The Soviet occupation forces were thwarted in most of their attempts to establish their influence across the region by US Green Berets sent secretly into the country. Increased tension caused by this conflict sparked internal rivalries and brought the Crabistan to the brink of a civil war. Due to a timely intervention by the United Nations, a peaceful path forward was found through a secession vote and thus the new country of Crabrak was born. US intervention was also revealed due to the US Green Berets frequent exposure and flaunting of international laws. All of these events were player driven. 

Following the player-driven secession crisis, the new state of Crabrak and its neighbor Crabistan have been locked in a bitter territorial dispute. Having most of the land and resources, Crabistan redeveloped into a thriving economy. One thing that has boosted this development is that Crabistan is a known growzone for the illicit drug known as “muck beans”. Crabrak on the other hand, though small, contains the region's largest airport along with most of its Crabtonium reserves. Knowing this, the Soviet Union made a deal with Crabrak to help protect and develop the nation in exchange for that Crabtonium. With US Forces politically unable to send any form of troops into the region again, and with the Soviets backing the Crabrak government, Crabistan now relies on the newly formed Crabistani National Army to defend itself and dispute Crabraki borders.

Spring 1993 - The nations of Crabistan and Crabrak are locked in a turbulent border conflict and reports of a chemical attack on Crabistan have only fanned the flames. The emergence of several international militant organizations in both countries have put the Crabistani National Army and newly formed Crabrak Defense Force on high alert in the wake of several insurgent attacks.
