Sept 25, 2007- USA International News Report:
With the recent discovery of a rich uranium deposit on Taralensian soil, and the subsequent initiation of government funded mining and development projects, The Republic of Khallasir has voiced concern for it's safety. Grand Emperor Dorian Kormell XVII has assured the President that any testing conducted is merely for the production of nuclear power supplies.
Oct 30, 2007- Khallasir News Net:
Tempers flared during a meeting between Emperor Dorian and President Assad Narrir concerning the ongoing development of Taralensia's nuclear program. The meeting was called to an abrupt end when the president gave Emperor Dorian a one month ultimatum to halt all further extraction of radioactive resources.
Nov 30, 2007- Private Transmission from President Assad to Emperor Dorian:
"My old friend, your stubbornness appalls me. I have been more than fair in our dealings in the past but your reluctance to comply with our plan for regional peace cannot be ignored.
Dec 1, 2007- Taralensia Foreign Intel report:
<begin trans> Hostile intent confirmed <stop>
Khallasir Natl guard mobilized <stop>
Recommend military response<stop><end trans>
Oct 7, 2007- Emperor Dorian Kormell XVII Govt Press Release:
People of the Empire, six days ago, the Republic of Khallasir had mobilized it's troops to our shared border to the south. We considered this an open act of hostility and sent a three day ultimatum to withdraw it's forces from the border. It's failure to comply, along with the sudden separation from the PAU, has left us no choice but to respond in kind with the mobilization of our own forces to the border. We pray this will not escalate into a full armed conflict, but we will not back down until the Republic withdraws it's opposition to our nuclear power program.

The PAU is a peaceful, socialist region devoted to ensuring the freedoms and right to life of all its people. The nation of Taralensia has shown throughout their long membership absolutely no harmful intent toward its neighbours whatsoever, and has been nothing but a positive force. Their recent uranium discovery simply allows them to pursue a new source of relatively safe and affordable energy and will be key in their development as a nation. The Taralensians obviously have no aggressive intents and the rampant paranoia of Khallasir has no place within a union of friendly neighbour states dedicated to mutual betterment. The continued military presence of Khallasir on PAU member soil will absolutely not be tolerated.
If the ultimatum is not met and the Khallasir troops do not withdraw within the established time period Roseariea and it's military allies of Costa del Apollo and Rosengarrd will have no choice but to mobilize a greater number of troops then people living in Khallasir. We beg you to withdraw. It cannot be made clearer.
Military support from nations outside the PAU is wholly unneeded and unwelcome at this point. This situation need not escalate and we have adequate defence should Khallasir make an incorrect decision of their own volition. We do not want war, but we will defend our people.
Solidarity is key here, comrades. Rest assured, Taralensia will remain secure and stable. The union is behind you.
- Gordon Tills, Roseariean Ambassador to the UN.
On Behalf of the true government of Evoinia, I, Maximillian Renault pledge our solidarity with our allies in Khallasir. We invite the Khallasirian Military to flex their muscle firstly by aiding us in the defeat of our rebels and of the corrupt leadership of PAU. Once we, in our combined solidarity, have defeated them... Taralensia will fall swiftly.
Kritian Guard Forces will be mobilized to aid you when nescessary, in return we expect full aid and compliance in the crushing of all of our enemies.
- Maximillian Renault.
----
Hello allies of Taralensia,
I, Jonas Spyridon, am firmly convinced these actions of the Khallasirians were due in part to pressure from a certain Dictator Renault, who wishes to distablize PAU so as to ensure his own victory in our inevitable war. Thus we, the legitimate government of Evoinia, give our full support to you and hope you will realize that only in defeating Renault, will we all ever find peace.
In the utmost solidarity,
- Jonas Spyridon, Leader of the Evoinian Anti-Dictatorship League.

The Kingdom of Dessert Peoples wishes to show it's full support to Taralensia in the ongoing conflict over uranium mining. We intend to send a battalion of soldiers to help reclaim borders and build new communication lines.
"How immature these nations are, squablling over uranium, when the power of the sun is all they need. Do we intervene?"
"Yes, we do. Send them a message from the gods, to their uranium mining hotspots. I'm sure that project Valhalla could do with a bit of dusting off."
_________________
"This is Valhalla control: satellites Thor III and Loki V are ready."
"We have an idea of the area they are intended to hit?"
"Yes sir, we do."
The satellites in orbit got into position, pointing downwards. Similtaneously, each fired a 50cm diameter tungsten sphere, strapped to a small rocket.
The rockets broke open as it entered the atmosphere, and the spheres began to glow as they continued to shoot at a speed of 20km/s through the atmosphere, heating up immensly. Within seconds, they hit their targets.
"We aren't sure of accuracy yet sir, waiting for EITS II to give us visual."
"Alright."
If, as they had been planned to, hit the sedimentary rock of their targets, a crater of about 50m diameter would have been raised, as well as the atmospheric overpressure flattening every building within 100 metres of the impact. No fireball, at these low velocities, neither a powerful earthquake. If they didn't find the unusally high levels of molten tungsten in the crater, they would believe it was an act of god.
In the Middle of the Ocean
"Grand Marshall Klague! Urgent report from Virticon.", shouted a young Colonel as he entered the Marshall's quarters, a sealed manila envelope in hand. "We believe the transmission was sent via KRIA channels, but you know with them... never sure of anything."
Klague looked up from his computer, he had just been reading the most recent article of uranium shortages in Antarctika, an issue which would ruin the Koalition if not dealt with. Kroando was completely dependent upon nuclear power, 91% of the nation being run on this source of energy. Without nuclear power, the entire nation would freeze over, exterminating whatever life existed on the continent. Uranium had to be obtained. It was that the Kroandons were thinking about, all they wanted, all they needed. Every Government Agency, Korporation, Military Force and Comapny was out looking for the substance. And now it had been found. KRIA, one of Kroando's leading intelligence agencies, had clearly stumbled upon the issue in Taralensia, and passed it on to Klague.
Klague took the report, toar it open and read over the files within. After roughly ten minutes, the Grand Marshall looked up and spoke. "Get us a heading dead north Colonel." And with that the massive fleet was on the move. Hundreds of vessels now toar through the water towards the shores of Taralensia, and soon was sent a message to the Government of the nation.
To Whom It May Concern,
We have heard of your troubles, and wish to aid you in your quest to free your nation of these tyrannical invaders. My force is enroute, please send a detailed map of your nation, with markings displaying the attackers. We shall also inquire into the strength of the aggressors, including numbers and positions.
[Kroandon 3rd Expeditionary Group]
"Commander Casimir!" yelled a young solider in Kritiac High Command.
"We have recieved notice from the High Leader Renault to assist the Khallasirians as soon as possible. PAU will not be able to stand a war on two fronts!"
Casimir, Leader of the Elite Kritian Guard, smiled. "Exactly our plan. Now, while they prepare in Evoinia and Taralensia... We will have already begun. Prepare Kritiac Land Transports Beta through Sampi for the assults. We're going to need them."

*JTF Commander:Gen Maj.David Rodriguez Sends a broadcasting message from Taralensia soil and sends a message to Khallasirians troops*

Taralensian Encoded message:
to: PAU alliance Command
From: Gen. Azrael Allakesh
My comrades, my cousins, my brothers. The sudden destruction of two of our northern mines has sparked a state of widespread panic among the people, the religious groups have claimed it an act of the gods, but our long range tracking systems report a faint echo outside the planets atmosphere. while we handle ground based operations,I would like to request access to any data collected for that region of space during that time that may have been collected, also, We formally request to allow an external force to assist our quickly shrinking naval force.
==========================================================
Khallasir presidantial release:
People of our great nation! these Taralensian dogs hide behind their allies and cower like rats. Let us show them we are not afraid of them and will crush them for the safety of our great state!

My comrades, my cousins, my brothers. The sudden destruction of two of our northern mines has sparked a state of widespread panic among the people, the religious groups have claimed it an act of the gods, but our long range tracking systems report a faint echo outside the planets atmosphere.
We of Roseariea possess a relatively advanced information technology sector and a complete satellite surveillance of the skies above our region. We will forward you all recent readings for observation and allow your government access to our top scientists for interpretation and investigation, they are a very formidable bunch.
We are immediately sending 250,000 of our guardsmen equipped with standard compliments plus Roseariean psychotropic crowd control issue.
These soldiers can be stationed directly in your capitol, and will allow you to concentrate on building your navy.
"Shall we give them a bit more?"
"No, let's wait until they find out it was us, After then, we can commence an orbital bombardment."
The satellites changed their orbits ever-so slightly, hopefully to avoid detection.

For prompt release!

Attention warring parties! Once again, Brettonian Military Industries, purveyors of The Technology of Peaceā¢, has crafted a solution that shall result in minimal bloodshed and a mutual benefit for all parties involved! The right honorable governments of Taralensia and Khallasir may both leave this dreadful theater without wasting a single human life, and have mutually profited from our involvement!
Brettonian Military Industries shall purchase all Taralensian fissile material at the current fair market price.
Brettonian Military Industries will mine, package, and ship the raw radiological ores completely pro bono, allowing the right honorable government of Taralensia to maximize its profits.
By mining all fissile material, the right honorable government of Khallasir shall have no fear of a potential crisis involving domestic nuclear devices on either front. By withdrawing from hostilities, Khallasir stands to achieve their goals with regards to preventing domestic nuclear woes without a costly war or loss of life and limb.
With the main source of violence quelled, all external parties shall have no further provocation in continuing an unnecessary conflict, and may return back to their own spheres of influence having not wasted a single additional cent on a fruitless endeavour.
Domestic security of Taralensia and Khallasir shall be mutually obliged by Brettonian Military Industries' standard practice of protecting foreign assets and the governmental and nongovernmental faculties entailed (e.g. the people and properties of Taralensia and Khallasir). Continued hostilities against the now-peaceful parties will result in severe consequences for the aggressors.
At Brettonian Military Industries, we seek a world without strife and conflict via mutual deterrence and respect among nations and states. By following through with our above plan, safety, peace and security will be had by all participants in this abortive conflict, and what price can be placed on that? The answer: free! Such is the visionary future of the world through the lenses of the great Brettonian Solution to war and conflict. We look forward to your speedy acknowledgment and the execution of our plan for peace.
