Due to oceanic thermal interference, naval ships from both sides were forced to engage one another head-on. To rectify this, every available IF naval unit was scrambled to the Pacific Ocean to take on the battlegroup head-on, starting by sinking one of their convoys. The Eminent Domain, the rebel flagship, had been attempting to force a blockade at the route, only for the Federation to overpower them at every turn with the 1st Battlegroup. Worse still, the 1st Battlegroup was the Federation's only remaining naval force in-theater. To worsen problems for the Federation, only 35% of the Federation Air Force in-country was operational, and even then, making a stand was voluntary the rest were being sent back home to cut losses. Consequently, any convoy under attack would be forced to sail all the way to the Federation Core States or nearby member nations, rendering them vulnerable - a "Catch-22" situation as described later. This was all the more important with a ceasefire secretly being worked on by higher-ups on both sides of the conflict.ĭue to freezing relations between Sawaiiki and the Federation since the Wai Mami Port raid, which dealt plenty of damage to the port, the latter lost all access to its naval facilities, effectively depriving them of an important stopping point for naval forces. Any break to this lifeline would greatly reduce their defensive effectiveness and starve the defenders, effectively securing the war in the rebels' favor. The Federation, ever since the lockdown on air traffic and transport in the months back due to rebel fighters running interference, had been using the ports in Presidia to resupply its forces in the country, which intensified following the Cascadian Calamity Event. This is their final beast, and they are desperately trying to keep it fed." ― Captain J. Presidia is on the horizon, and the Federation is cornered like a rat in Cascadia.
