For Immediate Release

Statement Regarding Execution Of WarrantsThe National Security Bureau, in conjunction with the Defense Intelligence Directorate, has executed a series of warrants targeting individuals who have acted against the interests of the Crown, the Rokkenjiman State, and its allies. These developments have resulted in the following actions undertaken with the full sanction of Chrysanthemum Throne:
Grand Marshal Guren Ichinose has been relieved of his duties pending trial for actions undertaken at Queen Adriana Military Base which delayed a response to suspected Borlander activities in the waters off Somerset, then Rishiri Island. Taking direct actions to obscure official records Ichinose willingly caused equipment at the base to be rendered temporarily disabled. These actions aided an enemy of the First Empire and her allies, for which Guren Ichiose and an additional four officers stationed at QAMB shall stand trial on the charges of treason. These actions shall be further prosecuted under the Terrorist Enterprises Act.
Lucinda Hadley, former High Commander of the Anauša, faces an international warrant for her arrest for the charges of treason, providing aid and comfort to an enemy of the First Empire and her allies, impersonating the Empress of Rokkenjima over a communications device, and for crimes against the Imperial Crown and People. Ms. Hadley knowingly engaged with the Borland Separatists, utilizing her surveillance mission in a plot to deal with the Borlanders. In exchange for the safe return of the Crown Princes Ms. Hadley offered a series of promises to the Separatists; this brings Ms. Hadley in violation of the Terrorist Enterprises Act.
Effective immediately Grand Marshal Henry Cole is hereby recognized as Acting Grand Marshal of the Imperial Rokkenjiman Armed Forces.
In Pyrettania, seven members of the Imperial Guard were brought under military custody for charges ranging from their association with Mr. Ofdensen, collusion with Ms. Hadley as she operated without mandate and off mission. The sum result of the actions of these individuals placed the security of the First Empire at risk, threatened Rokkenjiman diplomatic and foreign interests, and denied the opportunity to remove a high profile target from the field. Justice shall be thorough and forceful as these investigations and cases continue.
Information and findings shall be presented to our allies as this process continues under a policy of full and complete disclosure. In cases where crimes may be applicable on foreign soil full access will be granted to those individuals as necessary.
