Hybretian Antiballistic Missile Network

The αντιβαλιστικό πυραυλικό αμυντικό δίκτυο της αυτοκρατορικής ένωσης (Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense Network of the Imperial Union) is a system of state of the art missile interceptor systems constructed starting in 337KOR, with an estimate total completion date of 339 or 340KOR.
== Background ==
Following the completion of Kordynian, Areian, and Gretian nuclear weapons in the 320s, non-nuclear states became nervous by the refusal of large states to follow Anti-Nuclear agreements. One of the more diplomatically insular nations of the New World, the Imperial Union was threatened by the Templari'i Republic, and did not expect nor want another nation to deploy nuclear weapons in their borders. In an effort to not be left stragecially vulnerable and diplomatically handicapped, the Government ordered that a countermeasure be devised.
In 333, secret approval was given to the project, codename Operation Blazing Skies. The 337 union with Kolangrad also proved fortuitous, and work was accelerated on the project, which was nearing completion. In mid 337, the Union Corps of Engineers had begun rapid construction of defenses on the Kolanski peninsula near Ziesvosk in response to Templari'i patrols crossing the border. Later in the year, the bases recevied their first shipment of Frouros II Anti-Ballistic Missiles; similar programs were installed in existant military infrastructure around the core of the Union. Calibration and equipment tests soon followed.
The Hybretian Government expects to continue full funding of the program until a succesful defense network is established across the Union. Prime Minister Drakon Garathis claimed that the network was not only for Union, but for global defense, and intended to use the system to prevent nuclear war between other states from succeeding. It is expected that once fully completed, the system will cover all Hybretian Cities out of Makriaudia, as well as New Templaria, Ironbridge, Aedria, New Brixia, all Kygonese cities west of Inaria, Jada, and Erain.
