On Sunday a naval strike fleet controlled by North Simpleplaneistan (NS) forces was spotted moving into the Souther Islands, effectively annexing all shipping to the Vector Aerospace controlled Islands. This move was likely in response to the sinking of the USS Tiny by Vector Aerospace GA-3 Finches late last week. FA-18 Hornets launched from the NS carrier USS Beast to perform scoutung tasks for the fleet. It was then that FA-2 Lions of the 1st Air Task Group engaged the Hornets over the skies of the Southern Islands, scoring 1 kill. This was the first air to air kill of any aircraft built by Vector Aerospace. The North Simpleplaneistan Prime Minister has declared formal war on Vector Aerospace, marking the first time a soverign nation has declared war on a private company. Stay tuned for more!
