Usually HCS exercises are shrouded in secret, especially before the event but because of the tense intergalactic situation the HCS have given details of a large amphibious exercise to be held next week around and on the planet of Calantratia (incidentally one of the closest planets in the CSE to Oscar)...
A spokesclone said a force consisting of a Tiamon carrier and 4 Intruder LPDs would deploy with an escort of 12 Cosmos and Molentic Tuul. An armoured brigade and Red Lizard units would be landed on the planet. The HCS said they are going to test the new ground mode of the Cosmos' supercannon which they say gives a real ground attack function to the cruiser though DDS sources say the cannon is not as optimised as Z5g for ground attack and HCS attack sensors are not as advanced as the SAS suite the DDS use.
