Bunker Incident

Betel Annexation of the Doisu
After the Doisu War came to an end 39 years earlier, the former city-state fell under Recycler suzerainty. Doisu culture was highly educated after using automation and robots to eliminate lower skilled work, and so the conquered citizens were integrated primarily into research positions. To this day many Doisu, especially the older ones, resent the Betel for the war and their subsequent treatment. Their former allies, the Wolnch Authority, would find themselves threatened by the Betel.

Zaretian Raid on Betel
With intelligence suggesting that the Betel would be more likely to side with the Peacekeepers because of strong trade relations with its members, the decision was made to attempt to forcibly puppet the Betel through a surgical strike against the Recycler national government. Failing that, killing the Betel's nascent militarism in the crib would suffice. Otherwise occupied, the operation would need to be small scale. Through carefully orchestrated quiet sabotages, a path to the planet Betel as created. Despite some hitches, a Zaretian invasion force would arrive and launch a number of ground assaults whilst a small space fleet covered orbit. Failure would ultimately be the result after the Zaretians were repulsed, but the situation continued demanded attention.
