The Duke of York is courting Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria
The brother of his Majesty Edward VIII has been seen several times with the eldest child of King Rupprecht of Bavaria the Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria. A few days ago, he confirmed that he was courting her. The potential for marriage however is as of the current moment dead as she is a catholic who are barred from marrying into the Royal Family she is also the daughter of the current Jacobite claim to the English, Scottish, and Irish thrones. His majesty has been heard that he would be willing to modify the lines of succession with Parliament's permission as following the revelation that he was born sterile in 1954 his heir has been his brother the Duke of York. King Rupprecht has refused to comment besides supporting whatever his daughter chooses to do. The courtship has risen the issues of the Jacobites once again with several small protests in the highlands demanding apologies from the brutal crackdowns following the revolts. Some worry that if the marriage goes ahead that Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria may ascend to the Bavarian throne if her brothers die but that is very unlikely due to the number of brothers she has and the large branches of the House of Wittelsbach.

Soldiers the final day has come the final confrontation the Goa'uld have entered their twilight through their own actions, but it is time for the sun to truly set upon them. Anubis is the last hope for a unified Goa'uld, and we will crush them for the glory of humanity. The Goa'uld have dug in onto every crevice of this world and we will scour them with fire, faith, and fury. We are soldiers of the gods and we shall crush the usurpers who take on the form of the Goa'uld. We will march to Valhalla's hall with our heads and axes held high if we scour the Goa'uld from this world. Forward Sons of the North! FORWARDS TO VALLHALLA! ALT FOR NORGE!

With the success of Madagascar any vague semblance of power that the French still had in Africa collapsed save for in the last French outpost of Djibouti which had been reduced to a charnel house with the French flag flying over the rotted corpses of the natives. The first state to take advantage of the collapse was the Kingdom of the Sahara with massive swathes of the French held Sahara joining the Kingdom. The French Congo was seized by the People's Republic of the Congo stretching from the Belgian Congo to German held Kamerun which promptly singed an alliance with the Argentine People's Republic. French West Africa collapsed into division with the largest states consisting of a few tribes or villages. But this soon changed as states crystalised and established their dominion within a few weeks large swathes of Africa went from under the European jackboot to free. Ethiopia, Morocco, and the Kingdom of the Sahara once seen as anomalies were now merely established states among children. The Pan-African banner was flown from every rooftop in the African-American parts of the United States while in Africa the local flags were flown with abandon. The euphoria died down as it became clear that many of these states were under the control of warlords so the idea of democracy, liberty, and freedom sweeping Africa was not entirely true.

The Battle of Nova Britannia or as it is better known the Götterdämmerung was the final battle of the Goa'uld War and it lived up to the grand expectations. The Goa'uld had gathered forty Ha'taks around the planet while on the planet itself with estimates of Jaffa numbers ranging from around two hundred thousand Jaffa to a million. The Jaffa and Anubis had fortified every centimetre to the height of their ability. The allies had forty-five warships with the successful break through at Wellington on the 10th of October allowing the majority of the ships there to be reassigned to Nova Britannia. There was twenty divisions gathered around for the battle. The allies knew that the Jaffa had the advantage of numbers which is why Kaiser Wilhelm III, Tsar Nicholas III, Emperor Edward VIII, President Michael Harrington, the Xuantong Emperor, the Showa Emperor, and Emperor Pedro IV all gave their assent to the use of the products of the Noctis Labyrinth.
The Noctis Labyrinth had been the first human outpost on Mars and the British had decided to use the area for chemical weapons testing as well as system defences. In the depths of the caverns that made up the region scientists from across all of humanity developed and unleashed weapons that if their allies had discovered they would have lost. But they were successful chemical weapons that could kill Goa'uld and Jaffa symbiotes without killing the host were developed alongside nerve gas that melted the lungs of those they afflicted. All of this was placed in the heart of the HIMIS Vanguard so that if the leaders of the allied humans decided to authorize that they could be unleashed unto the Goa'uld. This came during the initial bombardment of the Götterdämmerung.
The skies were set aflame from the initial bombardment with clouds breaking apart from the heat of the plasma. The strikes reduced every city to blood-soaked rubble and then came the gas. Billowing clouds of concoctions that had never been seen before covered the planet. Jaffa drowned in their own blood as their symbiotes died in pain. Several Goa'uld died immediately as they bodies were covered in blisters and blood poured from their mouths. Bunkers that the defenders had dug became death traps with Jaffa trapped in them as gas filles up the room. When the bombardment ended after three days and the gas began to disperse the allies stormed the planet.
Wherever they landed they found broken corpses of Jaffa and Goa'uld looking more like modern art projects then humans. As they advanced they found more and more living Jaffa who fought back against the allies with their full force. But most were not able to fight back well and they were crushed by the allies easily. As the allies pushed towards the lair of Anubis in the depths of the mountains the Goa'uld Empire died. Ba'al, Osiris and Isis, and several other Goa'uld tore themselves free from the collapsing regime of Anubis. None of them even laid claim to the title of Goa'uld Emperor or Supreme System Lord. Anubis's control was relegated to a few caves as the allies pushed in towards him. Then the Alterans intervened three ascended Alterans struck searing Anubis from existence in both planes. When IIET-1 burst down the door they found the seared corpse of Anubis with the words 'Justice has been served' carved onto his chest in Asgard, Alteran, and Sindarin. The Götterdämmerung had ended as had both the Goa'uld Empire and the Goa'uld War.
