Tsargrad: Deltaria has finally managed to strike back at the Kalistani fleet under leadership of Coltrane after months of harassment and high economic loss caused by the pirate fleet in the Majatran Sea. The newly established Federal Navy with funds reserved by the Ministry of Finance, has managed to work in the past 3 months to reconstruct three old corvettes left rotting in a junkyard some years ago. These corvettes, though rusty, needed relatively low effort to be reconstructed causing them to be selected for a so called "Quick Reaction Force". This force had to be assembled within 3 months, including ships and a basic trained crew. The hull and other structure related issues were quickly fixed after which internal systems and the main gun of the ship were patched up by the only remaining military shipyard in the country situated in Balgrad. The crew had to be quickly trained, causing them to get minimal experience on the three ships. Furthermore precision guided munitions could not be made, only allowing the three corvettes to use their main gun as weapons. With these limitations they set sail for the Majatran Sea, where they tried to lure Coltrane and his fleet.

This plan succeeded, as Coltrane attacked the three covettes with his entire fleet. In the aftermath, Coltranes fleet was scattered but heavy damage was dealt to one of the corvettes, resulting in it totally incapacitated and at least 19 of its crew dead. The Deltarian formation did manage to sink two Kalistani corvettes, but one of the three main guns were also disabled after a Kalistani rocket hit it in the tube. In the aftermath, the incapacitated corvette was dragged back to Balgrad. It is unclear how this confrontation will affect Kalistani operations in the Majatran Sea but what is clear is that Deltaria, though limited in its options, has finally been able to somewhat fight back against the maritime incursion into what it deems its "home turf".
