-'''Exercise: MOSTLY HARMLESS''' was a series of simulated space battles 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.

 ==Background==
-The Slabovian "Navey" had been running simulated space battles for many years utilizing a computer program called the Artemis Bridge Simulator. This simulator allows five or more computers to be designated as terminals on a the bridge of a starship, with a captain issuing commands to make the ship maneuver, explore, and battle in a given sector of fictional space. The basic premise is similar to that of ''Star Trek'' with primary terminals devoted to Helm, Weapons, Science, Engineering, and Weapons. Each terminal is manned by one crewmember, and their ability to communicate with their captain is essential to success.

 [[Grand Duke Travis]] and the [[Countess of Benton]] had previously participated in [[Exercise: Westarctic Chill]] with the Slabovian "Navey" during a diplomatic visit to Hamilton, Ontario in the summer of 2019. The Grand Duke enjoyed the experience so much that he began training on his own to become more proficient with the Artemis Bridge Simulator.
 ==Creation of MOST==
-In October 2020, Slabovia announced that three [[micronations]]: Westarctica, the Aerican Empire, and the United Slabovian Empire, had formed an alliance to train crews for operations in simulated deep-space environments. 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 experience.
