The Teprorians were known for their naval capabilities, in fact they where pretty well known for having a very terrible Navy. Their ships are only for coastal defense, and yet their fixed coastal defenses are better the naval. But some of the of the Teprorian ships where high quality, one was the TSS Enigma, Teprors best and only explorer ship, so they were forced to "contract" the herwan navy, and by contract, it of course means legally mandate that an escort company the Enigma.
The Teprorian Military Communication Bureau intercepted an international communication regarding a new emerging nation in eastern pelia, and Tepror was chomping at the bit to make an ally in eastern pelia, even after the baseless accusations from the international community at large, ESPECIALLY from pelia. The TSS Enigma was sailing in the middle of the Herwan escort, and the leader of the mission, One Josef Combs, head diplomat of the MoDa introduction department.
"Oh my GOD, WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO SAIL, I hate the stupid ocean." Josef was getting incredibly sea sick, and complaining to the XO of the ship. "Well, you Teprorian types cant really land a place in the middle of the ocean can you?" Josef glares at the XO. "don't temp me, I'll give the engineer an energy drink and hell get a behemoth to be able to land and take off in the ocean."
