Resi Islands - Colonised.

11-10-2003, 10:17

Aurelius Blackdon looked with slight disdain around the isle that had fallen without a fight. Some empty naval dockyards were visible from the air, as he flew over in his helicopter, and reports showed Resi submarinal assets fleeing and then disappearing.

The war had been - overall - a disappointment to him. He had been looking forward to tactical deployments, the thrill of urban threat clearance, and the pacification of the natives. But the Resi Corporations' land assets had proved non-existant, and so it was a slightly disappointed Lord Commander who ordered his men to begin securing the facilities.

First priority had been MAD weapons - weapons that would explode the isles, planted fission bombs, cobalt boms, that sort of thing. But none had been found - not within satellite imaging range, at least, and anything below that would likely be ineffective.

The chemical pollutants were a problem, but the populace seemed to be adapted and the soldiers were all in NBC gear.

No, he thought. Not the glorious conflict I had hoped for. However, we still need to secure it.

"Pilot - send word to the fleets up at Nai isle. Tell them to finish securing their island too. Then I want both forces digging in and fortifying. And get us some support set up - if we get ortilleried, I want the offenders obliterated. You know what to do. Also, confirm with Santa Barbara that their forces - positioned as they were with total advantage - took that isle to the southwest? Dei isle or whatever it was, would you? And South Point?"

************************************

Massive trucks, some containing Sherwood Arrow anti-MLRBM silos and others containing parts for orbital defence weaponry began to move through the two isles. The ships took up defensive position around them.

************************************

<To: All involved attackers of the Resi Corporation>
<From: Whispering Voices Task Force>

Congratulations on a good job well done. Resistance was lacking. Defensive perimeters formed around Nai and Jai/Unus isles. In order to prevent possible insurgency, all ships without clearance to approach said isles risk being shot upon.

************************************

OOC:

Based on the fact Vthnaar pointed out the conflict was simply unworkable due to a total lack of respect from Resi to any other participants.

Der Angst

11-10-2003, 10:38

Markus Streicher arrived late.

When the small transporter landed, a few soldiers waited for him, greeted him.

Ashes. Only ashes.

"Where the hell are the Resi installations? I though this was a high- tech temple?"
"Sir, they have been eradicated, sir."

Streicher smiled.

Nice. I wonder if i`m even needed here.

He walked towards the provisional command center, an ex- Resi- bunker, which had been gassed by the DA forces. The corpses of the people that were once inside wedre now lined up outside, the snipers would probably find a use for them. One could never train enough.

While he watched the corpses, the general approached him.

"Ah, there you are... I`m honoured... Mr."
"Streicher. Department for biological warfare, field tests."
"Ah... Well, as you can see, there isn`t much remaining..."
"Doesn`t matter. Are there any survivors?"
"Ummm... yeah, sure. We have a few thousand right here, completely perhaps a few tens of thousands."
"Very good. Please, i would like to watch the objects. We can only use first- class materials."
"Sure. Please follow me."

After a while, they reach the prisoners camp. It`s just a small sector of the island, barbwire around it. On the ground, dead corpses, around them, survivors. Many cry, others have fallen totally apathic.

"Ah... Not exactly the best material..."

He notices a girl, perhaps eight, nine years old. It looks healthy.

"But not exactly the worst, either." He hesitates, watches the girl some longer. "Anyway, tell them they will be feed and clothed shortly. We care for our prisoners, after all. We just need to register them. Of course... including all neccessary procedures."
"Will do."
"Have the containers arerived?"
"Yes... some viruses, some macroscopic systems... I... I can`t..."
"Don`t worry. You wont be forced to watch it. Anyway, make sure that good- looking women, age 15- 25, are sorted out. We need something to please our men. Will be better than any psychologist. And if we cannot use anything, then it is bopred, heavily armed soldiers."

The general look up, slightly excited.

"Will do."
"Good. Let`s get to work."

---

Hours later, the eight- years old girl can be seen again. But now, it`s body is lifeless.

It ends in a container, destination Der Angst. The industry needs biomass for the organic tech. Even if it`s half- eaten up, like she is...

The soldiers moving the containers don´t care much about the victims of the first experiments, they are full of excitement... after they are done, they may get a free trip to the Pleasure dome where some of the female pows were brought to...

11-10-2003, 18:38

Tag until there's some sort of Reich policy. From the look of things, I'd say some fairly large chunks of Resi land will be DEAT and there'll be some major political fallout over conflicts of interest and assorted atrocities.

((OOC: Now wait just a damn minute... just because I don't have time for a war OOCly and all the time I'm on ICly is taken up by nitpicking other people's points doesn't mean that you can just barge in and colonize. WV, this is pathetic RP. I know you could say that about some of the stuff I've produced, but c'mon, taking over when I didn't really have a chance to defend is bullcrap. I'd be staisfied to start the war over because of all the potential for good RPing it had (it's not every day you wake up and everyone's against you :) ). However, if you wish to throw the potential out the window over an RP gone awry, then be my guest.

Oh, and no, I will have no knowledge of IC events in the war thread if we start it over. This means that I will treat Melkor and the PCC as allies, and I won't know the scale this conflict will be on. Sorry for my lack of "respect", but I really don't think of it as such. I rather had a lack of time in which to read all the well-worded posts on the thread. Once they started piling up, it was far too late to RP all of them. I hope you all understand...

OOC: If thats how it'll be that's how it will be. Because I don't want to end it with one side ignoring the other and the other side claiming victory, cuz thats no fun. Because what happened, JUST as the plans were about to be unleashed, several players- notably Resi, and then Melkor-- had RL issues to handle. And then some other people kinda jumped in before the RP could respond, so it turned into a big mess for OOC reasons.

So I'm ok with starting over. But, several conditions for this to work.

1. The Reich has to be involved. Im not too sure whats going on with the Reichs players, but if they all decide the Reich will not, after all, get involved, then that pretty much kills the whole damn plotline. ChristiCorp at the very least should be, so the thing is still consistent, but preferably the ones who sent forces too, since they're all part of my IC plan.

2. The order of things should ROUGHLY be considered to already happened - I will just be posting my posts that I made for the below, and I suggest everyone else who can just do the same.

A. a Reich mobilization, Resi and allies mobilization.
B. Devils Desert, Menelmacar, EOTED mobilization.
C. A Reich attack at the same time as PCC betrayal attack.
D. Melkor's, DA's, allies begin mobilization.

Anyone who gets (or got) involved after D. should wait for Resi's response to bring everything up to date before posting.

Because thats the way it was agreed upon, OOCly, that it would happen. The key thing that *I* wanna make clear is that anyone who *planned* this out-- the Reich, Devils Desert and Menelmacar-- gets the first 'moves' so to speak. Everyone else is reacting belatedly to their allies calls. (EOTED is an exception since they aren't mobilizing a lot of ground troops, and its pretty quick to just power up a gravfleet. Some others may be like this too. Melkor is a bit of a wild card since he is going through some RL issues now too, so he may have to be squeezed in later if he still wants to be involved. This is OK since ICly, Melkor is allied with the Reich and likely would be part of this.)

3. Space tech yes, impossible tech no. There are a lot of people involved who know a great deal of physics and science and we should all look to them for some help on anything needs clearing up.

4. Semi-invite. I dont want to be elitist by restricting nations that Im not aware of from RPing, on the other hand I dont want a bunch of random people jumping in constantly. So I'd say, limit to the mentioned nations and their allies. Anyone else is going to have to extensively RP their arrival on the scene, particularly if they're making an enemy of the superpowers involved in this war.

5. OOC discussion to be kept to a minimum on the new thread. Any big arguments should be on a separate thread. No 1-line RPing or lameness in general.

6. No use of OOC knowledge to make gains for oneself ICly. Goes for everyone.

7. If you already made a response/attack, keep it the same or at least as same as possible to what it is.

These last five are common sense really. Shoulda been like that for the other thread(s).

Is all that acceptable?

Maybe a list of people involved would be good too. Too many got involved way too quickly.

Agreed. Suppose we should then agree on a framework for this mess, put that in the ooc thread, and go from there. Sound good?

Sure. I've stated on the previous page what I think should be a rough framework, I say we go off that since it seems agreeable. Condense and summarize and add if needed/able or something. I dunno. I however, am through for this evening. Gnight :D

12-10-2003, 10:26

OOC:

Alright. Winding back to this...

Troop summary as requested for the Whispering Voices expeditionary force. There are two sets of what is detailed below, one Whispering Voices the other Hushed Breaths/Quiet Laughter/Murderous Tendencies/Endless Regrets [Whispering Voices could easily field another fifteen such expeditions if it chose, so instead of boosting numbers with those other forces their just going to be there to provide a different RP style angle if I choose]:

25 Selkie CVF carriers (these are about half the size of a Nimitz)
100 Redcap destroyers
100 Boggart frigates
100 Trafalgar Sunset hunterkiller submarines
50 Vanguard ballistic missile submarines
1,000 'David Seaman' class Goalkeeper platforms
200 'Michael Owen' class launches
100 'George Best' troop carriers
500 'Paul Simon' mobility ships

The "David Seaman" is essentially an unmanned Goalkeeper on an automated pontoon. They can lower 'subnets' (nets with weights on, that cause the David Seaman to sink under the weight of a torpedo rather than the actual manned ships behind it). Their main disadvantage is that in order to keep the pontoons light, they have to be reloaded physically by crewmen in the 'Michael Owen' launches: so under massive heavy barrage, they eventually break down.

500 Mig-39 advances
500 Su-37 advances
50 C-170 Hercules
200 CH47-D Chinooks
10 CH54 Skycrane

The above aircraft are actually on a base in Santa Barbaran lands, but within easy range of Resi island.

250,000 infantry
20,000 artillerymen
2,500 Crusader artillery platforms
2,500 MLRS artillery platforms
20,000 Starstreak air-defence troops
5,000 Starstreak VABs
100 Sherwood Arrow batteries (anti-MLRBM)
5,000 Leclercs
15,000 VABs
5,000 Apache AH64-D Longbows
2,000 Comanche
5,000 Black Hawk
100,000 armoured personnel division
40,000 Specops (35,000 army, 5,000 Navy, 5,000 paratroops)

There we go. As a rule, although the things are directly ganked from modern tech they've been updated ('better' armour, more stored-kills per vehicle, planes way faster). The main advantage is they can co-ordinate the entire force via the ARES system, which allows auto-targeting, firepower splitting, and so on over a period of under a second.

The soldiers have a variety of smart-linked gun that allows ARES to aim their weapons at unperceived threats, and fire it too. Instead of massive mechanical things, it's a very elegant series of electrodes in the sleeves which exert currents causing the muscles to 'spasm' in position. On the positive side, this is very light and means that random people can't steal the smartlinks. On the negative side, if a trooper's smartlink is destroyed, he has to wait til he can get to a decent size supply depot before they can configure him a new one.

All troops are in full bodyarmour (with NBC protection).

200 Wisps
5 Inquisitors (Endless Regrets)
1 'Flying Fortress' (Murderous Tendencies)
10 Lords and Ladies (Hushed Breaths)

Wisps were used in the Knootoss war. They're pretty secret, generally, so research will need to be done about them by you if you need to know.
Inquisitors are like people. They have swords (with batteries, makes them look like lightning swords), and magic doesn't work on them or around them. They'll be travelling with the big units.
Lords and Ladies would be all-powerful ... apart from the fact they'll be with the Inquisitors, so have no power. They're like Irish folk-tale fae, with glamour and so on.

As for positions: the fiefdom forces are around Nai isle, Whispering Voices is around Unus/Jain isle (or at least, heading that way). Satellite scans have found nothing military on those two islands (including silos) according to you, and sonar and deep sonar drones have found no submarines around them.

I've not *actually* done anything with them apart from scans, tentative flyovers with AWACs. Vegana's hovercraft actually overtook my forces heading to Nai isle, so will get there first. Planes are scrambled, ready to intercept. Ship point defences (GRASER goodness) are ready to field assaults. The troop carriers are positioning to allow troop deployment.

Anyway, that was the OOC summary.

Resi -You can put that if you want as some background, but as Iesus is not going to be participating as far as I know, it just wouldn't be the same. Really, that part of the story doesnt need retconning, I think its the war most people are concerned about.

CoVar, a few mercenaries perhaps after the Reich initial mobilization/attack, but dont pull some huge army from nowhere. I have lots of forces in the CI, but I've been RPing their placement and mobilization and such for a while.

Anyway, i've bumped the official OOC resi war thread, might be best to continue this discussion if needed there, for tidiness.

How the heck can Iesus not participate? Without him, it's just a war for no reason.

Old Map of CI from CI Homepage, by Resi

and the bulk of mercenaries are based and trained on my Corporate Island, but not all the rest are stationed in several other nations and I have a large force still deployed to "New" Jigoku. Besides, as soon as the war started I would be evacuating the bulk of the personnel on my island in case it spread. I would say a couple of hundred thousand, the rest being evacuated out of the CI or staying on my islands. Does that sound alright?

14-10-2003, 01:58

Iesus participated and then devolved his control of the Reich war effort to Vegana. As previously said, most people don't have the patience or time to rehash posts that no-one really cared about. The war went downhill after the first attack response - that's where other nations will get involved. RPs can be fitted in during the actual war ... no reason to retcon further back, especially since I notice other nations are mysteriously saying they're becoming involved (Isla de Penguinata) that weren't so originally.

OOC:deployment only. I'll let Will do the honour of the first attack.

The forces was gathering in the great battle against the Enslaver. Horrid tales were told and many posters showed Resi Robots whipping the poor empaths and the population of Resi. The Enslaver must be defeated, ”Operation Crucial Victory” would ensure this. The brave young men and women from The Reich was packed in narrow compartments to be ready to

Standing on the command bridge Commander Jovanovic looked out over the strait. His large group was separate from the main AG Hammer but it was much more agile. AS would be apparent soon enough for The Enslavers troops.

*Off the Coast of Resi Corp, Army Group Hammer Floatilla*

Feld Marschall Walter von Brauchitz, former commander of the largest Scottan Army in the Scottan War, now fighting for the other side, surveyed the coast of Resi using sattelite pics. Several aides stood around him. They had gotten a cable from Reichsburg earlier that day that spoke of the King making his way to the floatilla when Army Group Crusader Joined up with Army Group Hamer.

It was an enormous Floatilla. 5 Enormous Koenig Class Carriers accompanied the fleet along with thousands of Large Iesus Class Transports, capable of transporting 20,000 men or 150 tanks. Three Battleships sailed along with the floatilla and over 15 missile cruisers held up the flanks. Beneath the waters the infamous Submarine RNV John Bell Hood patrolled the Fleet's path along with 5 other Hood Class submarines. Several douzain Black low lieing SDI Ships sailed along with the fleet. It was an enormous undertaking but these fleets were essentially like floating cities with a population of 5 million. They normally stayed in port to cut down expenses, but when needed they could move quickly. As Army Group Hammer had already been deployed and won a victory over Esamopia, it was deemed the best candidate to go after Resi even though its task was technically to fight Communism. Fighters flew covering missions constantly and the SDI ships whose insides were top secret, stayed on high alert.

Brauchitz looked at the latest tellegramme from Reichsburg, "The Cat in the Hat must be arrested and put in prison." it said.

"Relay this tellegramme to the Captain of the lead Transport. He will know what to do." Brauchitz instructed one of his comm officers.

In the Space The Reich Streitkräfte still slowly moved towards the allied fleets. Soon they would be within reach of the hated enslaver. Positioning themselves to deliver their deadly load of EMP-bombs and the other weapons especially developed to take care of robotic soldiers. This was not only a war for The Reich but for humanity.

*Reichsburg, Reichskamphen*

The King sat in the war room in the Palace. "I need to be there right now." he said aloud in a frustrated fashion.

"You are not as young as you once were..." his head physician warned him.

"I don't care...I'm going." the King replied. "Send the orders to the Spacefleets to begin bombardment. The Armada should have already recieved my previous order."

*AG Hammer floatilla*

V-4 Missiles *OOC: remember these destroy 3 city blocks...big missiles* screamed overhead of the floatilla and slammed into the coastline of Resi Corp right around Resi City. The second volley released an EMP wave which would presumably kill all electronics within range. The Floatilla was still out of range but most of Resi City would have been hit.

OOC: Before you respond, Resi, let Vegana RP the space attack, thats his job.

While the EMP blasts were finishing out another volley of V-4's moved in and struck the coast line around Resi City as super fast Triune Class transports zoomed through the waves escorted by several Merrimac class gunboats. The troops inside were those of Infinate Loving, arguably the most fanatical Christians within the Reich. They zoomed in the bay towards Resi City as the Rest of the Floatilla began to spread out to cover a wider area.

An enormous V-4 launch then came from the heart of the Reich itself sending 1500 of these missiles into the greatest factories and population centres outside of Resi City. Air fields, power grids, and command and control centres all around the country were a majour target. (OOC: This should cause ALOT of damage. The V-4 is a non nuclear ICBM with a capacity to destroy 3 city blocks)

A swarm of 1000 Luftwaffe fighters from all of the gathered carriers and some from bases farther away croweded the skies above Resi guarding a flight of bombers of the same number and challenging Resi to come up and fight.

((OOC: Oh come on. You can't expect to pull that stuff and not have me respond. I don't care how lightening-fast his attack is, we have to respond after a bombardment of that nature.

Currently I'm having a bit of trouble finding a thread for referencing to. Once I find it, I can use it to prove that one of my defences isn't GODMODing. You Resi fanatics out there should know what I'm talking about. :wink: ))

OOC: I believe its because the space attack comes at the same time as this, so there's zero time for any response since 0-0=0. T minus 0, and all that.

Anyway... argh. Attacks on this thread? The new war thread has kinda moved to International Incidents, but not really since someone decided to spam that. That could be the 'background thread.' But then this has the post-invasion stuff happening in the beginning.... continuity.... broken.... no mod powers to.... move thread posts into chronological placings.....! Must..... think. Can't... think.

Well if this is the war thread, the first coupla posts have to be edited I think as they come after the war. And if its the international incidents thread... argh, link Resi?... then stuff should go there. Despite the spammoid.

Whichever thread we choose thats gotta be it, though.

Let's just use this thread for the war thread, and the other thread can be the origins thread.

So you're RPing for the entire Reich? It kinda goes out of continuity (and we'd be able to spot your carriers coming from halfway across the globe due to our GlobeSATs, and thus send troops to intercept them).

In case you're wondering, I have yet to find that damn thread. It deals with energy sheilds, and the like. It's actually a pretty good explaination, but I just know I'll be accused of GODMODing if I claim to have a city-wide energy shield and I can't prove it.

OOC: Yes, you will be accused of that haha. However, Energy shields cant stop EMP. Granted you can see them and try to intercept them, but it is a large naval task force and it would truly be suicide, if you want to draw it back even farther than that and play out a naval engagement I am fine with that but I prefer just to get there and get to the point. Vegana and I will RP for the Reich. I normally am commander of Reich forces as it is but my time is at a minimum. Plus, if you have a city wide defense shield there are always ways to get around it or through it so I dont think that will do much good. As far as the shield goes...Ill believe you just tell me what kind of shield it is so I have a basis. Is it a star trek type shield. We have done some work with energy shields. Infact, the V-5 has one of them. We don't feel the need to encapsulate entire cities in them though. Plus...I think the EMP would disable those energy shields as well. Just fill me in about the scientific principles.

Lord Commander Aurelius lounged backwards in the form-fitting leather chair of the communications suite of the HCCS Ozymandias, his lazy eyes drinking in the visual feedback that was being sent to him from all areas of his fleet. As was customary, sitting a little behind him, two to each side, were the leaders of the militaries of the fiefdoms that had come when called. He pursed his lips slightly as he viewed the forces that were following. All aboard the Playbus, he thought to himself, and laughed out loud.

He had done that a lot, as if privy to some secret joke, and it was a true test of loyalty that those gathered - the Caliph's Zulkir Moahi of Murderous Tendencies, the leader of the Omiri tribe of Quiet Laughter, the third in command of the Ordi Templi Sancti knightly order of Endless Regrets, and Ciolan, fae lord of Cwmbhéir Sleáth in Hushed Breaths - that they had not spoken about it.

He turned his chair to face them, arranged as they were about him. His face went abruptly cold, unnerving after the smirk he had been wearing not a moment before.

"Now," he said - voice a little harsh from sea salt air, a slight drawl that served to denote him as aristocratic. "We are attacking here ... and here. At Jain and Unus, with the majority of the forces. Nai Isle we are sending pacificators to, along with a third of the total ground forces. Fleet position will be maintained ... here. The fleet will be split with the ground forces, because the passage from Jain to Nai isle is brief - we'll be able to provide air cover from just ... here. Anything more serious and we can split our attention between the two."

He stopped briefly, brought up a display on an overhead projector. "Alright ... firstly, once we're in this channel, we're going to cover it with mines. They're remote detonated and can be commanded from the fleet, so we won't have friendly fire incidents. Oh, and they have dead man's switch ability - in the event of terrorism or simple attack, they will remotely travel towards the nearest moving, non-Voices target. Secondly, the nano machines; thirdly, the robots. We're responding to both of these problems via a variant of the project Nephilim - not only do the creatures live from extracted copper and iron, but they carry organisms that live on nanobots. Because nano engineering is so (comparatively clumsy), and nanobots so limited in function, we are confident and indeed trial runs have demonstrated the efficacy of the Silvered Nephilim. Should the worst come to the worse, we have several other Nephilim variants ... although, use of such a potentially hazardous weapon will only take place in the event of Melkorian hostility."

Seeing he held his audience captive, he continued. "Our submarine fleets are scouring the waters and sea bed. Nothing. Resi must have, for once, felt good enough to secure the allies of the future. If only I had time to read the papers ... but anyway." Yes. It seems that the Atlantis submarines will be close to the capital - more than that, satellite imaging hasn't picked up. However, since they're under attack, that makes sense. So ... we avoid the fighting on the mainland, and try to take over these islands. I'm sure one of the islands contains something worthwhile."

OOC:

The rewind was not put in place so new allies of Resi could mysteriously get involved. The only ally Resi had that I can remember actually being present in the previous war was Eris Kallisti and Telcordia - feel free to correct me and provide links.

In short: if you weren't in the old war, don't even start to deploy yet. This especially applies to Isla de Penguinata and Lareq. Thank you, Pissed off Americans, for at least taking the time to respond in character as opposed to spamming numbers in Resi's defence.

I'd also like to ask Tarrican to moderate this, if Resi will agree, because I'm *this* close to just going back to the start of the Colonisation thread. This rewind was put in place to deal with OOC problems with the actual war, not start the whole thing over whilst Resi found more allies.

And in my personnel situation Resi asked me to join be TG. But in respect for you Whispering Voices i will hold fire until resi confirms he wants my aid.

Toby Pratt, Supreme Strategic Core Commander (SSCC) of the PrattCo Conglomerate Integrated Theatre Defence Organisation (PCC-ITDO) Command, Control and Communications Theatre Group (CCCTG), and Standing Vice Chairman on the Board of Directors, leaned back in his leather chair and puffed silently on his Goleta Plain cigar. The smoke drifted through the rays of sunlight getting through the top of the underground chamber that the military leaders had gathered at.

Actually, it was false sunlight, meant to make morale better in the new extended underground habitat zones (EUHZ). They didn’t need it to see, of course, with even the desk jockeys equipped with the latest in infrared and advanced optical sensing gear. Many had genetically enhanced vision, optical or even neural implants, and underground warfare was a part of basic training - right along with zero-g combat tactics.

“My Carrier Battle Group must be included in this assault, General!” exclaimed SCS Vrontack of the Orbital Operations Theatre Group (OOTG). “Almost three fighter wings, including the Type Twos, we can provide aerospace cover. And our destroyers and cruisers are the best in the fleet,” he added shamelessly.

“With all due respect to your orbital fighters, Subcommander, the Expeditionary Corps is more than capable for any air threats,” cut in SCS Layette of the 4th Air Corps. “And everyone is aware of the additional capacity our forces have to provide close support for ground troops.”

SCS Sodgard of the 7th Army Group didn’t reply to this, but felt like saying, I’m not aware of that, mister Layette.

“What I need to know, boys, is where best to concentrate the Deep Interdiction Squadron,” said SCS Franklin Colth, referring to the naval Hama battleships, and the six types of cruisers, frigates and destroyers.

“Mister Colth,” said Toby Pratt at last, breaking the chatter with his bellow. “Your forces will be placed prior to the assault in a position to attack the enemy coastline in two locations, Delta to the southwest of Resi City, and X Ray, between West and East Dei. When it begins you give ‘em hell.”

Quietly, Colth replies, “Would that be hell with chemical munitions or not?”

Pratt thinks a minute, letting out another puff from his monstrous cigar, his yellow stained teeth dull in the dim, smoky atmosphere of the armored chamber. “Gas the cities and any secondary bioid targets. Don’t bother with the robot infantry; they won’t be effected by morale or the chem.”

“Can we briefly review the sequence of operations?” asks Murtin Beadwacker, the aged veteran with the bionic arm. Like his compatriots in the OOTG, Vrontack and Jubbins, he was still getting used to being on solid ground again after the zero-g environment. He was helplessly fascinated with the way the smoke curled when rising, compared to how a gas leak or smoke in orbit looked.

“Iesus Christi and the Reich will make threatening moves toward Resi Corporation,” begins SSCC Pratt, now clamping his cigar firmly between his teeth as he talks, “And our forces will be moved to a close defensive posture with Resi’s territories and assets. In particular, if you can get within point-blank range of the-- oh, what are they called, Star Strides?-- the enemy airspace fighters. Simultaneously, the attack begins at oh-nine-hundred hours, give or take. I and the 1st Orbital Fleet will begin with fleet-barrage missile launches against the enemy ships at close range, aiming for a broad and even coverage of all enemy crafts. Projections for a two-minute initial engagement, and we have more than enough missiles to get them all. Several times!”

Here there was a low chuckle from most of the men, and they knew he wasn't joking. Pratt was working up an energy with his common-man-with-a-plan attitude. There were no disloyalties here, that was certain.

“Other weapons will be used as necessary. Satellites and other enemy vessels will be removed by the Second Orbital Fleet. Along with the attack we will transmit a message to our allies in the Reich. This will be paralleled to our own forces through MP1. There’s no chance of message interference, but we’ll use above-GovLevEnc quantum encryption nonetheless. The order will be given to the OOTG to move to a position over Resi Corp’s island and prepare for Distance Fire Support. We, meaning you, Murtin, will be supplying surface forces with Drones and Supermules from your MLG. Resi’s defenders will be given a statement warning them to, essentially, withdraw or die... I’ll phrase it differently, of course. With any luck we can save a lot of money in munitions and fuel.”

Pratt pauses here. Saving money? Since when did I care about that? You’ve been hanging around Bob too long.

“Sodgard’s Crazy Wing will be either stationed on Resi’s island, or based in transports waiting from very near Resi’s island, or likely a mix of both. Either way, when the ground attack begins, they will be surprised and overwhelmed. Both the OOTG and the AOTG will kindly provide aerospace cover. We will, throughout all this, be working closely with Reich forces, who will help punch through Resi's outer defenses-- this is also very simple for our Devil’s Desert allies, and for the OOTG since many Reich orbital ships are the same types as our own. We will coordinate, from the top, our forces such that friendly kills are kept to a minimum. Finally, ground based bombers and orbital Opposition Assault craft will begin a general offensive to grab ground assets, in case the Resi Corporation leadership fails to meet our demands.”

“What are our demands, anyway?” SCC Jubbins asks.

“Oh, the usual. Huge reparation fees, transference of Resi Corporation stock and assets into the Conglomerate, maybe use his island for a military base. A lot of nations will be involved, and that will all have to be coordinated. Who knows,” Toby answers with a humorless laugh.

“I’ve downloaded MP1’s tactical schematics,” remarks SCS Ludo Gabbins. “Do we have mine authorization or not? Our intelligence says Reich battle plans include a naval blockade. Will we be sharing that information with Reich forces too?”

Pratt frowns. “Calm down, son, and yes. However, you’ll have to use your own judgement as to where and if to mine. We don’t want any friendly fires, remember.”

“Any other questions before we go over the MP1 schematics?”

TCC Vlad Borogard, naval commander, hitherto silent, perks up. He is stationed on the PCC territorial expansion in the Corporate Islands and has family there. “Sir, what are the chances of retaliation against Islando de Corporacion?”

Pratt is grim as he replies. “Strong. Defensive forces will have to be entrenched and prepared for the worst. We will bolster defenses as strategic needs allow, but for now our main objective is to overwhelm the enemy quickly and avoid a war of attrition. However, this is mainly for political reasons, as we would have no problems winning such a war.”

“And what happens when the elves want a piece of the pie?”

“They get some pie. There’s enough pie in Resi Corp to feed everyone.”

“And other hangers on?”

“They hang on, but your forces will be closest. In the end, we can all negotiate, because if they try to take more than their share of Resi, we’re in a position to turn it into a shining piece of glass in the middle of the Corporate Islands.”

“And then no one is happy, and then what, they’re going to wage war with us and our allies for a lump of glass?”

“Exactly. So no one wants that, and everyone knows that we would do it if pushed.”

“What if they push anyway?”

“Then they don’t push again, General.”

Their crews and officers have been thoroughly and effectively trained; they are calm and will follow their orders and their initiative.

The Reich and their allies have begun their attack on our mutual allies in the Resi Corporation. We have numerous enemy contacts by satellite, mobile and ground-based CCCTG networks, approaching GeoSynch orbit over the Corporate Islands. Surface forces have approached within hundreds of kilometers of Resi Corporations territories, and the outer islands have already detected enemy scouts passing. The Santa Barbarian outpost, very near Resi Corporations’, is threatened and we are hastening our defenses. It is a shame we did not organise early enough to launch a pre-emptive strike on the Reich, so now we must hold them off as best we can. Please coordinate with our military commanders on how best to provide an effective defense.

Anyone with satellites will see more than a dozen GADTG army groups based in Santa Barbara begin to mobilize. Thousands of tanks are on the move. Literally millions of personnel are involved in the massive operation, including civilian workers and merchant marines, soldiers and pilots and officers and truck drivers. The First Air Corps having already left for the Corporate Islands, the Second now begins combat air patrol of the mainland. Hundreds of ships of all sizes fire up their reactors and put to sea.

Aboard the Atmos, Pratt orders the computer to plot target solutions for the current data, which is fed from the global quantum network into the MP1 Node Complex aboard each ship. The dozens of PCC warships’ computers have coordinated the missiles they will be firing, in hundreds of thousands of scenarios in near-instantaneous simulations, have computed vectors and required force to eliminate enemy targets. Unknown to anyone outside of the system, they have chatted together and drawn up multitudes of angles of attack for concentrated fire distribution.

The ships make no threatening moves toward the Resi Corporation air-space planes within range. Indeed, they orbit, oriented toward the approaching Reich-allied forces in a show of defense. Inside them, like foam-steel rods, the Multiple Magnetic Autoloader Tube Systems (MMATS) silently and frictionlessly extend the launch area out, offering death to all who oppose. Missiles in the bays are not yet loaded, but when the time comes they will be able to load, on average, two missiles per second, per MMATS.

In the Atmos, a mix of over twenty thousand Standard Missiles, Greater Missiles and even the expensive Fusion Missiles, loaded with mixtures of chemical, explosive and armor piercing munitions, wait patiently for their long-awaited use. Throughout the fleet, thousands of missiles, billions of dollars worth, are ready to be launched within a space of a few seconds.

The ships are designed with multiple roles in mind. Right now, they have deployed on an Area Assets Defense (AAD) mission, which in all observable ways, is the same deployment as a Fleet Assault (FA) operation, or for that matter an Orbital Combat Patrol (OCP) mission or Fleet Defense (FD) operation. The ships move in a coordinated, but seemingly random formation, fluid and shifting as needs change.

Right now, they orbit in close proximity to the Resi Corporation crafts, territory, and have a clear view and range of many Resi Corporation satellites.

It begins.

Targeting the Resi Corporation ships, the OOTG opens fire with everything they’ve got. At point blank range, blanketing every enemy ship they have detected.

In one second, thousands of missiles fly out of the MMATS, accelerated to hypervelocity using advanced coilgun technology, further boosted by drives of their own. Guided by the MP1 system and its “children,” the missiles systems receive calculations and controls for attitude and articulation control, spin stabilization, three-axis stabilization, including all necessary and related subsystems.

At close range, with no warning , with every numerical advantage, the deadly barrage will reach its target in almost 1 second and continue for a full minute until Resi’s space forces are hammered into oblivion.

-
T minus 60 seconds

A secure transmission is sent to all involved Reich nations and their allies.

<Begin Transmission>

We have executed our strategic plan, and have achieved surprise. At this moment the PCC has begun to fire on the Resi Corporations orbital and satellite assets as planned. The second contingent, a distance away from the first near Resi’s forces in orbit, will begin long-range fire of any remaining Resi Corp crafts after the first contingent has fired for one minute. To our allies in the Reich, and supportive nations allied against Resi, this is a reminder not to treat PrattCo Conglomerate forces as hostiles, and not to fire on remaining Resi Corporation ships until our first orbital contingent has gained a safe distance.

Ground forces are launching their main attack on the West Coast of Resi’s island, supported by our naval and air forces. Our twin hammers will catch Jae Resi’s head in the middle.

I recommend our forces continue to cooperate in achieving our mutual goals. I am dispatching a message to those powers still allied to the Resi Corporation, informing them on our behalf that their forces will not be fired upon, if they withdraw from their defense of Resi and the Corporate Islands. I am also informing them that the Corporate Islands as a whole is not going to be attacked, but our target is Resi Corporation. If this is unacceptable please reply.

Once defeated, the administration of the chaotic Corporate Island of Resi Corp must be handled fairly and wisely. It is inherently dangerous to have so many forces, though allied, concentrated in any single area for too long. I trust that in our negotiations, it will be noted that this particular operation was essentially masterminded by the PrattCo Conglomerate with active and bold aid from our Reich, Devils Desert and other important allies.

At the same time, with clock-like efficiency, the combined surface assault begins. While Resi’s orbital forces are occupied with the OOTG and the attacking Reich fleets, the smooth-hulled trimaran warships gliding through Corporate Islands waters launch missiles of their own. Military targets on the Resi Corporation island are virtual magnets for air- and sea-launched tactical and cruise missiles. Though not as fast as kinetics, they scream through the air at varying altitudes, below radar and above. Faarston, Largi and Resi City are all targeted as well.

The four Hamas class battleships aim their massive 300 mm guns at targets up to 35 kilometers inland, using boosted semi-guided artillery shells, launching the titanic projectiles onto any targets they can reach. Shore based missile and gun batteries, air bases, robot forces, even war factories. Dozens of guided missile cruisers, destroyers, and frigates launch their attacks covering Resi City, South Point, West and East Dei, and all known military installations and defenses. Meanwhile, substantial forces are dedicated to detecting and defending against the Resi Corp’s submarinal fleets, while another force provides cover.

The rear echelon PCC warships idly watch as the Whispering Voices and Reich naval fleets and transports approach the doomed corporations’ island. On the decks, when they pass, several hundreds of the PCC crewmen gather on the railings to salute their Devils Desert neighbors, and Veganan, Iesus and Reichskamphen ships.

-
In the air, the Maritime Air Force Projection Squadron and the 4th Air Corps send Fighter and Bomber Groups, targeting Resi Corporation military aircraft and secondary ground targets; again, mostly military and some industrial facilities are chosen. Air Theatre Dominance (ATD) is now the mission. Hundreds of planes cover a wide range of area, the Bullwhip fighters eagerly seeking out enemy aircraft and providing cover for the bombers, naval and ground forces, hoping to take advantage of the few minutes of confusion the Resi Corporation human leadership would be in.

-

The 7th Army Group, nearly a quarter of a million men and thousands of the latest Gavel tanks in addition to the upgraded Enforcers, in place and ready, moves against Resi. The 16th-24th Air Assault Divisions, with thousands of troops in hundreds of ground-attack helicopters, set out on the short journey from one Corporate Island (with advance units from naval-based carriers just off the coast) to the south and southwest portion of Resi’s. They plow through the air at high speeds, protected from on high by orbital fighters, platforms, and allied aircraft, and from below by the Fleet Defense frigates, with the variety of anti-air weapons of the NOTG ships.

A transmission to all Resi Corporation’s allies.

<Begin Transmission>

Having carefully reviewed the options, we have ensured that the Resi Corporation will fall. It is time one corporation may speak against the atrocities committed by that organisation, no matter the cost to ourselves. We have allied with Iesus Christi, the Reich, and other members of the coalition sent against Resi.

However, this is not an unprovoked attack against the Corporate Islands or the Corporate Coalition. Rather, we are removing from a dangerous position of political power the Resi Corporation. Join us, or join us not, but we urge you to reconsider your alliance to the Resi Corporation before you send members of your nations to die for it. It is clear that, when faced with the overwhelming array of the coalition, including the entire Reich, the Devils Desert powers, and with Melkor’s and EOTED’s forces on the way, the Resi Corporation cannot possibly hope to stand.

Stand aside, and the coalition will not harm your people, nation or engage your military forces. We have no quarrels with you.

Please respond while we still have this opportunity to save lives.

Sincerely,

Sonya Chang
Vice-Chairman of the Board

With a hearty laughter the commander of the Streitkräfte watched the signal as the Santa Barbarian bombardment started. Hundreds of Veganian fighters went for the closest enemies as the Star Spears started firing of torpedoes at enemy vessels.

”God Bless mr. Pratt, God Bless” Commander Subotic raised his head and looked at the assembled officers. ”This gentlemen will be a great day, and maybe we can minimize human casualties as the Enslaver mainly uses robots for his evil plots. Today we will use an E-bomb, to show the world that one can use efficient EMP-strikes without having to resign to nuclearbombings and destroy God allmightys makings. God is Great!” Subotic signaled to the ensigns to release their packages.

The Saltshakers release the packets, speeding towards mainland Resi set to exploding at high altitude to assure of the Comptoneffect that would render the electronics useless. More than a hundred of these were fired as a first attack, half of these at Resi city. Subotic knew that the kinetic strikes that would follow surely would kill innocent people. But that was war, and the people needed to be liberated from their mechanic masters. Operation Crucial Victory had to be successful, for humanity.

I certainly have the lineage to be here, no doubt as a respected member of the Coalition I have fought with Resi both on the Coporate Islands war and the Melkor Reckoning conflict.

The massive shielded fleets of Lareg began to approach Resian waters, their magnificent hulls gleamed in the dying night sky and where quickly camoflaged again. Their presence would be like a nail in the eye of the Foe while friends and allies alike rejoiced and were heartened by the company of such brave and true captains of war.

OOC:
You weren't in the last war, at all, so the massive shielded fleets of Lareg are either going to still be in Lareq, or turned (alongside the rest of your country), into disparate floating atoms of helium. If you want to be in this war - which Resi appears to have abandoned again - you can play by the rules as does everyone else.

Three missile strike the coastline, destroying most of the primary harbor of Resi City and two residential city blocks. However, after that...
"Madam! You know this thing is untested!"
"Certain death or possible saftey, you pick. We've got to show our power somehow, and as we haven't yet ascertained the position of our attackers, this is the best we can do. Turn on the sheild."
"*sigh* Yes madam..."

Around the parameter of Resi City, a tin line of ground disappears, and at once a giant wave of energy sweeps forth from the soil, striking a point just above a large tower topped with a sphere, causing the sphere to glow red (we modified it from what's listed in the thread). The missiles collide with this, and are vaporized upon impact.

"200, my Prince. Male and female. Inquisitorial dropships can be scrambled immediately, though. The salvation of souls is no laughing matter. I shall liason with my counterpart in Whispering Voices on this immediately."

"Thank you. As for the fleet, we shall have to request permission from CENNA before our fleet can play a part in the space battle." He rose, signalling the end of the council meeting.

OOC: Sorry, offline for two days...grr. The EMP missiles were designed by Akilliam who is brilliant with scientific things, probably the most learned on nation states. I do not doubt their effectiveness or plausibility. The EMP equipped V-4's do not explode that is why there were so few of them. Instead the entire area where the gigantic warhead would be is filled by an EMP emitting device. This emmits and electro magnetic pulse or EMP wave. This wave makes all unprotected electronics useless and if you didnt know much about them i doubt many things would have been protected...plus it is EXCEEDINGLY expensive to do that. These EMP waves will go through energy shields etc as they are just electromagnetic waves and will kill electronics for douzains of miles as far as the V-4s go.

Therefore, these things would knock out your infantry if they are robots and kill your shield generators and power and computers and pretty much everything. It would be chaos. And if that doesnt work scientists have developed ways of getting around that shield. Also, the things in space are dropping HUGE amounts of EMP munitions. This would have done great damage all accross your country along with the V-4s which are not nukes but hideously destructive regular munitions if you read it. This is a whithering barage.

On the CoVar Corporate Islands, just south of the Resi Corporate Island. Preparations were being made. The Mercenaries Bases and Training Camps were full of activity as the CoVar Corporation prepared to join the war.

In the Harbors, ships were being loaded with equipment and weapons of war. While submarines disappeared beneath the waves. Other vessels were preparing to transport evacuees from the Islands. As, it was likely that when CoVar joined it's ally, it too would be a target. And so, large numbers of Employee and equipment were being transported to CoVar's holding in other nations, far from the conflict.

Soon, the Mercenaries would move.

http://www.airpac.navy.mil/news/pr2001/images/01667b~1.jpg

Meanwhile, security was stepped up all around the Islands. New patrols marched along the edge of the mindfeilds that dotted the beaches. Submarines slipped in between the dangerous underwater feilds of mines that lay beneath the waves. Mercenaries moved through networks of tunnels, bunkers, and other military facilities around the islands as camueflage nettings were placed over numerous gun emplacements. Final checks were made of the network of intricate sensor place throughout the islands and surrounding waters.

They would be ready. When war came to Resi, it would likely come to CoVar and the preparation were being made.

Captain Davids watched impatiently as his communications officers relayed messages between the ships of the two gathered fleets ... tapping his fingers together, steepling them, running them through his hair, then twisting a spoon from his coffee cup around. He was just about to burst out and ask them what the delay was, when a harrassed young man waved to him.

"All's clear, sir. All's clear - target co-ordinates input. Ready to fire on orders."

He grinned. "All ships, commence bombardments. Your targets are acquired. Heat up point defence and release the SABOT shells."

With a thunderclap that shook the air for miles around, the vast fleets began shelling - from a range of over a hundred kilometres away from the coastlines of Nai isle and Unus/Jain isle, at all designated military targets as discovered by satellite - airfields first, then coastal defences.

"Prepare the tomahawks in case of defence mechanisms ... fire!"

The Vanguard Sunset submarines rose the few feet to the surface ... and each launched eight Tomahawks with bomblet warheads, aimed at point defences if evident, otherwise naval bases.

"Right," said Davids, satisfied. "Let's see how they like that."

OOC:
Numberwanking bit.
The SABOTs don't do much damage, but are highly accurate. It's almost impossible to give an exact number of a sustained barrage, but they're being fired from a total of 50 micro-carriers (2 guns), 200 destroyers (4 guns), and 200 frigates (2 guns).

The Tomahawks are fired eight per submarine, loaded with Brilliant Anti-Armor Bomblets (10 per warhead). 100 submarines in total.

Bear in mind you've not specified any forces near me at all.

Oh, and one last bit of OOCage, we have a couple of underground airstrips. Not many, mind you, but a max of thirty. These are like the ones found in Iraq during the first Gulf War.

Enough OOCing, now on to losses and retaliation! :) ))
IC:
Clouds of dust and debris flew up miles into the air as the great port cities of Jain, Unus, and East and West Nai were shelled to hell and back. Resort hotels and office buildings alike fell into piles of rubble along the once pristine coastline, creating a thick mixture of pollutants, chemicals, and blood that poured into the ocean, turning it a strange brown color. Below this troubled scene, however, a counterstrike was being prepared.

"Gamma 3, this is Delta 4, over. We're directly under Charle, and preparing plan Bitchslap. Are your crew, that of Alpha 1, that of Beta 2, and that of Omicron 20 ready?"
"Yes sir, we're all ready. Sub-drones are in position and Covert Crawlers are ready to strike. We'll show those Jezzi's* what we can do!"

The five Atlantas-Class Assult Subs** closed the airlocks in their docking bays and released a swarm of 300 Sub Drones*** each, 300 of which stayed behind to protect the motherships, while the rest went out to disperse plasma mines over the path or underside of the entire navy. Once this task was completed, they piloted themselves back to the ships. The 1,000 Covert Crawlers moved slowly and stealthily underneath the submarine fleet, readying their upward-facing torpedo tubes.

Back on shore, most of the communications were knocked out and 30 of the islands' 70 airstrips were destroyed. The harbor markets of Nai and Janus Island (aka Jain/Unus island) were destroyed, as well as most of the anti-ship missile launchers in the area. Although it is too early to give a definate estimate, experts estimate that a good 8,000 Resian citizens were killed (is this too little?). Also, a convent and a rehab clinic for catnip-addicted nekos were both destroyed, both things that the Resian media is covering extensivly.

*slang, like "commie" or "Ruskie".
**these things are huge, but you probably missed them anyway for reasons listed in my store thread.
***Tiny, fully robotic submarines that packs about 50 high-density plasma mines, forward and aft plasma beams, and forward and aft torpedo launchers carrying 30 torpedoes each. They use the same cloaking techniques found in the Atlantas subs.

Also, the space attack even if you don't want to accept the V-4s would have had a majour effect on the cities. If you want to keep the shields on Resi city I have another move I can make but I will certainly suggest that it is impossible to continually have them exist.

The Vizh attack/transport helicopters, carrying the bulk of the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th Air Assault Divisions, and under the air cover of the Expeditionary Air Corps, cruise in from the west over the massive Coalition fleets. The 24th and 19th begin to land on the coast southwest of Resi City to secure the beachhead. Combat engineer battalions-- ironically, some of the same ones used to construct the Corporate Coalition Headquarters at New Winchester Canyon-- will immediately begin to prepare to build a naval/air LZ. The troops set up a defensive perimeter, not yet advancing on the remains of Resi City.

The 16th-18th and 21st-24th, however, veer south. The cities of West Dei and East Dei now lie equally distant from the 7th Army Group forces. Thousands of Conglomerate assault troops land within the space of a few minutes. The ground attack helicopters deposit their cargoes-- Gavel and Enforcer main battle tanks, Cougar APCs, ammunition, fuel, supplies, and personnel-- and, lightened, move with precision timing to support the ground attack with rockets, advanced guided missiles, bombs, and the ever faithful Ortega autocannons.

Aboard the Atmos, satellite data, and that from every ship in the 1st Orbital Fleet, keeps track of the movements of the hapless Resi defenders. Gun emplacements and bunkers, plotted during the many years of peace between the Conglomerate and Resi Corporation, are now re-plotted if necessary, and their data and positions are relayed down to Reich and allied commanders.

The orbital Cruisers and Destroyers receive this information as well. Precision CASCG strikes (coilgun ortillery) are not ordered quite yet, however.

Numerous contacts ring out on the multi-layered sensor suites of the ships from Borogard's naval Cruiser Squadron. These are then confirmed by crossreferenced intelligence data on Resi Corporation military maritime assets as well as the wide range of sensor satellite suites, and the contact data is also sent to allied fleets.

OOC:

Alright, one chance for you to undo this post, or I'm done here and returning to Vthnaar's ruling and colonising you.

((OOC: We didn't know where your forces were OOCly, so how could we say that we have forces deployed there unless we list the deployments of every single one of our forces?

As for positions: the fiefdom forces are around Nai isle, Whispering Voices is around Unus/Jain isle (or at least, heading that way). Satellite scans have found nothing military on those two islands (including silos) according to you, and sonar and deep sonar drones have found no submarines around them.

"Now," he said - voice a little harsh from sea salt air, a slight drawl that served to denote him as aristocratic. "We are attacking here ... and here. At Jain and Unus, with the majority of the forces. Nai Isle we are sending pacificators to, along with a third of the total ground forces. Fleet position will be maintained ... here. The fleet will be split with the ground forces, because the passage from Jain to Nai isle is brief - we'll be able to provide air cover from just ... here. Anything more serious and we can split our attention between the two."

It's not my fault you were too lazy - again - to read posts. I scanned for defenders, you stated none. You have no submarines near those islands - even "stealth" submarines (the Atlantis isn't even slightly shaped for stealth). Let alone the fact I've stated I have submarines and underwater sonar drones surrounding my fleets.

You know that's a hell of a lot of ships, correct? I'd gander that it'd be about a forth of your navy.

As previously stated, my military is based on the United States military, scaled up for size and then simply reduced in size. One expedition is one twentieth of my navy. And, since you elected to use puppets, the second expedition is from my fiefdoms (it could easily be from my main country).

With a thunderclap that shook the air for miles around, the vast fleets began shelling - from a range of over a hundred kilometres away from the coastlines of Nai isle and Unus/Jain isle, at all designated military targets as discovered by satellite - airfields first, then coastal defences.

Clouds of dust and debris flew up miles into the air as the great port cities of Jain, Unus, and East and West Nai were shelled to hell and back.

18-10-2003, 10:29

OOC: stuff

If it's based on RL things, there are essentially 3 options - they're pretty different so I'm sure one will sound familiar if he's talked about them.

The explosively pumped FCG is the most mature technology applicable to bomb designs. The FCG was first demonstrated by Clarence Fowler at Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL) in the late fifties [FOWLER60]. Since that time a wide range of FCG configurations has been built and tested, both in the US and the USSR, and more recently CIS.

The FCG is a device capable of producing electrical energies of tens of MegaJoules in tens to hundreds of microseconds of time, in a relatively compact package. With peak power levels of the order of TeraWatts to tens of TeraWatts, FCGs may be used directly, or as one shot pulse power supplies for microwave tubes. To place this in perspective, the current produced by a large FCG is between ten to a thousand times greater than that produced by a typical lightning stroke [WHITE78].

The central idea behind the construction of FCGs is that of using a fast explosive to rapidly compress a magnetic field, transferring much energy from the explosive into the magnetic field.

The design of explosive and propellant driven Magneto-Hydrodynamic generators is a much less mature art that that of FCG design. Technical issues such as the size and weight of magnetic field generating devices required for the operation of MHD generators suggest that MHD devices will play a minor role in the near term. In the context of this paper, their potential lies in areas such as start current generation for FCG devices.

The fundamental principle behind the design of MHD devices is that a conductor moving through a magnetic field will produce an electrical current transverse to the direction of the field and the conductor motion. In an explosive or propellant driven MHD device, the conductor is a plasma of ionised explosive or propellant gas, which travels through the magnetic field. Current is collected by electrodes which are in contact with the plasma jet [FANTHOME89].

The electrical properties of the plasma are optimised by seeding the explosive or propellant with with suitable additives, which ionise during the burn [FANTHOME89, FLANAGAN81]. Published experiments suggest that a typical arrangement uses a solid propellant gas generator, often using conventional ammunition propellant as a base. Cartridges of such propellant can be loaded much like artillery rounds, for multiple shot operation.

High Power Microwaves.
A wide range of HPM devices exist. Relativistic Klystrons, Magnetrons, Slow Wave Devices, Reflex triodes, Spark Gap Devices and Vircators are all examples of the available technology base [GRANATSTEIN87, HOEBERLING92]. From the perspective of a bomb or warhead designer, the device of choice will be at this time the Vircator, or in the nearer term a Spark Gap source. The Vircator is of interest because it is a one shot device capable of producing a very powerful single pulse of radiation, yet it is mechanically simple, small and robust, and can operate over a relatively broad band of microwave frequencies.

The physics of the Vircator tube are substantially more complex than those of the preceding devices. The fundamental idea behind the Vircator is that of accelerating a high current electron beam against a mesh (or foil) anode. Many electrons will pass through the anode, forming a bubble of space charge behind the anode. Under the proper conditions, this space charge region will oscillate at microwave frequencies. If the space charge region is placed into a resonant cavity which is appropriately tuned, very high peak powers may be achieved. Conventional microwave engineering techniques may then be used to extract microwave power from the resonant cavity. Because the frequency of oscillation is dependent upon the electron beam parameters, Vircators may be tuned or chirped in frequency, where the microwave cavity will support appropriate modes. Power levels achieved in Vircator experiments range from 170 kiloWatts to 40 GigaWatts over frequencies spanning the decimetric and centimetric bands [THODE87].

Or of course there are nukes.

Pausing just to the north of the Resi Islands, the gestalt consciousness of the 01 taskforce pauses as the Council of Seven itself makes contact. Naturally, the link is encrypted beyond the comprehension of most machines, save those who have the decryption key.

His forces came to Eris Kallisti and started getting ready under the guise of "Millitary Exercises". -That- is why he's in this, and why he's already moblized(sp?!).

Since the whole "Annex of Eris Kallisti" by Melkor... we kinda got paranoid and started building the army like crazy.... and we -never- talk much about it. Best to stay "the dirty peace-loving hippy" when we can pull it off in the public eye. :wink:
<offical statement>
If all else fails, and neither Resi nor Kotterdam have the time to deal with my nations millitary... PoA can control my forces. </end statement>

ok... gotta get off this computer before it crashes. Hopefully I'll be back in action personaly soon. *salutes*))

WV: I've been trying my best to keep up with this as much as possible, and honestly, I don't expect Resi to win this thing. I didn't expect it before, and I don't now that its restarted. I've been playing by the rules. PoA offered to help when I TGed him way back at the begining of the things before the restart. We've made a point to RP out stuff so that we couldn't get yelled at for wanking. Both him and I will be coming in late on this thing because of all this crap with my phone. Right now I really do have to go though. Catch ya later))

OOC: I want Resi to RP the damage of the EMP blasts and the V-4 attacks ALL ACCROSS his nation at vital targets etc etc before I will make any greater moves. For now though...

IC: *Transmission from Army Group SATO floatilla, Flagship RNV Stonewall Jackson, (OOC:12 hours from destination) to Army Group Hammer, Flagship RNV Napoleon Bonaparte*

The eagle has twelve more eggs to lay before it can fly.

*End Transmission*

*SDI Headquarters, somewhere deep within the Reich*

"My Go..."the Hauptmann of SDI caught himself near to using the Lord's name in vain"...sh. The coordinates recieved from Santa Barbara are extremely accurate and the number and location..."he paused for a moment, "this is a complete listing of all of the emplacements within Resi...even some of the secretive ones. This combined with the coordinates sent by Luftwaffe jets and sattelites which had spotted planes coming from out of the ground (OOC: Only directly saw 5 of the strips and are shooting in the dark for as many as 12) should give us a complete dessimation of Resi's ability to defend himself."

His adjutant, a young Gefreiter nodded his head in agreement, "This is most excellent. Providence looks favourably upon our King Will and shall not let him fail."

"Tis true..." the Hauptman trailed off. "Are we ready to fire?"

"V-4 Silos all accross the Reich are opened and ready to fire. This shall be the largest V-4 strike in the history of the Reich..."

"But also one of the most necessary." the Hauptmann interjected. "Are all targets verified thoroughly?"

"Yes, sir." the Adjutant replied.

"Open Fire." the Hauptmann ordered.

At his words, silos accross the Reich unleashed the most enormous barrage of V-4s to ever be launched. Nearly 7,000 of the obscenely large non nuclear ICBM's sprang forth and towards their targets in Resi. Ships in the AG Hammer floatilla loosed 3,000 smaller cruise missiles for other targets as the Napoleon Bonaparte, and the three other Stonewall Jackson class battleships turned broadside and unleashed a deadly barrage of shells on the coast.

The main aircraft carrier in the fleet, the RNV Joachim Murat and her four sister ships turned into the wind and launched 125 Luftwaffe Jets to attack economic, military, and command and control targets in and around Resi City.

OOC: There was someone making landings if I remember correctly...I say hold off until my bombardment is finished and Resi has RPd his losses of this attack and the previous one.

I would ask that if other nations that weren't previously involved wish to get involved, they wait until the initial barrage to begin moving towards Resi with realistic deployment times.

And Resi ... again you're not responding here after saying you would ... whilst maintaining extensive thread commitments elsewhere (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82552&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0). I'm not trying to set which threads you like best, but you did say you would continue this one :/

OOC: Resi said he would have time for war this week. Now it is sunday and I still haven't seen any answers to our initial strikes. I see no reason to start a complete Ignore of Resi if there are no reactions. Remember Resi, this thread was started at YOUR initiative, when you said you would do a war since you had a lot of time. As wv has said earlier I have seen you do a lot in other threads, including a thread that is a parallell to this war?! Please explain yourself, or I will follow suit of everyone else. I will not do a summary this time, and I think it is proof of not showing any respect to other peoples effort. I spent a lot of time not only planning this war but also doing the summaries you asked for, there will be NO more of that. If we have no response the colonisation will continue.

OOC: Sometime, RL can get in the way of NS and since RL is much more important than NS it can a take a while for people to post. I'd say, if you want a war, be patient and wait for Resi to have time to return and get to all his threads. Otherwise, I say forget this all happened.

I will post my deployments when Resi returns. And can every give out their deployment so I know where everything is.

Anyway, it is impossible to claim you control the Resi Islands, if he doesn't secede it. That's how this works (to my understanding), otherwise it's godmoding to say you rule Resi. Now you could also say you do and not, like for example Taiwan and China's relationship (or lack there of). Even if Resi is unresponsive, there no way around it. You just have to admit that it's unfair and move on. Now, I'd say just be patient, either Resi will return and RP (which I think likely) or he won't.

Now I am probably ranting here for no reason, so you can ignore all this (but not me). Anyway, I'm done now.

Yes, sometimes RL stuff happens, and we let Resi off in the first invasion just because of that. Then HE proposed a new war to happen last week because he had NO RL issues to attend to that week. Now we all know things may come up, but if it did, how come he does a freakin RP in other threads?! Even one that is supposed to be inside this one?! And he told us he hadn't reacted because he wrote a long post, so far I haven't seen any long posts and nothing else in this thread.

I will not continue with the war unless you REALLY want me to. In that case I shall bend and finish it up.

OOC: Alright, one chance for you to undo this post, or I'm done here and returning to Vthnaar's ruling and colonising you.Sorry, my bad. The OOCage will be changed.
It's not my fault you were too lazy - again - to read posts. I scanned for defenders, you stated none. You have no submarines near those islands - even "stealth" submarines (the Atlantis isn't even slightly shaped for stealth). Let alone the fact I've stated I have submarines and underwater sonar drones surrounding my fleets.I believe it is you that has neglected to do his reading. Read up on the sub in my store, and you'll see that shape has nothing to do with it. It's all cellular, baby.
As previously stated, my military is based on the United States military, scaled up for size and then simply reduced in size. One expedition is one twentieth of my navy. And, since you elected to use puppets, the second expedition is from my fiefdoms (it could easily be from my main country).I could've sworn I said I wasn't using my "puppets", as you call them, in this conflict.
*looks back*
Okay, I guess I didn't. I'm not using them because I want some of my land to be spared should the conflict turn nasty(er).
So why is it my long range precision and guided shells/minimissile things are hitting resorts and office buildings and markets?Because, as stated in a few previous threads, all of our zoning is done vertically instead of horizontally. Resi City is built in layers, so different zones are on different elevations.

Also, it would bad RP if I didn't have forces in the area. Think about it, we have global surveilance technology and we can obviously see your fleet inbound towards our islands, so why wouldn't we pu tup defences?

21-10-2003, 06:11

stuff

Not that it matters - I'll not get drawn into the fact that cellular "stealth" would in no way shape or form (even chameleonics) protect from simple sonar, or how mad it is to have huge civilian locations underneath/above military ones, or the fact that you had deployed no forces there.

War is over, and in my paradigm, Resi Corp lost. It's taken two weeks to simply get you to acknowledge the first barrage, and ultimately the victory isn't worth that much to me that I'm going to spend 3 RL years continuing as you dance in out and around threads with selective attention span.

If cells can absorb sonar without deflecting any, that's as good as stealth.

I have forces on my coastlines. I would naturally deploy those forces to where yours are. Why does common sense continue to evade you?

If my zoning makes no sense to you, then so what? It's my city, and I'm not going to argue over the schematics. It's not like we have a missile testing range on the military level, or anything.

So you're admitting that you're too lazy to actually wait for a response? Ah, I get it, it's all about instant gratification. Have fun in your dreamworld, WV.

21-10-2003, 06:35

They can't. Any hard surface (unless you're claiming it's a polyp, in which case it has no weapons) reflects sonar to some degree.

I have forces on my coastlines. I would naturally deploy those forces to where yours are. Why does common sense continue to evade you? Then why didn't my satellites or sonar drones or submarines or frigates spot them? The Atlantis is not capable of stealth except via "magic".

If my zoning makes no sense to you, then so what? It's my city, and I'm not going to argue over the schematics. It's not like we have a missile testing range on the military level, or anything.

No, it seems more like you wanted to do a civil outrage thing by having said guided objects hit civilian areas, rather than having any reason for it. A vast amount more civilian areas got hit than military targets.

So you're admitting that you're too lazy to actually wait for a response? Ah, I get it, it's all about instant gratification. Have fun in your dreamworld, WV.

I persisted for close on three weeks, Resi, and put more effort into organising parts of the war than you can know. And we're still at the initial barrage. Ultimately, it's not about gratification, it's about the fact you're not worth the effort and are clearly taking every possible step to make people grow bored with/aggravated with the attack - just as Vthnaar said - in the hopes that eventually everyone will simply leave.

So guess what?
Resi Corporation loses. You're colonised. Have a nice day ;-)

No, it seems more like you wanted to do a civil outrage thing by having said guided objects hit civilian areas, rather than having any reason for it.

21-10-2003, 18:30

Retractable weapons. Honestly, is it that much trouble to think about these things for yourself?

And a soft-surface submarine can go to any depth how? Sometimes I wonder how it is you have the co-ordination to actually type. Just in case, I'm going to use very simple analogies here for you.

Little Timmy has a spoon. It's made of metal.
Little Jenny has a plate full of jelly. It's strawberry jelly.
Now, little Timmy's spoon shows up bright and clear on sonar.
Little Jenny's plate full of jelly doesn't show up much on sonar (it's a faint reading).

Now, if little Timmy inserts his spoon into little Jenny's jelly, the spoon still shows up on sonar! Little Jenny's jelly - despite being strawberry jelly, and so nice with cream - doesn't mystically shield little Timmy's spoon from sonar!

In short, unless the retractable weapons appear from and retract into Arse-space (like your nanomachines), the Atlantis is still visible to sonar!
OH NOES!

Most satellites can't see underwater. There's too much surface disturbance.

Satellites were related to ground posts (and actually, satellites that measure ocean floor depths can detect things within an accuracy of a kilometre ... so like the Atlantis).

Now, I know I can't get everyone to leave, as some essential political relation changes are happening in this thread. Such is not my goal. You interpret it to be, which sounds like a personal problem to me.

Yes. I have a personal problem with you doing everything you said you wouldn't. Again. A la Vegana's post.

Not so. You see, if you ignore me my island or any of me doesn't exist in your nation's universe, nor has it ever. That's the essence of ignoring.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, I'm afraid. :wink:

Actually, it's quite easy to simply say in my timeline, you lost. You were guaranteed to lose anyway: everyone saw it, including you, which is why you've stooped to such obvious depths and why you're showered in scorn.

Anyway - as another person said - goodbye, Resi.

You were guaranteed to lose anyway: everyone saw it, including you, which is why you've stooped to such obvious depths and why you're showered in scorn.It's too bad ignoring doesn't work that way. If you propose that I still exist but am ruled by you, I would've done everything in my power (including becoming a part of the PCC) before I was to be ruled by the likes of you.

Resi, only one comment. It is usually accepted that no forces are present unless stated, just because it's common sense that they should be there, doesn't mean that they are until stated.

Also, with all your selling threads, you can't expect someone to check for all equipment you might eventually use.Okay, I didn't know that. I just assumed that it would be bad RP to do otherwise.

Alright. I'm convinced you don't actually know what sonar is, now, which is a bit of a relief I think. Although believing in vessels that big that move through the medium of water and emit no sound is truly dumb.

Most spy satellites aren't measured to measure the depth of the ocean floor. That's too bad, isn't it? :P
