Operation Grand Master - Part 1

The dawn of a new era started in the most casual of ways. From SLC Thumba a Yama 2 Heavy Lift Launch Rocket took to the skies. The massive rocket is carrying in its payload three satellites which are being positioned in Low Earth Orbit above South America. The combination COMSAT/RECONSATs of Strategic Reconnaissance Agency are the last piece in a massive jigsaw orchestrated over several weeks.

Meanwhile at St Helena a massive fleet of warships and transport ships are being bunkered. Squadrons of fighter planes are also arriving in waves at the Forward Air Base St Helena and moving on to the MOB2 and MOB3 further north.

Monitoring the movements via a LED console is His Highness Kerala Varma aboard the Pushpak Space Shuttle PS5. In a few hours, the Space Shuttle would start the re-entry procedures when he would be incommunicado but for the time being the King of Cochin surveyed the deployments and gave the ready order which is relayed to the RCDF GSHQ outside Cochin City. This would be the start of a new era in the history of the Kingdom of Cochin, a saga which has been in the best times been turbulent. There was no saying how this would turn out. Like all acts of ambition this too is an act of gamble. Would future generations, would his descendants, would his people condemn him for putting the Kingdom in peril or would they laud him for taking the Kingdom into heights of greatness never before dreamed of? All these imponderables are enough to sag the shoulders of the strongest of men, but he could not falter.

"Yadhaa Raaja, Thadhaa Praja" (As is the King, so would be the people)

And here he would personify the ambition, greatness and strength of the people of Cochin.

Within minutes of his Ready order the fleet of warships started sailing out as the opening moves of the Operation Grand Master played out.
