Fire Navy blockade



The Fire Navy Blockade is a blockade located at the entrance of the Fire Nation, near the Mo Ce Sea. The blockade is made up of dozens of Fire Nation Cruisers that travel north and south to guard the naval entrance of the Fire Nation. If trying to enter the Fire Nation waters, the blockade quickly fires at the ship or submarine to keep the Fire Nation water safe. Admiral Zhao was chosen as leader of the blockade.

The blockade was first seen in "Winter Solstice Part 2: Avatar Roku". Team Avatar tries to enter the Fire Nation by flying high above the clouds, however they are still fired upon. Prince Zuko is also fired on and almost arrested. When Team Avatar makes it the Crescent Island, where Aang hoped to contact the spirit of Avatar Roku, Zhao lets Zuko pass, hoping to trap him and the Avatar on the island. He then detaches from the blockade to initiate the capture. They are forced to retreat when Roku destroys the Fire Temple to allow the team to escape.

The last appearance of the blockade was in "The Awakening", when Aang runs away from his friends' vessel. This time however, Aang simply swims under the blockade and safely enter the Fire Nation waters. The rest of the gang flew over the blockade on Appa and reunited with Aang.

During the Day of Black Sun, the invasion force assembled to occupy the Fire Nation Capital was able to get by the blockade with a large screen of steam made by the Foggy Swamp Tribe's warriors, not unlike what Katara did to protect her ship in "The Awakening". The invasion force was able to enter the Fire Nation without much opposition and link up with the group at the Black Cliffs.

It is unknown if the blockade is still in place now that the War is over. It is probable that in the interest of communication and international unity, Fire Lord Zuko has lifted the blockade.

It is Possible that one of Zuko's Guards now controls the Blockade all though never confirmed
