QUROPAN SEA: The Prospirian ships that survived the battle of the Quropan sea are sent for repair (or continue repair or earlier damages), and much of the remnants of the undamaged Prospirian navy are pooled into two groups of 10 Light Groups (each LG has 10 destroyers, 10 cruisers, and 15 AA ships), both of which engage the remnants of the involved Volcanian fleet. The fighter group continues engaging the Volcanian air force, and the bombers engage Volcanian ships. For the first time, Flying Behemoth (FB-1, bh) planes are sent into the skies of a warzone. They're there to test if they can A) survive plane bullets and B) ram into unsuspecting planes and survive (this is their only means of attack). We have more in stockpile, but just 20 are being sent for now to see if they're even practical (finally). QUROPA: Fearing a potential 3Arathusine invasion, local militias are condensed and 3.5 million JDF troops begin mobilizing and being sent to the 3Arathusine border. They have regular armor compositions and maintain defensive positions; attempts at convincing 3Arathusine troops not to fight continue. BEIRON: The colonial garrison, which has had ample time to set up coastal defenses, defends bitterly against the Volcanian invasion force, inflicting heavy casualties as the Volcanians attempt to establish a beachhead. A nearby Herklander "volunteer" force of 25 tactical support units (totalling 75 fighters and 50 bombers) is raised to support Malahoa's garrison. Local volunteers are conscripted by will to reinforce the garrison, though this offers only a limited supply as most of the Malahoans don't really care that much about the war. Local organizations are set up to prepare for possible Volcanian occupation, just in case, with people being encouraged to resist anything that would go against Mat'senist ideals. MARTHUN: The final communes ratify the colony peace. Their garrisons stay raised, just in case, and the air force remains on high alert; the communes order their troops to resist any foreign troops trying to pass through their territory without prior agreements.
