Kerisian Defensive Alliance (KEDA)

The Trigunian Federation sends General-Lieutenant Pavel Kolomeitsev to be General of the Kerisian Ground Forces

Being a native Trigunian, I am aware of the strategies and tactics required during winter warfare and have used them in practice - let us hope that I can share my knowledge with my colleagues from other KEDA members.

We would like to inform KEDA that New Endralon has send its 5th fleet to deatroy its illegaly placed mines which danger the international naval transport. KEDA nations are not obligated to support the operation as stipulated in article 7.

Article VII: Declaration of War
If one of the contrating parties wish to declare war on another nation or organize a military operation against no-governative subject they should inform the other nations with reasonable advance but the contracting parties should be not obligated to assist the other.

KEDA has finaised the plans for the naval exercise, to be held in the Green Sea, located between Hutori and Trigunia. The exercises, if everything goes to plan, will be held in Juli 4295. Some nations have rules that their parliament has to approve the usage of their armed forces. They get the time needed to pass a bill in parliament.

KEDA exercise held in the Green Sea

A Dolgavan Multipurpose Frigate fires
Green Sea - The naval exercise of KEDA, called the 'Green Hell', has finished after a week of exercises. The KEDA naval main command is somewhat positive. The main problem was inter-operability.
The Green Hell consists of both ashore and at-sea activities. This year operations of the exercise include anti-submarine warfare, familiarization with inter-operability between maritime forces, search and rescue and seizure missions and many other drills.
One of the main goals of the exercise is “submarine-hunting”. This is done by a wargame. Two teams, one submarine and one carrier group fight eachother. If the submarine can make a picture of the Trigunian aircraftcarrier the submarines win. If the carrier group can spot the submarines on their radar they win. The final score: 3-2 for the submarines.

A New Endrolian Shark Class Submarine
Another drill was search and rescue operations. These drills were finished with a great result, all drills were a succes. The New Endrolian CH-330 Puma naval helicopter was peforming perfectly and they were supported by Egelion and Dolgavian frigates with room for helicopters.

The CH-330 Puma
The seizure drills were also succesfull. The marines entered the ship from a helicopter and in a second drill from a boarding ship.

The bad part about the exercises were the inter-operability technics. The software of the multiple navies has not been designed to cooperate with the other navies. A descriptive situation was that a Dolgavian ship found an incoming missle on their radar. They actually had to phone the Trigunian ships to warn them of the missile. Something has to be done for this problem. (OOC: This problem is only known to KEDA members and maybe other intelligence services)

The Trigunian TKVM-Yablonev firing
Last but not least were the firing drills. Not anticipated in the first plans, this part was added later when New Endralon announced that they would also send the 4th Strike Group to the exercises. The drill, executed on the last day, consisted out of all ships coordinating in shooting cruise missiles to an uninhabited Island in the north of the Green Sea. The island 'went up in flames' according to the KEDA official statement. Although being the main attraction of the exercises, the firing drills are mostly seen as a show of power, and not as a learning exercise.

Honorable KEDA members,

The KEDA command has investigated the strong and weak points of KEDA. In our report we conclude that KEDA's strength is slowly growing, with its members all showings its dedication to the succes of this supranational organisation by hosting trainings and increasing the importance of Defence by for example upping spending. The KEDA command encourages these developements. In the eyes of the KEDA command this increase in cooperation should grow even more. The KEDA command believes that they have found the perfect project to improve cooperation even further.

One of the main advantages of KEDA above other military alliances is that all its members are only bordered by eachother and the sea. However, after reviewing the equipment of the memberstates, we have concluded that only New Endralon has coastal defence systems, and those systems are heavily outdated. If all nations cooperated, we could create a strong coastal defence system.

The system the KEDA command proposed is a three layered system. The KEDA command has a long and a medium missile launcher and a short range coastal artillery system in mind.


The CDS-1 (Coastal Defence System) 130-mm self-propelled coastal defense artillery system is designed to engage surface ships and prevent over-the-beach landings of enemy forces.
It can also engage small-size fast moving naval targets, such as small landing ships, fast attack craft and air-cushioned vessels at a range of up to 20 km. It can also engage ground targets.


The CDS-2 is meant to provide cover to territorial waters, naval bases, other coastal facilities and infrastructure under favorable and adverse weather conditions in daytime and at night. The CDS-2 includes up to two mobile command control centers, up to four self-propelled launching vehicles carrying subsonic anti-ship missiles and up to four transport and refueling vehicles.
The system is capable of hitting targets located up to 120 kilometers (74.5 miles) away, launching a total of 32 missiles with a maximum interval of up to three seconds. It can be combat ready in less than 10 minutes.


The CDS-3 is meant to engage surface ships including carrier battle groups, convoys and landing craft amid counter fire and electronic warfare, as well as land-based targets. The system is equipped with a supersonic anti-ship cruise missile with a maximum range of 300 kilometers (more than 186 miles). The CDS-3 launcher is operated by a crew of five people, including commander, operator and driver. It has a short deployment time and can be combat ready in less than five minutes. The missiles could be launched with an interval of two to five seconds. The coastal defense missile system is capable of remaining on active standby for up to five days. It can be located up to 200 kilometers (more than 124 miles) from the coast.


The CDS-3 has to be combined with a over-the-horizon radar or a AWACS helicopter. The main mission of the AWACS-CDS is a long-range detection airborne and naval threats. This helicopter can track targets over much larger horizon than ship's or land based radars. All four landing gear units are retractable, making space for the movement of the surveillance radar's antenna, which is a large rectangular planar array that rests flat under the fuselage when inactive. The radar of the AWACS-CDS airborne early warning helicopter has a 360° coverage and can spot aircraft-size target from 150 km range. Surface ships should be spotted from 100 - 200 km range. The radar can track 30-40 targets simultaneously. The helicopter has a datalink to transfer the target tracking data to the command post. The AWACS-CDS is fitted with TPS and digital terrain mapping systems.

If the KEDA command receives positive responses we can talk about where the systems can be produced and how many every nation should get. WE can already inform the members that 17% of the parts for these systems have to be produced in Trigunia, as they have the neccesary equipment to manufacture these parts. The Confederation of New Endralon, Kizenia and Kuzaki has ofered the industrial area (owned by Kizarm) in Syldavia to produce other parts.

OOC: If anybody has better names for the equipment, feel free to suggest them, I had no inspiration.

Honorable KEDA members,

New Endralon is developing a new fighter, and we thought that some members might want to be involved in the developement and production. For our allies we have some extra specifications. If any nation is interested in co-developing the fighter just message us.

Length overall: 14.75 m
Height overall: 4.95 m
Wing Span: 8.7 m
Wing area, gross: 26 m²
Wing sweep at quarter chord: 35 deg.
Empty weight: 6800 kg
Maximum take-off weight: 10000 kg

The republic of Egelion is pleased to participate in the project. We look forward to contacting KEDA to inform us how we can participate
