A ship of the Akarian Trade Fleet's 1st Drug Division was bombed by the Sorewa Liberation Uprising (SLU) on 28-3 10 PC, bringing the Kingdom of Akaria into conflict with the SLU.
Background
The Sorewa Liberation Uprising (SLU) was formed on 5-1 9 PC to oppose the government of the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic (CKER) with the goal of ending the oppresion of the Sorewa people that had been governmentaly supported since the establishment of the CKER in and to establish their own state seperate from the CKER. The CKER became aware of the SLU on 1-2 9 PC. President of the Collective Kel-Elemi Republic, Robert Grayson ordered a crack down on people advocating for Sorewa right, inadvertently strengthening the SLU's numbers.
On 22-7 9 PC, the Akarian Trade Fleet (ATF) established the 1st Drug Division on 22-7 9 PC to purchase Zaahr in Kel-Elemi and ship it to Tietero for sale. The majority of the companies supplying Zaahr to the ATF were either state-owned or owned by Robert Grayson and his political allies providing the government with a new stream of revenue, making it a target for the SLU.
Bombing
Early in the morning of 28-3 10 PC, a bomb on the hull of a 1st Drug Division ship exploded. The explosion caused a fire which was spread via the vast amounts of kersones that was stored onboard the ship. Of the 30 people aboard the ship only 4 were rescued. The ship's captain Bort Oken was among the dead.
