3PF deploys Yishelhafen Fleet as "potential deterrent" amidst rising Lodamese-Selucian tensions

January 5641

Himmelshtern, Narikaton & Darnussia - Kensington's last month's challenge to the Selucian tariffs still in effect ultimately saw a calm tactical response from Himmelshtern's Narik and Darnussian administration, in sharp contrast to what most usually expect from the Holy Land when it comes to challenges by non-Majatran nations insofar as the Migrant's Pass is concerned.

A 3rd Point Federation spokesperson confirmed earlier this morning that 3PF Command ordered the deployment of the 35th and 37th Flotillas of the Yishelhafen Fleet with a mandate to act as a shield in ensuring maritime trade in the region, stating:

Lodamun has long been a ratifier of the Migrant Accords. Recent military operations do not indicate any threat to Selucia's sovereignty. So I'll make it clear that we are NOT marching into war.

However, Lodamun is a member of the Empire of Ananto and Kalistan. If we detect any interference from Kaliburg, or any comments whatsoever diminishing the institutions and structures of the Migrant's Pass during these tumultuous times, we will treat it as an open challenge by the Government of Lodamun, as well, by association.

Himmelshtern continues to honour the Ananto Strait Accords - we expect Kaliburg to reciprocate the same respect to the Migrant's Pass, considering an age-long mutual understanding of securing one's regional waters.

[...] Correct, Kalistan is not a ratifier of the Migrant Accords - which is quite logical as their trade network is far from global.

When asked about Himmelshtern's stance to Selucian tariffs, he declined to comment.

Sholemberg and Tel Bira however jumped on the ongoing friction by increasing pressure on Selucia to remove the tariffs entirely, as both city states have been chronically hit by diminished trade returns.

It was also reported last week that the Octagon in Pontesi has met with the Hosheh in Amshinov, with both ordering increased alertness in the joint ASBM (Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile) installations on the mountainous borders between both states.
