Atomic Fist is the long awaited nuclear attack and strategic bombing exercise which will run over the next couple of months. The ships are being assembled now and next week will head off for some unspecified planetoids in the Rim Worlds. The deployment will also be close enough to the ABBO operational area to give assistance to Ensuring Passage if required.
In the first phase a mocked-up "enemy base" will be attacked using dummy weapons but there will be an exercise using live nuclear weapons at some stage. This exercise is mainly about proving the effectiveness of the Pulsar bombing force though Romes will also take part with their ground attack modules. EW defence suppression and reconnaissance exercises (using the Panther reconnaissance module) will also be carried out. The ships which will take part :
C101 North America (flag)
C103 South America
C106 Africa
C108 Europa
C110 Eurasia
D101 Panther
F112 Holocene
F141 Sulu Sea
K107 Pliny
K112 Seneca
K119 Titus
E105 Fleming
A109 Flying Boxcar
A153 Butane
