3rd Regular Fleet's KRS 882 Frigate decommissions in Lourenne, 100% of ship compliment requests political asylum

Breaking:

As of 7am August 1, 5399, the Kalistani Regular Force has in essence been demobilized. Here's what The Republic knows so far.

1. Both the Kalistani 2nd and 3rd Regular Fleets, conducting operations in the Lourenne Passage between Lourenne and Ananto, have sailed to Le Port D'Artaine, Valois, Lourenne and have decommissioned enmasse. Hundreds of commissioned officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted sailors, represented by the Naval Officers, Naval NCO and Naval Non-Rate Unions, have requested political asylum in Lourenne. While the de-enlisting and resigning of the enlisted and officers is not illegal, due to the change in terms of the contract by act of the National Assembly, the legality of the striking of the fleets' colors is unclear.

2. More than 200,000 enlisted and NCOs in all three branches of the Kalistani Regular Force due to the change in terms of the Contract by the National Assembly nullifying all service contracts. At press time, more than 87% of all members have opted to no re-enlist, while 10% have opted to re-enlist under new terms. 3% remain undecided about de-enlistment at this time.

3. More than 2000 regular commissioned officers have resigned their commission rather than serving under the Conservative Government. 300 officers, primarily with the 1st Fleet in Port Swedes Vrassa remain with the service.

4. Socialist Rifle Associations are forming across Ananto, Nevaras, Odufaray, and Suldanor. There is some talk in the Ananto District Government about the SRA units serving as a District auxiliary.

5. Six regular Bases have been shuttered. The primary bases which remain operational are radar stations and missile batteries in Vrassa and Ananto, which monitor the Anantonese Ocean.

Members of the Socialist Party of Kalistan are in communication with former counterparts in Lourenne as the crisis deepens in Kalistan.

More to follow as developments deepen.
