Rome attack force joins Ground Shock

Three Rome corvettes fitted with the ground attack module have joined the Ground Shock deployment ready for the next operation which will be an "opposed" landing with the Romes providing fire support. The Pulsar cruiser attached to the deployment will also simulate a missile attack on the "defenders" which will be provided by Dino forces stationed on Loeuss.

The three Romes are K101 Cicero, K106 Brutus and K112 Seneca. Following their part in the deployment they will return to GHQ and resume patrol duties. The patrol force is slightly stretched at the moment which is why the Romes have only just joined the deployment (and will leave it by the end of next week) indeed Pentekonter-M X902 Xerxes (albiet not fitted for minesweeping duties yet, it has been used by the Departmental Fleet) has just taken up a patrol circuit to fill a gap.
