        Ajakon Mobilization and War

  After the attack of the Joint Graveyard and NBF fleet on the Seventh Task Force, inflicting quite an amount of damage and driving them out to sea, the Ajako Confederation recognized a state of war with these nations. The European Fleet has been dispatched to reinforce the Seventh Task Force. In addition to this, the repairs to the Nicaraguan Canal are estimated to take two weeks. Other than that, the Armed Forces of Ajako have been mobilized to answer the threats to the Nicaraguan SGP. The Nicaraguan Fleet in the Atlantic has also formed up with the Fukushima Cruiser Strike Group that had fled toward Bluefields instead of the Open Seas. Nicaraguan Citizens have been warned to stay in their homes, as Graveyard guerillas have been reported in Nicaraguan jungles. Nicaraguan Counter Insurgency units have been dispatched to the jungles where they were last reported with the most recent tracking and searching tech. However, it must be known that the fleet was caught off guard by the Graveyard fleet only because they betrayed and ruthlessly attacked the Ajakon fleet. This shows, that even when a nation is willing to work with them, they are nothing more but common pirates with backing from terrorist states. Any country that shows support for the Graveyard fleet will be recognized as a terrorist state.

        Drone Strikes on the Joint Gravy-NBF Fleet

   The beginning fleet actions made by Ajakon fleets were the launching of drones from the Pacific-based North American Fleet, the pride of the Ajakon navy, the Pacific Fleet, and the Nicaraguan Drone Force. The drones in this attack were mostly expendable single-use drones from the Ajakon fleet, while the NDF used multi-use drones that could carry 2-5 ASMs. In this attack, 8% of the Graveyard fleet was heavily damaged (Mostly frigates or cruisers) or sunk by drones with another 12% of it slightly damaged. The Ajakon Navy used 500 single-use drones with 121 of them being shot down or having other issues before hitting, while the NDF used 50 multi-use drones losing only 3 of them to enemy fire. The NBF fleet wasn't targeted as much by the drones, as a different method would be used against the new armor and (not our quality) railguns of the NBF.

     Railgun and Anti-Ship Missile bombardment of the NBF and Graveyard Fleet

   In continuation of the attack before, the Ajakon forces in the Pacific started bombardment of the two enemy fleets with railgun fire and missile launches. The railgun bombardment was guided by powerful radar and surveillance drones operated by the Nicaraguans, enabling it to be as accurate, if not more accurate, than the missiles. This attack was much more accurate and devastating than the drones especially since the enemy fleet had their AA defenses saturated by the missiles, sinking sinking a cruiser and damaging another, 3-5 minor ships, and the confirmed destruction of the BFS-Osthall. This gives the Ajakon Confederation air superiority in the area, especially with the Pacific Fleet and Nicaragua. It should be noted that NBF ships seemed to sink easier due to some sort of strange experimental armor. Despite this, the Ajakon fleet was successful in its objectives. 

        Railgun, Artillery, and Missile Bombardment of the Panama Canal. 

   After this, the Ajakon forces turned their eyes south, where the Panama Canal lay, after another surveillance drone (somehow) made it to Panama the Railguns and Artillery opened fire again, this time targeting the locks and ships inside the canal. Despite the heavy defenses which shot down 90% of the missiles, the Canal was severely damaged. This eliminates the possibility of going through the Panama Canal for quite some time, unlike the Nicaraguan Canal, which was damaged by artillery fire. Although this will affect world supply chains, the NBF forces should have known what they were asking for when they barraged the NC. 

        Naval Battle in the Pacific

   After the major bombardments, the 1st Task Force of the Pacific Fleet met the NBF Fleet in battle in the Pacific. The 1st Task Force’s flag is the Densetsu no Fune, with the Yamato and Nippon being the secondary flags (both Yamato I class supercarriers). This Task Force had swung south after the bombardments ordered earlier and went toward the NBF-owned Panama. The attack against their fleet was initially repelled due to a brave attack by 5 Graveyard destroyers and 5 submarines that had attacked the 6 Tori class MPSes (Multi-Purpose ships) and the Densetsu no Fune head on, however, the 10 enemy ships and subs were sunk or captured in the ensuing battle in return for the heavy damage of two Tori class ships and the slight damage of the Densetsu no Fune. The rest of the 1st Task Force met up with the vanguard, with the two Tori class ships falling back to the Nicaraguan Coast, being replaced by 4 Toris from the 2nd Task Force. After this, the Ajakon Task Force continued its advance, attacking the NBF fleet. The ensuing battle was bloody, due to the availability of the Panama defenses against Ajakon Forces, with the Ajakon fleet losing 3 destroyers (Shachi class), 1 Frigate (Mizu class), 4 diesel submarines (JI-300 class), and 1 cruiser (Kyoto class), with a few more ships damaged. Densetsu no Fune took more damage from an NBF frigate armed with a railgun, the retaliation was a barrage from its CO-01 railguns, destroying the ship. In other news, the Ajakon fleet won, defeating both the fleet and a major amount of the shore defenses.
