FIRST BATTLES
Today, the first battles between Deltarian and Trigunian armed forces have occurred. The main one has been a naval battle in the Mad Dog Ocean (OOC: I know, right?) where the Deltarian invasion flotilla has met an avant-garde squadron of the following ships: Legkiy Esminets "Smeliy" (Light Destroyer "Brave"), Legkiy Esminets "Torgovets" (Light Destroyer "Merchant"), Legkiy Esminets "Silniy" (Light Destroyer "Strong"), Legkiy Esminets "Razrushitelniy" (Light Destroyer "Destructive"), Legkiy Esminets "Bereza" (Light Destroyer "Birch"), Lineyniy Esminets "Khrabriy" (Line Destroyer "Brave"), Lineyniy Esminets "Velikiy" (Line Destroyer "Great"), Lineyniy Esminets "Vladislav" (Line Destroyer "Vladislav"), Bronepalubniy Kreiser "Rodion" (Protected Cruiser "Rodion"). Fate turned away from the Deltarians, and even though they had a larger fleet, a Deltarian landing ship and a destroyer were sunk, while a battlecruiser was damaged, and we lost only LNE "Smeliy", but the crew was saved by the flagship of the squadron BPKR "Rodion". Also, a short but victorious land battle occurred on the border between East and West Deltaria, where Trigunian tanks repelled the Deltarian infantry with ease.
