Region: Barbaria

SIC: Two transport teams are selected from soldiers of the United Steppe's UTF contribution. Two small teams of special operations soldiers are picked from Garnel and Volohk. Once the two teams have been picked they are assembled for a briefing on the broader aspects of the Oriab operation.

The groups meet in a hangar at the Hyperborean Empire's Torture Rock military base. There the group sits or stands together in front of a interactive whiteboard.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I'm Col. Krag and I am here to brief you on Operation Azaim. You will be divided into two teams. Team 1 is the Garneli group. Team 2 is the Volohkian group. Team 1 will be air dropped in the Hadhramaut mountains along the center of Oriab's southern coast near the coastal town of Mukalla. Team 2 will make a beach landing 1,327 km East of team 1 into the Masira Desert near the coastal town of Madrakah. Both infiltration operations will occur under cover of darkness. Following infiltration and once the members of each team have rendezvoused with their team they will meet up with local contacts.

Oriab has had a long history of various nomadic tribes engaging in raids and guerilla actions against the government and settlements of Oriab. We have negotiated deals with some of these tribes. Team 1 will meet with the Harb tribe and team 2 will meet with the Maqil tribe. Both teams along with their tribal allies will rendezvous at Heru oasis which will serve as a main base camp and meeting place for the teams and tribal allies. Both teams however will adopt a nomadic lifestyle and travel amongst the various oasis to avoid being killed or captured. Tribal allies will also put teams into contact with civilian contacts in various communities which the teams shall use as a source of supplies. Both teams will use these tribal allies to establish a network of allies in Oriab. Once this network has been established then phase 3 will begin and the mission of both teams will be updated.

Any questions?"
