Maintaining pressure in the area requires
fuel, replenishment and access to repair yards,
while every added escort reduces the number
of Hestunian ships available elsewhere.

Continued Strain

Hestunia is regrouping its escorts after the
attack, seeking to restore the regular flow

of its convoys. The need to allocate more
ships to escort duty deepens the strain on
Hestunia’s broader operations, even as Tera’s
raiders remain at large following the raid.
