NS will begin the latest edition of it's yearly strategic attack exercise next week. This is one of the big four exercises and will last over a week. The fleet involved will be the biggest NS has assembled since the Argon-Starbot War. It will culminate with a mock attack with the firing of live nuclear warheads. This is the only time NS deploys real warheads (apart from an actual war of course).
The exercises will take place in space around Liberation. Mock attacks, reconnaissance and EW drills will be held before the final live fire exercise. An asteroid two light years from Liberation will be the target of the attack. The ships involved are:
21-103 Musketeer (flag)
16-101 Warrior (attack flag)
16-104 Wasp
16-111 Wild Swan
35-305 Keel
