1. #1Urzikstan

   Keys: Urzikstan · Secondary:

   Urzikstan is an Arabic country, located in the Caucasus region on the Black Sea, known for its arid climate and a history of conflict, including a Russian occupation and an insurgency led by Farah Karim's Urzikstan Liberation Force (ULF) against Russian General Roman Barkov and the terrorist group Al-Qatala.

   Urzikstan is a peninsula on the eastern border of the Black Sea located in the Caucasus Region in Western Asia, bordering the United Republic of Adal to the north and northwest, the Russian Federation to the northeast, and Georgia to the east and southeast. The capital is Sakhra where the Embassy of the United States is located. The climate is mostly arid.

2. #2The Urzikstan Insurgency

   Keys: Urzikstan Insurgency

   The Urzikstan Insurgency is a 20-year-long multi-sided conflict between the Western-backed ULF resistance, the domestic terrorist group Al-Qatala and the Russian general Roman Barkov's forces.

   In 1999, Russian Armed Forces led by rogue General Roman Barkov entered the country of Urzikstan, sparking an insurgency against the invaders. As local resistance tried to regain control in the occupied areas, Barkov launched a full-scale invasion of the country, taking large numbers of innocent lives by deploying chemical weapons and firing on civilians. Young Urziks were captured by Barkov and sent to forced labor camps in Tobrak.

   10 years after the Russian invasion, Commander Farah Karim led an escape from the Tobrak prison camp. During the escape, she encountered Lieutenant John Price and his squad, which marked the first cooperation between Farah's rebels and Western military units. The escape would significantly escalate the conflict as Farah would found the organized Urzikstan Liberation Force next year.

   Omar Sulaman, a major figure in the anti-occupation movement, announced his split with all foreign powers including Western forces in 2013. He would later become the leader of the global terrorist organization Al-Qatala as "The Wolf" and join the war against both Russia and the ULF.

   The CIA launched a joint operation sending "Alex" and a Marine Raiders team to recover chlorine gas at General Barkov's facility in Verdansk, Kastovia, prior to its transport to Urzikstan and use against the population. During the operation, an unknown attack was launched against the team leaving "Alex" as the only survivor. At the time, the attack was believed to be either an ULF or Al-Qatala operation. Later events, however, revealed that it had been perpetrated by an insurgency cell led by Hadir Karim, who stole the chlorine gas for himself and unintentionally killed the Marine team believing them to be Barkov's mercenaries.

   On October 26th, 2019, Commander Karim, leader of the Urzikstan Liberation Force and "Alex" attacked Barkov's airbase. After US air support assisted in destroying the base, the ULF captured the base.

   Later, Farah, Alex, Hadir, and the ULF arrived at Tariq Almwat, and ambushed the Wolf's men, killing multiple AQ militants. Unfortunately for them, Barkov's army arrived and attacked their force as well. Suffering heavy losses, and outnumbered, Hadir resorted to using the Russian gas that he had captured in Verdansk, killing Barkov's men with it. Alex and Farah were incapacitated by the gas but saved by Hadir. Before losing consciousness, Farah denounced Hadir's actions as they were against everything she fought for. In his weakened state, Alex was unable to stop Hadir from escaping into the mountains.

   Using intel gathered by Hadir during his assault on Barkov's mansion in Russia, a joint SAS-ULF team (including Alex) launched an attack on Barkov's gas production factory, intending to permanently disable it. During the attack, their detonator was damaged, and Alex volunteered to stay behind to manually trigger the explosives. Meanwhile, Farah was able to track down Barkov, who was fleeing in a helicopter, and kill him.

   After Barkov's death, the Urzikstan Insurgency ended with a ULF victory. Unfortunately, Al Asad and Al-Qatala-Aljahdid managed to invade Verdansk, but not without losing many of their soldiers and supplies which were destroyed by Armistice forces. This led to the release of a large amount of gas in Verdansk and infighting amongst Coalition and Allegiance forces, ending the Armistice alliance.

3. #3The Invasion of Urzikstan

   Keys: Invasion of Urzikstan

   Russian forces led by rogue Lieutenant General Roman Barkov entered Urzikstan and occupied part of the country. After the Urzik army and resistance fought back against the invaders, Barkov launched a full-scale invasion of the country.

   Barkov launched the invasion at Riyzabbi. His troops ruthlessly attacked the region and Barkov deployed poison gas which resulted in very high civilian casualties. Those women and children who survived the initial attacks were taken into custody and evacuated on trucks. During this chaos, Fatima Karim was killed and her daughter Farah was buried under rubble. After being rescued by her father, Walid, and aid workers they retreated to their family home. Walid attempted to flee to the mountains with Farah and his son Hadir, but they were stopped and attacked by Russian soldier J-12. Walid attempted to protect his children but was killed by J-12. Farah made sure his sacrifice was not in vain, though, as she was able to mount sneak attacks on J-12 with makeshift weapons, eventually killing him and rescuing her brother.

   Taking J-12's gas mask, the two children hid from the Russians, who were executing the remaining survivors in the streets, and eventually reached the outskirts of Urzikstan. There, they found a truck being guarded by two more soldiers, Luka and Andrei. With Hadir posing as a distraction, Farah stole a revolver and killed the soldiers. Hadir then attempted to drive himself and his sister away but the two were captured by Barkov. Outraged at the "little devils" for killing his soldiers, Barkov captured them and had them driven away in a truck.

   Along with Farah and Hadir, many other children were captured and imprisoned in Tobrak. Farah led a prison break 10 years later, which escalated the on-going insurgency in Urzikstan.

4. #4The 2019 London Terrorist Attack

   Keys: 2019 London Terrorist Attack

   The 2019 London Terrorist Attack was a series of coordinated terrorist attacks on October 25th, 2019 in the United Kingdom. It was orchestrated by Al-Qatala, an international terrorist organization based in Urzikstan.

   Prior to the attacks, an AQ cell was being kept under constant surveillance by a joint Army/Metropolitan Police Service team, under the leadership of Sergeant Kyle Garrick. Despite collecting evidence that suggested a general threat to the public, they were prevented from capturing the team or utilizing more high profile measures like police snipers to avoid unduly alarming the public.

   Shortly before the attack, CTSFO/SAS Sgt. Kyle Garrick, Cst. Brooks, Sgt. Crowley, and Cst. Fowler were following a van of the AQ cell's fighters through the streets of London while maintaining contact with their commander, Raven. Seeing that the van seemed to be part of preparations for an imminent attack, the team moved on it to apprehend its occupants. An AQ lookout was able to alert his allies of the approaching police allowing the fighters to exit the van and, after a tense standoff, open fire on the team and nearby civilians. During the initial exchange, Brooks was shot and killed. The van, meanwhile, accelerated into a crowd and detonated.

   The ensuing battle was lopsided, as the AQ militants were armed with rifles and machineguns while most of the military and police on site were only armed with pistols. Despite this disadvantage, Garrick fought his way forward, engaging multiple enemy combatants in the shops dotted around Piccadilly Circus. To deal with the mounting civilian and police casualties, Raven authorized deployment of Medical Response Teams (MRTs). Eventually, only the Tanto building remained uncleared. While entering the building, Garrick was ambushed by a knife-wielding AQ fighter but was saved by Cpt Price. The two cleared the building, finding that several hostages were on the second floor. One of the hostages had been fitted with a suicide vest and it had less than a minute before detonating. Seeing that Garrick was unable to stop the countdown, Price pushed him aside and heaved the hostage over the balcony moments before the device detonated, saving Garrick and the remaining hostages.

   The shocking number of casualties angered Garrick, who told Price of his surveillance of the AQ cell but their being hamstrung by superiors. Seeing potential in the sergeant, Price took him under his wing as they prepared to raid the house of another AQ cell in the city.

5. #5The Tobrak Prison Break

   Keys: Tobrak Prison Break

   During the Russian invasion in 1999, many young Urziks were captured by Roman Barkov's forces, including Farah Karim and her brother Hadir. During imprisonment, Farah became the leader of the POWs, known as "Karim".

   In 2009, Farah sent messages to the British for help but were later found out by General Barkov. While Barkov and his guards were distracted by an attack on the prison, Farah led an escape from the Tobrak Camp. During the escape, she was escorted by a SAS squad led by lieutenant John Price.

   The prison escape was successful and marked the first cooperation between the SAS and Farah Karim, who would later become the commmander of the Urzikstan Liberation Force, a western-backed belligerent of the Urzik Insurgency.

6. #6The Hunt for Roman Barkov

   Keys: Hunt for Roman Barkov

   The Hunt for Roman Barkov is the last major event of the Urzikstan Conflict. It is a covert unsanctioned operation led by commander Farah Karim of the Urzikstan Liberation Force, CIA supervisor Kate Laswell and Chimera operator "Nikolai" to destroy Roman Barkov's gas factory located in Georgia and assassinate the rogue Russian general.

   After the revelation that Hadir, not Al-Qatala, had stolen the the Russian gas, the United States cut ties with the Urzikstan Liberation Force, designating them as a foreign terror organization. Disgusted by his government's actions, CIA operative "Alex" deserted and joined the ULF to continue assisting them in ending Barkov's brutal regime.

   After using some of the stolen gas against Barkov's forces in Urzikstan (as retaliation for their consistent use of gas against his own people), Hadir escapes and is picked up by Al-Qatala. Al-Qatala's former second in command-turned-leader Jamal "The Butcher" Rahar decides to assist Hadir after he unveils his plans to use the gas in a terror attack on Russian soil. Knowing Hadir's plan will bring Russia and the Western powers to war, since Hadir was known to be a Western asset, Captain John Price and CIA Officer Kate Laswell devise a plan to halt the terror attack. Laswell greenlights their unsanctioned operation and provides them transport to St. Petersburg, the target of Hadir's terror attack.

   After interrogating The Butcher, Price and Garrick proceed to Roman Barkov's residence where they successfully capture Hadir.

   With information from Hadir, Price visits Farah and suggests an operation to finally end Barkov's gas production. Farah initially refused, citing the factory's location in foreign soil (Georgia), but was eventually persuaded to participate.

   The operation includes Price, Garrick, Farah, Alex, and Nikolai, with covert support from American Forces. Price and Garrick plan to set charges on the exterior of the facility while Farah and Alex plant explosives within the factory. Nikolai provides the group with explosive charges. After making it to the heart of the facility, Alex reveals that their detonator had been damaged in a recent fight; as a result, he offers to stay behind and manually trigger the charges. Farah reluctantly agrees and thanks him.

   With all explosives in place, Farah surreptitiously makes her way onto Barkov's helicopter. As the general is distracted, she attacks and kills him. The explosives are triggered shortly afterward and Barkov's facility is demolished.

   Russia disavowed Barkov's following his death, ending the Russian occupation of Urzikstan. However, Kate Laswell explained to Price that Victor Zakhaev, son of the late Imran Zakhaev is interested in taking Barkov's throne, leading Price to discuss organizing Task Force 141.
