OVERVIEW
With the prospect of war on the horizon with Kusari, the Liberty Navy has sought to reinforce its already significant military prowess by issuing the reactivation order of mothballed assets. Taking into account the technology possessed by the rival House, a larger fleet that is able to rapidly respond to internal threats was now seen as a strategic imperative.
One vessel in particular, the Battleship Minneapolis, was deactivated following the Insurgency Campaign, and has remained mothballed at Norfolk Shipyard since. This vessel has received just such a call to return to service, and is set to undergo an immediate reactivation process. The Navy is bringing this relatively young warship back into service with the ambition of reinforcing Liberty military interests both in Colorado and in New York.
Minneapolis requires maintenance and the relevant upgrade packages to bring her up to date with the rest of the fleet. The Liberty Navy has decided to call upon its faithful ally Bretonia, by requesting the return of remaining parts and specialist plant machinery provided during the wartime Lend Lease operation. for the maintenance of Liberty capital ships. These are now being uninstalled from Portsmouth Shipyard, and prepared for export to Liberty.
In return, Liberty has offered specialty modular Avionics and Interior components for Bretonia's own efforts to modernize its fleet, driven by fears of a resurgent Gallia. To source these components, the Liberty Navy has prepared a shortlist of approved defense contractors who are authorized to participate in the project.
It has been determined to conduct a joint exercise between the Bretonian Armed Forces (BAF) and the Liberty Navy [LN] to conduct a rapid-scale logistical operation with the aims of rapidly stockpiling the necessary raw material to speed up the subsequent deployment of the Minneapolis. However, there are risks involved in this operation. The increased military traffic through the adjoining systems is likely to draw the attention of pirates, militants, and such, who may wish to try their luck at obtaining some of these military supplies to further their own respective causes.
The planned operation is to be conducted between Portsmouth Shipyard in Cambridge, with the intended destination being Norfolk Shipyard within the New York system. Convoys of heavily armed and protected merchant ships are expected.
DETAILS
Dahlgren Cargo Annex will be deployed outside Norfolk Shipyard.
Players can RP with [LN] to have their POB added to the "approved defense contractor" list.
Preferred Suppliers purchasing Avionic or Interior Components from an Approved Defense Contractor and selling it at the Dahlgren Cargo Annex will earn a credit reward.
Red Rock Refinery, Deep Space Engineering. Susquehanna Station, Deep Space Engineering. Copperland, Deep Space Engineering. Wetherfield Station, Ageira Technologies Arcetri Station, Bristol Construction.
Factions can RP with [LN] to have their ID added the "Preferred Supplier" list, which are the IDs that can earn delivery bonuses during the Manufacturing (April 14th - April 26th) and Trade (April 20th to April 26th) Phases.
Preferred Suppliers:
- Purchasing stockpiled Avionics and Interiors on Dahlgren Cargo Annex and selling them at Portsmouth Shipyard, Cambridge will receive a credit reward.
- Purchasing Lend Lease Materiel on Portsmouth Shipyard and selling it at Dahlgren Cargo Annex will receive a credit reward.
Liberty Navy, [LN], 46th, Deep Space Engineering, [DSE], Universal.
BAF, BAF|, Bowex, BMM, Gateway Shipping.
Local unlawful factions will seek to raid the Liberty Navy and Bretonian Armed Forces convoys in order to liberate the materials and use them for their own cause.
- Avionics and Interiors will be bought by Lisburn Rock, Invergordon Shipyard and Pinnacle Base.
- Lend Lease Materiel will be bought by Lisburn Rock, Invergordon Shipyard and Pinnacle Base.
OUTCOME
Following several weeks of high intensity industrial and logistics activity, Operation SARTORIAL has concluded.
With Norfolk now flush with the additional Lend Lease-era plant machinery imported from Bretonia, the shipyard is operating at peak operational capability. The newly integrated tooling has been sufficient to finalise the reactivation work on the Battleship Minneapolis.
The mighty vessel is expected to depart its berth within the next few days, for a shakedown cruise around New York. On completing these trials, final adjustments will be completed at Norfolk before it assumes its place at the head of the newly constituted Minneapolis fleet in Colorado.
Most importantly, Liberty's military-civilian logistics partnerships have had the opportunity to blow off the cobwebs and flex muscles that have gone untested since the end of the Gallic War. Despite initial hiccups, the operation's rousing success has sent an unmistakable message to onlooking powers.

Quick FAQ on how this works:
The POB at Norfolk has its price for components set to $1, however when you buy Avionics or Interiors on a registered POB, it should trigger the trade event if you have an appropriate ID.
Selling the comps on the event POB will then end the event, giving you the credit bonuses.
The manufacturing configs should be active already, and the trading side of the event will use the comps that have been produced and stockpiled.
Just bought the last 24 Avionics Systems off Red Rock Refinery using a newly created Liberty Navy ID ship (not in an OF). Total received when sold on Dahlgren Cargo Annex was 24 credits. Are the bonus credits awarded right away or at event end?

As a note, Susquehanna Station has it's systems set at 800/800 (both types), no "in stock" systems can be bought from that station atm.
The event haven't started yet, as it begins on April 20th.
If you ever see me Disconnect, I am not escaping interaction.
My internet decided to die on me and I shall be back promptly!✀ Also, if I'm not back for a longer time the internet really took some time off (blame the ISP).

Seems to be an issue with the event config for the manufacturing part. I'll try and figure it out later on then send you a reimbursement if you include your character name.

That's only the trade event to Bretonia and back, the supplying of Interiors and Avionics to Dahlgren is meant to be started already, but as Jammi noted above there's an issue with the event config.

Hi all
Quick update on this - due to the event config being buggered until earlier today, we're pushing everything back by a week. Additional details are in the OP but the two phases are as follows:
Manufacturing Phase: April 19th - May 3rd
Trading Phase: April 27th - May 3rd
The following bases have been added as Approved Defense Contractors:
Copperland, Deep Space Engineering.
Wetherfield Station, Ageira Technologies
Arcetri Station, Bristol Construction.
Susquehanna Station, Deep Space Engineering.
this pob doesnt produce any ship components, only produces ships(so it buys, not sells)
Cortez Miner Tavern should be added instead of that
Take note that the event requires the components to be made and sold by the approved pobs. Buying components from elsewhere, selling them to the approved pobs, and then rebuying them is considered circumvention of the event premise.
If you have done this, make a PR here https://discoverygc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=186
Include shipnames used and amount of bonus credits made. We will be lenient with self-reports within the next 24 hours starting from time of this post.
