The Union Building, Cape Hope
Lucius Breggan sat at his table before several military advisors along with Ronald Tusk. He rubbed his grey temples in an effort to soothe the migraine. After a few minutes of self-imposed meditation, he spoke, “Proceed with economic sanctions and issue a military warning. I’m sick of them constantly warmongering, first our satellites and next our neighbors to the south are being bombed?”
Tusk spoke up, “We will issue fighters to be on standby to intercept the satellite if need be.”
Lucius looked incredulous, “Wait, how?”
Ronald looked over to one member of the military council, Admiral Yvonne Plessis. The former hotshot fighter pilot who got a fast track to admiralty added, “Our RAe Tomcats can be equiped with ASATs, anti-satellite missiles. All we have to do is have a deployed fighter fuel up and zoom-climb to the appropriate altitude. From then it can launch and the weaponized station can be taken down.”
Breggan gave the nod of approval, still massaging his temples. He spoke up once again, “Don’t issue the order until we receive notice that they refuse to cease their operations. I’ll get the Department of Foreign Affairs to issue a warning to cease all operations and get economic sanctions enacted.”

To the Tripartite State,
The Northern Gondwana Union has officially declared economic sanctions on the Tripartite State. An economic and military blockade is planned if all military operations against Maxtopia and Bigtopia are not ceased. The aforementioned nations have not committed any of the offenses noted in the Declaration of War Against Bigtopia and Maxtopia. As such the Union’s government has found these statements to be absolute fabrications.
The Union is disgusted by the jingoistic attitude present, and will seek any and all methods to curb such. The following demands are to be met within the next 48 hours or escalation will be the appropriate step.
1.) The cessation of all hostile operations against Maxtopia and Bigtopia.
2.) The immediate recall of all military units, including paramilitary units, from Maxtopia and Bigtopia.
3.) The immediate disarmament and dismantlement of The Eternal Wrath, a weaponized space station currently used by the Tripartite State.
4.) The immediate resignation of General Zetta, who will be called upon for a lifetime ban from any political and military office in the Tripartite State.
If these demands are not met, the appropriate measures will be taken to ensure compliance.
The Northern Gondwana Union’s Department of Foreign Affairs
