Siege of Shea Island
Part of the 3st Puna Peere Fleet was sent to blockade the Shea Island Naval Complex on October 15th, 2024. The force consisted of 4 ships; the flagship SS Beanpole, the SS Beetle, the SS Death and the SS Conscription. The SS Conscription was diverted to run counter siege operations further west in the Djobom Sea. The three remaining ships of the task force successfully besieged Shea Island for 10 days leading up to the Battle for Shea Island.
Battle for Shea Island
On the morning of October 25th at around 7:30AM Arizona Time, the SS Death was fired upon by defensive weapons on the northern side of Shea Island. However, due to the actions of East Puan sappers the first salvo was a complete failure and caused significant damage to the northern defenses causing the XPA forces to scramble to build a new TNT cannon. The SS Death returned fire causing some minor exterior damage and major damage within the walls of the complex before finally succumbing to the TNT cannon fire and sinking. The SS Beetle was fired upon from the southern defenses but many of the initial shots missed entirely. The SS Beetle returned fire and made many direct impacts on the western and southern walls before also succumbing to the fire from the defenses. The compliment of Marine forces on the SS Beanpole were sent through the hole in the exterior wall nearby and after some fierce fighting were able to successfully capture the naval complex.
