14th May 1700.
Hawaii, Akhand Bharatiya Empire.
Hawaii served as the main transit hub and the most critical logistics base of the Bharatiya Empire in the Pacific, making its port enormous and its size comparable to the empire's only trade-free port, Nakavaram. Even so, it was still not large enough to dock all the warships of the Bharatiya Navy. As a result, many vessels remained anchored offshore, floating in the nearby waters around the port and across other islands in the archipelago.
The army units that had travelled aboard the warships disembarked in Hawaii, standing by for further orders whenever deployment became necessary. All naval officers had taken their posts, and the initial checks had been completed. Every sailor was aboard, along with medics, logistics personnel, and even cooks. All guns were armed, final inspections were carried out, and weather conditions, including wind speed and direction, were carefully studied.
