Operation Mass Field 2119

The third edition of this exercise that promotes co-operation between NS and it's allies has begun. However there were some difficulties in finding allies who wanted to join Mass Field this year. Both the Raegris and the Remedians declined the invite citing a lack of available ships. Starbot will take part in the exercise alongside Molab.

The exercises which will include mock combats and patrols will take place in Starbotian space. The NS and Starbotian ships involved will be:

23-101 Olympus Mons (flag)
37-108 Sanger Alpha
36-103 Magnificent
43-110 Andaman Sea
41-201 Freedom
41-215S Fortune (Starbotian)
73-130S Starbotian Spirit (Starbot)

Operation Mass Field 2117

The latest exercise is Operation Mass Field, one of the new exercises making its debut this year. The aim of Mass Field is to practice co-operation between New Sparta and its allies. An NS fleet and ships from the Remedians, Raegris, Porquat 640 and Free Eritran States will take part in a number of mock combats and training scenarios over the next 2 weeks. The NS ships involved will be:

036-101 Mulberry (flag)
041-107 Oligocene
051-107 Crescent
073-108 Octane

Specific details of the training scenarios has not been revealed but as one of the NS ships involved (SS Oligocene) is one of the minesweeper directors and some of the FES ships coming are Pentekonter-M minesweepers it is a fair guess that minesweeping will be one of them!
