## Background story

After the breakup of the Soviet Union the Slavia republic that earlier was autonomy within Primoria, desired more independence. But Slavia people' aspiration met the misunderstanding from the nationalistic Primoria leadership. This misunderstanding soon turned into the military confrontation. The bloody conflict took many lives, but soon it was negated by the combined peacekeeping efforts of Russia and world community. Hostile sides were parted and the peacekeeping contingent of Russian forces took its place between them, preserving the peace for many years. After some time the newly elected president of Primoria, who came to power with the cries of territorial integrity restoration, decided to return rebellious Slavia under his control at all accounts. After a long period of fomenting tension, the president of Primoria gave an order to attack Maklock, the capital of Slavia. But on the way of Primorain militarists there still was a contingent of Russian peacekeepers.
