Jelbic power for Zardugal
5 December 5567, Wiel, Kingdom of Wrnuke, Empire of the Jelbic Peoples


Plehok II near the capital city of Wiel is one of several smaller nuclear reactors that form an integral part of Wrnuke's energy network.

Since the Summer of 5553 the nations of Wrnuke and Zardugal enjoy a sense of cooperation and friendship, as during that tumultuous summer a treaty was signed between the two nations. In the many years since not much has happened between the two neighbours except for active trade relations, the labour investment fund helping Zardugal's economy recover, and the usual diplomatic niceties. Now however an energy crisis has erupted in Wrnuke's southern neighbour. Private companies in Wrnuke were already in talks with Zardugal to alleviate their troubles and to keep the lights on, but the government took over these talks rather quickly calling for a unified response to Zardugal's struggle. Prefect Krlmékez personally contacted Director Diarmaido and a quick deal was struck to supply electricity. Powerplants across Wrnuke were informed to increase production. One of these powerplants is Plehok II, a small nuclear powerplant near Wiel. Smaller size nuclear powerplants are scattered across the Kingdom, being preferred to larger models. 

One of Wrnuke's largest electricity suppliers, Nrjlogad OF, was immediately informed after the phone call and contracted to connect Wrnuke's power grid to Zardugal's existing infrastructure. The electrical giant received special support from Wrnuke's Land Forces in setting up large cables across the border of the two nations. Agzé Tnes-Pndr, a project manager of Nrjlogad OF, was ecstatic about the operation: "What we have done here has never been done before, to link two electrical grids with such haste, we could not have done it without the army helping." Prefect Grzkai Krlmékez personally visited the operation in full field uniform, even involving himself when helicopters carried the large cables onto a special metal frame. The Prefect made clear to the press at the site that this was a necessity. "The only good Majatra is a Majatra that stands united, that helps each other, our Augustan friends are in trouble, so we help. This is not a question of political opinion but of human decency." The two parties have agreed that the government of Zardugal will pay back any incurred costs at a later date and that fifty percent of those costs will be paid by Wiel.
