Sleek and majestic, cutting through the waters of the Eastern Sea like a dagger, the ESS Noblesse left the shipyards of eastern Eredron on its maiden voyage.

Designed by the internationally renowned Gregory Schneider, the Noblesse was built to serve as the latest of a series of yachts that have carried Eredron's Head of State across the ocean since 1706. With spacious accomodations for thirty persons and a luxuriously detailed interior, the Noblesse will carry Senator Hill across the world as he meets with various foreign dignitaries, including several officials of the unified Naori government.

Financed largely through private donations, the Noblesse features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities which allow the Head of State and his entourage to handle all national affairs while at sea.

As the ESS Noblesse refueled at an Eredronian naval port in North Naori, acting head of state Senator Hill met in private meetings with top members of the former Eredronian Principality of North Naori, and participated in celebrations honoring the reunification of North and South Naori. Delivering a speech to a crowd of thousands, Senator Hill honored the sacrifices made by Naorians both in The Shining War, and in the years that followed. Hill called Naori the "rising power in Asia" to the cheers of thousands. The Senator ignored the crowd of demonstrators that had gathered, protesting Eredron's continued presence in Naori and her past colonial claims, instead focusing on the importance of a strong political and economic relationship.


"...Naori is destined for greatness. The obstacles of the past have been overcome, and the challenges of the future shall be met. In this there can be no doubt. Eredron has been honored to have a part in bringing an end to the division and strife that has plagued this nation, and we will have the honor of watching Naori rise to greatness..."


Senator Hill stayed for two days in Naori, before he departed aboard the Noblesse. The senator's spokesperson announced the senator would be making brief stops throughout Asia; plans to meet with Al Khals and Whittier officials were being tentatively scheduled, despite the Middle East conflict.
