The Hogsweat-Scandavian War

Note that all dates given use the Scandavian standard dating system

Jan 1, 2782

Hogsweat launches 12 Tomahawk cruise missiles against the Scandavian city of Galicia. Early estimates state that around 20,000 are dead and twice that many are wounded.

Twelve hours later Empress Lien Larsen addresses the region and the world. In her speech she warns that those responsible, "will face the consequences" and she also warned the crew of the submarine that launched the missiles that, "In abstentia, you shall be tried by the High Court of the Imperium for the mass murder of Imperial citizens and crimes of war... They will die by my hand and the blade of the Sword of the Imperium."

Jan 2, 2782

Foreign aid is sent and begins arriving at the capital of the Galicia Isles province.

Hogsweat begins mobilization for the defense of its homeland, the effort is marred by confusion and poor logistics.

The Imperium launches satellite-based kinetic weapons against Hogsweat's primary air bases and two Doujin class superdreadnaughts in harbor. Both Doujin class vessels, HNV Apple Pie and HNV Fried Bacon, are sunk after extensive vaporization of their decks and puncturing of the hull below water.

Jan 3, 2782

The Great Scarlet Fleet of the Imperial Navy sets sail under the command of Fleet Admiral Xavier de Soto. Under the Admiral's flag is the fixed-wing superdreadnaught Tartarus (flagship), 12 Morrigan class carriers, 2 Leviathan class superdreadnaughts, 10 Fenrir class dreadnaughts, 12 Ryuho class guided missile battlecruisers, 48 Alexandria class attack cruisers, 36 Gaea class guided missile destroyer, 36 Sabre class hunter-killer destroyers, 36 Revenge class escort destroyers, 36 Clan Grant class fleet replenishers, and 12 Upholder class fleet attack submarines.

Jan 4, 2782

Hogsweat kills 200,000 of its convicts, blaming Scandavian States. Official declaration of war follows. Hogsweatian HiKom issues the Defense of the Motherland! Act, allowing them to requisition anything ande everything they need to wage war with Scandavian States.

Jan 6, 2782

Great Scarlet Fleet sets up blockade and begins bombardment of Dorsalgrad, it is expected that no static defenses or bases will remain operational once bombardment is complete in three days time.

Blatant attempts at arming the Hogsweatians with superior weapons are ignored by the Imperium for the time being. This policy might or might not change when the war begins in earnest.

Jan 7, 2782

The first air battle of the war is a small, but decisive victory for the Imperium. 12 F-107C naval fighters attack and destroy three Hogsweatian Mirage F-1 land-based fighters. One F-107 is lost while closing with the sole Mirage that survived the original launch. That the missiles managed to achieve a lock at all is judged to be a freak ocurrance, there appeared to be no failure in either the radar cancellation system or other passive stealth measures.

Operation: Icarus begins. 5 wings of B-106 Warcrow medium bombers take off from West Galicia Isle at 4 PM local time, when they arrive at their launch point roughly two hours later it is 9PM Dorsalgrad time. Several thousand ASM-2C Fasthawk Air-Luanched Anti-Radiation Cruise Missiles are fired towards Dorsalgrad, with the goal of completely and utterly destroying Hogsweatian air defenses in the area. The attack destroys 16/20 Dorsalgrad Radar System Stations and GPS Relay stations.

Operation: Icarus continues with SSM-2B ALCMs launched from B-101 Bombardier heavy bombers. A total of 1,200 missiles are launched against every major industrial or military target in Dorsalgrad, with the goal of obliterating anything that could potentially prolong resistance in Dorsalgrad. The raid is successful, destroying most if not all of the weapon factories and the Hogsweatian Military Base.
