The current consensus in Occidental intelligence circles is that one or more states, most likely one/s without existing nuclear arsenals, tested a trifecta of nuclear devices in the Sea of Nordksa. The data recovered from both Caelo Oculus 4 and OPMV-183 suggests that if the flashes were from nuclear detonations, then the yields would have been roughly one, two, and thirty kiloton-yields. Often it is conjectured that this is the result of two conventional fission and one Hydrogen/fusion bomb constructed minimally, although it is also entirely possible for all three to have been fission weapons. | The current consensus in Occidental intelligence circles is that one or more states, most likely one/s without existing nuclear arsenals, tested a trifecta of nuclear devices in the Sea of Nordksa.

Corumm had had a successful nuclear program since the early 1970s. Fhainnaeran did have a nuclear program since 1961, but the initiative was barely funded and heavily compromised by foreign intelligence services, leaving it little more than a placeholder and think tank until 1985. The Cape, at the time, and Roseney both have no know nuclear weapons or power plants; Kiravia had a nuclear program but already openly posessed nuclear weapons and staged its tests with advance warning. Varshan similarly had a nuclear stockpile but was and remains extremely secretive with its tests and research. | ||
The accusations against Fhainnaeran are backed largely by the revitalization of the Fhainnin Civil Nuclear Service and the completion of the first nuclear power plant in Fhainnaeran in 1987; for its part, the Fhainnin government insists that it has never conducted nuclear weapons tests and that its program is purely peaceful.

Fhainnaeran purchases a significant proportion of its raw uranium from the Cape, and was at the time emerging from two and a half decades of painful recovery from the [[Great War]], leading many to theorize that a nuclear program may have been pursued as a joint effort between the country and its allies, the closest of which all fall outside of the traditional Kiravian/Caphirian/Urcean/Varshani quartet. | ||
Accusations laid against the Cape are largely evidenced by a testimony from a supposed former [[Cape Defence Force]] general, claiming the development of weapons was a natural culmination of the nation's then cold war with the [[Austral Democratic People's Republic]]. Bold foreign policy moves in the years following the test, combined with the bringing to light of formerly covert ties with Fhainnaeran is commonly cited as evidence. The Cape today maintains that it has no military nuclear weapons - although a civilian nuclear program was founded in 1998 after the collapse of the ADPR. | |||
