ICEL OOC Intel Update Thread

[OOC: This thread is entirely OOC (that is, this is not information that my nation or anyone in my nation is actively providing, but contains IC information that may be used).

However, information marked with a * is to be considered extremely hard to come by, and thus is only known by ICEL allied states unless you contact me specifically in order to discover whether or not you know. If no contact is made and knowledge is used, that use of knowledge will be ignored. Not the person using it: just any action or reaction based on that information.

The information below this line is considered to be common knowledge thanks to shared intelligence/proliferation of civilian observation satelites/general knowledge/media information.

Note:- The name 'Surface Naval' is deceptive. It refers to the surface of the planet, not the surface of the ocean. All of the Battlegroups are dominated by a supporting group of submarines designed to provide a 'submarinal defence net' to protect against various submarinal attacks, whilst the surface ships are left free to concentrate on defence against aerial attacks and striking at enemy targets.

1 'Vanguard' Surface Naval Battlegroup - position unknown; suspected to be 'running silent' near Rio Grande Rise, South Atlantic Ocean

2 'Semir-randil' Surface Naval Battlegroup - Sighted Bay of Turath, holding position Bay of Turath Staging Area (flagship IDSS Semir-randil sighted +12nm west from eastern bay coastline, -52m north from edge of ICEL Exclusion Zone)

3 'Nenya' Surface Naval Battlegroup - Sighted Bay of Turath, holding position Bay of Turath Staging Area (flagship IDSS Turath sighted +7nm west from eastern bay coastline, -27nm north from edge of ICEL Economic Exclusion Zone)

4 'Turath' Surface Naval Battlegroup - Sighted Bay of Turath, holding position at Primary Turath Naval Dockyards, Tertiary Drydock Berths 1 through 82 inclusive

1 'Devastator' Surface Naval Squadron - At rest, ICEL Defensive Naval Base, Knootoss

Military Intelligence - Air Assets

All air assets grounded excepting normal peacetime border/airspace readiness patrol activities.

Concrete Military Intelligence - Space Assets

CCSDA (Commonality Civilian Space Defence Initiative):-
ICEL Earth Space automated defences active, passive targeting only.

CSF (Commonality Space Force):-
All gunports on all ships remain 'sealed'. No active scanning reported.
- 1 Stellar Battlegroup remains in ICEL Earth Space
- 4 Stellar Squadron reportedly holding position relative to Earth-Moon relationship in cislunar space near an ICEL accelerative shunt
- 2 Stellar Battlegroup sighted arriving at Vilya Elenosto, Sol Orbit [+9ls steady; 19km/s orbital velocity (Sol-relative), relative rest (Orbital Colony of Vilya Elenosto relative); 000 degrees horizontal by 000 degrees vertical]
- 1, 2, 3 Stellar Squadrons sighted various assorted positions on fluctuating Sol-orbital courses
- 2 and 3 Stellar Battlegroups holding combinded formation position at 1ls reverse-orbit distance from Earth

VESF (Vilya Elenoston Space Force):-
All assets holding position in defensive arrangement around ICEL Sol Orbital Colony of Vilya Elenosto or at docked at the Eternal Dockyards, Vilya Elenoston Space.

All information below this line is considered 'tough to discover' except for ICEL allies - at least for certain. Suspicions regarding information below may be mentioned above, in which case suspicions are okay - 'just knowing somehow through gut feeling', however, is annoying and is not okay unless there's a really really good reason.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

General Low-Visiblity Information

- 1 Surface Battlegroup on unknown black ops mission at Rio Grande Rise, South Atlantic Ocean.*

----------------------------------------------------------------

More information will be added as time goes by. Updates will occur whenever anything above changes.

Military data may or may not be added. I'm not sure, yet; for various reasons...]

All information below this line is usually considered 'tough to discover' except for ICEL allies - at least for certain. Suspicions regarding information below may be mentioned above, in which case suspicions are okay - 'just knowing somehow through gut feeling', however, is annoying and is not okay unless there's a really really good reason. If it is not marked with a *, however (indicating that it is very low-visibility), then it contains elements of easily discoverable or inferrable information, but is included here because certain nations may have had pre-existing knowledge (such as strong allies, who would have been informed prior).
