March 4th, 1939 - The Arrival of the Ruthenian Fleet
The gray dawn cast a cold light over the choppy waters as the Ruthenian fleet sliced through the frigid sea, their ironclad hulls glistening with the spray of saltwater. The horizon was a wall of dark clouds, heavy with the promise of a storm, yet it did nothing to deter the fleet's grim purpose. They had come to send a message, one that would echo in the halls of Valoria's Volkshalle and challenge their sovereignty.
The Ruthenian fleet was an impressive armada, meticulously organized into a formation designed for both intimidation and combat readiness. At its heart were the four battleships, their massive 16-inch guns capable of reducing coastal defenses to rubble from miles away. Each battleship displaced over 40,000 tons, their decks bristling with anti-aircraft guns and secondary batteries.
