Cahtice: The Deltarian Imperial Strike Group, better known as the Nemec-carrier Strike Group, consisting of the DNS Mrazek supercarrier and a variety of support ships, has been send on its first deployment since its refit today. This first deployment will last a total of one year and is focussed on, "Showing Deltaria is there to respond to anyy threat to its allies, partners or otherwise violent actions by any group or power against another." The deployment is mostly seen as a show of force, letting terra know Deltaria now has extended power projection capabilities. Besides a show of force the deployment is also meant as the first real test for the strike group since the refit of the DNS Mrazek. The year long deployment will feature a tour throughout most of Terra with a tight schedule. In the first week the strike group hopes to arrive at the Czar Dusan base in Malivia after which it will start its travel to Vascania where it will hopefully meet up with Vascanian naval ships and perform small scale exercises near its coast. Once completed it will turn back and arrive in Narikaton and Darnussia, where it will ressuply and refuel in Narikaton. The daring part of the journey comes after that as the strike group will travel north, going through international waters and just around Dorvik before turning back south and heading for Lodamun where it will once again fully ressupply and refuel. It will continue its remaining schedule after that, visiting Kalistan and, if Kalistan decided to join, once again hold a Ananto Strait exercise before moving further down and slowly return back home through the Aldegar Canal.

It is one of the longest and possibly most provocative deployments of the Strike Group since its inception some 50 years ago. Since its refit the carrier has received upgrades and other new features as well as the first few R-33C multirole fighters in its hangars. All these additions including the new Premysl-class destroyers in its composition all need to be further tested and used in real situations, partially explaining the long deployment. According to Admiral Roland Horák, highest ranking admiral in the Deltarian Navy, the deployment, "marks a new chapter for the Deltarian navy. With a slowly recovering economy and new plans on the drawing board Deltaria is ready to assume its global responsibility. We want to show our allies that we are there and this deployment is the excellent way to do so."

The Imperial Strike Group has already set course for Malivia and is expected to arrive there within one to two weeks. Deltaria has reportedly already notified its TASN allies of the deployment, ensuring that it is not seen as a unprovoked show of force.
