Nuclear weapons state: Difference between revisions

Norograd began its own nuclear programme during the [[Auroran Imperial War]] after recovering and reverse engineering Morstaybishlian weapons. A small thermonuclear warhead designated 'N-1' was developed, and was deployed in a ground-penetrating package on the controversial [[Kevatuul]] satellite. This became the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare on Aurora when several [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalrian]] military bases and the city of RivendaleRibenstadt were targeted. Post war, the satellite was deorbited and no subsequent weapons were put into space, and Norograd was made to pay reparations for the damage. This, however, did not end Norogradian nuclear weapons development, and at least fifteen underground and two above ground tests were conducted from 1975-1996, with a stockpile maintained for the purpose of self-defence
