Operation Dian Cecht is the name given to the operation in which the Nicholas and Great British Secret Service were deployed into West Romordia to work with police to identify and arrest people suspected of having links with the United Romordian Resistance. It involved the arrest, interrogation and torture of many West Romordian civilians. Due to this, the next day, the operation was postponed indefinitely due to the threat of a World Forum intervention.
Name
The name Operation Dian Cecht was made by John Evington . Dian Cecht is the god of healing in Nicholasian Gaedian mythology. The operation was named after Dian Cecht because Evington believed that the operation was 'curing' the nation by killing the parasites (West Romordian rebels).
Motives
The operation was made in response to increasing activity of the United Romordian Resistance, the largest West Romordian rebel group. The riots and protests in West Romordia was also a contributing factor as it was hoped that the crackdown would discourage future opposition.. The riots and protests in 2014 had been dealt with with massacres of protesters and despite the destruction of massacre of over 600 protesters in 2021 (which became known as the Lokve massacre), the protesting and rioting did not stop. As a result of this, Minister of Imperial Expansion John Evington proposed the operation. At first, Supreme Leader Nicholas McGregor disagreed as the Lokve massacre had already resulted in increased tensions with other countries. However, he was eventually persuaded as he was assured that it would not involve West Romordians being arrested without sufficient evidence.
International response
On the day the operation began, Izaakia called for a World Forum intervention. Later, Eflad agreed. Due to the threat of the intervention, the operation was postponed the next day.
Aftermath
Despite only lasting one day, the operation resulted in the arrest, interrogation, torture and in some cases execution, of hundreds of West Romordians, most of which are thought to have been innocent.
