This month's exercise is Ground Shock, NS' annual ground attack exercise and the first of the "big four" on the schedule. Due to shortages of ships (due to the light patrol fleet situation) most escorts for the bombers and transports will be Porquatian and Raegris ships. However President Sea Urchin said it would be a great opportunity for training with NS allies.
The exercise will take place in Remedian space before crossing over to an asteroid near Sanga Alpha where the final "attack" will take place. As usual this will be with live nuclear weapons. The exercise will begin next week and include the following ships:
21-101 Missileer (flagship)
16-101 Warrior (attack wing flag)
16-109 Wave
16-111 Wild Swan
35-107 Snow Leopard
35-203 Invincible
71-116 Voyager
73-102 Stratotanker
+ 3 Raegris and 4 Porquat 640 ships
