The year was 2001 in the continent of Bonia was a hellscape, With the principality wars raging on for years, Both sides blindly threw their man and war machines into the meat grinder that is Trench warfare, sometimes Sacraficing a thousand soldiers for just a meter of land. But to understand the brutality and bloodshed that is the Principality war, we need to understand the cause of this chaos.
Bovia, 1950
The Principality of Urunia was the sole Empire of Bovia, with their fields and roads spanning from the Ports of Barran, to the Spice Fields of Pocen. And under the rule of King Broch St. Paul IV, Urunia Quickly grew and grew, but after news of riots breaking out in the south, St. Paul's advisors started questioning, were they expanding... a bit too much? But, Broch pressed on, Leading his armies to crush the Sh'wak Natives that had long be resisting Urunian influence since the both sides discovered each other's existence.
1985
Was when the inevitable happened, All of the beaurcrats, Mayors, and governors in Urunia's eastern regions have decided, they want independence
and they want it now. Urunia's armed forces, after so much years of colonization, non-stop conquest, and Constant Fatigue finally had enough, and Sided with The revolutionaries, And Broch was forced to sue for peace. Forced to give up most of his land that he had spent so much years conquering or Buying off, after the signing of the peace treaty with the revolutionaries- Broch committed suicide, he was 79 years old, Urunia's Heir had some big shoes to fill, and to fill them he promised.
It was 1996 when it happened, where After years of secret planning, Rebuilding the millitary and restoring the Principality. Urunia, now under the rule of King Jon St. Paul V- Invaded the now Independent and prospering Nation of Seria, A large, but stretched out Nation- with Urban centers scattered throughout the country.
The Serian forces were surprised by the sheer scale of Urunian offensive, But managed to survive thanks to one thing
Trenches
The Serian trenches proved too difficult to capture, and the Urunians were forced to Halt the offensive, and build their own trenches in case of a Serian counter attack. And that's when the Stalemate set in, and throughout the War, more and more advanced technologies were developed that both sides used in a attempt to gain a edge over their foe, Thermal tracking, Satellite technology, IRBMs, Transport helicopters, but all of these advancements just prolonged the stalemate, and produced a deadly cycle
1. One of both sides produces new technology
2. Said side gets advantage for a little while and gains some ground
3. The opposition gains same technology and pushed attackers back
4. Repeat
It's now 1999,and with the exception of the original gains from the Urunian offensive, No real progress has been made from both sides, just a even more brutal stalemate, with both sides launching IRBMs and HE shells at each other's trenches, and creating hundreds of deaths in the process. But then, a Serian general came up with a unique concept, Commando Raids.
You send some platoons of Special forces members behind enemy lines, you wreak havoc on Supply/ammunition depots, barracks, etc.
You get the commandos out Via chopper, and repeat.
The commandos are also going to need Armored support as well, but the general also had a idea for this, uniquely trained tank crews that can be deployed WITH the commandos to provide support, destroy toughter targets, or cover the Commandos's escape.
The idea was approved by command, now here we are...
..in 2001
There are 300 airborne regiments in the Serian armed forces, working around the clock, with Sabatoge, Attacks, and Raids. And along with them, there are Airborne Armored squadrons that goes along for the ride, with specially trained tank crews manning these armore beasts, they are given a name
"Paratankers"
The 256th Paratanker squadron is one of these Paratanker squadrons, This.... is their story
