"Stormfront" by Kevin MacLeod
Notes:
- Dates are New System dates.
- Naval locations are approximate and the majority of the squadron, not every individual ship.
- While Montenegro "declared war" on Japan symbolically, they did not do so officially and are therefore not shown as at war.
- At this time, the Trans-Siberian Railroad was not fully complete.
