The first public reports from the still-only-recently appointed fleet admirals of the Empire were made today in the Hall of Servitors via encrypted video and audio channels. After two months of little word from the distant front, the peoples of the polity turned up for the meeting with hungry ears.
Fleet Admiral Eshmunazar, charged with the embargo operations within the Serachicha Sea, reported that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Naval Battle Groups, their detachments, and the allied forces of the Federal Republic of Anaaxes have successfully quarantined and confiscated twenty-two ships bound for Rossian waters from a number of nations attempting to defy the policies of the allied war effort. The admiral put the approximate amount of confiscated contraband at almost 600,000 gross tonnes. They noted that continued cooperation from reconnaissance elements of the Toonelan airship fleets remains vital to the efficiency of the campaign, but that the lack of resistance from the intercepted mercantile captains “spoke to the lack of support enjoyed by the Rossian aggressors abroad”. During questioning by members of the Ascended, they noted their disappointment with the nearby Kingdom of An-Astral, who has “acted especially timidly against enemies to the entire Social Liberal Union within the Serachicha Sea over the last two months”.
Following their testimony, Air Fleet Admiral Bodo delivered their own report. After extensive maneuvering, travel, and low altitude coordination from the 3rd Airship Group, the Stratospheric Fleet inflicted the first causalities of the war via coaxial plasma railguns, destroying one Rossian cruiser and permanently damaging at least some, if not all, of the electronic systems abroad three others via x-ray dispersal from the primary barrage. A near hit on the reported sole Rossian carrier in the area of attack is likely, but unconfirmed. Exact number of causalities among the Rossians from the sunk cruiser is also unknown. The relative success of such a little used and costly weapon was applauded by the Servitors.
Unfortunately, Bodo’s victorious opening was belied by the sorrowful news that two of the low-altitude airships detached from the 3rd Airship Group, who bravely advanced within range of Rossian air patrols to aid in the coordination necessary for the attack’s successful operation, were caught out of position and destroyed. All crew then-aboard the Iomnium and Oyat are believed to have gone down with the ships. A stony silence descended upon those present within the Hall with this news of the conflict’s first Toonelan causalities. After a brief discussion regarding the locations within the provinces where the steles of the deceased would be erected, the mood was immensely lightened, and the Air Fleet Admiral noted the possibility of further attacks of greater magnitude if the Rossian blockade was not soon dispersed.
The two temporal commanders noted in their final, jointly delivered address, that the successful “end to the Rossian naval menace, enforcement of the embargo, and safety of the Social Liberal Union’s many peoples from foreign aggression” would be their top priority, and that the war effort had so far been a resounding endorsement of the Servitors’ decided upon policies.
The Sufet is expected to continue to head the diplomatic effort to force the Rossians to the peace table to prevent further unneeded causalities on either side of the conflict.
