Briefing[]
UFAR Webcast -- March 2055
Having secured financial and economic stability on the UFAR mainland, the Kwan Do dynasty now turns its attention to the newly revived Space Race, and makes a bid to be the first nation in history to establish a colony on another world. It will not be easy however, as pockets of rebel and fanatical troops have destroyed the two UFAR space centers that had been conducting research and development on the UFAR Space Program.
Turning to its neighbor, Japan, for help, the UFAR government has agreed to help with that countries own Space Exploration program in a joint effort to reach Mars before the Western nations can. Unfortunately, the radical groups that are opposed to the Kwan Do dynasty have now turned against the Japanese and are attacking them as well, straining the relationship between these two powerhouse nations of the East.
If the situation cannot be corrected soon, then the UFAR government could find itself involved in a war on three fronts and the hope of establishing a Martian colony will be nothing more than a dream.
Objectives[]
° Establish a military outpost and defend it against terrorist attacks.
° Aid the Japanese by rebuilding the Tangeshima Space Complex.
° Launch a manned Colony Ship.
° Hu Kwan Do must survive.
° Build a Military Complex to deal with the Terrorists. The Complex should consist of at least two of each of the following: Barracks, Siege Factory, Tank Factory and Airport
° Collect 3000 Iron, 3000 Gold, 3000 Food and 3000 Wood in order to build a University.
° Collect 20000 Iron, 20000 Gold and 20000 Wood to aid in the construction of a new Space Center.
° With the base complete, this should cut down on the amount of harassment we have been receiving. Train a Combined Force to seek out and deal with the U-K and Eye of God Fanatic forces.
° Train a mixed force of troops to accompany Khara Bator on a sweep to clear Japan of any and all enemy troops.
° Aid our allies by reclaiming the port town of Sata. Postion troops in the city to rescue it.
° Clear the island of Tangeshima of enemy forces so that you can construct the new Space Port.
° Construct a new Space Center at Tangeshima consisting of two Missile Bases, a Temple, and an FTL Research Center.
Hints[]
° Quickly establish a military presence in the area that has been given to you by the Japanese.
° Be wary of ambush air raid and sneak attacks.
° The Eye of God is not the only enemy you have to face. The Ukrainian-Kazahkstan Union has joined forces with Dr. Websters Army and they have hired two other Mercenary Groups to aid them as well.
° When instructed to rebuild the Space Port, you must build it in the area that was previously occupied by the Tangeshima Space Center.

The Tangeshima Conflict
After establishing itself as a legitamate government and quelling numerous rebel uprisings, UFAR and its rulers, the Kwan Do Corporation, found itself in a position to join the Space Race.
The International Race to launch colony founding expeditions to Mars were being challenged on several fronts by scientific groups, enviromental parties and religious interests, all claiming that the resources needed to fund such expeditions would be better spent on improving the living conditions on Earth, rather than building new colonies on Mars.
Warnings were issued through the press and news media stating that planned space missions could suffer terrorist attacks. Numerous countries and their governments, including Russia, the United States, Great Britain and Japan chose not to be intimidated by these threats and forged ahead with their planned Mars exploration missions.
Despite the repeated warnings that such efforts would become targets of fanatical and terrorist groups, the United States launched its first manned mission to Mars in April of 2049.
Ten minutes after lift off the Shuttle exploded in the atmosphere killing all on board.
Several extremist groups claimed responsibilty for the tragedy, but the loudest proclimation came from one Dr. Calvin Jennings Webster, head of the right-wing Eye of God organization, a religious fundementalist movement which claimed that Earth -- and Earth alone -- was the only true testing ground for God's people. Three more attempted launch missions by other nations, one in Russia and two in the newly establish UFAR territories, all suffered accidents or problems that forced them to abort their countdowns.
Hence the economic riches that might be gained on Mars have yet to be claimed.
The original Chinese Space Complex -- the Juiquan Launch Center, located near the end of the Great Wall in China's Gansu province, was seriously damaged in several rebel and terrorist attacks. Because of these increased attacks, the UFAR government turned to its neighbors for aid in order to advance their plans to be the first human nation to establish an off-world colony.
In a joint secret operation the UFAR and Japanese governments have come together to build and launch an attempt of their own.
