The Five Second Flashpoint

The Five Second Flashpoint, also known as the Azerothian-Ammerinian Flashpoint was an event that took place on May 27th, 15 NE (2074 AWE). It resulted in extreme tensions between The Empire of Ammerinia and The Azerothian Union. It happened over X-931 in the Wolf-4518 system.

Expansionist Agenda
Both the Azerothian Union and Ammerinia were seeking to expand their borders. Each side identified that the remote planet of X-931 was packed with valuable resources. Each side was also seeking to expand into the new NS Multiverse.

Initial Contact
On the 27th of May, 15 NE (2074 AWE), The A.U.S.S. Darrowshire, an Azerothian Heavy Cruiser, arrived at the system a while before the rest of the expeditionary fleet. No more than one minute later, the Ammerinian Paladin-Class Battlecruiser, ISV Gungnir, came out of jumpspace over X-931. The Gungnir sent a transmission to the Darrowshire, claiming that they were intruding on Imperial territory, and demanding they withdraw from the system, or they would be fired upon. After both ships raised their shields and weapons, the Darrowshire responded by hailing the Gungnir and demanding that they withdraw from the system, and claimed that X-931 was in fact part of Azerothian space.

Shortly after the Gungnir notified the Imperial Government, which in turn notified the GIN. The Gungnir then veered to launch drop pods onto the surface of X-931. The Azerothians also sent a transmission to the Crossroads, and notified the CDC.
