Space Austrian - Trattorian War

Several subsequent incidents attract the attention of the international community. The deployment of Peach Virus biological weapons on planet Arhus, a colony of their ally the Imperial Magikstrate, during the Galacian invasion Operation Schadenfreude attracted international condemnation at the Allied Nations. The Space Austrians subsequently fired an ancient planet-busting laser at the major financial institutions of the BrikVerse, including Pernault Financial Group and Goldman Sucks on Trattoria, Medici Bank on Venice, and Iron Bank of Nimrod on Austere (Forum Battle: Breaking the Bank). Although Trattoria and the other empires managed to harmlessly deflect away the deadly beams, the provocation nonetheless provoked international outrage.

The Chief Ambassador of Trattoria, Dr. Xianghao, issued a stern rebuke at the AN General Assembly, encouraging Space Austria to normalize relations and cease its aggressions, or face war otherwise. Emperor Ato emphasized the need for a "show of force" to ensure the fair treatment of Space Austria's peach population. Nonetheless, his proposal for a political marriage was poorly received by Ambassador Xianghao, since Trattorians lack the concept of romance and marriage.
