Set Wars

Rising Tempers
The Set Wars began in 2500, when news that the UNSC was planning to colonize Set, and more specifically the Nemphthys Valley, was heard by the planet's inhabitants. First informed by his Advisors, Abdul Muntaqin was outraged. He had a meeting of nations to deliberate but the UNSC did not recognize Set as an actual government, seeing as how it's inhabitants had settled there unauthorized and unofficially.

In frustration, Abdul began to organize the armies of Set under him for what he anticipated as an invasion by the UNSC. This came to fruition when, on June 8th, UNSC colony ships escorted by naval warships entered the planet's orbit. Carl Patterson, commander of the UNSC forces over Set, was authorized to give a warning to the people of Set. "This is Admiral Carl Patterson of the UNSC Navy. The cities of Anubis, Thoth, and all others have been illegally established without the authorization of the UNSC government, therefore, this colony is subject to be taken by the UNSC and it's inhabitants evicted if for the good of the UNSC. I have been authorized to give you fair warning; we will begin demolishing the city of Anubis to establish a UNSC colony. All citizens are urged to evacuate within the next 24 hours."

- Carl Patterson's statement

This statement angered Muntaqin even further. Now, instead of a feeling of conflict, Muntaqin knew that there would be a fight; there would have to be if the UNSC wanted to throw him from his home. 25 hours later, the UNSC began to demolish the city of Anubis. The citizens of Anubis were commanded by Muntaqin to stand their ground in the city or face the accusation of treason.

Unfortunately, the UNSC thought that the Anubis citizens left as the streets were empty. Stricken by fear, the Anubis citizens decided to flee with only 500 people being killed. What resulted was the imprisonment of 2,000 people and a massive mobilization of Mantuqin's forces.

First Assault of Anubis
Date:June 8th,2500

Location: Anubis

Summary: The First Assault of Anubis was Set's first attempt to remove the UNSC from the planet. Forces from the SAW aswell as volunteers were armed to the teeth and unleashed upon a UNSC ground outpost in Anubis. What resulted in a massive firefight with Set warriors and angry civilians firing into UNSC forces. The UNSC had a steady defense, gunning down rebels with chainguns and pinning down the bulk of SAW soldiers. With UNSC reinforcements coming in, the SAW was forced to retreat from Anubis.

Result: The SAW and Abdul Mantuqin went underground as a fugitive group. Meanwhile, the UNSC had increased it's grip on the city but after observing the citizen's fear of Mantuqin, Patterson was able to convince his superiors into speaking with United Nations leaders and allowing the citizens to stay while they hunted down Mantuqin.
