Xanthal sends Armada task force to Relafia.

Xanthal
22-02-2004, 18:03
The Socialist Republic of Xanthal is announcing its plans to send a task force of four Intrepid class ships, two Andromeda class ships, eight Sabre class ships, four Dreadnaught class ships, and one Super Dreadnaught class ship to the Relafia system immediately. They will be tasked with assessing the current status of New Xanthal and deciding whether the Socialist Republic must take any action to ensure that the situation does not turn against us. The task force will arrive within the hour, and all colonists of Relafia II as well as their New Arenamor Alliance friends will be expected to grant our ships peaceful and free passage through the system.

You have no business with us. We are an independent state.
Xanthal
22-02-2004, 18:10
Indeed you are, but as former Xanthalian citizens we still have much business with you. You lived here, you know our policies.
New Xanthal
22-02-2004, 18:11
Very well. You have our cooperation, but also our objection. This had better be by-the-book.
Xanthal

Oh, assuredly. We're not going to fight you. Not yet, at least.

The Xanthalian task force enters the system at high sublight speed with all offensive and defensive systems operational. They fan out, poking around the system. A single Andromeda class and Dreadnaught class vessel head for Relafia II.

The battlecruiser is met by XAS-146, a Super Dreadnaught class tactical vessel. It halts in space and faces the criuser as the rest of the Xanthalian fleet continues by. It hails the offending craft.
"This is Xanthalian Armada Starship 146. Move aside. We are here to assess the status of New Xanthal."


Super Dreadnaught class (heavy tactical): $2,000,000,000,000
An enlarged, modified Dreadnaught class, the Super Dreadnaught sacrifices maneuverability for increased firepower, better defenses, and higher capacity for slipfighters. The Super Dreadnaught has a massive weapons load, and hardly ever needs resupply.

22-02-2004, 19:50
We are not here to fight, but we will if you fire so much as a peashooter at us. Do not tempt us. We and our allies can easily topple your entire alliance of tiny nations. Libertariaria is the only one among you that poses a threat to us, and they too will fall confronted with our allies at our side. A war is not needed here. You do as you wish, but do not attempt to hinder our mission. Think rationally. You are no match for us if you fight. We will be here for twenty-four hours, then we will leave peacefully. You will have only yourselves to blame if you start something. Now if you don't mind, we'll continue with our survey. XAS-146 out."
The large ship uses its gravity manipulation system to simply push the cruiser out of the way and moves on towards the fourth planet.

OOC: That push shouldn't damage your cruiser. The Xanthalians aren't here to start a fight.

Official Goverment Announcement regarding the Xanthalian Task force entering the Relafia system:

The Principality of Skeelzania is a small, peaceful nation with only a planet based army of 20,000 for defense and as of yet no means of carrying on an interstellar conflict. As such, our only choice in this situation is to allow the Xanthalian task force free movement through the system. But we warn this powerful nation, any act of aggression against any member of the New Aranamor alliance will be regarded as an act of war against the Principality. Despite our small size and lack of warships, our armed forces will attack the enemy with a unparalled ferocity and, if ground combat came to the home worlds, the entirity of the population of the Principality will take up arms to battle the aggressors, so as to perish in glorious combat than be subjugated by alien overlords.

__________Open Broadcast__________

As a member of the alliance the Workers and Farmers of Belfast III offers passive resistance to the depredations of Xanthal. Our small ground based army, 10 000 strong, is highly trained and the few space capable ships we have will be used in Kamikaze type attacks against the agressor nation if it is such an agressor. Other than that Xanthalian ships will be allowed free passage through our region of space.

The probe kept the hyperspace window it had used to get to the system open. It was transmitting a message!

"This is High Admiral Nelson B. Clark of the Nanakaland Navy and Space Forces," said a voice broadcasting from the Crab Nebula. "I myself am not there because I am attending to other ... duties - yeah, duties. It is classified, but it affects the entire saftey of the universe from an alien race known as Stalkers. That's about all I can say. Oh yeah. I think that this is a tremendous overreaction on behalf of all of these nations involved."

[OOC: Admiral Clark is currently in the RP, A Scream in Space (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121721). Reading it would explain why he's broadcasting from the Crab Nebula, especially Page 8 (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2784666#2784666). That RP may soon overlap with this one if this turns into an interstellar war.]

SCSS Gunstar, Transmission from Bridge

This is High General Danav Re'Tan, I will not leave this space. I see that these Xanthal forces are wise to keep ready, and I thank them for cooperation. However, to all other forces, we see fit to....leave weapons offline. Our Ionic Hull Plating is natural, thus this cannot be controled, it is just a reinforcement for the Titanium Hull. Anyway, we shall not interfer, yet if this war escalates beyond that of a Battle/Skirmish, then we shall attempt to stop again. We shall not have an Interstellar War, we shall only have this battle, and only this battle. Return to whatever you were doing, for we see fit to.....watch.

The SCSS Gunstar stops a few ways away from the battle area, weapons offline, watching for any signs of the battle turning into a Great War.

The Xanthalian ships are halfway through the system now, passing the sun and surveying the planets on the far side. The Andromeda in orbit drops its shields and sends two small shuttles down to the surface at the location of the New Xanthalian settlement.

The Relafia system (7): The home system of New Xanthal and Tristan Aloman. It contains five inhabitable planets.
-Relafia I (no claim, habitation dome, uninhabitable lunar planet).
-Relafia II (no claim, no establishment, uninhabitable tropical desert planet).
-Relafia III (full claim, no establishment, inhabitable subtropical desert planet).
-Relafia IV (full claim, capital planet, inhabitable various climates).

OOC: I'll assume you're talking about the Andromeda that's not in orbit since that one dropped its shields.

IC: The Andromeda class immediately responds with two torpedos across the Eleman's bow and five phaser beams across its dorsal shields. The torpedos detonate harmlessly 500 meters from the Eleman, the phaser beams cause significant shield damage. The Andromeda doesn't even slow down, but continues on its way, still surveying the system. XAS-146 replies to the New Breseldenberg. "If you want to talk, talk to our government. Next time you fire at us you'll lose a lot more than shield power."

The Xanthalian fleet arrives on the outskirts of Alliance territory, but halts just short of the border. They stay alert, ready to cross if their ships are fired upon again. Meanwhile, the Xanthalian fleet is almost finished with its survey. Vessels break off and head to rendezvous with their fleet on the border as they finish their task. The survey is completed in minutes and only the Andromeda and Dreadnaught in orbit remain along with four more Dreadnaughts and the Super Dreadnaught class XAS-146, all of which join the other two vessels in orbit of the third planet to deter any more enemy aggression. The rest of the Xanthalian fleet presence sits tickling the border, keeping a close eye on their ships. The Andromeda in orbit sends down three more shuttles as one of the first two returns to dock.

He is a strongly-built middle-aged Xanthalian male wearing the official uniform of a Xanthalian Dictator. He is sitting with his hands folded in front of him at his office on the top floor of Xanthalian Government Headquarters in downtown New Krytan on Aellis V. Behind him a giant window affords a view of the bustling metropolis beyond. He speaks in the voice of a leader, strong but not harsh. He has an accent that sounds almost Russian. "Greetings.

Even with your alliance friends you are still no match for us. Recall that it was your people who made this a hostile situation. You fired the first shot. Now, I did not intend to fight you from the beginning, and I do not intend to fight you now. However, if you keep up the negotiating tactics you've been using so far, I will see every last one of your nations under the fist of the Republic. We will not tolerate a hostile neighbor, and we will eliminate you before you become a threat to us if need be. So, René; what exactly would this peace you suggest entail? A treaty? An alliance?

OOC: Xanthal's government hides almost nothing, and doesn't even keep sealed records. It is based on giving full and truthful information to all interested parties. Of course, the Ministry of Intelligence is the exception to those rules. When it comes to diplomatic talks though, Xanthal will record everything and place it on record for all to see.

Article one: This treaty is valid once signed and agreed upon by official authorized parties from Xanthal, New Xanthal, and a representative of the New Aranamor Alliance.
Article two: Once validated, Xanthal, New Xanthal, and the New Aranamor Alliance governments, as well as the governments of all nations within the New Aranamor Alliance, are bound by internal and international law to abide by the terms and conditions herein.

"Signed. Pleasure doing business with you. Our fleet is finished in the Relafia system, so it will be departing shortly. Good day."

A few minutes later the Andromeda in orbit of Relafia III retrieves its last shuttle and departs with its Dreadnaught and Super Dreadnaught escorts, rejoining the rest of the fleet at the border. Together the Xanthalian ships come about and head back to Xanthalian space at low FTL speed.
