembly today to present the report on Northern Ras'nrr. The agents arrived in Shungsta via gyrodynes departing from Crevus. After being welcomed by commander Ahem Kah'nrir himself, the inspectors spent a night in the city before continuing the investigation. Hotak's Tajara then toured the southern and northern borders of Northern Rasn'rr to ascertain if the claims made by the civilian administration were true. The team returned yesterday to Shastar City to present their findings to Commander Hotak.

Commander Kyff Hotak, with his pet farwa perched on his shoulder, stood before the Nation Assembly to deliver his verdict: 

Quote

"The Liberation Army Command has investigated the territories under the jurisdiction of Rrhaza-Akhran Ahem Kah'nrir. They have found a shining example of dedication to the Al'mariist cause. Checkpoints and fortifications were indeed erected on the northern frontier, but they also exist on the southern border. The clear purpose of these fortifications is not to stop the movement of the population, but to prepare for the inevitable conflict with the Hadiist to the south. The enemy will have to overcome formidable defenses if they ever attempt to conquer Northern Ras'nrr. Instead of accusing Commander Kah'nirir of crimes, they should follow his example and prepare for the inevitable."

Representatives of the civilian administration, the National Adhomai Worker's Party, and the Adhomian Blue Party accused Commander Hotak of bias and demanded another investigation led by elected representatives. The Liberation Army, Followers of Nated, and the Free Tajaran People's Party recognized the report as valid and opposed another inspection. Supreme Commander Nated accepted the verdict and decided to take no action against Kah'nirir.

After Nated's decision was announced, Commander Kahan Hro'rammhad asked for permission to speak. With almost unanimous agreement from the National Assembly, Commander Hro'rammhad spoke:

Quote

"The preparations for a future conflict should not hinder the reconstruction efforts and the well-being of their people. Kahan has a plan to help the Rhazkjara Valley without interfering with Kah'nirir's schemes. He has contacted Air Brigades to airlift supplies and personnel to the Protected Reconstruction Zone; the planes take off from Das'nrra and fly over the valley. This allows them to maintain the aid while avoiding unnecessary work for Northern Ras'nrr's checkpoints."

Hro'rammhad's proposal was praised by the civilian administration and the National Adhomai Worker's Party. The only opposition came from Commander Hotak and Kah'nirir claiming that the airdrops will be a waste of fuel. Supreme Commander Nated approved the plan. Autogyros will now start to take off weekly from Shastar City and Crevus to the Rhazkjara Valley.

Democratic Revolution and Liberation Day Celebrations Held across Adhomai and Beyond!

 

The anniversary of the declaration of the Democratic People’s Republic of Adhomai has finally reached its fourth year. While it has been a short time in our people’s history, the gears of revolution turn fast, and the toil of the common Tajara has accomplished much under our government and army. In just a year and a half of peace, we have sewn our ideology of freedom for the Tajara peoples across the stars to Gakal’zaal and continue to provide Tajara abroad with assistance for their own struggles. Refugee families, clergymen, workers, soldiers, politicians and commanders have all gathered to celebrate this auspicious day in their own ceremonies.  

Shastar City has rung in the holiday in the typical fashion: With fireworks and fire bombs alike. Pro-military government riots began at approximately 8:56 AM local time with a crowd setting fire to several warehouses before beginning a march west through the city. Shouted slogans of the ALA preceded the wave of violence that these rioters brought to the boroughs of Shastar City.  Police response was heavy to try and contain the riots, but several groups of counter-protestors were assaulted and battered before law enforcement could assist. In spite of these attacks President Harrlala and her cabinet took to the Heroes of Gakal’zaal square for her address. The freshly-built monument resembled more so an army camp than a park. Riot squads and barricades were put in to prevent any clashes from protestors. In attendance were hundreds of members of the Free Assembly and invited citizens. Taking the stage and standing between two massive banners of our nation and before a impressive statue of a liberator, the President opened the ceremony with a speech: 

Quote

“Every year comes this day to remember what Tajara fought for and always fight for. Peace. Unity. A dream for all Tajara regardless of race, culture, or class, to live free and happy. It is a dream that is in the hands of the people. Like a flame it must be nurtured against the winds that wish to snuff it out and leave the Tajara in the darkness. It is nurtured by all of society, from the farmer to the doctor to the scientist. People like fireman Oakir La’nzharr, who saved the lives of twelve people with his quick thinking. People like doctor Jurlma Khazmrrr, credited with halting an outbreak of disease in Trizar. It is the efforts of these heroes who carry on the burning torch of Al’mariism, and may it never be extinguished!”

Following her address the President began to hand medals to civilian heroes from the Republic. Notable recipients of the Adhomai Hero of the Liberation Medal this year include documentary filmmaker Ianna Rarrr-mak and anti-child homelessness philanthropist Timak Ojakrr.  At the ceremony’s end, the President entered a motorcade bound for the city railyard. There she joined with Supreme Commander Nated to attend a gala organized by Crevan mayor Mazula Azaula in a luxury train. Invitations to this gala were also sent to the Rrhaza-Akhran who opted to instead attend their local festivities for this year. 

Northern Ras’nrr’s Rrhaza-Akhran, Ahem Kah’nirir, has once again denied any requests to hold celebrations in his administered lands. Citing that the holiday was a distraction from reconstruction efforts, the commander ordered his troops to stop any celebrations from taking place for the day. Ahem’s ongoing blockage of routes to the protected Rhazkjara Valley has also dampened spirits among the workers and resettlers there. Despite that, small feasts were held and dedicated to Commander Hro’rammhad for his assistance there.  

The isle of Amohda has for the second time this year been awash in cultural fervor. Swordsman lodges held massive tournaments for the day with local army officers both officiating and participating. The regional capital was filled with cheering crowds as Rrhaza-Akhran Rahman Hadjuk directed a vast military parade in the streets of the city. Displayed in it was a great number of captured royalists and hadiists found on the island. These prisoners were pelted with stones and trash as they were forcefully marched in the parade. Rahman later delivered a two hour long speech speaking on his wishes to grant his children a unified Amohda and discussing the significance of the Amohdan heritage. He had also taken the time to decry the civilian government and President Harrlala for ordering the army to stand down during the Chaniska border conflict. 

Southern Harr’masir’s people had a day filled with festivals and fairs. Celebrations organized by Rrhaza-Akran Muhr’fal’s administration took place to commemorate the victories of the Second Revolution. All denizens of the continent were free to enjoy the festivities of drinking and shooting competitions, concerts, and zhsfram races. Rrhaza-Akran Muhr’fal himself participated in some events in Dolor, at one point wowing an entire crowd of on-lookers as he fired precise shots into distant targets with a repeater rifle. Following that the Rrhaza-Akran retired to a nearby lake to fish with his extended family. Incidents of banditry were expectedly low this day. Local authorities say this is likely because of criminals choosing to celebrate the occasion with their families rather than continue their raids.   

Abroad, Tajara commemorated this day with the same patriotism as any citizen on Adhomai. The planet of Gakal’zaal had smaller personal celebrations in their homes. Parties gathered to drink, dance, and listen to once-banned music from home. The military on Gakal’zaal were unable to participate in the day however due to the continued raids of the Yizarus Brigade on the planet. Spirits were also high among the Tajara of Biesel. At the “Little Adhomai” district of Mendell City, local community leaders organized their yearly party at a local plaza. Among the numerous events held there was also an impromptu concert by the band “Bloodstorm”, who reportedly showed up uninvited by organizers and took a stage meant for a rival DJ. 

Supreme Commander Nated himself met with researchers at the Shastar Technical University to congratulate them on advancements in tank technology. Before the Supreme Commander departed to join President Harrlala at the Shastar City railyard, he spoke with the press gathered at the university’s campus. 

Quote

“It is important to remember what this holiday truly represents. Tajara are a people who survived the worst the enemy could muster. Corporate enslavement, despotism, destructive ideologies, none of it mattered against the might of the united Tajara people! It is a glorious thing to behold. Celebrate, be with family and friends, praise the greatness of our leaders and respect those who fought for the democratic republic to be able to have this day.”
