History

In 1949, Red agents took over the island of Balulu at gunpoint, assassinating some officials and arresting others, and imposed martial law. The Blackhawk Squadron was alerted to this situation by one Baluluan citizen, and intervened, with handguns and a howitzer. After a prolonged gunfight, the townspeople of the island's capital were able to regain control of their city. The leader of the foreign agents, "Twilight," shot herself dead.

Notes

  • Palm trees grow there, so it's in the Tropics. It's an island so it's in either the East or West Indies. "Western Sea" implies Caribbean.
