The small fleet of Cardonian ships battled sea state 4 and 5 waves as they sailed in formation towards the Southern Isles.The large waves tossed the ships around like toys. Adding to the dilemma were the horrendous storm blanketing the whole area. The weather radar from the ships have warned them of the brewing storm, but with no other choice they pushed through.Surprisingly, they are yet to encounter the dreaded Southern Pirates, the weather might be covering their advance as the surface search radars on both the large coast guard cutter and the corvette didn't spot any suspicious vessels in the surroundings.The Archesian sailors that were guiding the Cardonian fleet were astounded with the fact that the fleet is maintaining it's speed and course considering the horrendous weather....CRNS SANTANThe 95 meter corvette are managing the waves well. Designed for extended missions on the perilous Atlantic, their hulls are streamlined for such seas. However, that doesn't prevent the s
The Dylaslan ships that are stuck at port of Naldia because of the ongoing naval blockade at both sides of the approaches are going to face the greatest backstabbing their country would ever face.Because of the shady deal between the Dwarven King and the Cardonian Crown Prince, the Naldians were pressuring the Dylaslans to leave their port. It has been days ever since they seek refuge on the tiny dwarven Kingdom and they have a credible reason to kick out the Dylaslans as they would invite trouble as they were harboring the enemies of the currebt dominant country that is rampaging down south, though the past few days were quiet because of the ceasefire agreement.Pressured, the Dylaslan then left the Naldian port and tried to break through to the Empire as the Naldians "tipped" them off that Cardonians wouldn't be able to patrol such vast oceans with their measly number of ships. Seeing this as an prime opportune to finally meet his beloved, the arrogant Dylaslan Prince urged the Cap
Whilst the firsherman and researchers were busy in exploring the vast almost untouched resources of the dozens of large shoals and submerge island features. The Corvette Santan were busy in monitoring the perimeter, it has been three days ever since the fleet have casted their anchors here.And there is already a couple of close contacts on what seemed to be the dreaded pirates. Only a few of the bravest fishermen from Archesia have occasionally fished here and when they returned, and they spread various stories about the vicious pirates and mysterious creatures that are rampant in these shoals, further scaring anyone in pursuing the resource rich seas.But the said pirates were only cautiously observing the fleet from afar, and for some reason they are not taking the chance on capturing or harrassing the almost undefended fleet.It might be the impressive aura of the grey corvette which basically towers over their sailing ships comparable to 17th century galleons and frigates. Well f
EMPIRE OF SCOLUSGRAND BAYA Cardonian P-3 Orion Maritime Patrol Aircraft were keeping a close eye on the happenings on the Scolusian Capital. With the destruction of their navy and overseas armies, the Empire has become a lesser threat and priority for the Cardonians. As currently they have no assets or whatsoever to present a credible threat to Cardonia.But the ongoing battle in the Capital has been a key interest for the Cardonian military. From what they have observed from the air from the last couple of days, it is firmly believed that a separatist force were besieging the Capital itself, they were able to basically encircle the whole city, they also have quite a sizeable fleet of what seemed to be captured ships.But currently the patrol plane was also monitoring another fleet of ships north of the Capital, their allegiance isn't confirmed at the moment."We can confirm at least 65 ships, made up of protected cruisers and steamships, and they are cruising at a steady pace of 12
CRNS KING500 KM SOUTHWEST OF CARDONIAThe second ship of the Emperor Class Destroyer is at her final sea trials before her commissioning. The large ship is a Cardonian version of the famous Spanish Alvaro De Bazan Class frigates. With a whopping 48 cell Mk.41 VLS, they are the most heavily missile armed Cardonian ships that would enter service in their entire history.Armed with a variety of ESSM's and SM-2's backed by the AEGIS system they are formidable air defence ships. The ship is also armed with the latest and newest weapon systems locally developed in Cardonia.One of which is the newest version of the Lancer anti ship missile now called as ELA or Enhanced Lancer Antiship. Which is heavily upgraded to be able to reach at least 350km. It is fitted with a larger warhead, better seeker and radar and a new turbojet engines that would eliminate it's famous white contrails and give it better speed and sea skimming altitude, it is basically an Exocet Blk. 3. It is projected to comple
A caravan of merchants wondered as they see this twin large whirring blades of a Chinook heavy lift helicopter flew above them. Strapped underneath is a large green iron container."Woah that flying thing is stopping at Heldna!" a merchant shouted."I've hear that goblins attacked a number of villages far north. There are hundreds of refugees in the town, looks like those Cardonians are helping them!" replied the other merchant.The merchants continued their pace until they reach an opening in the forest path. They have a clear view of the town."Woah, what's with the tents and equipment?" a merchent exclaimed as he saw this dozens of tents were rected and being erected outside the town walls. All have a large red cross at their roofs.A number of iron beasts, both flying and not could be seen parked at the distance."Those Cardonians doesn't fail to amaze me. Not only this 'jeans' and utensils are of high quality but their help goes far and wide!" exclaimed by a merchant as he caress

The 75 meter Offshore patrol vessel were scouring the ocean for signs of the downed mysterious aircrafts, intercepted by the air force more than a week ago.They were able to recover parts and bits of the downed aircrafts and the carcass of it's passengers. And judging by how their uniforms look, they were confirmed as Dylaslans. Others were bearing the Scolusian uniform, and they were all high ranking ones. This has then caused an uproar as these were all transport planes. They might have bet their lives to reach Cardonia to fix a treaty or whatnot.The recovere bodies were then sent back to the mainland to undergo autopsy.Today, the patrol ship is accompanying a civilian salvage ship to recover what seemed to be an intact fuselage of one of the unfortunate planes. And the wreck is located on a newly discovered shoal which is only at least 30 meters deep.This was previously a site where a Russian nuclear submarine sank during the 70's. This part of the ocean were deemed to be too d
