Operation Long Patrol 2118
Long Patrol is an exercise in deep space operations. As with last year's first edition four ships headed off in August (deployment LP2118A) and rendezvoused with two other NS ships (deployment LP2118B) outside of UNP space, thought to be near the Solar Empire. A number of combat exercises and logistical scenarios will be carried out before the ships make their long trip back (due to return home to time for Christmas!)
The ships involved are:
021-106 Yeoman (flagship LP2118A and overall command ship)
037-108 Sanger Alpha
051-102 Centurion
073-119 Heptane

Operation Long Patrol 2117
This month's NS exercise is another new one being run for the first time. Long Patrol 2117 will train for deep space operations. Unlike other operations which are set up and run for a week at the moment Long Patrol (due to the nature of the exercise) began being set up in August! A small group of ships (detachment LP2117A) headed off to unclaimed space near the 7 Sa Sao (the exact location is secret). There they conducted surveys and reconnaissance.
As part of the exercise they will be resupplied and rendezvous with a second group of ships which set out a few weeks later (detachment LP2117B) and also test ultra long range communications. After about a week of exercises the ships will then all return in a single fleet.
The ships involved:
Detachment LP2117A
023-201 Anubis (flag)
043-113 Sea of Fertility
073-116 Methane
Detachment LP2117B
036-102 Midas (flag)
041-209 Fierce
076-101 Zephyr
