"Diplomacy is the key to freedom, for all of humanity, and the strong words of diplomacy should always come before bombs and missiles." Prefect Trmékez has condemned Egelion's eager entry into the humanitarian crisis and civil war in the Republic of New Verham. The government has stated that diplomatic efforts were abandoned far too quickly by the regime in Altéa. Prefect Trmékez: "Even before humanitarian aid could reach the shores of New Verham the general staff of Egelion's military had already primed their targets for an all-out offensive." The two nations are formally allied with the Two Lions Pact, though the last decade has seen little cooperation between Wrnuke and Egelion. It is rumoured that Wiel is increasingly critical of Egelion's imperialistic attitude towards international diplomacy, with some even stating that the more radical factions within the cabinet consider Egelion a direct threat to the Kingdom and the greater Jelbosphere.

With an emergency order the I. Vlótzgrsho, or 1st Fleet, was deployed to the region. Several sections of the emergency order have been deemed classified, suggesting a certain payload or further orders for separate naval detachments like Wrnuke's anti-aircraft carrier wolfpacks, so-called "shadow fleets" of nuclear submarines, to stalk and observe all foreign fleets near the Jelbic fleet. The fleet is being followed by two civilian ships that are filled with crisis aid materiel according to Wiel. "We have offered full aid to several factions in this civil conflict, think of things like bandages, saline, general medical supplies, specific medications that are hard to get in warzones, food, water, blankets, sleeping bags, anything that is needed for civilians in warzones." Delivery of the aid will pose a challenge for Wrnuke's navy when they arrive, with heavy fighting and Egelion bombing the nation. The general staff in Wiel is considering issuing a no fly order over New Verham in coordination with other international parties if the delivery poses too challenging for the fleet alone. Last but not least, all refugees from New Verham with Jelbic heritage are offered full integration and a guaranteed refugee status if they apply in Wrnuke, other inhabitants of New Verham will be given visas and priority treatment until the civil war ends.
