The Zamastan War of Independence, also known as the Revolution of 1804 or the Zamastan Slave Uprising of 1802 was a conflict led by former slave Tomias Hapson and his master-turned-rebel Avi Taures to expel the Skith colonizers from Zamastan. The war ended in Skith retreating, the formation of the Republic of Zamastan, and the appointment of Tomias Hapson as the first President of Zamastan.

Raid of Tofino Royal Munitions
On July 17th, 1802, Tomias Hapson and Avi Taures' forces led a raid on the Tofino Royal Munitions - a Skithan arsenal in the city of Tofino, and took over the arsenal. Hapson and Taures' men defeated by a company of Skithan Marines, led by First Lieutenant Pammai Ren. Colonel Robert E. Lee was in overall command of the operation to retake the arsenal. The battle began to expand across the city as firearms and cannons were taken from the munitions facility by the rebels. By the night, Hapson's forces captured the watershed district of Tofino and had created two routes out of the city to get the supplies to the greater rebel forces.
Over 300 Skithan soldiers and colonists were killed during the fighting, and the rebels lost over 100 men. Tomias Hapson and Avi Taures recruited several thousand slaves, Skithan, and native colonists.
