21st August 1659
Akhand Bharatiya Empire, Bharatiya Overseas Territory Seychelles
The naval base in Seychelles is already lively even before sunrise. Everyone is doing final preparations before the battle takes place, and all the warships are being stocked up with necessary ammunition, weaponry, supplies, and essential materials. The Guwahati Class Armed Merchant ships are being loaded up with all the materials critical for the war, while at the same time, the sailors and warriors that would be going to battle in 24 hours have joined together for a peaceful breakfast, potentially for the last time since their lives weren't guaranteed from the time they had signed up for the job. The mid-level and higher naval leaders are taking their last break as they just finished doing the final checkups on the ships and their plans. One last briefing in the evening, and after that, it is war.
