Centauri forces occupying a small town in Iraq during the Iraq incident.
The Iraq Incident was conflict taking place after the First War, in 2156, that was fought between the Interstellar Alliance and the rebellious nation-states of Iraq and Egypt.
Background
Iraq and Egypt, despite being surviving nations, had no intention of rejoining the IA and thus launched an invasion against the reservation states of Kuwait and Israel, sparking the Iraq Incident. After five days of conflict, the crisis soon ended and the country of Iraq, along with Kuwait, thus became a giant prison for political opponents, foreigners, the religious, protestors, and philosophers. Egypt had also punished by becoming testing ground for human experimentation, which gave the country the nickname of the "Graveyard of the World".
