NS has begun the first of it's four large exercises for the year, Ground Shock is dedicated to amphibious operations and ground operations support. The exercises will last for two weeks and take place on Proxima Centauri 7. The exercises were originally planned to be on Saeou on the other side of the UNP but due to the Dino-Terrasaur situation VP (Ops) Torus decided it would not be prudent to send a sizeable chunk of the NS fleet so far away at this time.
