In the past two hours, the newly recognized European nation of Cho-Arrim has erupted in a civil war. Distressed by the recent stance of their leader on the issue of mandatory voting, a small yet well-armed group of former military personel has taken control of the northern city of Highmarch. Observers note that this action took less than an hour, which stands grim testament to the skill of this rebel faction. For now, this unnamed organization seems to be staying put and fortifying their position. More on this story as the situation develops.

"My fellow citizens, I stand before you with news that weighs heavily on my heart.

In the past few hours, an unnamed terrorist group has seized control of the northern city of Highmarch. They acting in clear violation of both our laws and our principles, and will be dealt with swiftly. As I speak, law enforcement officers are converging on the city in an operation we are calling "Paladin." This terrorist group shall fall. They shall be quickly prosecuted and dealt with as the traitors they are. I recommend that all of the terrorists lay down their arms and surrender to your closest law officer. Those who give up now will be treated with the utmost dignity, but those who wish to fight will surely fall. To the citizens of Highmarch, help is on the way. We are coming to rescue you.

From darkness, Light!"

We have just received a faxed statement from the city hall building in Highmarch. While we cannot assert the authenticity of this document, it does appear to be the first communication from the terrorist group. In order to keep you covered, we will present it now.

We are responsible for the recent actions in Highmarch, and this is only the beginning. How one-sided it was to proclaim us the terrorists, when we are merely the instrument of change. Earlier today, our beloved Chancellor made it clear that we the people are not capable of making our political voices heard. For this reason, the Arrimate Liberation Army has risen to protect the rights of each and every Arrimate. We do not intend to harm, but we are armed and will fight back. Operation Paladin will be a miraculous failure for the Chancellor, and will prove that he has little interest in nonviolent solutions. We will not give in until the rights of the people are secured.

Moments ago, the Arrimate Liberation Army sent us communications from Highmarch.

[Subject: You Were Warned]

Greetings, Chancellor. You'll notice that you've received no word from the field commanders of Operation Paladin.

Just a few moments ago, Operation Paladin forces neared the city of Highmarch. They never made it. Perhaps, Chancellor Honnel, you didn't quite grasp the gravity of the situation. You sent a Century to destroy us. I hardly think a Century is a peacekeeping force. With modified Revenant technology, our small force smote the mighty Paladin. You made your move, now it's time for us to make ours.

- James Emrick, Supreme Commander of the Arrimate Liberation Army

Our sources have confirmed that 1 000 soldiers and 50 attack vehicles were destroyed about five miles south of Highmarch. Images coming in are far too gruesome to televise. Soldiers were literally ripped apart by...something. Our sources indicate that nothing remaining at the location seems to have been capable of dealing this degree of savagery. Adding to the confusion is the fact that every corpse belonged to a unit that was part of Paladin. Chancellor Honnel has declared a state of martial law, stating that "What we have gathered from our reports is that these terrorists are using brutal, inhuman tactics. Surrender for these savages is no longer an option, and it is clear that peaceful surrender is no longer an option."

For now, it seems that there will be no near end to this insurgence.

Researchers have discovered that moments prior to the terrorists' gaining control over Highmarch, Chancellor Honnel made an attempt to bid for a place in the United Nations. Rumor has it that he may have known about the attack, and that it is possible that he is doing this to mask some ulterior motive. Opinion polls show that the public has lost faith in its leader, as his approval rating is just under 22%. Honnel has been seen meeting with top military leaders, presumably to form a new plan.

Last night, ALA forces moved in on the capital city. Currently, they are about two hours from reaching the city streets. No word yet from Chancellor Honnel.

All morning, people have been lining up to leave the city. They have amandoned their vehicles, their homes, and their lives. Police have been patrolling the streets to prevent looting. We at CSN have been evacuated to our secondary facility outside the city, and will continue to bring you updates.

The NAS offers it's forces to the lawful government of Cho-Arrim to disperse the rebels within it's country. Our troops are highly trained and have experience with peacekeeping operations.

My fellow countrymen, this is your Chancellor.

You may be asking yourselves where I have been. You have doubted me, my staff, and my ability to control the situation. The terrorists group claims that htey are advancing on our city. This is CLEARLY not the case, as no enemy forces have been sighted. You may all return to your homes now. I have been meeting with my **[ERROR]**It's you! Guards...wait...how?**[ERROR]**God...no!!

Greetings countrymen. The Chancellor is no more. This is your interim leader, James Emrick. As we speak, the Arrimate Liberation Army is decimating the last of the military installations in all major cities. Only a few pockets of the once-proud Honnel regime remain, and they'll soon be gone too. For now, everyone remain in your houses. An ALA agent will soon visit you with instructions on reclaiming your lives and loved ones. I deeply apologize to those who have lost loved ones in this conflict, but know that their blood wiped clean the sins of my precursor. For now, concentrate on contacting loved ones as best you can. Above all, remain calm and do what you can to enjoy you time with your families.

Thousands of soldiers and armed police were massacred today by the Arrimate Liberation Army (ALA). The move was made during former Chancellor Honnel's address, and lasted just over two hours. James Emrick, leader of ALA forces announced that "the Arrimate Liberation Army is decimating the last of the military installations in all major cities. Only a few pockets of the once-proud Honnel regime remain, and they'll soon be gone too." Estimates indicate that as much as 93% of the Cho-Arrim National Army (CNA), and 99% of the Cho-Arrim National Police (CNP) were wiped out in the first half-hour of combat. Nearly 2500 soldiers and offiers have rallied at Fort Arrim Tertius in the extreme south of the country. The fort is relatively new, and houses a large airfield and several launch silos. Whether they are stocked or not has yet to be seen.

Military strategists are baffled by the speed of the attack, and some are wondering if the Raven Corps, closely linked to the military might of the ALA, has created another of their genetic "experiments" for use in this conflict.

More news as it develops.

OOC: All right. You can bloody well stop THAT.

IC: The NAS condemns the actions taken by the revoloutionary government of Cho-Arrim. We regret to inform you that the whimsical, wholesale murder of your own countrymen cannot go ignored. Therefore, the decision has been made to intervene. A Corps is being prepared as you read this for the liberation of Cho-Arrim.
We hope the situation can come to a swift end without much loss of life.

OOC: The expedition will be commanded by the newly promoted General Fredrickson.

General Frederickson's Corps:

6 Battalions of Waffen-SS Troopers (2,700 men, 144 Pkfw A44 IFV's, 72 Panzer 2A2 MBT's)
60 Battalions of Stormtroopers (27,000 men, 1,440 Pkfw A44 IFV's, 720 Panzer 2A2 MBT's)
2 Battalions of Waffen-SS Marines (2,700 men)

The SS Troopers and Marines are armed thus:

1xBeretta .40 96 Pistol
1xH&K G3A4 7.92x44mm Rifle w/40mm Grenade launcher
1xBody Armour (Vest)
1xGas Mask
1xShoulder-Radio
1xBackpack (Tent, kit, belongings, etc)

The Stormtroopers carry the H&K UMP .45 Submachinegun rather than a G3A4.

You preach liberation, yet you merely desire means to end the freedom I have returned to my people. You have threatened the Arrimate, you have prepared an invasionary force to destroy our way of life, and you soon will shed innocent blood. Your lack of value for human life appals me. There are 1.35 million people that share the fort-city of Arrim Primus with me. If you want an end, come and get it. The will of the Arrimate people will never allow you a victory.

The People Of this nation have been freed from a evil tyrant and how dare you try to intervine in this nations personall problems. Good may i lend my support of the Peoples Army Of the Republic?

I am Prepared to Offer 500,000 troops of the Peoples Army commanded by the most esteem Lord General Samson. And Also 700,000 Tanks under the command General Freemont.

I am offering 5 Divisions Infantry along with the Armored spear head of 7 Armored Divisions. And the Assitence of the Peoples Navy, And The Peoples Airforce.

The NAS seeks not to destroy, but to preserve from the likes of you. You who kills those who oppose your ideals, you who would jeopardize the economical stability and security of you country for your own gain. You do not speak for every man and woman under your rule.
Our forces will not fire a shot unless in their own defence. No fortress can stand the test of time. Food and water are finite, and your people will soon see the futility in the revoloution.

To Soviet Japan: They have freed themselves from one tyrant only to fall under the rule of another. The NAS shall depose this murderer and install a democratic government that the people might govern themselves rather than live and die upon one man's whim.

To The New Aryan State: No you are wrong for this man means what he says and I do believe him. I am apsolutely appalled that you dare call your self a freedom fighter when you mean to put the formor dictator back into power and you are only doing for your own personall gain. You do not mean to install a democracy you mean to put back the evil tyrannous regime it had in the first place.


-Supreme Emperor Yamamoto

The NAS has no intention of empowering Cho-Arrim's previous dictator, but shall have him and Emrick put on trial by a civilian court for their crimes against their country.

The Only Intentions That Soviet Imperial Japan is to support the new government and keep this wise and honest man in in his seat of power so that he can see and do what is right for the safety and well being of not only his people but his nation as a whole.




-Supreme Emperor Yamamoto

The new, communist government of the NAS wishes to make a formal apology to the nations of Cho-Arrim and our comrades in Soviet Imperial Japan for the imperialistic actions of the previous rulers. We shall no longer be sending troops to Cho-Arrim, nor have we any reason to. The NAS wishes Cho-Arrim luck in all it's endeavours.

My fellow Arrimate, we have won. The final bastion of military and police activity has fallen, and we may now get on with our lives. To those who came to our aid, we thank you for your support.

To my compatriots: disarm and return to your families. You will receive word on our next move soon. We have all lost many in this struggle, and now is the time to mourn. I urge all who have evacuated to return home and spend time with family.

From darkness, Light.
