Government and Politics
Adjikistan was a Unitary state under the head of Ismail Karim.
The country secured it's independence from Russia.
As a condition of its independence Karim signed a non-aggression pact.
This pact however put the Adjikistani government in jeopardy as many rebel organizaions rose to disturb the new government.
A US helicopter was shot down with a captured CIA agent and a fireteam inside it.
President Karim insisted that the Rebels had shot the helicopter down.
Notable Occurrances
An CIA agent working undercover in Adjikistan was captured.
Fire Team Bravo and Alpha were sent in to recover the agent and was in an extraction helocopter when it was shot down.
Fireteam Alpha and Bravo was then sent in to find any evidence of who shot down the helicopter.
Notable Persons in Adjikistan
Hakan Kashka- Controlled aspects of the drug cartel.
He was captured in his waterhouse estate in the Akyarag province by fireteam Bravo.
Kashka's Cartel was notorious for taking adjiki civilians as slave labor and also kidnapping them as bargining chips.
O'Rourke- Leader of the SHADOW ELEMENT mercenary group.
His organization made a trade with the paramilitaries in exchange for drugs he provided the paramilitaries with guns and training.
The Paramilitary leader said that the poppy production was having some trouble.
O'Rourke insisted he get his part of the deal and started to walk off when the paramilitary leader said "we are fighting for our country something you would not understand" at this point he remembered five years ago when he had fought for the US military in North Africa.
He and his partner were under heavy fire needing immediate extraction, this however could no be provided to him as the area was too hot for a helicopter to land.
Several enmy soldiers surrounded O'Rourke as he surrendered.
Ismail Karim ordered O'Rourke to bring his mercenaries to the rebel held town to eliminate everyone there and burn the city to the ground.
O'Rourke was finally captured in a fortified Russian Destroyer Aircraft by Fireteam Bravo.
