'''Nalkei Airlines Flight 655''' was a scheduled [[Nalkei Airlines]] flight from [[Sjédal]] to [[Alikan]] on 8 January, 1994. However, due to navigational errors made by the aircraft's system, the aircraft continued heading northwest towards the restricted airspace of [[People's Glorious Revolutionary State of Sateroc|Sateroc]]. As a result of this, the aircraft was shot down by a Saterocian [[Embasse-86]] as part of an interception by the country's Air Force as the airliner was flying over the town of [[Bembleaux]]. The aircraft was treated as an intruding spy plane sent to Saterocian airspace by Vœyetska, and was immediately shot down by an air-to-air missile without any prior warning shots whatsoever. The aircraft made a list-ditch effort to turn south, sending the plane crashing into the [[Vasilin Sea]] just off of Sateroc's coast. All 238 passengers and 13 crew members were immediately killed in the crash, adding up to a total of 251 fatalities. Sateroc would find the aircraft's wreckage nearly a week later, choosing to salvage parts of the plane. However, this information was kept covert by the Saterocian government and only partially revealed to the world in 2021 after the [[2019 Saterocian Revolution]] resulted in the collapse of the Puoc regime. | '''Nalkei Airlines Flight 655''' was a scheduled [[Nalkei Airlines]] flight from [[Sjédal]] to [[Alikan]] on 8 January, 1994.

Nalkei Airlines Flight 655 was a scheduled Nalkei Airlines flight from Sjédal to Alikan on 8 January, 1994. However, due to navigational errors made by the aircraft's system, the aircraft continued heading northwest towards the restricted airspace of Sateroc. As a result of this, the aircraft (a Toring 797) was shot down by a Saterocian Embasse-86 as part of an interception by the country's Air Force as the airliner was flying over the town of Bembleaux. The aircraft was treated as an intruding spy plane sent to Saterocian airspace by Vœyetska, and was immediately shot down by an air-to-air missile without any prior warning shots whatsoever. The aircraft made a list-ditch effort to turn south, sending the plane crashing into the Vasilin Sea just off of Sateroc's coast. All 238 passengers and 13 crew members were immediately killed in the crash, adding up to a total of 251 fatalities. Sateroc would find the aircraft's wreckage nearly a week later, choosing to salvage parts of the plane. However, this information was kept covert by the Saterocian government and only partially revealed to the world in 2021 after the 2019 Saterocian Revolution resulted in the collapse of the Puoc regime.
At first, the Saterocian government denied any knowledge of the incident, however just two days later stated that they had shot down the plane as a defensive measure in response to what it called a deliberate attempt by Vœeyetska to provoke armed conflict between both nations. However, despite these accusations, most of the world chose to condemn Sateroc, while Sateroc put their military on a state of hightened readiness for two months following the incident. The Saterocian Revolutionary Armed Forces suppressed and concealed any evidence of the incident, before finally releasing parts of it to the public in 2021.
As a result of the incident, a number of nations made the decision to restrict travel within Sateroc's airspace, and many of these nations also suspended flights from Sateroc to their respective countries.
