  - 29th September 1986 It's been quite too long that they've taken our land. The communists have taken not only our land - but also our fighting spirit. As if this wasn't enough, they have now waged war against TARDBI - and without doubt - Us. Death to the communists. We were born in this land, they shalln't take what was ours, and now, fight for what remains, to arms, brothers, and may the communists be repelled! This war will most likely mean the end of our prosperous nation - and for a good cause we fight. If we are to die, we are to die with honour  and dignity . Down with the communists, may we emerge victorious with the torch of our fighting spirits held high, lit bright!

  - 24th September 1986 Several border skirmishes have been recorded, and even one tape leaked. Casualties count range anywhere from 500 soldiers to 2000. So far, by images and tapes, it has been ROS forces that are largely successful.  A story told by a survivor of Battle Of Bridge No. 2 reads: "I got separated from my squad as I was running across the small stream that separated one part from the other, I eventually got to the road, there were around 2 T-80U tanks already there, though I was the first infantryman to charge into battle. I saw a squad, well... er-, a group would be more fitting. The group was standing dead ahead, in the middle of the road, moving here and there. It was unsettling when we started to take shots, around 4 of us, I killed the entire group, like 4 or 5 people. They probably weren't even 20 yet, let alone qualified for military service. As a matter of fact, I'd like to say they probably haven't gone through any type of training... After, I c...

- 19th September 1986   The military is entering a defensive state, both strengthening its defences and loosening itself to prevent another war. Civil war has been avoided, and may war never strike us, for now. Until then, we must focus on the people, not the military. Those loyal to us may receive several bonuses. The military is receiving the best equipment we have.  Stay safe, may God's Grace be with you. Trust in your leader, government and trust in God, for we will bring the ROS to another era. An era of prosperity.

  - 20th September 1986 We have retreated to this position.

  IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL CITIZENS OF THE ROS - 17th September 1986 A major civil war between communist forces and the SRA has broken out. Reportedly 2/3 of the entire SRA, SRAC and SRN is loyal to the communists. The entire SRAF is under communist control. Keep calm, loyal citizen, we are evacuating and there is nothing to fear. This war, waged by the communists will end when they are eradicated and full government rule is re-established. May luck be with you all today, stay safe, take all necessary precautions to ensure your safety. SRABG soldiers will take you in and issue your family a temporary shelter area before proper homes are established. May your family never be affected, we will be victorious and retake our glorious motherland, no matter the cost.

  - 19th July 1986 As of 19th July 1986, the SRA has officially released a string of statements regarding the immediate reclassification of any information regarding military technology. "A few suspicions arose regarding the actual ability of TARDBI. Currently, no other nation except us and the KKK empire have ever declassified any sensitive information." Vurkham Lupid, Secretary of the Ministry of Information.  "As such, it is confirmed by Lenis and I," Vurkham added. "-that every single declassified piece of military information will be immediately re-classified, especially ones declassified for TARDBI viewing." "In maybe 1 or 2 weeks, information will go through a filtration process, and information deemed safe enough by the Ministry of Information's staff will be declassified for public viewing. Some will be TARDBI-exclusive."

- 12th February 1986 Official announcement by General Lenis Mantrod, General Secretary of the SRAC "We are pleased to announce the delivery of 12 T-81, alternatively known as Object 551M tanks today," Lenis said, in a meeting on the 10th. The T-81 is a modernisation of the T-80UM as part of a modernisation programme of the entire SRA force after the Church-TARDBI conflict. The T-81 has better protection for the crew, increased lethality to all types of ground-based threats and increased mobility whilst keeping costs and weight low, improving logistics. "The APFR (Army Programme For Re-armament) alongside the joint NWMMP (Next Generation Military Modernisation Programme) with the KKK Empire plans to strengthen our ties between two countries, alongside the fact that most of the technical information on all SRA technology is declassified to TARDBI members to view, it too means that TARDBI's security will be greatly improved," Lenis added.
