Broadcasted over a Nueve Italian Military satellite to any available feed:

To any out there, to any listening, please, aid us. My name is Antonio Orsini Gori, rightful heir to the Emperor's throne of the Holy Imperial Republic. A division in the Senate of the Republic has led to a massive uprising against my father, the Emperor. Currently, there is no means of contacting the Emperor, who is now being held hostage in a security bunker north of our capital city. The entire nation is in chaos, with those supporting OHIR forces (The Old Holy Imperial Republic) against a large group of citizens and soldiers fighting to establish a new Dictatorial Empire. In this dark hour, we are forced once again to wage war upon our fellow countrymen. We, the true soldiers of the rightful rule of Nueve Italia, are hopelessly outnumbered, and are requesting aid to any who would help us in our plight. I, son of the Emperor, beg of anyone out there to help us.

Message Ends

~ At Cpt. Antonio Gori's airfield, fighter's were already being scrambled. Seven of Eighteen major cities were in complete support of the Imperialist forces, and though he hated just the very thought of it, the Captain's squadron would have to try and quell this rebellion.

" How could this have happened. . .the army is in full support of this movement. . riots in every city. . .No matter. Peace must be achieved. Democracy must prevail."

Waiting inside the Communications building for any response to his alert message, Antonio sighed. It was going to be a long day.
