July 5566 | King Bassam II Naval Air Base to open in O'mer.
Chief of the General Staff Field Marshal Kabir bin Ziyaad al-Majali confirmed that the General Staff would be opening a new naval air base located on the outskirts of al-Qoralus, a coastal city located in eastern O'mer. The Port of Qoralus has served as a vital port on the eastern coast of Kafuristan for centuries and the expansion of a pre-existing naval base is a first for the Kafuri Navy. The new naval air base, to be known as the King Bassam II Naval Air Base, and will be serve as the headquarters for the South Ocean Fleet, which will be based out of the new naval air base. The South Ocean Fleet, the premier fleet of the Kafuri Navy, has undergone a substantial renovation and is currently being outfitted with a myriad of new vessels, the port will also serve as a vital deterrent for any opposing forces within the Sea of Lost Souls and those sailing south from the South Ocean. While the Ministry of Defense has remained tight-lipped about the naval air bases capabilities, it is likely to serve as a vital intelligence point for the Kafuri Navy as they open their first large-scale, permanent naval base on the east coast of Kafuristan. Expansion of the pre-existing port and the development of new facilities is expected to take approximately a year and completion and full operation is slated for summer, 5568.
