Let it be known that the empty shell of an organization known as the United League of Nations has defied repeated calls for their dissolution from not only the Freekish Empire, but our coalition allies in the Brimstone Pact as well. The ULN is a representation of what currently plagues our planet; it is an organization that promotes a false ideology and caters to the lowest common denominators across the globe who seek to assert power and influence that they quite simply do not have. It is nothing more than a cancer, a malignant tumor that must be forcibly removed before it is allowed to further fester and deteriorate its host.
Under the guise of their false ideology, the leadership have lured weak and incompetent rulers from all corners of the world into their sphere of influence, attempting to exploit them through sheer force of numbers in order to front their insidious agenda, and the Freekish Empire will not tolerate these actions any longer, and nor shall our coalition.
As of this afternoon, I have ordered an unspecified number of Freekish submarines to begin actively targeting all commercial and civilian maritime traffic, in order to send a message of just how serious we are.
Your ships will not be safe on the high seas, and we will sink any vessel that are encountered. Any survivors that are encountered will either be executed on the spot, or shipped off to Deus, so that they may be put to good use. Or perhaps they will find use in the Halls of the Dead, Automagfreek's most infamous torture facility. These attacks will continue until the leadership of the ULN comes to the table and accepts the demands of the Brimstone Pact coalition, and should the ULN remain defiant, we will increase the size, scale, and location of our strikes accordingly.
There will be no further instruction given, for the ULN has been warned.

Within hours of Lord Dreadfire's proclamation, a sizable and classified number of Freekish 'Supremacy' class stealth submarines began actively patrolling international waters in key shipping lanes looking for any vessel belonging to a ULN member-state, be it commercial or civilian in nature. The orders were quite simple: engage and destroy upon confirmation of the target, and no quarter was to be given. Additional submarines would also be sent deeper into international waters near New Korongo, but would remain far enough away so as to not encroach on their territorial waters....just yet.
It did not take long for the first potential targets of the Brimstone Pact to appear on scopes, civilian ships heading out of the waters of Finium. After having confirmed the nature of the vessels in question, firing solutions were prepared and the crews on board the 'Supremacy' class subs prepared to fire the first shots in what would be a violent war. They were prepared to make Lord Dreadfire's voice heard as they armed their torpedo tubes and locked onto their prey, anxiously awaiting the final order to engage.....
