Leaked internal memos within the Imperial Frost Government revealed that several bureaucrats saw their government in the unenviable position of appearing to replace the BU as tensions continue to rise against Izaakia due to Izaakia's continued provocations against the Reformed Blockade Zone with their continued demand to enter an active mine field. The Notes have also revealed that the Empire plans to recommission their Yamato Class Battleships, previously decommissioned in the 1990s after Imperial doctrine shifted towards a submersible and carrier based doctrine, to bolster the number of surface vessels projected to intercept the Manta Fleet if Izaakia goes through with their provocation.
