New Template

After quite a while, I moved to a new blogger template, supporting two sidebars on opposite sides of the main blog column.
As I did last year, I also added some Holidays Music from the Magnatune Catalog. I hope it is something that can be enjoyes

The Star Burst

Following the damaging of the Battle Star I anticipated the commissioning of a new ship: the Star Burst.
This heavy Brig will be assigned to the Ships of the Line Squadron and will provide escort to the bigger ships, stationed in the home waters of Winterfell, freeing the ships of the High Seas squadron for far away duties.

Here are a couple of images of the ship entering Eventide

Assessing the situation with staff members after the attack

Under Attack

Last night there was a surprise attack to the fleet and the Battle Star was badly damaged and partly sunk.
The engineers have been able to take the beaten hull to a dry dock and tell me she can be repaired but she is now out of commission for several weeks.

The fleet firepower has been severely diminished.

Winds of War

There have been rumors going around in the past days about Caledon being ready to attack Mainland.
It does not make much sense to me but the news have gone around the all over the Steamlands and their is a fair amount of discussions going on.

The Lady Seneschelf has proclaimed Winterfell's neutrality, which makes me only happy, because there is a bit of mainlander in all of us ("Ich bin ein Mainlander" to rephrase a famous sentence).

In any case, since history teaches us that neutrality is guaranteed only to those who can defend it, I have recalled some ships of the High Seas Squadron back in Winterfell waters and I have started to run daily patrols to make sure that the realm is safe.

Here is an image of task force 15, composed by the Battle Star, the Hunting Star and the Exploring Star sailing just south of the Nepenthe Gate.
