Gumrak

"This is missile destroyer Gumrak of the glorious Yuktobanian Navy. We cannot follow a Fleet Commander willing to sink one of his own ships. We will protect Prime Minister Nikanor. All ships who are with us, change course and follow us. Any vessel that does not follow the flagship will be fired upon."

- YN Gumrak commander, inciting fellow ships to defect to the 3rd Osean Fleet The Yuktobanian destroyer Gumrak is a missile destroyer of the Yuktobanian Navy. Near the end of the Circum-Pacific War, the Gumrak, alongside several other ships, intercepted the Osean 3rd Fleet in the Ceres Ocean, with Yuke Prime Minister Seryozha Viktorovich Nikanor onboard the Osean flagship OFS Kestrel. After hearing Nikanor's plan of restarting mutual peace between the warring countries over the Kestrel's loudspeakers, the fleet commander ordered his ships to kill Nikanor and sink the Kestrel, which led to the frigate Pitomnik's defiance of the fleet and its subsequent sinking. Shocked by the Pitomnik's destruction, the Gumrak's commander stated that "[they] cannot follow a fleet commander willing to sink one of his own ships", and later incited fellow destroyers to follow the Gumrak into the Osean fleet, sparking a chain reaction that would lead to a series of mass defections, both from disgruntled Yuktobanians and rogue Oseans wishing to continute with the war.

Trivia

 * The Gumrak's name is most likely based off that of Volgograd International Airport, a Russian airport that operated in the WWII era as Gumrak Airport.
