'''Exercise: MOSTLY HARMLESS''' was a series of simulated Command and Control (C2) missions coordinated by the [[micronation]] [[Slabovia]]. The Naval Detachment of the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] participated in the exercise, as did a crew from the Aerican Empire. The event occurred over the course of four hours on 22 November 2020. | '''Exercise: MOSTLY HARMLESS''' was a series of simulated Command and Control (C2) missions coordinated by the [[micronation]] [[Slabovia]].

In October 2020, Slabovia announced that three [[micronations]]: Westarctica, the Aerican Empire, and the United Slabovian Empire, had formed an alliance to train their crews in Command and Control warfare utilizing a simulated battlespace. This organization was christened the Micronational Outer Space Taskforce (MOST). Its primary goal is to develop and implement standardized training for bridge crew and commanders at the ship and fleet level. Through a series of exercises, it is expected that this effort will result in improved coordination between the three micronations and allow their respective military forces to gain valuable C2 experience. | In October 2020, Slabovia announced that three [[micronations]]: [[Westarctica]], the [[Aerican Empire]], and the United Slabovian Empire, had formed an alliance to train their crews in Command and Control warfare utilizing a simulated battlespace.

The WS ''Endurance'' was outfitted and prepared for the simulation the night before with four separate computer stations and a large flatscreen TV that would serve as the main viewscreen. At 0930 local time, [[Count of Dendtler|CPL Schroeder]] and CPL Kramer arrived at the ''Endurance'' and were quickly trained on their stations. Kramer was assigned Weapons and Schroeder was assigned the Helm. COL McHenry served as Captain of the vessel and also handled the Science and Communications stations. | The WS ''Endurance'' was outfitted and prepared for the simulation the night before with four separate computer stations and a large flatscreen TV that would serve as the main viewscreen.

The exercise was launched at 1000 local time. All four ships were able to communicate with one another via the Artemis communications station, which allowed text messages to be sent and received by all parties. The fleet, under direction of Lord High Admiral Bragg, successfully cleared all sectors of enemies in numerous scenarios in level 3 difficulty. At level 5 difficulty, the game crashed several times and the fleet lost several ships, including the ''Endurance'', which was destroyed at least three times after charging into lone combat against a vastly more powerful Skaraan vessel. | The exercise was launched at 1000 local time.
