The Zian 2nd Fleet with carrier and troop transporting escort mobilized off the Vulkarian coast on Tuesday, prompting theory that a heavy escalation of military force was about to be undertaken in response to the terror attack on the Presidential Mansion. There is buzz surrounding possible ground forces engaging targets in the developed area around Vulkar and Amstelveen, with some reports going as far to say that a full-blown invasion was being prepared. President Bishop assured reporters Tuesday that there was “no ongoing invasion or any immediate plans for ground intervention,” though, “events to disrupt the actions of rebel forces are going to be taken in accordance to the decisions of (Bishop’s) board and military officials.”
2nd Fleet, commanded by Admiral Percy Tavoka aboard the ZMS Harodia, has seen action in Gladysynthia, and patrolled off of the combat zone during the Lauchenoiria Civil War in mid-2018. The ZMS Upham, operating with two destroyers, linked up with the fleet to provide carrier support in the inevitable event of escalated air strikes.
