Operation Dralfus

Operation Dralfus is a suspected, if not unofficially confirmed plan by the Southern Republic to seize the Isle of Discovery from the Upper Colonies, vassals of the Casorian Empire. During a session of the Imperial Senate the emissary from the Republic left his briefcase in one of the meeting rooms, whether this was a grand scheme or not, it was found and it's contents examined.
Within the briefcase were standard diplomatic papers but also a short document that outlayed a potential power-grab. Brought before the Emperor and his cabinet of Ministers on the 15th of Ruay, 3451, it has put immense pressure upon the Empire in chosing it's next agressive move.
The Operation Briefing included the following:
#Negotiations to be opened between the Southern Republic and the Kingdoms of Lower and Upper Shanaxtra, Shanaei and Belaxtra.
#At a pre-determined time, Belaxtra and Shanaei would deliver an ultimatum to the Empire to withdraw from the continent, which would almost definitely be refused.
#Shanaei and Belaxtra would launch a joint invasion of the Upper Colonies and seize New Lockvalar, awaiting the Legions retribution.
#The Southern Armies would already be at sea, land upon the Island of Discovery and seize the provincial capital. Then, without hesitation sailing onto Isaevi to aid Shanaxtra.
#With the legion defeated a humiliating peace could be negotiated between a victorious new Kingdom of Shanaxtra, the Southern Republic and the shattered Casorian Empire removing their presence in the West.
The Demand of Decolonization had been issued to the Empire earlier the same year, so it can only be assumed this plan is both genuine and not on it's third stage. In anticipation the Imperial Legion has dispatched a detachment to the Isle of Discovery, however this in itself is a risk, if the document was intended to be found, then it could be an attempt to lure or split the legion.
Unlike other scandalous documents, the knowledge that the Emperor has been informed of it has been kept from the Republic, and they have not been confronted on it. This is an attempt to keep events moving as intended.
