OOC: Technically, kitty, you're ships (the CN ones) are still with the NAR fleet, so escape is an option right now, if you want to take it. Time is limited, however. I'm leaving the surface battle, but my land forces are coming in to wreck it.

IC: Battered and bruised, Arkillon makes the decision to return home. All ships are called back, and make a break for the open sea, just before the jaws of the Federation fleet close down. A few Federation ships are stupid enough to follow, and are quickly destroyed by dozens of IHA-1A interceptors. However, the NAR is far from out of the fight.

From on the opposite side of the IKN Islands, thousands of ships, ranging from MV's, oilers, warships, and even luxury cruise liners, deposit over 500,000 NAR troops, including 25,000 elite Executive Guards. All troops sent have undergone rigorous training, and many are battle hardened from battles in the US. Along with the troops comes thousands of vehicles and aircraft, the latter of which will be operating at IKN airfields.

The thousands of troops raise IKN morale, as they load on trains towards Neviston. Within just a few hours, 100,000 NAR troops are at the battlefield, with 200,000 more on the way. 200,000 will be held back for reinforcements.

OOC: 1 Executive Guard=2-3 regular troops.
