ATHRETVAR EVENING NEWS...
The Republic scored its first major victory today, in its battle against Wilding pirates terrorizing the Great Central Sea!
The Republic's 1st Southern Fleet began patrolling the Waters of Magellan after the arrival of 24 new ships, including two Wisconsin class frigates from renown Wolf and Sparrow Shipwrights Limited headquartered in The Lower Realm.
Just 2 days after setting sail from Port Edison on their way to their permanent home at the Southern Naval Command Station in Port of North Magellan, ASMI, the fleet received and responded to a distress call from the RTG flagged cruise-liner Hvea-va-Hram, 175 km off the coast of Equatorial RTG.
Three hours after receiving the distress call, the fleet came upon a chaotic scene of dozens of small pirate gun-boats swarming around a fleeing Hvea-va-Hram, her deck officiers attempting to hold back the Wildings with small-arms fire.
Capt. Jona d'Arka, commanding officier of the 1st Southern Fleet, "We were fearful we might be too late to prevent the Wildings from boarding the Hvea-va-Hram, but to our great fortune, her officiers had heroically held them back, defended her until we could arrive. I immediately ordered the fleet into action."
The SSRA Tsunami, under the command of Cmdr. Jeihmsz Kuhk, steamed ahead of the fleet and fired three shots above the pirate boats. "Their boats instantly scattered," Cmdr. Kuhk said in an interview, "like roaches caught in a spot light. It was a glorious spectacle!"
