Siege of Paggot

Background
The Siege of Paggot was a military occupation of the Union colony of Paggot on the planet Dabus by the Dabusian Kingdom. In 39 P.U. the Dabusian kingdom carried out the operation successfully securing the city killing off 40% of the inhabitants while an additional 20% were held captive and the remainder went into hiding in underground tunnels.

History
In 39 P.U. the Human Union colony was ambushed at night by the Dabusian Kingdom and held prisoner or executed with the demand for the Union to abandon Dabus and acknowledge the Dabusian Kingdom as its rightful inhabitants.

At this time the Union did not possess military grade space vessels or the ability to rapidly land troops on the ground and was forced to land far away from the action in order to get troops to the ground safely and then mobilized to reach the actual combat arena. The Dabusians used this to their advantage and were able to hold off against the Union for a full year before being overwhelmed by the Unions refitted cargo ships turned into exo-atmospheric dropships capable of landing soldiers into the heat of battle.

The battle to retake the city was still a long and bloody campaign as only a small number of troops could be deployed by the Union and the Dabusians were deploying anti-ship guns making landing operations less successful. In 41 P.U. a team of special operations units known as Force Application Teams were able to use the natural tunnels which lead under the colony to insert themselves behind enemy lines. During this operation they encountered hundreds of civillians who had hid themselves away into the tunnels for safety. After evacuating the civilians the team infiltrated Paggot and broke the defensive wall allowing the Union to swarm into the colony and retake it.

A few weeks after Paggot's reclamation the Treaty of Paggot 42 P.U. was signed.
