Kalistani Major History

Lourenne's Unprovoked Attack
Six Militia Light Armored Attack Craft feared destroyed on the High Seas
Dahriel, Ananto District


A Kalistani LAFA ship under the command of Gunnery Sergeant Mica Argos is utterly destroyed by Lourennese Naval Gunfire.  All hands aboard were believed dead.

Lourenne has finally crossed the line.  Sitting a vessel of war just off the coast of Ananto, firmly within Kalistani Waters, was provocation enough.  As patrol vehicles approached the missile Frigate, the Lourennese Navy opened fire, destroying the Kalistani patrol boats.  At this point there are no known survivors of the wanton attacks on Kalistani militia, but the conflict with Lourenne has taken another step towards war.

Rear Admiral Gina Antonia of the Kalistan Regular Navy gave the following statement:  "Six LAFA Patrol craft were destroyed in this skirmish with the Lourenne Navy.  We have no word on survivors, but we are sure that at least 30 members of the Militia have perished in the battle.  In addition, a Lourenne Naval Frigate, a gun frigate known as the Orayee, have been destroyed by Militia activity.  We also have no information on casualties on the other side, but the ship itself was critically wounded before breaking up and slipping beneath the waves.  In response to this incursion, The Government of Kalistan has issued an immediate embargo on all Lourennese goods, shipping and transit in and around Kalistan, and all Lourennese shipping is to be attacked when it is discovered in Kalistani National Waters."

LAFA fleets in the Ananto Straits have increased to 96 and retaliation is expected.
