The Tricontinental Defence Treaty Organisation (TRIDENT), is an intergovernmental military alliance between select Argic, Alharun, Thalassan and Marenesian nations. The alliance is based on the Tricontentental Defence Treaty that was signed on 25 January 2018. TRIDENT constitutes a system of collective defence whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any external party. TRIDENT maintains no central headquarters, division headquarters are located in Manille (Iverica), Bromwich (Gallambria), Ferrefaaierhafen (Variota), [Girkmand, Andalla, Prymont]. Instead, the TRIDENT leadership convenes via a remote link or at the Manille Headquarters.

Operations

The Verde Blockade

April 2018 naval situation of the Verde blockade

The organisation conducted its first military intervention in the Verde Sea, specifically within the northern and southern Altarian Straits to prevent the increase in military disparity in the connected Mediargic Sea.

The Verde Blockade was a joint operation to blockade the Verde Sea from penetration by Ahranaian Naval forces. The operation was justified under the international protest against the expansion of Ahranaian military forces in the connected Mediargic Sea, specifically in the region of Xara, which had been annexed by Ahranaian forces much to the protest of Ahrana's northern neighbour, the United States of Prymont. When protests and warnings from TRIDENT member states were ignored, the blockade was executed by a TRIDENT task force and forced the Ahranaians to halt their fleet. In response, the Ahranaian government enlisted the aid of the now rouge state of Asgeirria resulting in what some deemed to be a false flag operation.

This conflict was resolved later during peace agreements, to the satisfaction of TRIDENT and Ahranaian parties. TRIDENT officials from Iverica & Gallambria co-authored the Xara Accords, a treaty to resolve the heated situation of Ahranaian naval expansion. The Accords presented a sustainable solution by proposing a balance of strength in the Mediargic Sea and specifying the conduct necessary for forces to maintain the peaceful posture between both parties.

Exercise Atgeir

The joint aero-naval exercise dubbed "Atgeir" was conducted in Andallan waters of the Tiauhai Sea. Wargames between the assembled strength of some 4 Carrier Strike Groups and several lighter flotillas were carried out exercising ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, air defence & SEAD, naval air strike, anti-submarine, anti-ballistic missile, convoy security, shallow water manoeuvers, VBSS & counter-boarding, marine reconnaissance, and oceanographic survey operations were simulated by an OPFOR consisting of Iverican military and PMC units. The exercise was supposedly successful in gauging TRIDENT's ability to work together in aero-naval operations and in fostering an organisation-wide cultural exchange.

The Cussian Humanitarian Crisis

During the 2019 Haru Invasion of Beatancus, the victorious Haru forces subjected and incarcerated Cussian Christians, many of which were Nestorian Christians. On October 20th, Foreign Minister Desdemona Tomas-Morra issued an ultimatum to the Haru government declaring that Cussian sovereignty should be opened to international observers and humanitarian efforts in the face of human rights abuse allegations. The Haru government were reportedly incarcerating Cussians without fair trial and enforcing mandatory "re-education" of Cussian Christians. The state-owned "Imperiumn News Night" broadcast stated in a report that:

"Executed with compassion and the promise of resettlement, it [refugee camp]] can facilitate shelter, social services and a quick transition. Done badly, when anti-refugee sentiment is high, a military base can become prison-like – a place where refugees are confined behind barbed wire, with unknown release dates. The Eighth Circle continues to circulate that any individual identified as a Christian will be housed there, if but temporarily and apart of the mass deportation of this religious minority to Arhomaneian holdings."

On October 21st, the Haru government complied, responding and opening channels with the international community. However, relations with the Kingdom of Gallambria detriorated during these proceedings and the Haru cut ties with the Gallambrian state. Nevertheless, the Haru response permitted aid workers, observers, and military personnel acting in a refugee-relief capacity to enter the annexed territory of XXX.
