The AFRC Humanitarian Mission to the Blackhelm Confederacy represents the Astyrian Federation of Red Cross Societies' commitment to assisting the people of the Blackhelm Confederacy, administering vaccines, providing medical assistance, and handing out food and other supplies as needed in the most imporverished parts of the country.
Prelude
Shortly after the collapse of the Empire of Exponent in 1999, a humanitarian crisis broke out across large swathes of the Hesperidesian continent, as the former empire-wide supply system collapsed and successor states struggled to fill the void. In an effort to stave off full-blown catastrophe and mass starvation, the Astyrian Federation of the Red Cross deployed thousands of volunteers to the area. Througout the 2000's, as the Blackhelm Confederacy consolidated control over Western Hesperidesia and established itself as the successor state to the former empire, the mission took on another role of assisting refugees seeking to flee the country and aiding those caught in the conflict that erupted during the re-unification process.
Since then, the humanitarian mission has continued, with hundreds of Red Cross volunteers working in many of the most impoverished areas of the country, with operations primarily concentrated along the northern coast of the Blackhelm Confederacy, as well as a hospital ship serving people in the southern port-city of Redemption.

Hospital ships
The Hope and the Aesculapius are a pair of Aesculapius-class hospital ships stationed in the Blackhelm Confederacy. The Hope is stationed in the city of Redemption, of the southern coast of the country, and the Aesculapius services the northern coast from the city of Cathantaea.
The hospital ships provide for vital secondary and tertiary healthcare, supporting teams deployed to remote areas without access to such care. They are also outfitted with specalised medical teams, capable performing complex medical procedures otherwise not available in the areas of operation. Additionally, they also provide aid to the urban poor within these locations, who typically would not be able to access the kind of high quality care that these vessels are able to provide.
