Congratulations everyone, we're officially formed. We should now help the conclusion of adding forces into DYSFOR, helping IPO to achieve stability, together with peace-forces. But don't rest yet. We've found a very strong collective of nationalists in Valhene, even after the coup, they keep ambushing our troops. They are actually well equipped and fight in guerrilha style. We need to neutralize this group as fast as we can so the people of Dysanii, our soldiers and peace-forces can be safe.
