For the three decades after the War of Lost Brothers maritime trade between the members of the Raspur Pact, particularly where it involved the transit between ports located in different continental theatre commands[1], were conducted exclusively via escorted convoys. For the longest time these convoys were organised as trade fleets by the Natopian maritime trading company SATCo, with onboard security for merchant vessels provided by the contracted Maritime Support Group and a strong force of escorting corvettes typically provided by the continental theatre command from whence the convoy made its outbound journey.
