War is Brewin'
28th November, 2019
After an attempt by the Shazbotdom Armed Forces in attempting to help stabilize a nation that has been granted it's independence by their Colonizer, a fleet from the Shazbotdom Imperial Navy, as well as several aircraft of the Shazbotdom Marine Air Corps, have reportedly come under attack. While information is sketchy at this point in time, the Imperial Palace has designated that the nation who they believe has attacked Imperial Assets in the region is The Empire of Communist and Socialist Unions. The Ministry of the Military has called this an unprovoked attack and is working closely with the Imperial Parliament in drafting up an Official Declaration of War.
Rumor within the Foreign Relations community states that the Shazbotdom Strategic Command has also been activated in the event of an attempted attack against the mainland of the Shazbotdom Empire. Nuclear weapons have come online across the Empire as well as within the Strategic Assault Submersible fleets of the Shazbotdom Imperial Navy. The Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense Shield has also been activated in the event of an NBC attack upon the Imperial Mainland as well as the Colonial Holdings of the Shazbotdom Empire. If the activation of StratCom is deemed true, then this would the first time that the Strategic Command has been activated in this massive scale since the nuclear bombings over half a century ago. There has been no official word from the Imperial Palace of this activation.
The Supreme Emperor is slated to address the Empire on this matter within the next hour. The Press Corps have been mobilized by the various news outlets within the Empire and they are converging upon the Shazbotdom Imperial Palace as of this online publication. We will bring you more news as this unfolds.
