Chaukhira: Difference between revisions

The islands of Chaukhira are home to a myriad of small [[Navy of Burgundie|naval]] and [[Revenue Guard]] stations, and airstrips. While Chaukhira is a key component of [[La Garrote]] it became effectively cut off from the maritime world when the [[1982]] [[LoN]] {{wpl|Law of the Sea}} passed the Economic Exclusion Zone provision, essentially codifying that marine traffic to and from Chaukhira must pass through the waters of other nations. Since that time there have been no instances of a restriction of the [[Freedom of the Seas]] in the [[Aab-e-Farus]] or the Xx Straits, but the [[Navy of Burgundie#Grand Eastern Command|Navy of Burgundie's Grand Eastern Command]] is postured for a break out of Chaukhira in the event of war. As such the largest naval base on the islands is primarily used as a transit port and not a permanent station for any of the commands largest and most valuable ships. It has no large scale drydock facilities and berthed ships are never allowed to fully turn off their engines and systems. As such, it is one of the most hated billets or transit points for sailors because liberty is always limited on scope and duration.
