Operation New Start is the first exercise of the year and the first proper deployment of NS warships since the war. The exercise was ordered by Viceroy Caratore to demonstrate the NS fleet has now recovered from it's war losses and is fully operational and integrated into the Mutre Bee Organisation. As the exercises will take place near Starbot, some analysts think the real purpose of the exercises is to intimidate the Starbotians.
The exercises will include some mock combats, drone operations and special forces operations. The exercises will begin next week and last around ten days. The ships involved are:
36-102 Midas (flag)
35-501 Lynx
35-203 Invincible
51-112 Citadel
41-102 Silurian
52-104 Nimrod
165-001 Arcadia
161-103 Insciber
73-107 Tristar
