1677

X

XIV

  • 20. A terrorist attack is carried out in Sacred Square, Relacul, by an unknown terrorist organisation. Caradian police force is called in to deal with the threat. The first major report for the Caradian newspaper.
  • 23. Caradian leaders issue statements censuring LONSS and declaring support for victims. Living saint Òdalho dè la Corvèo writes a letter urging King-Saint Godrîc XI to attack LONSS militarily.

    • CIC commissions CAAT for an icebreaker merchant vessel.
  • 2.
    • Skirmish occurs between Caradian Legions and LONSS. Zero losses on either side, owing to the appearance of the Legion's CAAT V-9 IFVs, which caused the LONSS soldiers to flee.

II

  • 6. The referendum in Trofegadh passes, officially changing the city's name to Chivalho, and changing the Gcealick March to the Apuèstas March

  • 17. The Sacred Guard conduct a demonstration of the missiles developed for Proiect: Ceruri Arzătoare at Porto Vormouna, first demonstrating the range and destructive power of the missiles, and then providing a "realistic demonstration" in which missiles were fired from nascent missile launchers in Argint Citadel to the Salòdican coast and destroyed a derelict Trăsnet Class Destroyer that had been condemned to be scrapped.
