Description:

IMPORTANT : it seems that Hobart DDG need RSA mod to work. Both EUROMOD et RSA must be above the Air Defense Destroyer mod.

South China Sea – Contested Reef Zone

China is entering a period of dangerous internal uncertainty.

President Xi has not appeared publicly for weeks. Competing factions within the Party, the PLA, and the maritime security apparatus are issuing contradictory guidance, leaving local commanders to improvise, often aggressively, in order to demonstrate loyalty.

The effects are increasingly visible at sea: erratic behavior, unclear rules of engagement, and confrontations driven more by personal initiative than by coherent strategy.

Against this backdrop, the Australian-flagged container ship SS Queenslanf Star is transiting the southern Spratly Islands, carrying a strategically sensitive cargo of advanced semiconductors sourced from Taiwan. Canberra has ordered a discreet but firm escort to ensure the shipment reaches Australian waters intact.

HMAS Sydney (D42) has been tasked with close protection.

The chosen route passes near a contested reef currently occupied by Chinese maritime militia elements. A PLAN destroyer, operating with unusually loose ROE, has assumed the role of self-appointed enforcer, while a second Chinese warship remains conspicuously distant, silent, passive, and unpredictable.

Australia is not the political target.
But it has become the stage.

Your mission is not to win a battle, but to prevent one.
Maintain control, avoid escalation, and leave the area with your forces, and the cargo, intact.

Escalation is someone else’s plan.

A big thank you to llinqs and phil99 for testing the mission, a huge thank you to MitcheLL600 for updating the DDG Hobart mod, and thanks again to phil99 for providing the files.
