Field Marshal Nadine Leclerc Arrives in Selene
Fresh off her victories over the doomsday cult in the Elateia region, FM Leclerc has arrived in Selene to much fanfare. The FM upon the recommendation of Archon Jessero was appointed as the Supreme Allied Commander of the Arctic Intervention Forces. Having taken up the command at the behest of the Parthenopian government, the thirty-thousand strong Parthenopians are said to be in high spirits with many having served under FM Leclerc in Elateia. This appointment though has not come without grumblings by other high ranking military officials who believe that her appointment is more fan fare and self-serving than deserved. Her epaulets were only awarded three weeks prior to the appointment and many in the Military Chiefs of Staff are said to be disgruntled that a more seasoned veteran wasn't appointed in her place.
Nonetheless the forces are set to finish gathering within the next couple days and then set sail from there. FM Leclerc will be joined by Marshals Tibbideaux, Orauns and Marriens. Fleet Admiral de Val will be commanding the Second Fleet from his flagship the RNS Thalassa. Admiral Girudine will be commanding the logistics fleet that will keep the forces supplied throughout the campaign.
