At my usual glacial production rate, I'm writing a background for a nation on
Cibola, a balkanized planet. This nation, as yet unnamed, is going through a
civil war, and its neighbors are treating it as a good
place to live-fire test their doctrine and equipment--analogous to the
Spanish Civil War. Both sides of the civil war have at least three factions
and each faction has its own suppliers, patrons, arms dealers, volunteers,
mercs, etc. One week it may be PAU mercs in ESU gear fighting a company of
Sikh "volunteers" in GEVs, next week Islamic
Fed-supplied local militia plus a third-hand, badly maintained Loyalist
(Green faction) combat walker vs NSL-trained Loyalist (Blue faction)
special forces. No orbital bombardment or nukes because no one wants to
escalate things quite that far, but aside from that, anyone could be fighting
anyone else.
