“As you are aware, at approximately 17:10 this evening air and ground forces from the Scandinavian Empire attacked Citadel City. Their attack was a failure, with the city sustaining minimal damage and zero civilian casualties. Two pilots, nine Legion, six police officers lost their lives defending this city and it’s people. The People of Havensky mourn this loss of life and are thinking of their families at this time.
This will be a short speech. We, The Skyan People, have spent many of our words in the pursuit of peace. We have spoken at the Gothic Council in ULE City. We have spoken to our neighbors to the east. We have spoken to our friends in the Golden Throne. We have spoken to many many people all in the pursuit that we may solve our differences.
The Slaver Empire obviously isn’t interested in talking.
For too long, the Skybound Republic of Havensky has tolerated the existence of slavery on the grounds that it was ‘in the interest of peace’ to do so. What was has our tolerance of this despicable, unlawful, and wretched institution earned us? An attack on our sovereign territory.
Today, at this moment, that changes. There will be zero tolerance of the slave trade near Skyan territory or near any Skyan vessel. All military vessels are henceforth ordered to seize any and all slave carrying vessels they encounter. The Skybound Republic will issues bounties towards any slave that is brought to Skyan territory and freed. The Skybound Republic will also issue Letters of Marque for the destruction of all slaver assets.
I am aware that by normal diplomatic standards, such actions are acts of war. Let it be known that the Skyan People found themselves in a State of War with the Slaver Empire of the Scandinavians the moment they put enemy troops inside Skyan territory. While the Skyans are interested in a peaceful resolution to this matter, do not think for one moment that there will be no retribution for their actions. The Legionary Armada has been ordered to take such actions to make the Skybound Republic safe - and we shall not be fighting alone. Already, the Golden Throne of the Maccabees has pledged their support to defending this city. Already our alliance with them has helped in the defense of this city with Maccabean Air Defenses shooting down multiple Slaver Aircraft. The Templars from our friends in Briska have helped us clear the streets.
Be it known, that the Skybound Republic will continue to keep the sea and skylanes open. There will be zero tolerance for any attempt to impede free trade and transit throughout the Safe Passage routes.
I have ordered Ambassador Bexar to ULE City where he will stay in the Skyan Embassy and receive any ambassador from the Slaver Empire of any Gothic nation willing to aid in a peaceful solution to this conflict. However, as the Slaver Empire has offered no reasonable demand or explanation for their attack we have no choice but demand the complete surrender of the Slaver Empire and the dissolution of slavery in the Gothic territories.
Be it known, The Skyan’s preference is for peace - but do not mistaken our amicable nature for weakness. The Skybound Republic will defend our liberty from the forces that seek to take it from us!
On the behalf and behest of the Skyan People, we reach our arms out in friendship to all those who would join us. Goodnight.”

The basis of Scandinvna society was it s complete homogeneity. This notion has caused the Scandinvans to become effectively cut off from the rest of the world. Thus the thought of foreigners entering the Empire as anything except slaves was a foreign and frightening idea to many. This sort of attitude had prompted the Glorious Empire to install a rather impressive series of fortifications, anti-air defenses, missile grids, and detection systems.The Macabees wrote:Above the Scandinvan Skies
Suicide mission...
The launch was harrowing. The voyage across Earth's low-orbit was stomach-churning. Then came the sudden jolt of the free-fall stage. There, far above Earth below, ten strangely shaped and metallic capsules released four pods apiece. These were literally ejected 'downwards,' towards the gorgeous blue-green planet. And then it rained.
Sargént Jarl Gabán smiled as he heard that eerie click and jerk of the released restraints. Around him and before him stretched a metallic tube and out, not too far in the distance, was Earth. Beyond that, he could not see much, as his helmet blocked much of his vision. His body felt detached, as if subjugated by the suit. His armor was truly impressive. It was painted in a light tan tone, the scatter of black spotting unpredictably spaced, like the hide of a hyena. A suitable suit of armor for a man who went by just that name. The inside of the monitor was alive, most of the screen looking to track and analyze threats, with different statistics and readings along the perimeter. And then one, drifting on the edge of space, could hear the wind up of the electric rails evenly spaced around the sargént. That was the only warning of the almost immediate shudder that rattled his suit and shot him out, plummeting like a missile towards the surface many, many thousands of kilometers below. He was a rock, although here he fell at no different pace than the thousands of comrades falling all around him. They called it an Ironstorm at the briefings. Two thousand hand-picked special forces soldiers from across the various military and bureaucratic branches speared head-first towards Scandinvan's dark grey skies.
Strategos Verán Fortosis described it like a massive multiplayer game of Russian roulette, minus the online part. Gabán slowly turned his head and looked at the man far to his left. The soldier was unarmored. He turned to look to his right, noticing that this soldier was armored. They had been told the mixture would be about fifty-fifty. High Command did not know what sort of reception to expect, and so it varied its assets. These were the men and women of the Jor'Adurin, a special operations team assembled to carry out intelligence operations in a country that few foreigners knew anything about. Sources to learn the language were scarce. Those that existed either disappeared or were found murdered, even before the declaration of war. Intelligence on their military was close to non-existent, apart from reports and evidence from the Scandinvan campaigns in Pudu. And they had no contacts waiting for their arrival at the surface. Two thousand soldiers, who would literally start from scratch at impact, shrieked into Earth's upper atmosphere, a thin cocktail of gasses burning at their edge. He wondered how the unarmored man was protected from this. It was probably a shell of some sort. Much like Gabán's own power armor, it most likely fed him a liquid of varied medications, to combat nausea, vertigo, and fear. Gabán smiled in grim determination.
He did not so much as flinch when he fell through the clouds and the green ground below accelerated toward him.
