from the High Command of the Zetheriria
Subject: Declaration of War by Vomiris Pax and the Mobilization of Our Forces
Local Year 800, Summer (Nov 8250), Round 18
To the citizens of Zetheria!
It is with the utmost gravity that we inform you of a heinous and unprovoked act by the northern Major Regime, Vomiris Pax. This hostile regime, not content with merely provoking us through diplomatic affronts, has now crossed our sovereign borders with force. This egregious violation occurred 600 kilometers from our capital, Salicthau, and is a clear declaration of war against our peaceful people.
In response to this unwarranted aggression, the High Command has swiftly mobilized our first regular formation 4th Motorized Light Infantry Brigade. This formidable force is now stationed in Salicthau, ready to defend our homeland and ensure the safety of every citizen within our borders.
Zetheria may be small, but we are strong and united. Surrounded by unfriendly forces, we stand tall, ready to protect our territory and way of life. The High Command assures you that every necessary measure will be taken to secure our lands and uphold the dignity of our great regime.
Stay vigilant, stay strong, and rest assured that Zetheria will prevail.
With unwavering resolve,
The High Command of Zetheria
WAR!

Subject: Forwarding Report from Commander Lola Menkib
Date: Local Year 801, Summer (Mar 8251), Round 20
Mister President,
I am forwarding you the latest report from Commander Lola Menkib, who is currently leading the 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade. The report provides an update on the situation following the conflict with the non-aligned forces and the current positioning of our troops against Vomiris Pax.
I wish to bring to your attention a matter that has been weighing on my mind since the appointment of Commander Lola Menkib to lead the 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade.
While her report is thorough and her competence is not in question, I must express my concerns regarding the unique dynamic she seems to have with the troops. It has been reported that when she is present among the men, they become unusually uplifted, with many going so far as to hail her [Hail Commander Strategem Applied]. I sincerely hope that this admiration is not merely due to her striking appearance and beautiful green eyes.
As you know, such intense personal loyalty can be both a strength and a potential weakness in military command. My concern lies in how this dynamic may affect her judgment and the effectiveness of our forces, particularly as we enter the more critical stages of this conflict. It is imperative that our leaders maintain a balance between inspiring their troops and ensuring that emotions do not cloud the strategic decisions that will determine the outcome of this war.
I recommend closely monitoring the situation and possibly considering a review of her command style if any adverse effects on operational efficiency become apparent.
With respect,
Blanie Highlander,
1st SHQ Commander

from Lola Menkib, Commander of 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade
to 1st SHQ Commander Blanie Highlander
Subject: Operational Report on Current Engagements and Positioning of the 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade
Date: Local Year 801, Summer (Mar 8251), Round 20
Sir,
In accordance with your directive, I am submitting an operational report regarding the movements and actions of the 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade since the declaration of war by Vomiris Pax.
After our swift mobilization in winter 801, the brigade advanced north, where we encountered a band of non-aligned forces trapped between our advancing units and the enemy's approach. Over the past months, we engaged these marauders effectively. By the beginning of summer, our 3rd Battalion, supported by 10 Sentinels, successfully pushed back the last remnants of these bandits on the left flank.
Currently, our forces have taken defensive positions. The 1st Brigade is positioned in a heavily forested area, with the left flank anchored by 10 Sentinels and the right flank reinforced by another group of 10 Sentinels and militia forces engaged against alien creatures in the northeast. The brigade is prepared and awaiting orders for any further engagement with Vomiris Pax forces, which are now in direct confrontation with our positions.
Our troops are in high spirits, bolstered by the recent victory, and stand ready to defend our borders and push back any further aggression from the north.
I will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide you with any updates as events unfold.
Lola Menkib,
Commander of 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade

Re: WAR!
Salicthaw Post newspaper - Special Report
Betrayal in the Marsh: The Blake Hamilfort Rebellion
In a shocking turn of events this summer of 802, our Federation faces an internal threat unlike any before. Blake Hamilfort, the former secretary to the President, has betrayed the trust of our people and the sanctity of our government. Once a trusted member of the inner circle, Hamilfort has led a rogue faction into rebellion, raising a force of approximately 1,500 troops.
Hamilfort and his insurgents have taken refuge in the treacherous marshes near Regium Reservoir, directly across from our great city of Salicthaw. This strategic and cowardly position threatens not only the stability of our capital but also the security of our entire Federation.
To address this act of treason, Militia forces were urgently pulled from the northern frontline, where they had been defending our borders against the aggressive Major Regime of Vomiris Pax. This unexpected redeployment of troops is a direct consequence of Hamilfort’s treachery, forcing us to divert critical resources from the defense of our homeland to quelling this insidious uprising.
The betrayal by Hamilfort is a dark stain on our history, a faith-breaking act that will not go unpunished. Our forces are now committed to restoring order and bringing those responsible for this rebellion to justice. The citizens of Salicthaw and all of Zetheria must stand united in this time of trial, as our resolve is tested both within and beyond our borders.
Stay vigilant, citizens! The Federation will prevail!

Re: WAR!
National Radio Address to the Citizens of Zetheria
Date: Winter 804 (8252-Jan), Round 25
Good evening to all tuning in across our steadfast nation. Tonight, we address our beloved citizens with crucial updates from the front lines, amid a challenging time for our federation.
Recently, our territory faced an unforeseen and massive offensive from Vomiris Pax. In a daring surge, the enemy forces broke through our defensive lines, advancing nearly 600 kilometers towards our capital, Salicthaw, coming dangerously close—within 200 kilometers of our city. This surprise attack tested our resolve but did not break our spirit.
In response to this aggression, we acted swiftly. Thanks to the peace accord reached with the Hogan League, we have successfully redeployed our militia reserves from the southern front to bolster the defenses around Salicthaw. This decisive action has significantly strengthened our position, ensuring the safety of our city and its inhabitants.
In a display of courage and strategic brilliance, our heroic 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade, supported by the formidable Sentinels, executed a critical operation. They managed to cut off the tail of the enemy's advancing vanguard, trapping approximately 1,000 of their troops in a large pocket across two hexes. Isolated from their supply lines and cut off from additional support, these enemy units are in a precarious position and unlikely to hold out for long.
This encirclement not only disrupts the enemy’s plans but also underscores the skill and unyielding resolve of our military forces. It sends a clear message to Vomiris Pax and any who would dare threaten our sovereignty: Zetheria stands strong and resolute.
As we maintain a vigilant watch over the captured enemy units, ensuring that none can escape, we also continue to secure and fortify our positions. We commend the outstanding leadership and indomitable spirit of all those serving on our front lines.
To the families awaiting news of their loved ones, your heroes are safeguarding our future with their valor. To our soldiers, we offer our deepest gratitude and unwavering support. You are the shield that protects Zetheria, and your strength ensures our continued peace.
Let us all remain united and resolute in these trying times, as we defend our homeland and uphold our cherished values of freedom and resilience. Together, we shall overcome this ordeal and emerge stronger than ever.
Thank you, and good night.

Re: WAR!
Private Letter from Milo Ventris
This letter was found on the body of a young militia solder killed in action in the woods of Popul
Date: Winter 810 (8254-Jan), Round 37
Dear Mama,
I hope this letter finds you and our family in good health amidst these trying times. As I sit here in the chilling cold of the Popul woods, my mind often drifts back to the warmth of our little home in Salicthaw. I remember the days of peace, the laughter we shared, and your comforting embrace. How I miss those simpler times when Dad would return from the factory and you'd have dinner waiting, bustling about with your endless energy. Tell my little sisters I think of them often, and I hope they are keeping up with their studies and staying out of trouble.
Mama, it’s been almost two years since we were thrust into this relentless war. Starting from that winter, when we managed to encircle and capture the enemy troops, there was a moment when we thought we had turned the tide. We even quelled the rebellion that took our dear brother from us. Our spirits were high as we marched toward Popul, bolstered by the addition of the newly raised 2nd MG Infantry Brigade. Their support gave us a renewed sense of strength and purpose. But as we drew near their capital, the scarcity of supplies and food began to gnaw at our resolve.
Our advancement turned into a desperate struggle for survival. Vomiris Pax, with their superior equipment and aviation support, struck us hard. We found ourselves outmatched and underprepared. Hungry, tired, and low on ammunition, we had no choice but to retreat to these woods, back to positions we once held with hope. We've lost so many, Mama, nearly 5000 brave souls, and the enemy presses on.
How are things back home? I’ve heard whispers that even our city isn’t spared from the hardships, with food becoming scarce and unrest growing among the people. I find myself lying awake at night, worrying about you and the girls, hoping you’re safe and have enough to eat amidst the rising turmoil.
Despite the despair that clouds our days, I hold onto the hope that this war will soon end. I dream of returning to you, to help rebuild what this conflict has taken from us. Until that day comes, know that I carry your love with me, as a shield against the chaos that surrounds us.
Take care of yourself, Mama. Embrace the girls for me, and tell them their big brother will be home soon.
With all my love,
Milo

Official Note Accompanying Intercepted Intelligence Report
From:Commander Lola Menkib, 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade
Date: Local Year 812, Winter (Sep 8254), Round 41
Location: Defensive Positions, Woods of Popul
To: Zetheria High Command
During a routine patrol, our troops successfully apprehended a Vomiris Pax spy attempting to breach our front lines. An intelligence report was recovered from the individual, which I have attached herewith for your immediate review and action.
It is critical to note that our situation at the front is becoming increasingly precarious. We are experiencing a significant shortage of supplies, particularly food, which has not been received in adequate quantities for several days now. This shortage is impacting troop morale and operational effectiveness.
I urge the High Command to address this supply issue with utmost urgency to maintain our defensive capabilities.

Attached: Intercepted Intelligence Report
From: Agent "Raven"
Date: Local Year 812, Winter (Sep 8254)
Subject: Operation Success and Strategic Update
To: Vomiris Pax Command
The continuous airstrikes on Salicthaw have been executed with precision and devastating effectiveness. Our latest operation resulted in the total destruction of the 1st SHQ, obliterating almost all of the enemy's supply reserves. The fires from the airstrikes have caused extensive damage, including the loss of key personnel such as the Commander of 1st SHQ and Leader KIA, Blaine Highlander.
Currently, many buildings in Salicthaw have sustained partial or complete structural damage. All major assets have ceased production due to a critical shortage of energy. Notably, a new Scavaging Furnace is under construction at coordinates 25,16, southeast of Salicthaw. This facility represents a significant vulnerability for the enemy.
Sabotaging this construction will likely cripple the remaining industrial capabilities of Zetheria, potentially leading to an immediate and irreversible collapse of their state. It is imperative that we capitalize on this opportunity to ensure a swift and glorious victory for Vomiris Pax.

Official Directive
from the High Command of Zetheria
Date: Local Year 821, Winter (September 8257), Round 59
Subject: Urgent Relocation and Reclamation Orders
Priority: Highest
To: Commander Lola Menkab, 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade
To: Commander Marlow Firestorm, 2nd MG Infantry Brigade
To: Militia Commanders
Commanders,
Zetheria faces unprecedented threats on multiple fronts. Following the recent military coup, the Zetheria Rebels have seized control of Salithaw and established a regime termed 'Newstate'. This drastic turn of events coincided with the aggressive advancement of Toloria Nation forces into our southwestern territories, leading to their current siege of Salithaw from the northeast.
The loss of the Supreme Headquarters during these tumultuous times has left our military units, including yours, critically deprived of logistical support and supplies. Furthermore, the tragic death of six esteemed directors of our government has left a significant void in our leadership at a moment when unity and strategic command are most crucial.
Immediate Orders:
1. Relocation and Engagement: Both the 1st Motorized Light Infantry Brigade and the 2nd MG Infantry Brigade are hereby ordered to relocate and converge on Salithaw. Your primary objective is to clear the city of rebel forces and restore legitimate government control. This mission is of the utmost strategic importance to the survival of Zetheria as a sovereign state.
2. Restoration of Order: Upon securing Salithaw, establish temporary command operations and begin immediate efforts to stabilize the city. Establish checkpoints, initiate patrols, and commence with strategic planning to repel Toloria Nation’s forces besieging our capital.
Your actions in the coming days are critical not only for reclaiming our capital but also for preserving the future of Zetheria. The successful expulsion of rebel forces and the repulsion of foreign aggressors are paramount. All hopes are now pinned on your capable leadership and the valor of your brigades to turn the tide in our favor.
We are aware of the supply challenges you face. Efforts are underway to reroute any available resources to your units. Maintain strict rationing and utilize captured resources as necessary.
The weight of our nation’s future rests upon your actions. Your resolve and strategic acumen are our last bastions against the disintegration of our state. Lead with honor, courage, and unwavering determination.
For Zetheria!

Your actions in the coming days are critical not only for reclaiming our capital but also for preserving the future of Zetheria. The successful expulsion of rebel forces and the repulsion of foreign aggressors are paramount. All hopes are now pinned on your capable leadership and the valor of your brigades to turn the tide in our favor.
We are aware of the supply challenges you face. Efforts are underway to reroute any available resources to your units. Maintain strict rationing and utilize captured resources as necessary.
The weight of our nation’s future rests upon your actions. Your resolve and strategic acumen are our last bastions against the disintegration of our state. Lead with honor, courage, and unwavering determination.
For Zetheria!
