    This actually opens an even larger can of worms. I distinctly remember House Mebhe mentioning at least three missing giant tankers. Tankers that no longer have ports to deliver to. With the Mist, the start of this problem, Starfall is unreachable.

    Considering that many of them originated at Amon-Lanc, they no longer have home ports either. Ergo, they are orphaned. From the story, many are automated with on-board AIs and are nuclear fueled and are therefore, largely autonomous. Finding them is one thing, having a port large enough to bring them to is yet a different problem. Unloading them is yet another problem. Does the Maris Islands have port capacity for them somewhere? Greenvale may help there, maybe? Another option is Delusarnan Port if it has been cleared from quarantine. There is also port Morris.

    The House Mebhe Fleet also has a personnel issue. Most of those sailor were out at sea when Amon-Lanc was nuked. All of their families have been killed. From earlier in the story, they have less than 5,000 effectives, total. I am being generous. The Maris Islands airport also just became Hose Mebhe’s only land-based aeroport. Yes, Maris Islands-House Mebhe could definitely use the additional resources but dealing with them has its own set of issues.

    There is also the issue of those that Dehane didn’t kill off, if any. There should be over 25,000 dead bodies and their support community, or resultant splinter groups.

      If you think Dehane didn’t include any relatives in his clean sweep of the company you may be slightly optimistic.

      … Assuming they /had/ any and it wasn’t all or mostly just avatars of himself.

    To my estimation, we are still only on day one of Ian’s coup, barely into the next morning.

    Yes, looting the orphaned cargo fleet is an excellent plan, if they can make it work.

    Final minor detail, since many of the orphaned cargo fleet originated-from/destined-to Amon-Lanc, it could be legally argued that they fall under House Mebhe jurisdiction/ownership.

      The Bill of Lading dictates ownership of the cargo. The ships are in international waters and are under whatever jurisdiction the treaties governing ocean shipments provides. Mebhe would have jurisdiction within Amon-Lanc waters. On the other hand, no one’s going to argue with a warship regarding who gets to do what unless they have a bigger one.

        Yes and House Mebhe and Targeter’s company are the only large navies I know of. Berand Belisarius may have had one but that may be moot. Mebhe and Targeter both have carriers, Cruisers, not so much. You are correct, firepower at the point of contention, counts for a lot.

        House Mebhe may still have the most powerful Navy on the planet.
