During its first day stationed on Tokoyami's the personnel on board encountered a player named AriZØna, admin on -ICE- Build and Kill. He attempted to turn the server population against AEF and join his cult to "Make Sandbox Great Again". This ended with him being laughed out of the server and a spike in AEF support.
=== Service Upgrades ===
As of January 20th, 2020 the Jade Cove has undergone upgrades to add the AN/SPS-48 expression 2 radar along with expression 2 LSO/PLAT camera, and jet blast deflectors.
=== During the Britannica Incident ===
On January 27th, 2020 on tokoyami's furry sandbox the air-wing and crew aboard the Jade Cove engaged a group of civilian craft that were lagging the server. Despite complaints by the players that were operating the "destructible boat" dupe, the strike group continued it's attack, sinking both craft multiple times. One player attempted to move the welded boat with their physgun causing the physics to break, hard crashing the server.
=== Post-Meta Upgrades ===
After the meta, Jade Cove's sister ships were fleshed out into full sisterships. All were used by Nagase extensively post meta, as well as published by her as a generic public carrier. Additionally, squadron art was done for the squadrons of each carrier.
