Rescue efforts have begun for the survivors of the Jon Torne. Several Imperial Navy aircraft have been dispatched from the Grandian mainland to replenish the INS Victorious's losses, and a pair has been launched from the Victorious itself to monitor the movements of the Wardrecht fleet as it retreats.

Back in Mienenstadt, the IFK and Mitronian paratroopers reportedly now have full control of the Margrave's Palace, liberating the 62 Modernist Miensburghers and 39 surviving Imperial Guards who were being kept as Traditionalist prisoners, and reuniting the King-Emperor Charles I of Grand, Belluterra, and Malo with his 14-year-old brother, His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince William of Grand, Belluterra, and Malo. All surviving leaders of the coup d'état who were found to still be in the palace have been placed under arrest.
Reportedly, the Modernist prisoners were not in good condition by the time they were liberated, having been starved for the duration of their stay in the palace, and many of them showing signs of having been beaten severely. Options are currently being considered for possibly evacuating some or all of the prisoners from the country in order to give them the medical treatment necessary to restore them to full health.
