Military: Skirmish
The frigate "Castalia", which had the task of patrolling the triple border (between the Empire, the Alfan Confederation and the Hansa Principalities) was destroyed and all 26 sailors on board died.
At the moment neither the reason for the demolition nor who did it is known, but it is logical to hypothesize some imperial activity; in fact the main task of these flying ships is precisely to spot threats coming from the Empire and warn the President and the Federal Council in time.
The wreckage of the ship was sighted by the corvette "Cheetah", which sailed from Amersbury in the afternoon, when the "castalia" did not return to port. There was no sign of the attackers, and a message sent to the Allied command in Nipleh reported no sightings.
