Exercise Southern Shores

Exercise Southern Shores was the codename given by Trans-Euran Command to a naval training deployment conducted within the Aqabah Banner Group area of operations, primarily along the southern littoral regions between Arâk and Port Félix, during late 1729 AN and early 1730 AN.

It was most notably the opportunity for an initial shakedown cruise of the Susa-class aircraft carrier Imperial Will, newly entered into Constancian service, and embarked New Alexandrian air assets.

The Allied Carrier Strike Group would stage a number of port visits in Oportia and Zeed, with the former instances being especially significant as they formed a part of the ceremonies welcoming Oportia into the Raspur Pact.
