THIS JUST IN: Jageran Niðhogg Carrier Group Diverted to Exordium Island

Anfang - In a surprising move today, the Jageran Ministry of Defence issued orders to redirect warships towards Fervean waters.

The orders apply to the fleet escorting the Jontadain floating fortress FBJ Bonaventure from Jonquiere-Tadoussac to Jagera. The vessels, including the aircraft carrier JAS Niðhogg and survey vessel JWS Långsynt have been dispatched for Exordium Island in conjunction with concerns of an object that had splashed down April 28.

"The utmost care has been taken to communicate to the government of Ferveo that the actions of the Niðhogg carrier group are not intended as hostile," stated Elge Ásgeir, spokesperson for the Regional Ministry. "The government of Jagera is concerned about possible effects on the fleet caused by unforeseen consequences of the object's impact. Their mission is meant to scout the surrounding area, as well as to act as a liaison between the governments of Jagera and Ferveo, so information can be relayed as quickly as possible. "

The group headed for Exordium Island has been split from the fleet escorting the Bonaventure, though the Ministry of Defence states strongly that the floating fortress still has a more-than-sufficient force escorting it back to Jagera.

"A Jontadain Floating Fortress has aircraft launching facilities equal to Jagera's two largest aircraft carriers, as well as the missile payload of a heavy missile cruiser and guns equivalent to a battleship," says Commodore Pierre Selaut, commanding the Bonaventure. "Grouped with the heavy missile cruisers JWS Tyr and Frostjätte and numerous supporting vessels, we can take anything that is thrown at us."

The Bonaventure is expected in the port of Colisin some time next month. No predictions have been made on how long the Niðhogg Carrier Group will remain near Fervean waters.
