The National Party (short form: NAPA) is an INDFOR faction in ArmA 2.

Overview[]

« We have to show common citizens that our actions are focused on rooting out the evil, not on punishing anyone based on their nationality. Disarm the ordinary armed men, but eliminate all commissars, commanders and functionaries ruthlessly.
Soldier's Handbook, allegedly by Prizrak, supreme warlord of NAPA

Background[]

An underground movement formed in the wake of civil war between the Chernarussian government and pro-Russian separatists from the so-called "Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star" (ChDKZ), the National Party is a rebel group that firmly opposes Russian influence in Chernarus.[2][3][4][5]

The rebel group is commanded by a shadowy figure called "Prizrak"[2], a ruthless leader who is well-known by both the government and ChDKZ for his brutal tactics and extremist anti-Russian stance.[4][5][6]

Though they lack advanced weaponry and a dedicated aviation force, their knowledge of the South Zagorian countryside, military expertise from ex-CDF members, and an extensive network of embedded fighters/civilian collaborators amongst almost every village in the region, has made them a serious threat to both the ChDKZ and government forces.[2]

NAPA is also known to operate an illicit narcotics trading/manufacturing operation in order to fund their campaign against the ChDKZ/government forces, with many of their processing labs mainly scattered throughout the northern regions of the province.[2]

History[]

Formed by Prizrak as a counter-movement against the burgeoning ChDKZ insurgency[3][6][7], the National Party was founded on the principle of self-defence; not just against thinly-veiled Russian imperialism, but also against perceived failures and rampant corruption from the Chernarussian government.[2]

Though the group started out small, it quickly gained traction over the span of one year prior to the outbreak of open hostilities. The group was particularly popular with the population of South Zagoria, with many supporters openly collaborating with the guerilla organisation.[2]

On November 11th, 2008[8], the group's first highly publicised attack was the burning down of a storage facility owned by a ChDKZ affiliate (the Bardak & Sons Distillery), which resulted in the death of a gatekeeper and the warehouse's total destruction.[9] Following the incident, skirmishes against the ChDKZ continued to increase as both sides launched retaliatory attacks against the other (including against unarmed civilians).[10] Eventually, even the CDF would become involved as local police forces were simply overwhelmed by both sides, and were incapable of putting a halt to the fighting.[11]

Events of Operation Harvest Red (2009)[]

SPOILER ALERT

NOTE: This section contains spoilers from ArmA 2's 'Operation Harvest Red' campaign.

When full-scale war finally broke out between government forces and the ChDKZ[8], the CDF were forced to retreat all the way back to Zelenogorsk after incurring heavy losses.[7][12][13][14][15] NAPA on the other hand, fought on and even held its own against the tide of ChDKZ.[4][5][6]

Even though outwardly it seemed like everyone in the organisation was working towards the same goal, the reality was that NAPA itself was bitterly divided between two factions: the fervently anti-Russian hardliners led by Prizrak himself[4][5][6], and the far less extremist moderates who only desired freedom from Russian influence. Needless to say, these frictions continued to eat away at the organisation's unity.[16] Those who did not support either side remained ignorant; mostly out of fear for Prizrak himself, as those who opposed the shadowy leader tended to "disappear".[17]

After some time, the United States Marine Corps' 27th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) invades the country to relieve the beleaguered CDF.[18][19] The joint force of Marines and the CDF quickly retake most of the coastal cities, and even drive back the ChDKZ all the way to their northern strongholds.[8][5][20][21][22]

« Hej, mariňáci, tady vás nepotřebujeme! Díky, že jste přišli, ale můžete zase jít. Čedaky tu nemáme. [We don't need you here American Marines. Thank you for coming but you can leave now. There are no Chedaki here.]
Father Fyodor, the local priest of Gorka, attempts to convince the Americans to leave
»

While not quite hostile, diplomatic relations between the Americans and guerillas were practically non-existent. Encounters were limited to only the occasional (tense but bloodless) stand-off between the two sides.[4][10] But the fact that American troops were also ordered to seize any weapons caches did not help to improve relations between the two sides either.[23]

Barely a week after the invasion[8], a bomb is suddenly detonated in the heart of the Russian Federation's capital, killing fifty three Russian citizens and injuring hundreds more. The attack is blamed on NAPA by the Russian government, but in reality wasn't caused by the guerillas at all.[24][25][26] Despite denying all allegations of their involvement in the bombings, the Russian government receives the authorisation to intervene in the country for security reasons, forcing the Americans to leave immediately. The situation for the guerillas is made even worse as they were now being actively hunted by both the ChDKZ and the Russians.

The guerillas agree to help Razor Team evade detection from the Russians.

However, the guerillas did notice a Russian Spetsnaz team launch a surprise raid on a USMC FOB. Since they lacked the equipment and manpower, the guerillas didn't intervene to assist the Marines at the FOB; much to the frustration of the Force Recon operators from callsign Razor Team, who demanded that the guerillas explain why they didn't help out. The guerillas informed the Marines that Russian forces were given shoot-to-kill orders against impostors "disguised" as Americans.

« A vůbec: myslim, že byste se tu neměli poflakovat. Rusové prohlásili, že na severu už žádný Mariňáci nejsou. Prej každej ozbrojenec bude považovanej za nepřítele. Cestou sem jsme slyšeli hlášení rozhlasu v jedný vesnici. Hledají 'povstalce, předstírající, ž epatří k americké armádě'. [Listen, you'd better not hang around here. The Russians have declared the north free of USMC now. They're saying any armed person will be considered hostile. We heard the announcements in the villages on the way in here. They are looking for 'insurgents impersonating US personnel'.]
The leader of the guerillas observing FOB Manhattan, Alesh, tells Matthew Cooper of their fugitive status
»

With extraction by helicopter out of the question due to Russian anti-air defences and the MEU having long since departed from the northern parts of the province, the Marines reluctantly agree to evade detection with the help of the guerillas.[8]

Rather than join with their comrades in the woodlands however, Razor Team opted to link up with the CDF instead. Nonetheless, the guerillas made plans to conduct offensives of their own against the ChDKZ. But with the Russians effectively locking down the entire region, any large-scale attacks were out of the question. At the same time, Prizrak's brutality was beginning to alienate many of the organisation's supporters away from the hardline faction. The moderates still knew full well that they couldn't win on their own however, and that CDF support was absolutely necessary if they were to achieve their goal.[17]

Arma2-campaign-harvestred-11

Novy Sobor is retaken by Razor Team.

Along with a small task force of CDF troops, the Marines from Razor Team soon launch an attack on the ChDKZ-occupied town of Novy Sobor. They manage to secure the town and find a local NAPA collaborator called Michal, who reveals to the Marines that a blond-haired Russian Spetsnaz operative known only as "Karelin" was the true mastermind behind the occupation.[27]

Before the Marines moved on to attack Stary Sobor, the moderates were contacted by a CDF intelligence officer called Tomas Marny, who offered them a "solution" to their problem: Prizrak. Whilst government forces obviously couldn't be seen participating in an assassination attempt against NAPA's current leader, an American black ops unit, Razor Team, who were not officially in the country, could do so without causing relations between the two sides to become less than copacetic.[16][28]

The moderates agree to send a representative to meet with the Marines to plan the assassination. The representative, Yidash, secretly meets up with the Americans at an abandoned house near the lumber mill where Prizrak usually took his victims to "purge" them of their "sins".[17]

« Obě frakce samy o sobě nepřežijou, to je jasný. Prizrak je jedinej, kdo...kdo nám stojí v cestě. [Alone, both parties will perish, it's clear. Prizrak is the only thing in...in our way.]
Yidash explains the necessity of Prizrak's demise
»

After reaffirming their commitment to killing Prizrak, Razor Team move out and arrive at the lumber mill[17], only to discover that Prizrak's true identity is actually "Father Fyodor" - the same priest they had first met in Gorka. Not only had he known about Yidash's (along with the rest of the moderates) plans to assassinate him, but he was fully prepared to retaliate by having them executed to make an example to all other dissenters within the organisation.[6]

Arma2-campaign-harvestred-13

Razor Team confronts Prizrak.

He was still willing to offer them a chance for redemption, however. He faced the Marines alone and unarmed, and tried to explain his views to them in the hopes of convincing the Americans to help his cause.[6]

« I am the one who is saving this country! I provide spiritual and military strength! I am a leader! A symbol of Chernarussian resistance! I am Chernarus! And now you want to destroy it?
Prizrak justifies his delusional views to the Americans
»

What he didn't count on was the Marines (particularly their team leader Matthew Cooper) rejecting his views completely. Disappointed with their decision, Prizrak presents the Americans with an ultimatum: kill him, or let him go.[6] Just as he begins to slowly walk away, the Marines' team leader fatally shoots Prizrak in the back.[29][30]

Arma2-campaign-harvestred-09

With both towns secured by Razor Team and Prizrak dead, NAPA officially joins forces with the CDF.

Now that Prizrak was out of the way and normal relations were restored with the government, the moderates quickly gained the upperhand within the organisation. They agreed to an official alliance with the government, and the two sides joined forces to liberate the rest of South Zagoria.[31][32]

The new leader of NAPA, Little John, assumes command and delegates his subordinates to various NAPA strongholds throughout the region while he personally liaised with the CDF commanders, General Begunov and Major Stavovich, at the main base in Zelenogorsk.[31][33] The two sides began to coordinate their efforts in retaking the entire province from both the ChDKZ and their Russian supporters. Together, they launch a province-wide offensive aimed at retaking every single town and village from the ChDKZ; all under the watchful eye of the Russians.[8][34]

Thanks to the efforts of Razor Team, the ChDKZ's elusive leader, Gregori Lopotev, is captured and handed over to the Russians.[35][36] Karelin's conspiracy is revealed to the Russian government, and NAPA is absolved of all blame for the Moscow bombings.[8][37][38][39]

With their name cleared, the Russians forced to leave Chernarus and the 27th MEU permitted to redeploy into the country[37][38], the joint USMC/CDF/NAPA force finally locates the main ChDKZ base in Msta and proceed to raze it to the ground, destroying much of its power base and wiping out their remaining leaders in one go.


Post-Operation Harvest Red[]

After a fierce battle which resulted in the destruction of the ChDKZ base in Msta, the guerillas participated in the clean-up operations throughout the countryside to root out the last defiant cells of the ChDKZ.[38]

With the country returning to a semblance of normality following the war's resolution[8][40], NAPA was disbanded as an armed guerilla force. Instead, the group transitioned into an official political party that would peacefully challenge the current government.[41][42]

Equipment[]


Most guerillas wear a mixture of civilian clothing intermeshed with military uniforms camouflaged in a variety of patterns. They almost always conceal their faces with balaclavas, ski masks, and bandannas to hide their identities.

Unlike the CDF, NAPA lacks reliable stocks of heavy vehicles and equipment, and do not have access to any aviation assets at all. They mostly rely on salvaged hardware obtained either from raids against the ChDKZ, purchased from arms smugglers (via funds obtained through their trade in narcotics), or stolen from government forces under Prizrak's command.

In most cases, their vehicular options are limited to outdated Second World War/early Cold War-era armour like T-34 light tanks and repurposed civilian vehicles like Pickup trucks. For small arms, they mostly utilise the same firearms as their ChDKZ and government counterparts, ranging from AKM assault rifles to PKM machine guns, as well as 9K32 Strela SAM launchers.

  7. 7.0 7.1 Bohemia Interactive a.s., 2009, 'ARMA2 Campaign An intense and thought provoking experience', In Chernarus, civil war has raged for two years after a long period of political instability, caused by conflicts between a pro-Western coalition and communist-nationalist Chernarus Red Star Movement (ChDKZ, „Chedaki“). After ChDKZ was defeated by the democratic wing in the 2008 elections, tension escalated during the so-called September Crisis. With wide support from ethnic Russians in the Northern Province of Chernarus, insurgents attempted to reunite Northern Chernarus with Russia by force, but were defeated in the counter-insurgency operation „Northwind“. By the summer of 2009, remaining insurgent troops retreated to hideouts in the northern mountains. In the autumn of 2009, „Chedaki“ surprisingly launched a major assault on government forces, led by infamous supreme warlord, nicknamed Akula („Shark“). In a few weeks insurgents seized most of the Northern Province, and declared independence from the Chernarussian government. After negotiations to join Russia resulted in dismissal by Moscow, insurgents installed their own government and declared martial law, continuing to advance to the western part of the country. Government forces suffered heavy losses and the situation became critical. Alexander Baranov, the prime minister of Chernarus, asked NATO forces to assist in restoring peace and order in Chernarus. The Alliance alerts its rapid reaction forces in the Euro-Asian theater. It is decided to send Marines to the area to prevent further civilian casualties in the ongoing conflict between „Chedaki„ and remnants of Chernarussian Defence Forces.

A guerilla group called NAPA is harassing the 'Chedaki' and normally that'd be fine by me, but they're not keeping their reprisals to combatants.

Представитель РПЦ заявил, что 'это свидетельствует о том, что у террористов нет уважения ни к Богу, ни к культурному наследию, как и к жизням людей.' Хотя Кремль пока воздерживается от обвинений, эксперты сходятся во мнении, что взрыв - дело рук известной террористической организации НАПА. Несколько дней назад внимание всего мира было приковано к Черноруссии, где НАПА устроила чудовищную резню среди мирного населения. Ранее в анонимном интервью РГР один из высокопоставленных офицеров ВС РФ обвинил США в том, что они не способны контролировать ситуацию в Черноруссии: 'Их действия только больше дестабилизируют ситуацию в регионе. Мы должны позаботиться о мире в Черноруссии.' Наш долг - защитить Россию и помочь народу Черноруссии.' Президент пока отказывается от комментариев, но наши источники подтверждают, что внутри Кремля склоняются к принятию решения о необходимости прямого вмешательства в войну в Черноруссии. Мы будем следить за развитием ситуации. До встречи в эфире. [RVR Russian Voice Radio. Over fifty people have been murdered and nearly five hundred injured in the blast that devastated the heart of the capital, Red Square in Moscow today. The death toll is almost certain to rise. The bombing also destroyed part of St. Basil's Cathedral, a spokesperson for the Church, who was uninjured, said this was "an indication that the terrorists who caused the explosion care as little for God or world heritage as they do for human life." Although the Kremlin is understandably reluctant to accuse any particular group at this stage, the vast body of expert opinion supports the idea that the infamous NAPA terrorist organization is behind the terrible attack. NAPA made the headlines earlier this week in war-torn Chernarus for the torture and murder of Civilians in the North of that troubled country. Earlier in this programme a high ranking Russian Ground Forces officer, who wishes to remain anonymous, told RVR "It has become clear that the Americans cannot control Chernarus. Their incompetence is destabilizing the region and we must act to restore the balance. It is our duty to both protect Russia, and to aid the people of Chernarus." The President would not comment, but insiders tell us there is growing impatience at the Kremlin for direct action in our fracturing neighbor-state. RVR will be back with more as the situation develops.]", Russian Voice Radio

Dnes brzy ráno otřásla moskevským Rudým náměstím mohutná exploze. Počet potvrzených obětí je zatím 40, odborníci se však shodují, že dále poroste. Kreml okamžitě vydal prohlášení o tom, že se nejedná o nehodu, avšak k útoku se zatím nepřihlásila žádná teroristická organizace. Exploze, která zasáhla především ranní nakupující a turisty, také silně poškodila světoznámý chrám Vasila Blaženého. Ruská média hledají důvod k útoku v současném konfliktu zde, v Černarusi. Bez důkazů obviňují odbojovou organizaci známou jako NAPA. Západní analytici útok připisují spíše samostatné skupině fanatiků, která nemá nic společného s NAPA ani s jinou Černaruskou skupinou. Rádio Černarus nemá žádné kontakty na mluvčí organizace NAPA. Rádi bychom využili tohoto momentu a apelovali na zmocněnce NAPA: pokud nás slyšíte, přijďte k nám do rozhlasu a pomozte nám vyvrátit tato alarmující obvinění. Situaci budeme samozřejmě nadále sledovat a okamžitě vás budeme informovat o jakýchkoliv novinkách. Rádio Černarus, černaruský veřejnoprávní rozhlas. [This is Radio Chernarus, Chernarussian Public Radio. Forty three people have been confirmed killed and as many as two hundred wounded by the explosion that rocked Moscow's famous Red Square earlier today. Many experts warn that these figures are expected to rise. The Kremlin instantly issued a statement ruling out accidental cause although the bombing has yet to be claimed by any recognized terrorist group. The explosion, which tore through crowds of early morning shoppers and site-seers also damaged the iconic St. Basil's Cathedral. The Russian media have been quick to blame the current conflict here in Chernarus as the catalyst for today's attack, unashamedly pointing the finger of blame at the organization of resistance fighters known as NAPA. Other less-biased analysts believe the bombing to be the work of an isolated group of fanatics unconnected with NAPA or any other Chernarussian group. Although Radio Chernarus has been unable to contact a spokesperson for the NAPA organization, we would like to use this moment to appeal to any NAPA officials currently listening to come on air with us and refute these alarmist claims. We will of course be monitoring the situation and will update you with all the latest developments as they occur. Radio Chernarus, Chernarussian Public Radio.]", Radio Chernarus

COOPER: Russians did this to you? Not Chedaki? MICHAL: Well, they were in uniform. Some blond bastard named Karelin was in charge. He was just about to knife us all in cold blood when you attacked the city! [...] COOPER: Shit we got 'em guys. They reckon Lopotev is working with the Russians through Karelin, the blond guy."

MARNY: That's not a suggestion to throw around lightly Sergeant Cooper. But it has been considered. Look, I have a... colleague shall we say? A contact inside NAPA. We both deal in intrigue, you understand? He might be able to slake your thirst for knowledge about old Prizrak. But Razor, are you sure you want to do this? Maybe we are making some horrible translation mistake? COOPER: Uh, we're gonna kill Prizrak, right? MARNY: Uh... Copy that Razor team! Christ! I will tell Yidash to expect you at 072-083, I know NAPA have a camp there that he feels safe using. OK? COOPER: Copy that Sir, we're on our way. Razor out."

I hope it was worth it Yidash.] YIDASH: Paráda! Teď o tom ale musíme mlčet. Nikdo se nesmí dozvědět, že je to naše práce. Mohlo by to ohrozit spojenectví. [Fantastic! Now we must keep this quiet. No one can know we planned this! It could jeopardize the alliance.] COOPER: Nebojte se, není to věc, kterou bych psal do zprávy pro kapitána... [Don't worry, it's not the kind of thing I'll be filing in a report to my Captain...] YIDASH: Tak to si rozumíme, Razore. Jsem opravdu hrdej na... [Then we understand each other. Razor I'm very proud of wha...] COOPER: I didn't wanna hear it. Come on let's get out of here. We've still got a city to take."

Moreover, thanks to the timely death of the radical Prizrak the CDF are able to enter into an alliance with NAPA. Together our chances to drive Russians out have increased from none to slim.

This is your victory Razor Team!] COOPER: No..nebojovali jsme sami. [Well, we didn't do it alone.] MARNY: Pravda. Spolupráce našich lidí byla fantastická. [True. It was good to see our forces working together.] MICHAL: Zrovna jsem to chtěl říct. [I was about to say the same thing!] MARNY: Ano. Kéž byste byli všichni takhle ochotni spolupracovat... [Indeed. If only all your organization were this cooperative...] MICHAL: No ale pochopte. Sami to nezvládnem ani my, ani vy. Aspoň ne proti Rusákum. [Be reasonable. Neither of us can do this alone. Not with the Russians here.] MARNY: Co teda navrhujete? Vaši vůdci jsou nepřijatelný. Nemůžeme podporovat terorismus. [What do you suggest? Your leadership is unacceptable. We cannot be seen to condone terrorist actions.] MICHAL: Prizrak je mrtvej. My jsme ale nikdy nebyli teroristi NAPA chce svobodnou zemi, nic víc, nic míň. Rádi to dokážem. [Prizrak is dead. But we were never terrorists. NAPA wants a free country. Nothing more, nothing less. We want to prove that.] MARNY: Svobodná vlast je to, co chceme všichni, příteli.

  33. ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Dogs of War, "Fortunately we now have logistical support from the west and you've built up a good force here. We only have to avoid attacking the Russian 'peacekeepers.' Also, since the more extreme elements of NAPA were eliminated, the guerillas have become a useful ally."
  34. ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Dogs of War, "The CDF hold positions around Zelenogorsk, securing a route of retreat into the rest of the Chernarus. Russians are holding positions around Vybor airport. NAPA forces are attacking from their hidden strongpoints all over the country. The Chedaki hold the majority of the territory, mostly the eastern part of the province. We are on our own now, however all NAPA and CDF resources are at our disposal."
  35. ARMA 2 2009 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Operation Harvest Red, Dogs of War, "Lopotev is our highest priority POW. The Russians are as keen as we are to interrogate him so they've sent some intelligence officers to assist you in transferring 'The Shark'. The officers should be ready in a few minutes at a nearby location. Lopotev must be safely transferred to the exchange point ASAP without coming to any harm. Rendezvous with the Russian intel officers who'll then lead you to the handover."

It was General Shagarov's report that really swung it for us though. We're lucky Karelin's rescue attempt went down like it did. So now it's just a clean-up operation. Retake the Chedaki held territory, save the day. How we go about that is up to you... commander. Swordsman out."

Later, the Russian Duma commission a special investigation. The final report tries to play down the 'border dispute' that briefly threatened to bring the Federation into total war with its neighbour and its relations with the west to new post-cold-war low. Chastened, the Kremlin are left apologizing for 'renegade commanders' citing 'terrorist conspiracy' as justification for their actions. The crisis in Chernarus is over. There is still a long way to go to before the country can be called a truly peaceful democracy, but all the preconditions are in place. The 27th MEU remain inside Chernarus, helping the CDF mop up and rebuild. After a long and surreal campaign, Razor Team transfer back to Khe Sanh and then home."

Gentlemen I've seen some things in my time but nothing like what you've accomplished. The Russians will try to play the whole thing down in public, but your service will be remembered where it matters. Officially, this is the War That Never Was. Unofficially you're my god-damned heroes! I've never been prouder. Razor's highly irregular involvement in Operation Harvest Red will remain classified at the highest possible level. So my advice would be to enjoy this celebration marines, revel in the glory of what you've achieved. You saved Chernarus, you defeated the Russians, you united a people. Now how about I open the brandy and you tell me your best war stories? 'Cos one things for sure: It's the last time you're ever gonna talk about it..."
