Unified Sith is today announcing the fortification of Stragoth Island.
This island is located 110 miles of the coast of unified sith and it has been deemed necessary to fortify this Island.
The island is approximately in area 18 square miles.

Its natural defences are formidable. Except for the natural harbours which have been dredged to accomidate the Jordaian navy. The sheer Granite cliffs of the island make an assault be sea almost unthinkable as they tower 122 metres above sea level.

All military buildings will be now constructed at least 650 metres below ground level.

At this moment a tunnel is being excavated which will run from the mainland to the Island to provide a continuous supply chain.

At this moment continuous sonar beacons are being placed around the island, as well as large minefields to make any enemy navy think twice about attacking.

We are also placing Sam launchers around the island to prevent arial attacks. In conjunction with the islands own air force, which will consist of 1200 beyla fighter bombers.

These fighters will remian below ground at all times, to get them to the suface a large lift, similar to an aircraft carrier except this lift hold 300 fighters takes them to the surface.

UNIFIED SITH is looking for a nation to provide us with LARGE COASTAL GUNS/ MISSILE LAUNCHERS to place into the Granite cliffs to help defend against an arial and naval assault.

The island is unique it is in most contexts a large granite block descending to the sea bed.

Midlonaia what type of Coastal guns do you have in mind?

205mm, enough to sink most powerful ships

Since the Jordaxian navy will soon be stationed here, in order to better protect close allies, we have to ask what their range is (to help us in any encounters) how accurate (I don't want mine hit) whats the survivability like (will I need to provide lots of cover against bombers) and finally, will they take long to install (because my navy will take another day to arrive)
