The 1987 Agarput crisis began after a period of political and economic instability in the Agarput Republic shortly after its incorporation into the Thalassic Federation. Fighting began with attacks by Hindu extremist group Anak-anak dari Kali (Children of Kali) targeting the local government senate offices, killing 102 civilians and administrators, including eight visiting Federation diplomats. Immediately following this the Thalassic Federation Ground Forces deployed the 5th Brigade to assist in reconstruction and peacekeeping efforts. Shortly thereafter local strife erupted into combat between Thalassic forces and local extremist groups, including nationalist brigades Agarput Anyar, as well as Hindu and Islamic extremists. These disparate groups, despite principally being opposed to the Thalassic Forces, would very regularly attack one another.
