President of the ACU General Assembly: "People of the American Continental Union and the New World. Yesterday, February 20, 1957 of the Gregorian calendar, 20 Eldoravios of 1627 of the central calendar, a date that will be remembered as a day of infamy, cowardice and barbarity. The ocean liner, SS Olympic, was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval forces from the Empire of Parpaldia. The Olympic was making its peaceful journey to the Kingdom of Awan, when without any provocation, a naval force from Parpaldia attacked the Olympic, many of the passengers managed to escape, but not all. Those who remained behind, along with the rest of the Olympic crew, were captured and executed in cold blood by the Parpaldians. I regret to inform everyone that more than 350 lives were taken in cold blood."
