We have never been paid for our past service to the GDODAD. Therefore pay us, or we shall take what is rightfully ours, and more.

"Foolish young one. If you knew history, you would know that ADK has been abandoned by the GDODAD because of his hate for them. He was once a member, but when he was destroyed by Russian Forces in war, he blamed the GDODAD for not saving him. In fact, GDODAD had earlier declared its intention to withdraw from war. ADK missed his chance, and paid the price for losing.

Abu-Dhabi Khristatata, you will recieve no reperations, because the GDODAD is not at fault for your foolishness in war."

The Khristian Grand Fleet began leaving port, steaming towards GDODAD waters. Hundreds of ships had set sail, about 8 fleets, or 16 carrier groups. They would blockade the nations of the GDODAD and await compensation, if it was not paid soon, the alternative was obvious...

In space, the 3rd Battle Regiment moved from their docks in the colonies and into geosynchronus orbit over the various GDODAD nations(OOC: TST has spacedy ships :P).

While we are not on bad grounds with Abu-Dhabi Khristatata, and nor we are a friend of GDODAD, we must ask the leader of Abu-Dhabi Khristata to stand down from this childish, foolish, yet laughable act. We see Abu-Dhabi Khristatata's so-called "contributions" to the old GDODAD organization as too small, yet to be even receiving a reward. Not mentioning how Abu-Dhabi Khristatata is making a laughing stock across the world for its childish acts of saying "give me a reward". It is the truth, this will bring nothing but more destruction. Considering ADK's current relationship with GDODAD, the possibility is virtually to nil.

For the sake of sanity, we ask Abu-Dhabi Khristatata to stand down.

I'll have to agree with the Emperor Nemerov on this one, ADK. Though the GDODAD does owe much to your nation, it is no need for war. War would only cost more lives... and dollars.

ADK, think about what you are doing. If you goad us into a war, it is exactly what the Anti-GDODAD nations will need to start another World War! YOU would be the cause of billiond of lives being lost. You would be the one that singlehandly started WWVII for what? A few billion dollars? A few trillion? Is it really worth it?

We laugh at you. Our armies for almost 3000 years have gone forth and conquered the peoples of the known world. Gaul, Britannia, the Turks, the Greeks... We have defended ourselves from the Muslims, Huns, Russians, Nazis, and other foes.

We are prepared for war, and have been for a long time.

We are giving the GDODAD a chance, instead of launching total war immeadiately.

And I ask the Omzians, how can the death of hundreds of millions be considered a 'small' contribution?

Let's test the ADK resolve...

IC:

2 Bajoni Transports leave the starport and make their way to earth. They head straight for the ADK blockade.

Unknown to ADK, the ships are empty, and are set on remote piloting from a Bajoni cruiser near earth. If the ADK are really going to hold a blockade, let them fire the first shot.

Over Mars, and a fleet is readied for a possible war. 25 Cruisers are made ready for the vanguard.

Hahaha! That's it?
My fleets are in MY space, so you'd better not get to close, or you'll find your fleets gone.

If you attempt to holdout on your own, what can you accomplish, your only hope is for GDODAD to quickly fall apart (Unlikely for a few weeks) or for help from outside, but who will help you. SATO?

"Doesn't he learn, no one will ever come to his aid, and how could his nation, whose last attempt at war caused his nation to be divided among Russian Forces and his allies, singlehandedly take on some of the greatest armies ever asembled."

The High Lord than stated, "Well, we might as well alert the armed forces, send the sixth space fleet to our borders, has this wacko crossed them yet, if he does, we shall consider it an act of war and respond fully. Assemble the earthen navy also to the borders of our waters. If the forces come close to our borders, or intefere with our comerce, than may god have mercy on his soul."

Ha, he claims to be involved for his people, yet clearly, this leader is showing blatant disregard for his people. The armies of the GDODAD are extremely efficient. ADK's forces are nothing better than tatters. ADK decides to invade a superpower on his own. He alerts the GDODAD of his plans when GDODAD was around at that time. GDODAD is to do what with this information? We did not support him, nor did we encourage him in anyway. In fact, many dismissed the plan completely as just a hoax. We alerted him in the dangers of invasion. He invades Russian Forces, disrespects his soveirgnty. When ADK pays for it, he somehow can blame the GDODAD. We are not afraid of your idle threats, and the world is not backing them. Right now you are attacking a gathering of super powers. Get real my freind, I reccomend backing down right now, and apoligizing right now. No world will support your pursuit of starting the next world war, and right now it is obvious you are an outcast. Backdown, for if you really cared for your people, right now you would perhaps be a little more diplomatic, than trying to put them into harms way. Enough of your hypocrasy. Go home before you bring death to all.

As the transports drew closer to the Khristian ships targenting computers began making calculations, weapons systems began loading Gauss Cannons, and fighters launched from their bays.

OOC: Oh... they're there already? Hmm...

IC:

As the transports drew closer to the Khristian ships targenting computers began making calculations, weapons systems began loading Gauss Cannons, and fighters launched from their bays. A message was relayed to the Martian fleets that a war against Bajon(Bajon, you aren't a GDODAD member, right?) had begun.

The Iota XXIII fired staggered railgun fire into both of the trnasports. They had known the risk. None shall pass.

BANG. With this you have just made an ass out of yourself to the entire world community. Feel the wrath of the GDODAD, you sillly goose. LCS has never lost any armed conflict, and plans not to start with you.

The High Lord has called all his cabinet members together in order to draw up a declaration of war upon ADK. The High Lord has called up all GDODAD members, waking them from their slumber, and irritating all of them to inform them of the Situation. LCS now moves to Defcon 1. LCS troops are now mobilizing. The 6th space fleet in still en route. All space fleets have been called off patrol in order to defend the homeland. All forces are ready for battle.

ADK, your idiocy and incompetence as a world leader shines through again, may all have mercy on you, for the GDODAD will not. And when all is said and done, you will be paying the reparations, not us.

With the destruction of the transports, the fleets immediatly sprung to life. The rest of the Bajoni fleet near Mars joined the 25 of the vanguard. Now, 75 cruisers formed up, and awaited orders to move on the ADK fleet.

On the surface, the MI and Mech divisions mobilized. 1 Million MI's wre called for an invasion of the ADK Mars colony.

This statement was issued by the Empress:
"Today, peaceful refugee transport ships were destroyed by the barbaric killers of Abu-Dhabi Khristatata. Bajon will not sit idly by and let them think they have any symblence of power. This will be a short war."

Several minutes later, the Khristian fleets in orbit of Mars opened fire upon the Bajoni fleet. Tens of thousands of missiles made their way towards the Bajoni vessels. Hundreds of fighters poured out of the Khristian Battle Carriers. Hundreds of warships fired their gauss cannons into the enemy.

Haha, to bad I don't keep ships in orbit: there isn't enough room. Not to mention that you can't just transport your fleets to mine and attack. So...

As the ADK ships approached, the Bajoni fleet flew backwards, a standard Bajoni tactic, away from the approaching fleet. As they did, torpedoes were fired forwards, with a volley of space mines following. Now, the Bajoni ships broke formation and fell back, staying out of range of the ADK ships.

Bull! 25 Mill is unsupportable. Maybe your total amount of reserves and everything you have is 25 mil, but if you called them all up, you would collapse your own country.

Hey, It's like 7% of entire population or less. Extreme but within the 10% boundry.

The 10% rule isn't constant. The larger your forces get, the more money it costs. Your nation couldn't possibly support that large of a force. Neither could mine, thats why I have a smaller force.

20 LO-7's began going off the runway. They would make their way to the capital city of LCS, it would be obliterated.

The 1st spacefleet, permantly stationed for home defense, sprung into action. At this point, the seventh space fleet also had returned, they were coming upon the attacking fleet. The total combined fleet would containing 15 Georgian class crusers, 4 Christopher class Battleships (large spaced battleships), 50 Moriches class fast attack ships (lighter manueverable ships), and the Flagship of the entire fleet, the Scott, which was a carrier of many space fighters, joined the action.

On the ground, fighters were scrambled as sensors showed activity of enemy activity.

(explain to me what an LO-7 is BTW, if you don't, i will ignore any attack by them until you explain what they are. For all i know they can be B-17's or a zeppelin. Just tell me its basic abilities and what it is)

Well, than that still costs a helluva lot of money. You hafta feed troops, maintain the weapons. This force is inherintly a godmod. Plus, the 10% rule has not really been used for a while. People have realized it is unrealistic, especially for a peacetime force.

try this on for size, the american military has 1.4 million personel total, this includes all support, and most of these are rear echelon personell. The US can really only feild about 350,000 troops max at a time.

Now, 1.4 million out of 280, that is not even 1 percent.

Of course, north korea has alot of people in hte military, but just take a look at the fighting ability of that army lately and the economic state that coutry is in.

50 Bajoni ships left out, splitting into 2 groups. They went around the planet opposite of each other, moving for the ADK fleet in orbit. The group that found them first was to hold back until the 2nd group made contact as well.

The Bajoni ground forces loaded onto dropships in the subterranean bases and awaited departure orders.

The A-S defenses in Bajon opened up, checking with the Martian satellite network for the ADK fleet.

The Dominion of Bantz, after careful and thorough consultation with our legal department, would like to point out that while we neither confirm nor deny the existence of the alleged debt owed, should such a debt in fact be owed it was owed by the former GDODAD and not its current incarnation. As the new GDODAD is a substantially different organization to be operated under an new charter, we submit that the debts and obligations incurred by the former GDODAD are not binding upon member nations of the new GDODAD. This extends to member nations formerly aligned with the old GDODAD who are members of the current GDODAD unless operating individually to incure said debts rather than as agents of the former GDODAD.

In short, relying on the sound advice and counsel of our legal department, we submit that this entire episode was a waste of valuable time and we suggest that future concerns of this nature be directed through proper diplomatic channels and accompanied with a detail basis for claims consistent with applicable law.

The Representative of ADK's points are well heard but ultimately rejected as obiter and invalid in regards only to the subject to which the comments of the Dominion of Bantz were directed.

We again submit that the current GDODAD is an entity legal separate and distinct from the older organizations bearing the name for the purpose of the collection of debts and liabilities by creditors of the former GDODAD. While we acknowledge the carryover of the goodwill value inherent in the name of the former organization - the fair market value of which is currently under consideration by our Office of Economic Forecasting and Strategy - we deny that this in any way forms a legal basis upon which creditors may seek compensation for past debts.

Your comments on the name and purpose of the GDODAD, while insightful, are not on point and do not form a basis for privity of contract under any legal system recognized as binding within the Dominion.

The First Martian Battle Regiment(OOC: I discovered I have enough vessels for battle regiments) began preparing for battle with the Bajoni fleets. Fleet tenders buzzed around, delivering food, weapons, extra Gauss Cannon barrels, and ammuntion.

On board 8 Theta III assault ships, troops prepared for battle with Bajoni forces in their subterranen cities. Dozens of troop filled APC's filled dropships, tanks also. They were armed with almost anything and everything. Plasma rifles, knives, shotguns, sonic electronic ballbreakers, pulse rifles, nukes, nerve gas, pointed sticks; of course some weapons would not be used, but situations arise...

"Clear cut? We stay out of it. They can beat each other to death with rocks for all I care..."

Edwin considered this for a moment.

"Still, we should be official. Let's heighten alert - send most of the fleet to Titan. Bring up the gate weapon systems and ground batteries and have the fighter squadrons ready. I'll record a statement for both sides."

"Yes Sir..."

Filbeck walked out of his office - the orders would duplicate the already heightened stance because of the Kajal war, but it was good to keep people on their toes.

In space, the 3rd Battle Regiment moved from their docks in the colonies and into geosynchronus orbit over the various GDODAD nations(OOC: TST has spacedy ships :P).

The Brotherhood will warn Abu-Dhabi Khristatata only once. We have mobilized our navy, airforce and army, and several nuclear missiles have been programmed to immediately retaliate should nuclear weaponry be used against the Brotherhood. Any military action taken by Abu-Dhabi Khristatata will lead to the destruction of Abu-Dhabi Khristatata and every single ADK citizen.

The 25 ships over Bajon move towards the ADK fleet, with weapons fully charged. As the ADK fleet takes notice, the 50 Bajoni battlecruisers fly out from the other side of the planet, unleashing a triple volley of torpedoes at the ADK fleet. Simultaneously, the 25 other ships fire their torpedoes, and close in at full speed, flying attack patterns to throw off enemy missiles.

As soon as the Bajoni ships had launched their torpedos Khristian vessels unleashed missiles and Gauss Cannon fire. Fighters and ships took evasive manuvers attempting to dodge and outrun the torpedos. Mannasseh II class battle carriers began realizing decoys and drones from their bays. 18 Naphalti class corvettes were hit, their small hulls ripped apart. In brilliant flashes they exploded. 8 Dan class light destroyers were also destroyed, yet some of their crews made it to their escape vessels in time.

In all, some 32 vessels were lost, along with 97 fighters in the initial Bajoni assault.
Bajon
26-11-2003, 02:47
The ADK fleet began firing, but it was to late for an effective volley. The Bajoni ships were already closing. As they did so, they let out around half their complement of fighters. About 3,100 remote fighters flew from the battlecruisers, forming up and attacking the ADK capital ships and fighter squadrons. Railgun fire ripped the hulls of ADK ships, as the fighters made attack runs and dogfights.

Once in close enough, the Bajoni cruisers broadsided the ADK ships with railgun banks, straffing the entire length of many ADK cruisers.

However, in the opening ADK shots, the Bajoni fleet had 2 ships take major damage and withdraw, while others took only minor hits, or lost only minor systems to hits.

The ADK fleet was being trapped in on two sides, with a planet to another. Could it possibly get worse? Yes.

A message came in to the Bajoni Fleet:
"Standby, we will be in range momentarily."

A moment later, 50 Bajoni cruisers grew larger out of the blackness. Their engines were at full power, and they entered the fight with a trememdous volley at the center of the ADK fleet, and the dumped their fighters and continued on with railgun runs.

Now, the ADK fleet was boxed in.

OOC:

On board the Benjamen III Admiral Slaygood was very worried. All around him ships were exploding, sending shrapnel in all directions.

"Fire Sakura!"

The 2km long cruiser gave a lurch as parts of it's outer armor explodied off, revealing hundreds of missile banks. Immeadiately the ship began firing thousands of anti-ship missiles at the nearest Bajoni vessels. The 3's Gauss Cannons fired unmercilessly into the enemy.

Already over half the vangaurd was destroyed, what few vessels remained continued firing gauss cannons and missiles into the bajoni vessels and refueled what few hundred fighters and fighter-bombers remained.

Quickly the second Martian Battle regiment charged towards the battle, missiles ready, fighters deployed, and gauss cannons loaded.

6 Zeta III class anti-ship cannons began firing JDAANGS(Joint Direct Attack and Navigtional Gauss Shell)s at the Bajoni cruisers.
Bajon
26-11-2003, 03:20
"Holy crap! Dive! Dive!"

The Bajoni ships in the way of the missiles scattered out of their way, though it was too late for many of them. At the sight of the ADK counter-attack, the Bajoni ships on the perimeter moved in with missiles and railguns blazing. The now underarmoured cruiser was a perfect target as the Bajoni ships flew in outside its firing arc. As they drew in, they unleashed volleys of torpedoes and railgun fire onto it. The rest of the Bajoni ships reformed and came in in the V formations, firing volley upon volley of torpedoes, while railgun fire raked into the ADK ships.

The Bajoni Fighters reformed as well, flying in at full throttle for maximum effect. They were met with 3,000 surface fighters, along with 1,000 reinforcements from the fleet. They went straight into the frey, Filling the cruisers full of railgun fire, and going after the remaining ADK fighters.

In the attack, 8 Bajoni Battlecruisers were forced to withdraw, while 3 where destroyed instantly, and 2 were left leaking super-hot plasma in the center of the battle, near the ADK Missile Ship.
Abu-Dhabi Khristatata
26-11-2003, 03:34
One third of the missiles used breaking thrusters, redirected themselves and dived back down at the Bajoni ships, using up the last of their fuel.

The Benjamen III exploded, CICMARFLT was dead. Dozens of Khristian vessels continued to explode. Fighters either attempted Kamikaze misions or attempted escape. A handful of destroyers and battle carriers contiued the failed fight against the Bajonis. They quickly exhausted their Gauss shells and resorted to ramming the enemy vessels or launching boarding pods.

80 ships from the Second Martian Battle Regiment fired missile volley after missile volley at the enemy vessels. They halted, keeping good space between them and those missiles. After many seconds, they contiued foreward, Gauss cannons firing 2" grapeshot. The 3", 4', and 6' cannons lashed out, unleashing hundreds of of iron spheres at rapid speed towards the Bajoni fleet.

In all 40 Simeon class missile destroyers, 30 Issachar II class hevy raiders(yeah they're sorta named after you), and 10 Eripham II light battle carriers were committed to the battle.

The Khristian vessels took evasive manuvers, diving, twilring, rolling. Their Gauss Cannons fired into the Gorian fleet. The tuirrets manuvered, as did the barrels, to compensate for the evasive action.

Thousands of fighters surged towards the Gorian fleet. Launching missiles at enemy fighters and their 20mm rapid response Gauss cannons firing endlessly into fighter after fighter.

Fighterbombers brought even more missiles into play against the fighters. Their 70mm and 30mm Gauss Cannons fired into enemy fighterbombers.

Dozens of LO-15 Corvettes came a long with them blasting enemy fighters to nothing.

Fight against oppression? Ha! Have you read this thread at all? He wanted this war, proving so by making unreasonable demands that he fully new that GDODAD would refuse. He was attempting nothing short of extortion. ADK called down the thunder, and now he's getting it.

I'm talking about totalitarian nations, not nations oppressing other nations. I agree that ADK was totally out of character for any nation by attacking unarmed civilians previously. And now you made GDODAD mad about this.

Ahem... I'm going increadibly easy on Bajon, mainly because I knew nothing about his ships. But I'm not going easy on him anymore. His ships are 1KM long. 80% of my ships in my Martian Fleets are Between 1-2KM.

Also, he hasn't responded to my most recent missile attack. Which is ~70,000 missiles flying at his ships at speeds of .3c-.2c(difference for deacceleration) .3c is 90 million meters a second. The distance between the Khristian reinforcements and the Bajoni vessels was most likely 75,000 km when the missiles were fired. And probably 45,000 Km when Gore_2004 arrived.

But on the missiles that's... 90,000 km a second at the most. So...between .5 and 1.2 seconds to hit. Almost no reaction time.



Now let's recap what should have happened when the Benjamen III initiated it's Sakura system.

That's 9,000 missiles at .3c(90,000 km a second) at a distance of about 3,000 to 2,000 km. That's ~.03 seconds to get to the Bajoni ships. Now for 2000 Km... That's ~.02 seconds.

There you have it, I have been way to generous and merciful to Bajon, but no more.

THIS HAS BEEN AN OOC MATHMATETICAL ASSESMENT!!!

Response to the Sakura

The first line of Bajoni ships flew back in space from the momentum and explosions. 24 were lost instantly, while around 30 others lost most of their systems. Almost all ships lost some minor systems, but continued fighting.

The fleet began to draw back as the orbital platforms came into range. The platforms were instructed to take out the ADK missiles, while the Bajoni fleet continued to fight, putting more distance between themselves and the ADK fleet.

"Ma'am, we need to do something about that weapon."
"I know... Officer, what's our position over Mars?"
"We should be right over northern Bajon now."
"Perfect, connect me with ground control."

A few moments later, alarms went off on all Bajoni ships.
On the surface:
<Interfacing With Network... Connected>
<Locating Target Area... Confrimed>
<Charge? Complete>
<System Status? Ready>

Somewhere in the wastelands...
The ground shook as a large portion receeded back, revealing a large chamber. The dark pit began to glow yellow, and heat could be felt
radiating out. This was taking place all around Bajon. A few minutes later, a shaft of light and heat shot up from the ground.

In space...
The Bajoni ships had drawn back to a safe perimeter.The beams shot up from the surface, straight into the ADK fleet. 20 shots went straight into the hulls of the most powerful ADK ships, and out the other side.

Onboard the Bajoni flagship:
"Thank goodness for those Nietzschean plasma shafts."

After the attack, the Bajoni ships flew back into the battle, railguns blazing again. It would take a good while for the Plasma shafts to recharge...

OOC: I built these during the Nietzschean regime, when they extensively fortified Bajon.

OOC on Baoni ships:
A note on Bajoni ships. They are heavily armoured. Bajoni ships emphasize defense more than offense. That's how they take so much damage without being destroyed. As of now, all Bajoni ships have some damage to them, but their durability allows them to stay fighting.

OOC: Just a note - size matters for jack. It just makes you easier to hit. Not a good thing to boast about. Bajon also has a much smaller fleet but spends proportionally more money on it, based on what I know of them and of ADK's description of their fleet. On a ship for ship basis the Bajon ships will destroy an ADK ship without pause.

On the speed as well - either tone it down or suffer the truth of accidental damage to neutral forces. High .c fract may not give your opponent time to react, but it doesn't give neutrals time to react either. Weapons at those speeds this close to a planet with 20+B people on it could be considered reckless endangerment and could get both sides stomped down by larger nations who have thus far stayed out of it. .02c and .03c is still fast enough to do the job without excessive endangerment to civilians and neutrals.

No real reason though. And they can be equally content just seeing the battering. And recording it for fun and profit. :) Soon on Region-free DVD.

To TST: the resume is too... resumed. The thing seems to come from the beating ADK took from Russian Forces(?). As GDOAD refused to pay any reparation, ADK established a blockade against them. Bajon sent two empty, remotely-controlled cargo ships to pass the blockade. ADK obliginly destroyed the ships, handing Bajon a nice excuse to declare war. ADK, instead of doing the intelligent thing and waiting for Bajon to attack, sent a fleet to Mars. Right now this fleet is being beaten by Bajon, under the concerned eyes of all Martian nations. There is a third fleet about to appear and kick ADK's ass some more, but I can't remember by my life who the heck they are. I have one BattleCruiser gathering intelligence data about both sides' weapons and tactics.

Three Benjamen class heavy cruisers, 10 Zebulan class crusiers, and 7 Asher class Heavy destroyers were destroyed.

Space to Ground weaponry had been authorized, yet the problem was, Bajon is surrounded by Freindly territory.


The Khristian vessels continued to fight. All vessels in the first wave had been destroyed, 95% of the vessels in the second wave remained. The last vessels in reserve, 60 ships, made their way to the battlezone. The Khristian fleet had taken heavy losses, but the Bajoni fleet was highly weakened. If they could destroy the Bajoni fleets, other taskforces and battlegroups could be called in to finish up.

A Zeta III Ortillery Platform/Anti-Ship Cannon began making calculations and loading the correct ammunition for hitting Olympus Mons. They would attempt to not damage it too much. Bajon would be forced into surrender, but something to be surrendered must be left.

Six DarkSithian BattleCruisers pass a scant thousand kilometers from the closest fighting ship, towing with tractor beams a huge structure, roughly 120 km of radius, composed mostly of wireframes. Tens of cargo and engineering ships are pushing the structure, helping it to clear the mess before it is accidentally targeted or hit. All involved ships are emitting continuously the same phrases on all bands, "We are not here. Ignore us", but the Force suggestion is not working as the crews are scared witless and the frame is too big to be ignored, so they just appear stupid.

The Vengeful Leech is there, too worried about the passing structure for them to be scavenging, now that persmission has been given. They stay there, oblivious to the battle.

The Bajoni fleet pulls back into the orbital platforms and continues long range firing. The platforms target encoming enemy missiles and take as many of them out as possible.

One damaged Bajoni cruiser could not retreat, and so fired its excess engine plasma directly towards the ADK ships closing on it.

As the fleet regroups, all remaining fighters are called up from the surface, and organize into wave formations, relentlessly attacking the ADK ships at close range.

Onboard the flagship:
"This battle has gone on too long, link me up with fleet command."

A few minutes later, 10 large transport ships approached the back of the Bajoni fleet. As they came into formation, they powered up their engines towards the ADK fleet. As they closed, they fired thier 8 torpedoes, and let their railguns clear all debris and missiles ahead of them. 2 ships were taken out by ADK missiles, but the 8 others flew straight int othe ADK ships. As they did so, 8 massive explosions ripped through the ADK forces. The Bajoni ships had kamikazed in the middle of the enemy.

The Bajoni fleet quickly traced the source of the ortillery shot. It was from an platform none had noticed. The fleet streamed towards the defenseless platform, bombarding it with a barage of torpedoes and railgun fire. Before they had made a full pass, thier sensors showed a critical systems failure onboard. Engines overheating, and non-functional. The Bajoni ships quickly retreated away to clear the blast radius. Once they arrived, they reformed for another fight, as long range sensor beacons picked up encoming enemy ships.

Before the enemy could arrive, one ship went out and laid sleeper mines along the path the enemy fleet would have to take to reach the Bajoni fleet. The mines activated, lighting up all short-range sensors, but as soon as they had, thier signals were gone. The black orbs sunk out of vision among the stars. The Bajoni ship returned back to the fleet, taking its place among the other ships.

Transports streamed from the surface, quickly refueling and resupplying the Fleet. Quick Backup systems were brought up, to get the ships back up and running at full performance again.

The Bajoni General eagerly awaited the arrival of the LCS fleet.

(OOC: They killed Kenny! Bastards!)

As soon as the message from Bajon was received, and Mars Tide was clear from the battle site, the six DarkSithian Battlecruisers turned tail, giving an ample turn to avoid the building to get any stray shot, and with shields up and weapons full online, they went for the flank of the ADK fleet, lasers blazing.
The Vengeful Leech received orders to keep recording and not to engage.
A battle under the sight of Phobos and Deimos. Terror and Hate would truly rule the day. The (Dark Side of the) Force was with them.

(OOC: These are 2.1 Km long battle cruisers, with 70 turbolasers and 100 Heavy turbos. Full specs here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46137&highlight=).)

Encrypted Message to ADK

Mangala is reluctant to commit it's forces to this fight. We don't much like Bajon or DarkSith, and we've always enjoyed good relations with you.

However, an ortillary attack on Mars, ESPECIALLY on Mar's second most recognizable landmark (after the Grand Canal) will NOT be tolerated. If Olympus Mons is harmed or damaged we will throw our efforts behind Bajon, and wipe ADK assests from Mars. We will not allow the planet's surface to come to harm. Our people would rebel!

IC, not at all secret, actually done in as obvious a manner as possible.

Mangalan Fleets assets (at this point 4 ships, working together they are capable of stopping a small to medium sized asteroid, sorry bout lack of detail my specs are at home) moved on a course to put them between the planet and the ortillary platform. (Bajon this is assuming you give them clearance to move over Olympus Mons orbital space.)

ooc: Bajon watch the godmodding on the ortillary platform. Only adk should be able to say it had a core failure or whatever

(OOC: Mangala, reread the attack. Mons Olimpus was attacked. Bajon stopped most of the blow, but the intent was clear: to "decapitate" that landmark. It doesn't matter the attack was unsuccessful. Any sensor in that hemisphere of Mars able to track the shot will give you the trajectory. That is a physical fact.
In DSMC's view, this has put ADK at the top of the "most hated" list, displacing the Vascilian League to a second place.)

Four BattleCruisers more exit the atmosphere, launching their full TIE complement (144 fighters), and raising shields once the last fighter is out. They approach the ADK fleet from below, with the TIEs forming a screen in front of them.

The golden speck sped toward the conflict at a phenonemal speed. As it grew ever closer, it resolved into a long, cylindrical shape, and the emotion which poured from it resolved too, as what had previously been detectable merely as a tiny wisp of hatred, seething impotently in the back of the mind, hardened into a focused loathing: for the nation of Abu-Dhabi Khristatata. For its lands, and for its people, for its ships and its language, even the name itself began to inspire fury in all that heard it, from the warriors of Bajon, already seeking to bring ruin to their foes, to the people of Abu-Dhabi Khristatata itself, who were now wracked with self-disgust.

The emotion was still weak, yet it continued to grow, even as the golden cylinder approached.

OOC: Ugh... the forums ate my post, goddammned asshole forums, so I'll summarize my post.

Basically, Mangala, don't attack me I was responding to an attack made by Bajon from the ground to space which demands a counterattack by Khristian military doctrine.

Second, ships come in firing lasers and torpedos into the Sith fleet.

Third and Last, Lucifer arrives, launches corvettes and fighters and begins looking for targets.

That's about it.

Questions?

Darksith, I know what he did, I was attempting to discourage him from trying again. Basically it was diplo-speak for "we're POed and while we can't really get away with doing anything yet give us one little reason..." Sorry if I was unclear.

ADK: Mangala isn't attack you, only moving defensively (btw 2 more ships just joined the first 4, again, assuming Bajon gives them clearance). However, we couldn't care less about your military doctrine. Damage Olympus Mons and we'll go ballistic. The question of whether or not Bajon should have weapons there is one we'll address later.

The Bajoni fleet continues to resupply before it heads out again. Replacement fighters have been brought up as well, refilling the Cruisers' hangers.

On the surface, the Plasma shafts have had time to cool down and recharge. They are ready to fire if enemy ships come over Bajon.

In Olympus City, a grand funeral was held for the dead worker, lovingly nick-named Kenny. He was the first civilian casuelty of the war. As they proceeded towards the funeral center, people donated money to have him cloned and brought back to life. Suprisingly, enough money was gathered, and the procession turned around and headed towards the Science Complex.

(OOC: Twisted NS version of Southpark, haha! Kenny's coming back to life!) :twisted:

OOC: Did I neglect to tell you that I ignored your post aout destroying that Zeta III cannon, since you obviously don't know anything about them? The thing has manuvering thrusters and other weaponry besides the cannon... It would most likely be firing on your ships with the main cannon, depending on how close you got... But of course your fleet wouldn't know it was armed...

Oh yeah, and we'll just drop Cartman, Stan, or Kyle and Bajon and cuss you to death with endlees obscentities. You bastard, you wrote about killing Kenny :P

(OOC: Hey! Spread guilt in the right direction. I made the South Park remark, not Bajon.
ADK: I got in, guns blazing on your flank, didn't I do any damage? not even shields?)

The flanking ships started to get hit, but the shields held, for the moment.

"Those guys are tough. Polarize shields and fire the Yamatos!"

As soon as the flanking battlecruisers initiated the manoeuver, some shots started getting past the shields and blowing armor, as polarized shields are less effective, but this way they can bring the full force of the Yamato gun and still be somewhat protected.

The four battlecruisers from below, unchallenged, polarized shields too and fired their Yamatos, while the TIEs started mixing in the fray, lasers shooting.

(OOC: I asked Tersanctus. The Yamato is not a plasma gun, but the Starcraft equivalent to a Naval-class Particle Projection Cannon from BattleTech, if you are more familiar with that.)

(OOC: I pulled my fleet back to around my stations in Mars orbit... So if you really want to attack them... There is about 15 million civillians in colonies around there so. Brng it on you bastard who kills Kenny with typed up digital words... God that was lame.)

Several stations were hit and large holes were made in some, yet they were not rendered incapacitated. Sections were blown off some, but the bulkheads held and they returned fire.

Resupplied ships began charging forth out of their docks to meet the enemy. Ships that had not been deployed yet also came forth. And with these ships came 3 Ion Cannon Frigates(That'll take care of your sheilds... hehe...).

Several ships out of the Christ's Blade class were hit. But not too heavily damaged due to their heavy armor. Two of them deployed their blades as the rest backed off and porovided cover as the pair began twirling and twsiting attempting to slice TIE's and Star Destroyers(OOC: Your capital ships, right?) with their several kilometer long superheated blades.

30 Christ's Stiletto class corvettes made their way towards the battle as the rest of the Lucifer's children and the great Lucifer himself hauled ass to get within good firing range of the Bajoni fleet.

(OOC: No star destroyers for me. Starcraft battlecruisers by the look, but the class name is Helios. I posted the specs from the shopping thread I purchased them. IIRC, Tersanctus said one could blow up up to two SDs, taking heavy damage.

And the South Park remark was intended as humorous, not lame.)

"Sir, they are hiding between what appear to be civilian strucutures. We have impacted on several of them, though they seem to retain structural integrity."

"Damn. Let's try to get close to the other four cruisers and see if we can launch our own TIEs from there, though they are falling like flies. I see over half of them already destroyed."

"Sir, the Bloody Leech reports taking heavy damage, shields depleted and unable to retreat. She's advancing to give us time to regroup."

"All right. All units regroup and try to avoid further impacts on the civilian structures. Time for the Yamatos to recharge?"

"Ten more minutes, sir."

"Damn."

"Yes, sir."

In response to ADK's complete ignore of our statements, we have deployed a fleet to ADK territory. Their instructions are - roughly - to burn and pillage.

OOC: Bad move.

IC:

Surveilance satellites in orbit filmed and photographed the fleet from NOD as it began to approach ADK.

Within hours Anti-ship missile emplacements had been alerted. Troops were on the move, tanks rolling. but of course they were rolling and marching into their dropships.

High atlitude bombers and air superiority fighters were being prepped and launched to combat the combined forces of LCS, NOD, and TST, 3 of the 4 most powerful GDODAD nations on Earth.

If worse came to worse, then Earth, and the Solar System could be evacuated. Khrisitians were not above mass destruction.


To the Spacer Guilds,

25% then. We know you'll most likely hold some back from us, but is 25% too hard to ask of you?
OOC: Sorry 'bout the long reply but I lost the thread, literally.
IC:
Ineffable Palace, The Silver Turtle
"Sir, ADK has launched fighters and bombers at us. High altitude."
"Show 'em what our space forces are made of. Have 100 Centaur fighters annihilate them. Also alert the low-orbit aerospace defences, and ground-based missile interception systems."
"Already done sir."
"Excellent. If any ADK munitions get through, I want to know why. I also want the second, third, and sixth Ineffable Armed Forces ready to invade ADK."
"They already are."
"Order them to leave port, and rendezvous 500km off the coast."
"Yes sir."
"And what space forces are there?"
"A sizeable fleet, m'lord."
"Give them the order to attack."
"As you wish."

A thousand kilometres from Mars
"Sir, the order has come."
"Excellent."

Almost half a thousand ships surged forwards, crossing the distance to Mars in a few minutes. Having scanned the battle scene, they moved to a position to enable them to fire at the ADK fleets. Some minor officers pointed out they were cowering among civilian stations.
"So?" was the given response.
Thousands of anti-ship and kinetic missiles were fired towards the mass of metal, aimed so that any missing stations and ships would fly off harmlessly into space. Admiral Klack watched the destruction, and smiled.

The Lucifer moved to intercept the newly arrived TST fleet. He unloaded over half of his missiles into the TST fleet. Some 75,000 missiles in all. Hundreds of fighters spewed out from his belly(hangers) and scores of corvettes with them. His mighty gauss cannons and laser turrets sounded out(the largest Gauss Shells being 15 feet in diameter). Plasma torpedos were launched in quick succession. The mighty Lucifer brought his foreward ion cannon to bear on the largest TST ship, and fired. Boarding pods were readied to seize enemy vessels. Today would be a great victory for Khrista, unlike yesterday.

Satellites that had been scanning TST picked up the increased activity. They saw the fleet movements and the aircraft launching. (OOC: I need to know if you still have ships in orbit above your nation.)

The point defense systems went active on stations in ships as lasers rapidly began taking out missiles with a 55% effeciancy rate. But many stations were hit and two colonies destroyed. By now almost all Khristian vessels were engaged in combat with the Sith(OOC: So you'll most likely hit some of their vessels), and 15 ships were destroyed by the onslaught as many more continued fighting the Sith, but attempted to manuver the enemy in the line of fire.

As soon as the news was heard by Emporer Adnedhel, authorization was given to use sonic weaponry against TST. 5 million Khristians were dead, and the dead must be avenged.

'Today, the bastard nation of The Silver Turtle killed 5 million civilians in orbit around Mars. I have authorized use of sonic weponry and revenge shall be taken. The death toll on our enemies shall be 5, 10 times fold! God shall hand our enemies over to us. The blood of our soldiers stains the ground of many nations, but the bones of those nations are the foundation of our empire. Like our enemies of old, thjese new enemies shall be trampled under us and their bones shall be used to build roads and houses in our newly acquired territory!'

OOC: You're engaging the third fleet. The second fleet is in the asteroid belt, and the first is above The Silver Turtle. Spysats over TST wouldn't pick up any increased activity. TST is located in the northern polar circle, ice all around. No ports. The fleets are from puppet nations, namely Whang, who're all members of The Ineffable Empire.
The third spacefleet consists of (not listing support ships)
30 Horizon class assault ships
15 Jovian Storm class heavy cruisers
30 Wrath of Achilles class DSAs
70 Pride of Jupiter class frigates
300 Centaur class tactical fighters
500 Jovian Lightning class fast-strike fighters
You're fighting, not including the fighters, over 10,000 missile tubes, capable of launching two missiles a second. And they carry an awful lot of missiles. And I'm stopping mentioning numerical statistics here before an uber-number-wank follows.
And what the hell is sonic weaponary?
IC:
The Blue Horizon, HorizonClass Assault ship, flagship of the Ineffable Third Spacefleet
"Sir, incoming missiles. A large ship is launching an all out attack on us!"
"Does he even realise what this fleet is capable of? Evidently not. Have the frigates and the fighters engage and destroy the missiles and fighters. Have the assault ships and DSAs take evasive action, I don't want them hit. The heavy cruisers and the frigates can take the brunt of this."

As the oncoming missiles approached, the frigates fired flak-like rounds, detonating thosands of missiles in each go. Laser turrets cut swathes of destruction through the oncoming mass. The midsized, powerful attack craft swerved to the side of the battle, avoiding the worst of the destruction, allowing point defence lasers to deal with any stry ADK missiles. One heavy cruiser, unable to evade the oncoming ion blast, was split in two, resulting in the loss of all crew due to loss of air. Fighters were vaporised, unmanned ones throwing themselves in front of plasma torpedoes in order to protect the capital ships.
But then the retaliation came. Hundreds of remaining fighters fired small anti-ship missiles at the boarding pods. Hundreds more engaged in lightning strike combat with the enemy fighters, sometimes reaching speeds of 80 PSL. Then the capital ships turned on the Lucifer. For two full minutes did the mighty guns of the third fleet blast out. Over a quarter of a million anti-ship missiles flew towards the beast, coming from the now fairly widely dispersed Ineffable fleet. What had served to protect the fleet from the enemy missiles, now protected their missiles from each other. The second fleet, hearing reports of the battle, moved towards ADK space above Earth. If they tried WMD, they'd be annihilated.

You can scratch one of my fleets, but do anything to my lovely nation and my boys will ensure you don't have one. Ground forces are already preparing incase they need to. Try any form of WMD on me, and, not only will it miss me personally, but I'll have you pulverised with ortillery. Ballistic missiles aren't the only way of delivering nuclear weapons. I've been looking for an excuse to test out my new cluster version. I'm sure you don't want to find out what it does, almost as much as I want to.

The evacuation of all Earth assets began. Hundreds of millions of people began dissassembling their homes and making for the orbital colonies at L2 Point. ADK was leaving the Earth, only token military assets would remain. Retaliation with nuclear weaponry would not fare very well if there was nothing to hit. Over a Billion people already inhabitated the colonies, and the true center of government for decades had been the space fortress A Boa Qu.

Seven LO-7 Bloodbath MkVI Super Bombers flew at 600,000 feet towards the Northern Polar Ice cap carrying sonic weaponry that could shatter steel and titanium, and rip a man apart.

The First through Third Battle Regiments in orbit around Earth made their way towards the First TST Space Fleet. 900 ships had been gathered, but they were of course the oldest ships in the entire fleet.

(OOC: I didn't launch the boarding pods yet... and those missiles must not be traveling very fast... Like .00001c or something.) The Lucifer brought his electromagnetic sheilds up as his children hid within his protective veil as the missiles futilely bombarded the sheilds and merely impacted on the cloak of refuge. The mighty Lucifer continued to fire his lasers like fire out of a dragon's mouth. His powerfu Ion Cannon charged taking aim of a Horizon class vessel. He fired, like a mighty sword the stream of ions went forth.

All Khristian vessels from around the Solar System, excluding Earth, made their way towards Mars, in all some 300 more vessels to continue the fight.

"Now...", General Sil said with a solemn tone. Under her helmet, she was grinning sinisterly, being taken over by the fever of war. "Whipe the pigs out..."

The Bajoni fleet, in perfect formation flew out from orbit, charging right at the Lucifer. The fleet opened fire, pinpointed spots on the ship, going for critical systems. 95 Ships unloaded a volley of torpedoes, and then let their railgun banks rake the Lucifer. They let their railguns clear the space in front of them, as the V's flew in waves, pummeling the ADK ship over and over and over again.

"Launch fighters..."

Thousands of remote fighters streamed from the Bajoni formations as they passed by. The fighters engaged the Lucifer as well, capitalizing on the hits scored by the fleet as they flew by.

After all the formations had made a pass, the Fleet fell back, regrouping and flying in again, using their railguns to clear the space ahead of them.

"Ready the Kamikazes..."


On the surface, Bajon went into Military lockdown. The City was secured, the MI's were called out. All defensive turrents, silos, etc were activated to highest alert. The Mech divisions were placed on stand-by in their hidden bases. In orbit, Bajoni satelites linked up with the Mars network, to provide 100% sensors of everything happening around Mars. The orbital platforms charged up, recieving and processing tactical data. At Bajoni fleet command, AI's borke down the flood of data from the battle, analyzing it and finding every possible flaw for both sides, and finding the best ways to exploit and protect against them...

The shots from the Bajoni ships hit the Electrogmagnetic sheilds and shattered into very small peices. (OOC: Only weapons like lasers can get through those sheilds, and unfortunately for you, you don't have any...). The fighters were safe inside a veil that could not be penetrated by the enemy. Lucifer fired his 4 smaller rear ion cannons into the Bajoni ships, his rear laser turrets opened upon the Bajoni vessels adding to the maelstrom that was war.

The sacrifice of the Bloody Leech wasn't useless. The five remaining battlecruisers joined with the other four and started launching their TIEs (180 in total) that joined the remains of the earlier TIE wave ( orig. 144, remaining 52) and kept attacking the ships and trying to avoid further damage to civilian structures.

The nine remaining battlecruisers ended the recharge cycle for the Yamato guns and let another barrage. Laser fire kept going unmercilessly. Shields were almost gone from enemy fire and some hits got through into internal damage. It was fortunate the ships were ready for naval action and didn't have their complement of troops. The personnel losses at this point would be in the tens of thousands, instead of the thousands.

The Vengeful Leech, still recording the battle, was ordered to get further away from the battle and keep recording.

IC:
Aboard the Blue Horizon:
"Why aren't our missile hurting that thing?"
"It appears to be putting out a massive electromagnetic shield of sorts."
"Are they still firing missiles through it?"
"No sir, the only weapons penetrating it seem to be lasers and their ion cannon..."
Just as he said this, the Ninth Frontier exploded as it was hit.
"S>it, that was a good ship. What are our best laser-carrying ships?"
"Erm, mainly the fighters, the frigates and the assault ships, but the fighters might not be able to get close enough, their lasers are just short range."
"Have the heavy cruisers keep up a missile barrage, and have the frigates and the assault ships assume this attack pattern*shows the crewman something on a screen*...Dodge any incoming laser shots, and take out all their laser turrets with our lasers. Then go for the critical systems, mainly the shield generators. Have the DSAs standing by for when those shields come down. I want that thing destroyed."

Ineffable Space, above The Silver Turtle.
"Admiral Klack sir, an enemy armada is approaching, apparently intending to wipe us out. A fleet of high-altitude bombers is also entering Ineffable airspace, they seem to be carrying some heavy weaponry."
"Damn. What does the second fleet say about ADK space?"
"ADK appears to be evac-ing most of its people into space."
"Have the second fleet engage those craft, then rendezvous with the third fleet and engage the martian battle. Have the atmospheric attack craft and some fighters take down those bombers. And launch, I don't know, about 10,000 missiles to the enemy fleet as a warning shot, and prepare the first fleet for battle."

Being held in reserve, the Combined fleet manuevered the battlefeild into position. They would attempt to attack the flank of the ADK fleet. Soon Admiral Nguyen than gave the order, aboard the flagship the Scott.

"I want all fire concentrated on the flagship, the Lucifer. We will start a volley of rail gun and laser fire, than move in with the fighters."

"Sir we are getting reports that ADK is protected by some sort of electromagnetic sheilding, that is only penatrable to laser fire."

"Than we shall not waste our ammunition. Concentrate laser fire only. Remember, all ships fire primary lasers on my mark at the Lucifer."

"Yes sir, all fleets are ready."

"Fire"

Soon a large amount of laser fire came upon the ADK fleet. Most ships were diverting most of their power to laser fire. This meant the sheilds were weaker than normal, and easeir to penetrate. The Admiral knew this.

"All ships fire at will, launch all fighters."

"Yes sir"

Gunports opened on the the side of the Lucifer exposing a few dozen smaller Ion cannons. All Ion cannons took aim and fired at the largest of the enemy vessels. Lasers targetting laser firing weaponry on enemy vessels. And rear laser cannons attmepted to cut Bajoni vessels in half.

Plasma torpedos were fired, 3 per every large vessel, iun an attmept to wipe out the enemy's command structure. Laser capable vessels were also targetted. Lucifer continued with his massive gauss cannons, firing into enemy vessels. Fighters carrying 5 kiloton, contact nuke tipped missiles(very nice ship killers) were deployed in a large number and the Constantine's Blade class anti-fighter corvette was also deployed. Lucifer also fired more missiles, 95,000 in all exhausting almost all his arrows.

Lucifer was hit by enemy laser blasts, which cleared out a meter or so of his thick armor. Little damage was done and few casualties had been taken.

The remants of the Khristian Mars Fleet continued to fight the Sith. Already some 15 vessels had been destroyed, yet the Ion Cannon firgates fired at the nine battle cruisers, each had three guns which allowed a shot every three minutes for each of them. Point defense systems continued to fire at the TIE's.

The two Christ's Blade class fired their plasma torpedos into enemy ships and attmepted to slice the vessels with their super-heated blades.

Fast Christ's Stiletto ships fired their laser cannons into enemy turrets and their plasma cannons into the underside of enemy vessels and then ran their single blade down through the belly of Sith ships.

The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Battle Regiments made all haste towards Mars, and ships of the First Expaditionary Unit were closing in fast also. In all, 900 more ships to Mars.

The LO-7 Bloodbath bombers had reached their destination. One single bomber dropped an underground-fortress busting Hypersonic. The bomb drilled through the ice of the Polar region down into the ocean. It exploded at 1500 feet shattering all titanium within 2.5 miles of ground zero.

The nations of GDODAD, currently involved in this war, have been given the option of surrender since this attack.


The First, Second, and Third Battle Regiments approached TST's first fleet. They opened up with missiles, 155,000 to be exact, on the enemy vessels, they then moved several thousand kilometers above the missiles and fired their plasma torpedos into the enemy ships, from rear to foreward. The huge mass of Khristian vessels spanned tens of thousands of kilometers, but they englufed the enemy fleet in a dome of death.

ABM and ortillery defenses would attmept to take out any stray shots headed towards Earth.

whoa, I concentrated two entire fleets fire upon you ship, no way only a meter of armour was taken out, and little damage done. take some more acceptable losses dude. The ship, at the least, should be heavily damaged and in need of desparate repair, maybe disabled, and probably destroyed.

--- SDF Fleet HQ ---

Technicians watched the data from the battle over Mars come flooding into the center like a digital tidal wave. A tidal wave that was quickly swamped in the raw computing power of an information titan. The data was broken down, catagorized, cross checked, and analyzed at an astounding rate. Simulations were already been run with the incoming data to attempt to determine the course of the battle and the path of the resulting debris field. With 10-20 thousand civilian vessels over Mars at any one time information was critical. While capital ships could take care of themselves, a speeding chunk of debris the size of a breadbox could wreck an off-loading heavy freighter.

The data came from the VDA - Very Dangerous Array - that consisted of the hundreds of SDF warships, orbital sensor arrays, and the thousands of other ships and resources that were linking into the SDF intelligence network. The data came in, and sped back out again along several branches. One to the backup data center even further under Sunset, another to the Ares Fleet HQ, another to the TYCS HQ, another to MIDAS-II Headquarters and the last straight to the President's desk. That feed was just an overall picture but it told the President what he needed to know.

--- Titan ---

The massive armada of SDF warships in Titan orbit was a cloud in constant flux. As new arrivals to the battle provided more information the ships shifted position in response. If they were forced to enter battle they would have the most efficient formation for what they would face. Currently the StarLancer's were in the lead followed by the Battle Groups. Half the fleet was here - the StarLancer flotilla that normally lurked in the Saturn rings along with the Battle Groups and the Sunset contribution to the TYCS.

"What's the latest breakdown? If we do this, who are we going to be facing?"

Admiral Burgess was in overall command of the Titan wing of the fleet - He was in conference with Admiral Filbeck aboard the 'Solar X' in Mars orbit and Admiral Edge on board the 'ThunderChild' in Ares orbit. They were watching the situation and going over battle plans as the situation changed.

"Consensus amoung the Admiral's and II's is that ADK is the one most likely to do something stupid. GDODAD seems downright reasonable this time around - TST's careful work on firing angles despite taking losses because of it shows they are commited to keeping the war contained."

Filbeck seconded Edge - "Intelligence coming in - no confirmation yet - says ADK has asked GDODAD to surrender. Which means they are either stupid, insane, or have a card up their sleave. Intelligence analysis says no on the later - most of the votes are going to stupid."

The Anti-Funitist Regime of Auman had come under a hail of criticism from other Martian nations, including the Darksith for not making its position known in this conflict. In the first time in the history of the nation and in fact the history of the Vascilian League they had spoken on interstellar issues. The three and a half hour speech given by Lord General Polosh had been some what long winded but concise...the basic message was "If you bring war to Mars, we will bring war to you." Any nation to land troops on Mars, or fight in its orbit will be fired upon immediately, Refugee's will be accepted into the Vascilian League, any attempt to harm them will result in immediate action.


OOC:

By that I mean, The first person to fire a shot in anger near Mars orbit or on the surface of the planet will be shot at by our troops. I dont rightly know or care what GDODAD is, but I wont have no wars on Mars at this time...things are to fragile.

2 Bajoni cruisers were disabled from ADK's first laser barrage. Others took damage, but managed to make the pass. The fleet withdrew just in time to watch the Lucifer drop its sheilds and fire its guass cannons.

After the barrage, General Sil watched the battlemap. She saw two massive fleets engaging the ADK flagship, while another much smaller fleet battled with the remnants of the ADK fleet. She made a crucial decision.

"Bring up those kamikazes. Reconfigure thier sheilding for maximum energy. Take off non-essential life support and other minor systems. I want a steerable engine with a bomb in it. Send them in in diamond formation when ready. That should at least get the back few through."

8 ships arranged themselves for a kamikaze run. Behind them, 8 other transports lined up as well.

However, the Bajoni fleet did not go for the Lucifer, instead, it turned to the ADK fleet and flew in at full speed, using its general tactic of clearing the space ahead of them. As they neared the rear of the ADK fleet, they let their torpedoes fly, while turning and broadsiding the ADK ships with railgun banks. The fleet then turned and retreated back to reorganize another run...

You never roleplayed firing the anti-bomber defenses, and I don't even know how you found the bombers do to the uber-amount of jamming equipment on board. But really, by now TST's ships should be two square meters entering the sun's corona because there's no way in hell a ship can fire missiles at 2 per second per tube at .9c! My God man, people bitch at me because my missiles go .3c. .3c is insanely fucking high. Now then, on the Lucifer ... it's built to withstand several minutes of bombardment by the combined ToY space fleet and the Combined Arda fleet. I think that it could fucking take 4 fleets, especially when putting up sheilds in areas where neccesary. I mean, this ship is more heavilt amrored than a Bajoni cruiser. And after several hours of combat, have of the Bajoni fleet is still around. Ughh... This RP is going... downhill.

Not to complain, but I think part of the problem is that you have over 500 warships, plus earth navies and and airforce, plus space colonies. As I do recall, your nation was all but whiped out several times, and you are relatively new to the space scene. Now, to clarify your fleets, please tell us all when you built them, how long it took, where you were able to build them, and how much over 900 total ships costs you?

The rest of us have had time to build up our technologies and such. It goes to stand our ships would be better than yours. Now, I don't believe your nation could have 500+ warships, and one big uber-ship that can't be beaten by 2 whole fleets. It is borderline godmodding. I am sorry, but I've kept my mouth shut for long enough.

If you can complain about the speed of TST's missile RoF, then I can argue about a economically weaker, newer space-tech nation having such large fleet numbers and such uber-tech.
Now, both sides can agree to tone down thier stuff, TST lowers his RoF, you lower your uber-tech ship abilities. OR, this war can halt. I for one won't let the war just end though. You know you can't win this war, you should have known from the start. Bajon alone is stronger than you (even with your uber-fleets). Now you have 3 of the most powerful GDODAD nations, and 2 powerful Martian nations bearing down on you. Nothing can save you (Though it was smart to pull your assets off of earth.).

If I came across rude or angry, I'm not trying to sound that way. But I'm just trying to keep this thread running.

The points are valid. But the sheilds all around were only up for 7 minutes, and quite frankly Lucifer can't hold out much more. But I'd like to inform everyone that I average in dropships with my fleet numbers, and I have several thousand dropships. But I dropped my numbers around Mars for this RP.

I'd also like to inform you that between April and July ships were being built off and on... But shipbuilding was suspended during the RF wars. ADK is much like the Soviet Union, where almost everything is centered on shipbuilding. We use the Church to prop up morale too. I guess I don't show the poor side of ADK much, but neither did the Soviet Union. But hey... Lucifer's ammo is running low and it'll take awhile for the Laser's to recharge once the battries run low enough. But look at it this way, each laser blast knocks away an inch or so of armor. Then if there's 2 meters of armor, it would take only a concentrated volley or so to make a hull breach. I've just become... emotionally attached to the Lucifer... It's hard for me to say goodbye to the ship.... Oh well. We still have some stuff we can bust out on you. Hmm... how many months have we offically had astronautical warships... 5 months. This is the 6th month. Relatively new? I think not.

On the Bombers... Ask me about a kind of scanning equipment... the LO-7 Mk VI can jam almost anything and everything.... but they're all pretty much peices of 50 year old junk so.. I dunno. (They've like been around since Iatoni Breznakov and the NCADK >_>)

DarkSith Mars Colony
05-12-2003, 11:44
(OOC: Yeah, I was amazed at the size of your fleet. You are fighting the whole DarkSith Mars Colony space fleet. All elev... ten of them (actually nine, one is just there recording and relaying data). Even the metropolis (DarkSith) has just 26 battlecruisers. I try hard to avoid godmodding numbers, but it seems that by the size of my nations I should have more ships and more powerful. Sigh. Is there a word to define an opposite to godmodding (i.e. putting too low numbers for what it should be)? As it seems I am doing so. :)
So don't be surprised I am so reluctant to take losses.
I am taking steps to correct that (the low numbers, not the losses). And NO, the thing that I am building, that passed close to the battle site is NOT a Death Star.)

"Sir, I am not sure what these ships pack, but they have made short work of our shields, and are playing havoc with our computer systems."

"Damn! Concentrate laser fire on those, but keep using the Yamatos against the bigger ships, use manual systems if you must. How are the TIEs faring?"

"Badly, as they have no shields and have to close to fight, they fall like flies. We are at eightysome right now. Two by friendly fire," the sensors officer paused, listening, and then added, " Sir, we just lost the Friendly Leech, and the Dire Leech reports engines out of line. They are a sitting duck."

"Can we tow her?"

"No, sir. Between all of us don't have enough tractors to pull a barge, much less a battlecruiser."

"Damn! Damn! All units! Close the lines and keep firing. Try to shield her and try to bring the tractors on line. I see we need to retreat from here, before are totally wiped out. Let's see if we can get out of here all of us."

OOC: Okay, I'll reduce the RoF of my missiles. It is a bit fast...
And about not RPing the bomber defences, that's because, as I said, I didn't have any time yesterday. Keep reading for exiting accounts of missiles fired at your bombers! As for my fleets, I have a separate billion+ nation whose entire military is my spacefleet, and I only have three fleets. How does 1 missile a second, at 25 PSL sound?
Oh ADK, and could you please explain how your sonic weaponary works? Does it shatter things by making a really high frequency sound, or does it just destroy stuff with a massive shockwave?
And if you do want to retreat the Lucifer, I don't think my captains will be bothered to chase it, 'cos they're new to the battlefield and probably quite emotionally tired.

The Mars battle
"Sir, the latest scans show that about half of the enemies armour has been destroyed, and some of his shields appear to be lowering."
"Have the assault ships fire their rail cannon at the weak spots."
"About that sir, we've lost several heavy cruisers, and almost a third of our assualt ships."
"Damn, but continue firing anyway."

Above TST
"Green Sqaudron, have you located the bombers?"
"Affirmative Gold Leader, turn around and you'll see them."
"Oh yeah...Locking missiles, now..."
"Missile lock inneffective, charging lasers."

Green and Gold squadrons flew towards the bombers. Laser shots lanced out, severing off wings and melting cockpits. When they were close enough, the fighters launched missiles at the bombers from point blank range. Then, as the message came in, they backed off, as the low-orbit air defences sprayed the area with thousands of bullets from their railguns. Then the fighters went in for another round, destroying the enemy with almost ruthless determination.

The First Fleet fired their PDLs. Thousand of the enemy missiles were instantly vaporised by the lasers. Unlike the third fleet, the first was battle hardened. Having fought the forces of the Zoirs ancient enemy, and in the recent Melkor conflict, a few old pieces of junk didn't phase them. Volleys of defensive missiles were launched, destroying hundreds more of the enemy missiles. All those that remained merely caused superficial damage. Assuming a defensive formation, they fired thousands of missiles back at the ADK ships, while orbital railgun and missile batteries fired round after round at the fleets.
Then, appearing with the rising sun, came the second fleet. Abandoning the retreating ADK civilians, the second fleet fired a single cluster nuke, surrounded by several decoy kinetic missiles towards the fleets, to open a gap in the dome to allow the first fleet to get into a better position.
The missile flew forward. As it approached the fleets, the single missile split into seven, one in the centre, and six flying off into a larger circle. Each of the smaller missiles contained a 30 kiloton nuclear warhead. Originally designed to decimate large areas of countries from orbit, using less uranium and plutonium than used for a larger, conventional nuclear bomb. But tests in space have proved it proficient at destroying large fleets, it's currently intended purpose...

The nuke was going too fast for a human to intervene, but to a II it was travelling quite slow. It wasn't a threat yet, but the system kept a virtual eye on it just in case. It routed power to one of the forward weapon systems and judged a safe distance. If it didn't explode by then it would vaporize the weapon before it got any closer...

--- On the Ground ---

Three workers who were overhauling the small Knootoss fleet were taking a break and watching the action. At the bottom of the screen was the ubiquitous Cost Ticket. It was a clever applit developed by someone with a lot of time and a hefty system on their hands that tracked how much the war was costing. Right now the first four numbers were relatively static - it was the next 12 that flew by.

The news broadcast switched to an interview with a betting handicapper who discussed the advantages and disadvantages held by both sides. Betting on the war was extremely popular - billions of di-coins had changed hands already and the government revenue stream from the gambling establishments was significant. While some officers did bet on one side or the other the government refrained despite access to superior information.

Currently the odds were 8:1 against ADK - the preponderance of opposition made it a suckers bet. But there were plenty of suckers hoping for the big payout.
