Battle of Lerma

The battle of Lerma began as a joint Alliance/Foundation training excercise. The Gudersnipe 4th, 11th, and 19th fleets joined with over 400 Alliance battle groups as well as thousands of warships from member worlds. In total, close to 50,000 ships were invovled in the excercise, the largest of it's kind.

The goal of the excercise was to practice large-scale fleet operations and test communications and organizational software that had recently been written for such purposes. Excercises invovling as many as 35,000 ships had previously been carried out, and the logistics of coordinating that many ships had proved to be next to impossible.
