OOC - for LISA peeps only please, would normally vignette this but there's some stuff coming in that may make it worth RPing this.

Princess Astrid Base, Great Northern Ocean
It was a big day for the staff at Princess Astrid Base, the commanding officer of the base Major Ezri Skarsgård (https://independentorder.net/index.php?topic=49.msg3125#msg3125), was up early and going through making sure the final preparations were ready, the briefing room was set, the Achkaerinese vessels assigned for the exercise sat either in port or just off shore, the pride of the Achkaerinese military sat there, the interesting note was that there was no aircraft carrier assigned - due to them both being deployed across Mundus, one in the Kyne and the other around the Lakhzovia situation but that was why the top brass had selected this island and nearby water for the exercise because the island had of course a couple of runways for the fighter jets positioned there.
"How are we doing?" Ezri asked stepping into the command centre
"Achkaerinese ships and planes on station, we're picking everyone else up at long range and closing." the officer watching the radar said
"VIP's?" Ezri asked
"Due any minute." the officer said
"Ok let's start positioning the targets for the first drill." Ezri said "Point Foxtrot."
"Yes ma'am." another officer said
Ezri smiled, it was going to be a long few days but she was confident her officers were up to the task.

"Unlike my friend Rear Admiral Hamilton I see no need for such a noisy entrance," Commodore Rowe said as he turned his attention from a conversation with a liaison. "I would like to thank our Achkaerinese hosts and am certain our exercises will be successful, while as always the First Empire is more than eager to draw closer to its friends and allies. We've a full compliment of Pyrenan Mead aboard the Enterprise that will be ready to flow at the close of our exercises."
