Sevalne Null Bomb Summit

The was a political summit held on Sevalne in to discuss international policies regarding null bombs and other weapons of mass destruction.
== Background ==
The conference occurred at the very beginning of the Grand Strategy 2 campaign, and involved all the major powers of Imperial Space. Emperor Leutarus of the Fialta Imperium had initially urged for the conference to take place on Fialt, but Sevalne was instead chosen as a more neutral-seeming territory. Prior to the conference, Aeldrum had begun a policy of mutually-assured destruction, publicizing their total stockpile of 300 null bombs and their capability to produce 240 more annually.
== Description ==
At the summit, the Alusia roundly rejected any calls for disarmament and continued to assert a first-strike doctrine (the Deadhand Strategy). The Shantine and Aeldrum were largely seen as aligned on a policy of mutually-assured destruction, while the Fialta called for disarmament but refused to publicize their current arms stockpiles. Sermaye's presence at the summit was seen by some as a sign of their cosmic stature, though other observers noted that Sermayen officials were notably absent from Imperial great power dialogues outside the summit.
=== Nightmare at Sevalne ===
During the summit, an incident occurred in which collective nightmares of the end of the cosmos induced terror and madness in many of the attendees and led to a mass panic. The so-called "Nightmare at Sevalne" was later revealed to have been the work of the Veiled Dominions.
== Outcome ==
The Sevalne summit led to calls for international observatory bodies and prompted serious research into methods of forensic null bomb identification. The conference was followed a year later with the Fialta Imperium's Marivan Conference on Weapons of Mass Destruction with the great powers of Celestial Space.
