The Enemy of My Enemy

The current fighting over control of the "Origawn Territory",  was triggered when an expedition by forces from the self proclaimed Origawn Republic was sent into the native lands between Faraway and the Mountains, an area inhabited largely by native tribes such as the Kree. (See a report on this incident by some foreign journalist who got a few names wrong.) Faraway had claimed this area to its north as a Protectorate at the end of the 1st Origawn War which had been fought between Oberhilse and Faraway and soon moved to secure the territory and squash this troublesome new self proclaimed Republic. 

The new republic sent envoys to offer the Kree arms and ammunition to help them maintain their independence but the arms largely remained promises and though Kree warriors occasionally travelled to assist the Origawn Republic, none of the promised soldiers ever showed up in Kree territory and rumours abounded that elements in the Republic were already hatching plans to push their boudaries all the way to the west coast. 

After the Kree victory over a Dominion column at Goose Lake, Father Black was able to open negotions, hoping to persuade the Dominion that they would be better off finding common ground with the Kree and helping to defend them against the unwelcome Origawn settlers who had been pushing west, than fighting the Kree on one front and Origawn on another.

With due ceremony, a treaty of mutual defence and respect is made.

The treaty had barely been signed when news arrived that a column of Origawn soldiers was approaching. The new alliance was about to be tested.
