0100 hours: Military airbase: Eithiotopia
Two scout aircraft patrol the area.
"I'm tired." pilot George McNally said.
"Then deal with it." Said Commander Viklar Sophere, with a huge yawn. "Know what, I think it's way past shift."
McNally looked at his watch. They were one hour past shift time.
"Yep, yur right" McNally said to Sophere.
They turned back towards base. As they moved closer, their scanners picked up strange, garble static on their radios. They listened hard. It sounded like an Eithiotopian signal, however, it was being blocked. Then they both heard a familiar sound. The sound of a stinger missile being released from an aircraft. McNally's G-12 Eithiotopian scoutplain exploded.
"Are you there?" Sophere repeated over and over into his transmitter. No reply. He looked upwards, only to see an Eithiotopian Alpha fleet carrier flying towards the base. Small light attack craft sped from the cruiser, firing at Sophere. His G-12 exploded as well. Then the crusier turned its attention to the airbase. It charged its heavy bombard guns...

(OOC: finish in morning. don't make fun of the cliffhanger.)

The cruiser took fire on the airbase, destroying it in two shots. It then landed tanks and troops. They moved out across the country side, looking for more to destroy.

President Hiroshi Bagashi made a public broadcast to everyone in Eithiotopia, interupting all channels.
"My loyal citizens, we are under attack from our own army! The fleet we once thought was stable and powerful, has betrayed us and our country. We must strike fear into these people and once that has happened, we shall defeat them."

The government of Nadaskor would like to know who's fighting who and what their motivations are, before we ignore this conflict / send in peace keepers / take sides. Enlighten us please.

It's a civil war, so I just made this nation so I could have an actual target, not just myself.

As Alpha squadron moves closer to the capital, the suddenly find many other Eithiotopian gunboats, all stocked with guns and ammo. The cruiser unleashes the hellish intercepter fleet to assualt. The intercepters are remote controlled from the carrier, so they are small, only big enough to hold two small laser guns. They swarm and attack. 50 interceptors are lost in assualt.

all 15 gunboats are lost.

General Adam Tallie was the first to ask this obvious question, "who is the rebel leader?"

"This is a question we will not know until they choose to reveal it." Replied President Bagashi.

The dark overlord stood, ready to send a transmission to Bagashi.
He sent this:
Bagashi, you are pathetic scum! Your men were easily manipulated into fighting against you! We lead your own people. The end is near, Hiroshi.

It's a civil war, so I just made this nation so I could have an actual target, not just myself.

Ah then we will not be involved other than to condem the slaughter, we only act if innocent socialists and anachists are being attacked (or attacking their fascist / imperialist / capitalist oppressors); or our national interests are threatened.

"Damn them" Bagashi yelled once he recieved the transmission. They went out of their way to take our soldiers out.
"I want them found. Fire at will once they are found. GET THEM"

:twisted: You will never catch our men. We have left to The Xhanglii. You wouldn't dare follow us, would you Bagashi?

We will follow you. Send in WISP scout fighters.
