The República had 2,000 people on board with corridors that spread for kilometers, eleven decks, and too many narrow passage ways to count. It was the pride of the Aurarian Fleet. While life on board certainly wasn’t glamorous, the notoriously lazy Aurarians certainly found ways to improve the quality of life on the boat. There were multiple relaxation rooms across the ship, all based on rank, that had a sad excuse for a couch, TVs, and a wide assortment of books to read. The kitchen worked almost as hard as the rest of sailors in order to ensure that even at sea, the world-famous tastes of home were always close. At various points throughout the day, the back end of the ship turns into a makeshift gym for the sailors to burn stress…since it was not very difficult to stress out an Aurarian.

Still, despite the discomforts, the Aurarians onboard had a certain sense of honor. They were serving the Republic in its first military deployment in quite some time. Not only that, they were being deployed to quell any danger that the Justosians posed. Almost universally viewed as simple, fictional, and royalist inbreds by the Aurarians, having the opportunity to show case the Republic’s military might could not be passed up.

Admiral Castaños breathed in deep and exhaled. The smell of the sea air was refreshing. At sixty-five years of age, Francisco Castaños Urioste had a long career of service in the Aurarine Republic Navy. His age was clearly getting the better of him and retirement loomed in the distance. How he was put in charge of FOSHM, no one was quite sure. While he certainly possessed the competency to lead a fleet, it was a well-known rumor he was a friend of the bottle.

The Admiral walked closer to the edge of the bridge, looking at the windows and the flight deck of the República. Sailors were darting across the flight deck. The first objective of flight deck was launching the . The Eagle Eye’s task was to start training missions on scanning and collecting data to transmit back to the República’s bridge. The Aurarians weren’t expecting any threat, but it was a good opportunity to train. The Eagle Eye was supposed to begin scanning for the two Aurarian submarines, which went far ahead of the fleet.

The Admiral’s gaze turned upwards, so he could see the two destroyers flanking the carrier and the Frigate leading the group. He smiled to himself. It was a proud day for him, to command the fleet of a nation that was certainly not known for its military prowess.

“Admiral,” a voice called out from behind him “We’ve received new orders from Solis. The Pelasgians are preparing a fleet to enter the Hamar Sea. We are to rendezvous with the fleet as soon as we leave the Long Sea.”

The aid handed the admiral the decrypted orders from Solis. He reviewed the full details of the Pelasgian fleet.

“Well fuck,” he thought to himself “The Aurarians intended to dwarf the Justosian Fleet, but clearly the Pelasgians won’t be outdone.”

“Very good,” Admiral Castaño replied “Make the necessary arrangements then.”

Straights between the Long and Hamar Seas

The HIMPS Isaakios I Laskaris was the lead ship of the famed Laskaris Class Aircraft Carriers of the Pelasgian Naval Forces. Five thousand men and women of the Pelasgian Naval Forces filled its halls and kept its engines going as the massive vessel, akin to a floating city, made its way through the waters of the Long Sea, off of the Pelasgian Archipelago. The ship itself was accompanied by the rest of the First Fleet's surface and underwater vessels: 1 amphibious assault ship, 4 destroyers, 2 cruisers, 5 frigates, 8 corvettes, 5 submarines, 2 mine warfare vessels, and 37 patrol boats and gunboats. Aboard the amphibious assault ship were the men of the 1st Marine Division of the Imperial Marine Corps, trained professional troops equipped with the best equipment the Empire had to offer, unlike the mostly conscript-based Ground Forces soldiers. The navy was the pride of the Pelasgian Empire, and the First Fleet was the pride of the navy.

It had been but a few hours since the sailors of the First Fleet had received the order to set sail, and they were already gearing for action; the National Schism had deprived them of the chance to see combat against the Communists of Germania and Gallia, and they had not engaged the Nationalist rebels apart from some minor air sorties and beach landing operations. If shots were to be fired, it would be now. The fleet had also received the order to link up with the Aurarians. To the Pelasgians, the Aurarians were their veritable antithesis: a land-based power, secular to atheistic, socio-economically leftist and republican. But for now, they could be seen as reliable allies, if only to do away with their common problem: the hostile Justosian incursion into the waters that both countries saw as their own back yard. Jointly protecting the Long Sea had, after all, had been the main goal of the Avgiros-Ferreiro Accords.

The first fleet's advance was led by its five submarines as well as aerial reconnaissance assets. The main force concerned itself with protecting the carrier and amphibious assault ship, as well as evaluating any threats, seeking to identify, monitor and potentially engage any hostile Justosian ships it might come across, or defend the fleet from any Justosian attack.

Megas Doux Theodoros Eressiotis

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Pelasgian Naval Detachment at Tephanon had already deployed near the Pillars of Nearchus, consisting of 1 cruiser, 1 frigate, 2 corvettes, 1 submarine, 1 mine warfare vessel, and 6 patrol boats and gunboats, as well as the 190th Marine Battalion. This was largely a token force meant to hold out until larger reinforcements arrived, but given the relatively small size of the Justosian forces, it could inflict serious damage if need be, or simply act as an anvil against which the Justosians could be hammered by the larger main Pelasgo-Aurarian force.

The naval recon aircraft of the Pelasgian Naval Forces, primarily Type 697 Maritime Patrol Aircraft ( ) planes, circled over the Hamar Sea on a regular patrol pattern. Normally, their tasks were uneventful and inane. But on this day, they, alongside all Pelasgian strategic assets in the region had received instructions through the . "Titan Three" had already been heard; many expected "Titan Four" to sound at any moment. The Pelasgian Type 778 Hephaistos ( ) long-range bombers, armed with Type 108 "Exokoitos" Anti-Shipping Missiles ( ), begun approaching the region, ready to support the joint fleet's advance as needed.

Upon disconnect & blocking this bold Comms Ensign received three cheers from a raucous & highly amused crowd on the command deck.

"Full speed home. Keep counter measures live." Commander Carvalho ordered fighting his chuckling.
