Operation Poseidon, formally Lorecian Community Naval Force (LC NAVFOR), is a counter-piracy naval operation originally started in Putin Strait and Noordenstaat Sea, but later expanded to other bodies of water in Astyria. It is founded by the Lorecian Community, however other non-members also participate. It is headquartered in Bruningen, Noordenstaat.

The mission launched in January 2017 with a task in protecting international sea traffic through Putin Strait after increased reports of pirate attacks. Prior to the foundation of the naval force, the Security Committee of the Lorecian Community issued a resolution (Security Committee Resolution 241) which served as a legal basis for creation of the naval force. Not longer after the foundation of the naval force, several other Astyrian nations expressed interest in the LCNAVFOR, and after their participation, the Operation Poseidon became a starting point for the region-wide Anti-piracy initiative in Astyria.
