Imperial Statement from the New Pacific Order: Declaration of War
Dear citizens of the world, if you have not seen or heard about the actions of today, then let us inform you. The Order's protectorate, St Abbaddon, has been attacked by foreign powers. Their hostility towards us has been well documented for months prior to this attack. We have deployed several times in defense of our protectorate because of concerns they would target this region, and they have. We are now in a piling stand-off to save St Abbaddon from those that would otherwise destroy it or use it for their own selfish, political gains at the expense of native members in the region. The Order will not stand idly and allow our protectorate to be disgraced. All parties involved in this attack will be wary of our fortitude. We will not relent or surrender, even if they win the battle of today.
The Order would like to thank all of our comrades, particularly our regional allies, who have responded quickly to this threat. Without the help of our comrades and a solid team spirit, the Order would not be able to field such a defense of St Abbaddon.
The attack from the side of the Black Hawks comes somewhat unsurprisingly, despite vocal claims to stay out of each other's affairs. It is very well documented that the Black Hawks’ hostilities as well as their keen interest to interfere in the affairs of the Pacific have continued, even after the Pacific ceased its updates against the organization.
The Order hereby recognizes a state of war between itself and The Black Hawks and is evaluating its diplomatic stance towards other regions at this time. Henceforth, the New Pacific Order will actively conduct military operations against TBH and its interests. However, the Order is not a defender organization; raider organizations that refuses to cooperate with TBH will not be opposed by us in their R/D operations.

Signed,
The Emperor and The Senate of the Pacific
