War-loving Ozians!
This day, the Ozian Sancta obviously has gone insane attacking the Saletsian colony, Saletsia-Minor.
Saletsia-Minor is the territory inhabited and built by Saletsians in Utopia when it was still member of the UASS alliance. Ozians launched missiles on major Saletsian cities killing hundreds of civilians claiming they had done it for the welfare of the workers - paradoxically the only workers that have ever been in the area were those from mainland Saletsia: hence the Saletsian Government's right to claim what has been built and developed by them: namely everything within the claimed territory.
So far the Saletsian Governor-General Moshe Elmert had proved to have moral high-ground in this conflict since he refused to retaliate after the shameless attack on Saletsians in their own territory.
Relief efforts are underway with doctors being flown in from the Saletsia military base in Barakarin. Furthermore, the military supplies are being flown in from the same base.
"We may lose, but not without showing them what Saletsian bullets can do to their bloody bodies",said a interviewed soldier in Heshaidon helping to find buried corpses.
"They killed my Papa! They killed my Papa! Criminals! Killers! Murderers", screamed a little girl standing next to a pile of rubble from which an arm is visible. The pile of rubble she stood next to was what used to be their house - built 4 years ago.
Reports have been confirmed that Ozians launched the first actions of aggression while Saletsia was only improving its defense capabilities after finding out about Ozian military mobilization near the Saletsian-Minor border.
Her Imperial Highness, Empress Barga, has expressed her grief and distress over the death of innocent Saletsians and condemned the attack ordered by the Ozian Sancta as an "act of unreasonable and unjustifiable aggression".
Reports say that ballistic missiles from a Saletsian base filled with biological and chemical agents are now aimed at Ozian military targets.

Saletso-Barakarin Legion (SBL)
The Imperial Saletsian Government and the government of Barakarin have agreed to establish a joint-military force in order to further the two country's good relationships. Saletsia has declared itself to finance most of the joint-force while most troopers would come from Barakarin.
The typical tiger-striped BDU of the SBL distinguishes the SBL troopers from both Saletsian and Barakarin soldiers.

Possible Ozian Threat?
After receiving satellite images of Ozian naval vessels in Eastian waters, the Imperial Saletsian Armed Forces were put on high alert and fully mobilized. Borders are being mined - as well as selected areas of the Western Coastline in order to avoid any hostile landings. Furthermore, howitzers are put in position and all battle units are ready. Even the civilian population - that is taught how to fight at school - is being prepared for a possible invasion and guerilla warfare.
Weapons productions hit a new year high.
A classified number of SBL legionnaires plus equipment has been sent to Saletsia.

Ozians getting closer - Neighbors Mobilizing!!!
After the mobilization of all Saletsian forces and preparing the civilian population for a possible war - caused by invasory attempts - the neighboring nations of Union of Free Men and the People's Republic of Loyalist have started mobilizing their military forces.
Saletsia's foreign ministry denounces the move as a sign of hostility towards the Empire. A spokesperson said that the fact these neighbors were mobilizing while Saletsians are preparing for a possible struggle to defend their homeland implies that our neighbors may have some secret military agreements with the two states.
Even an offer of a non-aggression-pact by Saletsia to UFM was declined - strengthening the rumors about the UFM and PLR planning hostile actions against Saletsia. Though troubling, the main threat for Saletsian security at the moment is - as officials say - the approaching Ozian vessels.
In order to secure the country against attacks, Chancellor Ariel Levana has invited Xyraelite forces into Saletsia: "These foreign forces will guarantee that no nation that does not wish to go to war with the State of Xyrael will launch any attack on the Empire."

Western Fleet returns
After conducting some maneuvers with Xyraelite vessels, the Saletsian Western Fleet now has went back to its position. There they would also meet with some other Xyraelite vessels for small-scale maneuvers.
Meanwhile the Saletsian Air-Force has been conducting recon flights near Llanydern.

PRL provokes tensions!
The Imperial Saletsian Government decided to act against the threat posed by PRL and UFm forces.
After reports of mobilization and militarization along the borders with Saletsia and reports on military satellites spying Saletsian and Xyraelite military installations and defense structures, Saletsia decided to state and ultimatum to PRL to demilitarize and denounce the reports - a chance for peace which the Loyalists deliberately did not take which in turn showd the Saletsian their Southern neighbors were not interested in peace.
In order to force the PRL to demilitarize and to minimize the threat it posed - even having target ranges going as far as 20km into Saletsian territory - Chancellor Ariel Levana ordered IRBM and artillery attacks on certain targets in PRL and the attack on its biggest garrisons being around the biggest cities.
As of now the People's Repunlic of Loyalist seem to have fooled its allies by implying a war was going on while neither Saletsia nor the State of Xyrael had declared war. The strikes were necessary preemptive measures and Saletsia not launching anymore attacks underlines the defensive nature of the strikes.
Right now Saletsia and Xyrael are awaiting further reaction from PLR and its allies which would either bring peace or war to the region.

PRL launches deliberate attack on Saletsia
The PRL has launched a series of nuclear attacks mainly targeting the civilian population of Saletsia#s major cities. The Death toll alone in Bandana has so far risen to an estimated 12 million. Exact numbers are yet unknown.
Saletsia has responded by launching more warheads against the military bases left in tact.

PRL crushed! UFM attacks Saletsia
The People's Republic of Loyalist is destroyed. It has seen itself in a hopeless situation and detonated all nuclear devices in its own territory leading to the death of millions and to a massive amount of radioactive fallout in the area.
Meanwhile the Union of Free Men launched an attack against the Empire by sending in transport planes with paratroopers - all of which have been destroyed by the SAF. Nuclear attacks have also taken place.
It is now evident that both PRL and UFM did not want peace from the very beginning.
The Saletsian Armed Forces are currently battling the enemy.

Imperial Order to Defend the Nation

6 fresh armies are being sent to UFM to finally crush the enemy.

War in UFM over!
After the Union of Free Men accepted a final peace offer from Saletsia, war has not ended between the two nations. Part of the peace treaty was the fact that UFM is now member of the Eastian Aliiance.

Meanwhile the combined forces have now went on heading East to Llanydern which has been attaced by Saletsian forces in order to secure the area from any possible attacks against the combines Eastian forces.
