"Hot is the sand below my feet, sharp are the bullets zipping buy, equipt that my squadron is. Freedom comes free with the price of bullets and bombs." - Excerpt from Dylan Hughes's "Frontline Astra" This is purely Fictitious, all of these events never happened IRL, and any depiction of violence is a part of roleplay. A large force of Vergasian Soldiers (Aligned with the Astran National Army) had begun to march through Astran lands, bombarding it and launching many artillery strikes. This attempt to cripple Astra was to create an opening for a democratically elected nation and a great ally to the Vergasian Republic. Freedom is not always Free, there is always a price tag to pay.
