The annual disaster relief exercise began on Monday, this year it is based on Mars and Terra and involves recovery from massive loss of computer systems after an EMP attack. NS and UNP personnel will practice in a low-tech scenario co-ordinating the delivery of relief supplies and the evacuation of "injured" civilians.
An abandoned mining settlement on Mars will be used for most of the exercises. It will be subjected to a real EMP attack using an NS pulse weapon (fired by the deployment flagship SS Weasel, a Warrior 16A bomber). NS and UNP personnel will then have to see how they cope without most of their tech toys! The ships involved will be:
016-110 Weasel (flagship)
051-102 Centurion
047-101 Fighting Falcon
047-202 Penguin
063-103 South East Asia
073-112 Butane
075-109 Group
