On April 19 1918 an outbreak of the plague broke out in the town of Gravenhague.

On the second day of the outbreak, despite best efforts from the local government and Mayor Bloombaschurger all matters of emergency services broke down and the infection further spread - infecting 1/4 of the population. On the third day of the infection, the plague spread to nearly 3/4 of the population. On the same day a nearby Imperium ship docked into the port, upon discovering the city in chaos, it mobilized the marines garrisoned on board to assist any remnants of the Gravenhague militia to contain the outbreak. However, after suffering major casualties, the Imperium marines retreated back to the ship and evacuated any survivors including Mayor Bloombaschurger and his cabinet. During the evening hours of the fifth date the crew of the ship plotted a course to Altdorf.

On the fourth date, It is believed that Gravenhague to been completely lost to the plague. Libertatem authorities issued a warning to all ships on that date to not travel near the region and to not let anyone on board their ships. Five days after the outbreak, an Redanian airship battlegroup under orders of EurCorp bombarded the city with high-yield "ender" missiles.
