Cryria and Weapons of Mass Destruction: Difference between revisions

The outbreak of the Volscine Civil War badly upended a security environment on which Cryria had relied on for decades. Fears surrounding the future fate of the Volscine nuclear arsenal and potential rogue actors that might arise from the rubble in West Novaris led the Kingdom to renew its own nuclear ambitions. Dubbed as the Ademar's Gate project, the new program began two weeks after the collapse of Volscina and effectively ended the Latency Doctrine. The imperatives behind the project further escalated when the [[Charlottesborg Mutiny]] resulted in the Kingdom transferring formal recognition from the Volscine Confederation to the Volscine Empire while intervening in Charlottesborg itself, a decision which created serious concerns of potential future retaliation by various Volscine factions or a further Cryrian entanglement in the civil war.

 

 

The Crisis was concluded with the signing of the Solstice Accords. The published versions of the Accords made no reference to the nuclear program, which itself was never publicly acknowledged by the Cryrian government. However, the Accords did see the transfer of nuclear reactors and technology to Älemsi Negdel, and it is thought that other restrictions and inspection regimes were implemented on the weapons program to satisfy Älemsi worries. It is unlikely that these restrictions were intended to wholly stop the development of Cryrian nuclear weapons however, as the Fara Incident took place roughly three months later without protests from the Älemsi government.
