## Chronology

### New World War Arc

At the end of the Battle of Folk Strait, after the Gra Valkan aircraft attacked and sunk many World Union ships, the super-dreadnought *Grade Atlastar* of the Gra Valkas Empire’s Imperial Judgment Force had employed all of its guns to sink the Japan Coast Guard patrol ship *Shikishima*. The battleship *Grade Atlastar* came forward with the battleship *La Kasami* in the southern strait of Cartalpas. Fleet Commander Brendas and Capatin Minilar was shocked and couldn't believe that Japan’s warship was felled in a single attack. Vice Captain Sitras explained to him according to the Mu intelligence department, Japan's warships had unparalleled anti-air capabilities, but in conclusion, the Gra Valkan giant battleship was too strong, and the Gra Valkas Empire also decimated Leifor with only a single battleship.

The 15.5 cm 60 caliber triple turret on the *Grade Atlastar* shot the shell at the battleship *La Kasami*. It rocked the center of the ship violently in the explosion. Brendas, Minilar, and Sitras heard from the damage report that the navigation failed, so the battleship *La Kasami* couldn't slow down. They had no idea where the damage was, but they couldn’t steer or decelerate the *La Kasami*, and it wandered off course. The battleship *La Kasami* charged toward land and ended up grounded on a reef.

In the capital Otaheit, Sitras participated in the emergency at the navy headquarters debriefing that followed to testify as an actual combat participant. Aside from those leaders, other attendees at the meeting included the heads of the foreign affairs department and Technical Officer Myrus. After hearing that the Mu’s Marin air force were completely useless in battle and nearly annihilated by the Gra Valkan forces, all the military officers were sad and disappointed. The military was in distress; the survival of the entire nation was at stake. Furthermore, they received the report that Japan’s warship was sunk by that very same battleship *Grade Atlastar*. The murmuring grew even louder in the meeting room.

Vice Captain Sitras, who was observing aboard the battleship *La Kasami*, stepped up to the podium and spoke to them about the state of the battlefield. The Gra Valkas' superior aircraft shot Mu's Marin fighters, Milishial’s fighters, Nigrat's wyvern lords, and Emor’s wind dragons down easily and quickly. The allied fleet first took heavy damage from their aerial assault, then it was annihilated, by the giant battleship that appeared out of nowhere from the island past the strait. However, as previous reports stated, Japan’s warship *Shikishima* put its immense anti-air capabilities on full display. That single ship shot down countless Gra Valkan planes. It was destroyed by the Gra Valkan giant battleship; they did open fire, but it seemed no real damage was inflicted. The Gra Valkas was too strong without any casualties; none of the World Union could put a scratch on their fleet. All the military leaders and meeting attendees felt the weight of despair press down on them after hearing from Sitras, who had witnessed the deaths of the majority of participants in the battle.

Technical Officer Myrus asked Sitras regarding the Japanese ship as a battleship that participated in the previous operation. Everyone else in the meeting seemed confused at the question. Sitras had no doubts about it, but Myrus asked him to describe the Japanese ship in the last battle. Sitras stated that it was a white-painted long-length ship with small caliber guns and other machine guns as its main armaments. Myrus identified the Japan Coast Guard patrol ship as a law enforcement ship, not a navy ship. The military leaders and meeting attendees were deathly silent at that. Then he gave them much explanation about Japan’s weapons of war, including the computers, radar, fire control systems, and anti-ship guided missiles in the escort ships. They needed to keep all this knowledge in mind while determining their next course of action. They had decided to rely on their friendship and cooperation with Japan to resist the Gra Valkas Empire.
