SHNN News Reports:
"Fighting has erupted in several cities and towns within the Fate and Honor Imperial Province of Anbah. Left-Wing Communist Seperatist took over police stations, executed local leaders, and booted the governor out of office. The Emperor of Fate and Honor has gone on TV and adressed the people calling the uprising, "Negligible." The War Ministry has given the seperatist 24 hours to lay down their arms and allow the leaders to be brought to justice before Fate and Honor armed forces move in."

We support the government. This is not a sign of favoritism for either capitalism or socialism, because, to be frank, we do not follow either, as both ae imperfect institutions of economic growth. No, it is because we advocate a nation's sovereignty and if dissenters use violent protest as a means to secede from the government, then they should be crushed with impunity.- Security Minister Gregorio Ducheski

Emperor Robertius has issued this statement to the international community and people of Fate and Honor, and it reads:
People of my nation, negotiations have failed with these terrorist rebels. I have personally ordered the Armed Forces of Fate and Honor to completely eradicate the prescense of these criminals. In approximately ten minutes from now the first waves bombing will begin. Please pray for our forces, and for the unity of our nation.
Imperial Courts of Domestic Affairs
...Ten minutes later.
"This is Fox-One to Combat Control, we requestion permission to begin the carpet bombing of enemy positions."
"Fox-One, this is Combat Control, you have green for go. You may begin your targeting of enemy positions."
The Rebels are fortifying positions outside Anbah's main city, Anbah Prime. Putting their Pick-up truck technicals into position, stationing artillery, and digging in. They hear the faint roar of of airplanes in the distance and begin to run for cover. Second by second the B-52's get closer. The B-52's release their payload and soon the desert sand is being kicked up by the enormous force of the bombs. Rebel vehicles and positions are being decimated, and rebel foot soldiers are scrambling around.
"Hoo ha! We smoked them fools!"
"Watch out manuevering, the city is off limits to bombings!"
"Arrrrgh! We're hit, the controls are sticking."
A heavy machine gun fire steaks into one of the B-52's causing it to stray off its' bombing run and destroy a block of the city. The buildings crumbling and shattered brick lying everywhere.
"We're okay now, hyrdraulics came back on-line."
The B-52's circle around and head back to base leaving behind craters after crater, dead bodies, moaning injured rebels, and scorched burning vehicles. Remaining rebels flee into the city and fortify inside the city.
"Would you look at that, did they think they could win?"
Fate and Honor

The B-52's landed at the airbase and refitted. Arming with more powerful bombs for their new mission. Several outlying villages have been taken over by the rebels and the rebels there must be softened up also. The Villages were desginated Village I, II, III.
"This is Fox-One we're taking off from the airbase and are on our way to desginated target Village I."
"Roger Fox-One, this is Fox-Two, we're on our way to designated target Village II."
"Affirmative, this is Fox-Three we are on our way to designated target Village III."
"This is Command Control, you all have permission to proceed with the mission."
On the way to their targets the crew were reading the specifics of the mission. A startling detail was this excerpt from the orders:
Everything and anything standing in your designated targets is a valid enemy position. Use no discremination. The War Ministry has given direct and explicit orders for us to destroy every standing building, fortification, and persons in these villages.
Intelligence has pointed out that the villagers are friendly to the rebels, designating them as enemy combatants under Fate and Honor rules of engagement.
Villagers were going about their life under the rule of the milita rebels. In "Village I" a farmer tending to his crops was the first to notice the droning of jet engines. Upon the horizon he saw 3 large black airplanes. He thought nothing significant of it. He bends down to continue tending his crap when he hears a streak overhead. Seconds later a couple hundred-yards away a fireball erupted from the villages administration office.
The poor humble farmer had no idea that it was a barrage of Tamahawk Cruise Missiles, but he did know he and his family was in immediate danger. Streak after streak he heard as police stations, bunkers, and sandbag fortifications erupted into flames and the dying sprawling out in all direction. He brought his family into his small farm-house and took cover under their bed.
Overhead the roaring of the B-52's could be heard, and then rapid explosions erupted across the village. The poor farmer's family could feel the earth shattering and shaking violently. The droning of the B-52 engines could be heard fading off, but a new one was approaching. The farmer emerged from his house and witnessed a landscape of burning scorched lands, dead bodies in the street, the houses and offices were almost completely flattened. He felt he was fortunate because his house was on the outskirts of the village. However, just as he came out of his trance viewing the devestation the fourth B-52 opened its' bomb port and a large object decended to Earth. This was a 20,000 LB conventional bomb meant to finish the village. Everything went in slow motion for the farmer, he turned to run back to his family but to no avail. The bomb landed in the center of the city and he felt a massive amount of heat approaching him.
"This is Fox-One, Village I has been completely eradicated."
"Took you long enough Fox-One, Village II and III are done for too."
"Mission acomplished Command Control."
"Affirmative, return to base."

Imperial Communique
To: Internation Community
From: Imperial War Ministry
After reclaiming Anbah from the rebels, we have decided that we will use Anbah's border to launch an invasion of our pesky neighbor Rasma (Not a real person's nation). We feel that they have sponsored the Left-Wing uprising seeing as they are a Communist government. Once conquered we will replace their government with Imperial Governors and bring it under the benevolent command of the Emperor. The invasion will occure within a few days, preperations are being made now for the ground assault. Currently bombing sorties are destroying defence sites and we have air superiority.

Dimmimaran embassy in the Rasman capital....
"What's happening!? Communications are down. We can relay a thing!"
"I don't know sir, the preliminary report suggests that divisions are moving, something on the Honorian border..."
"Look into it for me."
OOC:
Whats the name of your people? Like mine are Dimmimaran.....
Fate and Honor
14-09-2004, 17:04
We wish to alert Dimmimar as to the status of events. You cannot relay messages due the fact that we are scrambling all transmitting equipment. Currently Ten Legions of the Imperial Army are working their way through the nation of Rasam towards the capital city. We will be specifically targeting Rasman military and government facilities. We, however, do wish to warn you that you should take cover - nothing ever goes according to plan. We wish to assure you that this agression is in response to their participation in a recent uprising in our nation.
Alexius Julii
Foreign Minister, Imperial Courts of Foreign Affairs
OOC: Really, it is a toughy what to call them. Imperians perhaps.
Aust cmdemms these acts, we support the eradication of communists however the brutal fasion in wich they where killed disgusts us, we demand a apology.
Dimmimar

"Our embassy does have an extensive bunker system. Although we will demand an explanation if our diplomats are eviserated..."
Chronosia
14-09-2004, 17:48
The Chronosian Imperium; while respecting its Imperial brothers, sees the great and terrible ways in which you eradicated the communist rebels; We feel, that more could have been done to peacefully settle the disturbance, rather than all out violence. If peace talks had been started, perhaps a united government, with members from both sides could stand. However; Chronosia cannot change what has happened and instead would ask a ceasefire against Rasman and a complete report of the situation, that we may assess it further. The procurement of peace throughout the world is the goal of the Imperium; and any attempt to further disrupt peace must be stopped.

The Rogue Nation of Gnomedude has picked up spotty communications of possible trouble in the Imperial Province of Anbah.
Although we have limited military resources, we do have humanitarian aid avalible. If accepted we can send 50 mobile medical units to help treat whatever wounded comes to us.

We will halt our advance and will not move onto the capital city of Ras and its' outlying province. This cease-fire will allow time for those who feel that I act out of order to realize that I do not. My small, oh so humble nation, can't allow foreign nations to induce uprising in our territory. However, there cannot be a United Government. A Emperor cannot answer to another person within his nation.
While we do realize the the destruction of the rebels was quite harsh, our nation does no see it as so. Under our rules of war, one of the laws actually voted on by the people of our nation, anyone who cooperates with the enemy is an enemy his or himself and can be treated as one.
We assure Dimmimar that diplomats will remain in their protected status. We will, if the talks with Rasma go nowhere, use the most restraint to avoid embassies and civilians.
We appreciate the offer of assistance from Gnomedude, while our province is secure and we are able to rebuild the bit of damage done to it we would appreciate assistance in rebuilding Rasma if they do not accept the terms we have provided to them.
The Cease-Fire will last 24 Hours (10 Real life Minutes) for negotiations to occur. Should Rasma remain stubborn and refuse to negotiate they will be annihilated. Should they choose to annex out to us, no more blood must be spilled and their leaders will become governors and local leaders.

From: Emperor Robertius
To: Marcus De Drakan
The Emperor is joyous at the prospect of being a brother in arms with Chronosia and accept all aid. May this be a long and prosperous alliance and friendship between our two peoples
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to international pressure, and the prospect of having an oppurtunity of benelovent occupation rather than annihilation we, The Nation of Rasman, hereby annex to the Imperial Might of Fate and Honor.
The Rasmans have agreed to the annexation under pressure from our militarys, and that of Chronosia. We appreciate all support that we have gotten through this process. May peace rain upon the fields!

Chronosia rejoices at the yielding of Rasma to the forces of Order and Imperial stability. The rebellion is over; and peace can once again fill the area. Chronosia would be happy to aid in any Rasman rebuilding, and in aiding the Dimmimarian diplomats. Would the Dimmimarians be interested in a tour of the Imperium; or perhaps alliance talks, in the process?

We will not interfere with the decision, though we are unimpressed with the heavy handed methods used in this conflict. As such, we are classifying the Imperial nation of Fate and Honor as a possible danger. Do not take this as an insult, we only monitor you for both of our nation's safety.- Foreign Minister Raphael Locke
Chronosia
14-09-2004, 18:34
And what of Chronosia? Shall you take these measures with us? Put us on a list and make us seem to be an enemy of freedom; when the spreading of peace and the protection of Empires and Imperials across the globe is our goal? The Chronosian Imperium is no boogeyman to be feared, but a brother to be embraced, an Imperial brother, as is Fate and Honor. Deal with me as you will, brethern.
Your apologie to Aust was insufficant and ingraceful thus we must say that a state of War now exists between our nations. (OOC:Austians take such things very seriously).
--------------
In Aust verious missile silos opened up sending a barrage of missiles towards the capital city of Fate and Honor, only 30 had been fired just as a decliration of intent.
Chronosia
14-09-2004, 19:21
As a result of Aust's unforgivable missle assault on our allies; a state of armed conflict now exists between the nations of Aust and the Imperium of Chronosia. Aust can surrender and become part of the Imperium; or it can fight, and feel the full wrath of the Chronosian military.
-Emperor Marcus De Drakan
----------------------------------------------------
In Chronosia, a state of military readiness was signalled. Men rushed to weapons lockers, airships refuelled, vehicles and personnel were being quickly loaded. And far off in the Chronosian desert; deep beneath the earth, lights winked on and off, and great silo hatches began to slowly slide open. Only three missles were fired; roughly in the coordinates of Aust's main cities. At least two of them were High explosive; the final one was an air-fuel missle; designed for maximum destruction of life.
The Emperor watched all this with eager eye; and smiled.

In Aust, 1 skyscraper was leveled by the missiles and 1 more badly damaged, the other missile was distroyed by the AMDS. 13,000 men, Women and Children where killed.
The Emporer apeered on ABC news and declared a state of war between Chronosia and Aust. We are saddened that the people of Chronosia take a stance behind a opressive regime such as Fate and Honour.
The missile silos fired again unleashing 100 high explosive missiles on Chronosia capital city and main city, each missile designed for maximum effect.

Orbital death rained from the heavens; a terrible rain of war and chaos; it poured upon the land, scourging all in its path; weapoins factories exploded, disgorging smokem and flame and debris upon the city; skyscrapers crumbled to dust, schools, hospitals, none were spared in the death shower. Even the Imperial palace was not spared; for half of it was fully demolished under the assault. The death toll stood at thousands, men, women, children. A day of mourning faded into a night of anger.
The troops were being prepared, loaded into their airships; men and mechs, gunbikes and gunmen. The ship itself was bristling with weaponry; the flagship of the Imperial Fleet; The Ragnarok. As the fleet began to liftoff, their engines roaring, tearing free from the land, the Emperor swore vengence; not from afar; but on the frontlines.

I give my thanks to the Dracun Imperium; and cordially suggest a formal alliance between the Imperial powers of myself, the Dracuns and the nation of Fate and Honor. This 'Alliance of Imperiums' would have us as allies and Warbrethern; in the coming days of darkness. The heavy hand of Aust, is but a sign of dreader deeds to come. Once our enemy is pacified; perhaps then we can discuss mutual expansion and peace.

Dracun Tribunal
OOC: If he just apologised then this whole thing could be avoided. Are you a future ech nation? Because airships don't really work for me, I'm a modern nation.
IC: In Aust a red alert was triggered a a U2 satalite saw the enermy forces begin to move, no prizes where iven to guess there destination. The Commanders knew they where heading for a deathtrap. The enermy had a choice, try to airdrop over Aust. HArd as Paratroopers could not hold off legions.
Or they could try to attack from the sea, if they did they'd have to first defeat the Austian navy, fight off the Royal Air Force and then avoid the missiles of Austian silos. Then, and only then they would ahve to try and land on the Bambinio coast, Austs only link to the sea. This was around 10 miles long and almost all of those miles where a port.
At this moment Austian legions where being hurryed to the Bambinio coast to fight off this chance, the only way the enermy could break through would be through bitter street fighting. And that would kill many of them, as it is near impossable to defeat a well dug in enermy from the sea.
Then there where the reserves of course who would fight, the men and women of Aust who after serving there 7 year period of conscirption had been issued with a gun and had joined a reserve legion. Those legions too where being mobalised.
Even if the enermy did take the chost and the ports, they would have to fight up the Babinio corrodor, a 30 mile long, and 10 mile wide strip of land that connected the old Aust to the coast, this was heavly populated and had many good roads and bridges that doubtless would be distroyed.
Then to the Mainland of Aust itself and after that they would have to concor a country bigger than Russia.
A airborn invasion would doubtless be attempted, but that was near impossable, Aust is mountainus and it's surrounded by other nations any airforvce would have to fight through the RAF and fly over the BAmbinio corrodor to even attack Aust.
So the Austians where quietly confident The Bambinio Corrodor was being evacuated, all children where been taken out of that area while 65 Aust Trooper legions and 6 ASS legions where being ordered to the coast, in the rest of Aust, despite all armed forces being on red alert and all Reserve Legions being ordered to be ready to call up within 24 hours life continued as normal.
However the emporer did send one message to the enermy nations
From: Aust
To: All Hostile forces.
We regret this must happen if Fate and Honor would apologise to us then we may call off this war.
