(From contemporary accounts)

WAR

May 15, 2008 C.E.

Ships of the Kingdom of Bosworth have opened fire on a taskforce commanded by the Duke of Brookshire. Bosworth had inserted itself into a territorial dispute between Shireoth and New Brittania, allegedly in a peacekeeping role. The dispute was being settled peacefully when the Bosworthians opened fire, slightly damaging two Shirirthain vessels and killing several sailors.

The Duke's force returned fire with devastating effect.

This action proves that Bosworth had no interest in preserving peace, but only in provoking conflict.

Lesser Zjandaria & Yardistan Take The War to the Enemy

May 15, 2008 C.E.

The first blow against the enemy homeland came when Lesser Zjandaria launched a short-range ballistic missle attack, causing widespread devistation and panic among the enemy.

The YMS Kaiser Mors V, having providentially put into port in Corrigible several days previous, had been on patrol when hostilites broke out.

On the news of the enemy attack on the Brookshire Navy, the huge "Iowa"-compatible battleship commenced a punishing bombardment of the enemy with guns and cruise missles.
