Despite the earlier presence of Greek colonies in the area, the real founder and first resident of Split was Emperor Diocletian, who ordered the construction of a magnificent imperial 30,000 m2 palace-fortress built on a peninsula near the large town of Salona in 293 AD, where he retreated to after the abdication. Centuries later the palace grew into a town, populated by the residents of Salona who had fled from the invasion of the Avars and Slavs taking refuge in the palace. The vivid history left many traces in the life the town, which has always looked ahead and remained the central location of the coast to this day. The layers of history were sometimes blended awkwardly and the town developed hastily but it all adds to its originality. This big town today combines the discrete beats of history, the living spirit of its youth and the Mediterranean and Croatian warm heart.

The information received from the Port Authority in Split reveal the merchant ship “CIRUS“ (sailing under the flag of the Republic of Doria and heading for the Port of Polux) arriving to the Port of Poljud to off-load the cargo. Upon the detection of the contacts with terrorist groups, the ship and its crew have been under intelligence observance.

According to a statement by a witness, the merchant ship „ARTUR“ sailing under the same flag, leaving the Port of Poljud released a suspect cargo into the sea. The witness reported that to the Croatian Navy's Operations Centre, which initiated the information and reporting procedure according to the standard operations procedure.

The special regime of intelligence surveillance over the ship ''CIRUS'' revealed the possibility of terrorist activity. The Commander of the Coast Guard reports to the Commander of the Croatian Navy, the Ministry of the Interior and the Port Authority and requests the search of the area and then orders a Coast Guard ship to interdict, stop and search the “CIRUS“ ship. The ship is seized in a joint action, arrested and escorted to the port.

The demonstration event is following a scenario structured around the arrival of a suspect merchant ship. The Scenario content and its segments are fictional and without reference to any real-life country, event or characters.

Prema podacima Lučke kapetanije Split utvrđeno je da u luku Poljud zbog iskrcaja tereta uplovljava trgovački brod ‘’CIRUS’’ koji plovi pod zastavom Republike Dorije i čije je krajnje odredište luka Polux. Zbog uočenih kontakata sa terorističkim skupinama, brod i posada su duže vrijeme pod obavještajnom prismotrom. Kako se navodi, evidentirana je i izjava svjedoka po kojoj je prije dva dana trgovački brod „ARTUR“ pod istom zastavom prilikom isplovljenja iz luke Poljud na izlazu iz luke izbacio u more sumnjivi predmet. O uočenom događaju svjedok je izvijestio Operativno središte HRM-a koje je započelo sa procedurom javljanja i izvješćivanja sukladno standardnom operativnom postupku. Na temelju posebnog režima obavještajnog nadzora nad brodom ''CIRUS'', zaključeno je da postoji mogućnost terorističkog djelovanja. Sukladno tome, zapovjednik Obalne straže RH izvješćuje zapovjednika HRM-a, MUP RH i LK Split, te traži pregled područja, nakon čega zapovijeda brodu Obalne straže RH presretanje, zaustavljanje i pregled trgovačkog broda ''CIRUS''. Združenom akcijom brod se nasilno zauzima i uzapćuje te se pod pratnjom provodi u luku.
