ADVANCED GUNMEN SEIZE RAEBERG, MILITARY SWEEPS NATION
Raeberg- Breaking news, the city of Raeberg's center has fallen to terrorists after a highly-coodinated and highly advanced takeover. The report is that this morning at 8:30 AM approx, at the height of morning commute, 19 gunmen (armed with advanced, classified military weapons) swept into the Chambers of Parliament Metro Station, taking hostages, killing 6 security guards before quickly moving up to Parliament (which was in session). They took the entire parliament hostage, but suspiciously let National Republican members leave safely. Police were not informed of the incident until 10 minutes after it began, because of the Met's networks were jammed by high-tech jamming. All nearby police vehicles were efficiently sabotaged, further delaying polizei arrival. At 9:00, the terrorists let out an announcement: for ever 10 minutes a monarchy existed in Hergemoth a parliamentary would die. At 9:30, the third SDP backbencher was killed. The King had made no comment, and had begun an attempt to evacuate when a team of gunmen assaulted the palace.
15 gunmen with expert training occupied the palace in 90 seconds, holding the entire royal family hostage, stating the king would die at noon if he didn't abdicate, dissolve the government and surrender the country to the "Hidden Star" organization, a shadowy terrorist organization that claimed responsibility after their demands were met 6 hours ago. By this time the entire national security apparatus had been disabled, and military forces had reportedly restricted national airspace and set up "command zones" in remote locations outside major cities. At 11:00, the 20th Deputy was gunned down, and no attempts to relieve any captured buildings (over 10 more major buildings had been seized by now) were being made. The military had effectively seized Ossteraz, Laurizt, Lothairstad, and Cravor. Police within cities that had not surrendered were killed swiftly. At 11:30 the king said he would begin negotiating when the military's surrender of their allegiance was confirmed.
In the end the king reluctantly agreed to surrender the nation to the Hidden Star which revealed themselves to him in the course of the negotiation, 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. He at 1:45 announced on an at-gunpoint broadcast to the nation that he was abdicating and that the military and Hidden Star organization would have control of Hergemoth effective 2:00 PM. In this fifteen minutes all the remaining government members, thousands of them, were transfered to military prisons across the nation, joining thousands of recently arrested list dissidents. Meanwhile, the royal family with the exception of Prince Rudolf, who was reportedly airlifted to an unconfirmed Hidden Star bunker, remain unaccounted for, supposedly being kept in the palace. The Polizei have been reformed, mainly with Hidden Star sympathists and old Polizei simply willing to enforce law, were deployed nationally to uphold order in wake of the "coup".
After 2:00, Hidden Star command centers reportedly got to work reforming the government of Hergemoth. After a highly-coodinated operation, they have begun to form a new perpetuistic regime, Prince Rudolf and the military are prime suspects to be behind this. Hidden Star was unheard of before today, but after revelations they made after 3:30 PM, they were exposed to be a large group of military and police officers, businessmen, anti-monarchy leaders, perpetuist leaders, Intelligence agents, and much more. They were a highly influential group with access to the entire military, advanced civilian and military equipment, billions in funds, and plenty of resources and areas to be used covertly. Hidden Star, now the governing body of Hergemoth, is holing itself up at it's nuclear bunker in [REDACTED]. This will be the last issue of Hergemoth Royal News, but tune in for any reports in the coming days.
