The Sinking of P205, also known as the P205 Disaster occurred around 7:15 A.M. local time on September 3rd, 2021 when P205 an Anguille-class Landing Patrol Vessel struck a naval mine while operating in the river Râu drag within Ardeal as part of an ongoing Patrian Legion mission in the region. The resulting explosion sunk P205 and killed both crew members of the vessel almost instantly. Following search and rescue efforts and the recovery of the vessel by Notreceauen heavy wreckers, an investigation was launched. The ensuring effort, coordinated between the Patrian Legion, the Notreceauen National Intelligence Directorate and local authorities in Ardeal culminated in Operation Righteous Havoc, leading to several raids against anti-Patrian dissidents in Ardeal.
