Thunderstraat conquers six smaller nations!

Thunderstraat
04-11-2003, 19:10
The Thunderstraat Navy flashed through the cosmos, aiming at five star systems several light-years "below" their system. They met at a rendesvous point near an abandoned trading post and prepared for conquest.
PINKETT'S STAR
The citizens of Pinkett Prime went about their usual business, doing whatever those far-off places do. Suddenly, the power went out. The night side went dark immediately. Cars crashed. Planes stalled. The populace panicked.
The main power-transmission satellites had failed.
A small cruiser settled down in the main spaceport and ordered the president to capitulate to the might of Thunderstraat.
Two day's later, a treaty was signed. Unconditional surrender to the Star Empire.
SCIVARIUS
The flagship and pride of the Star Empire soared through the Scivarius system with only three fighters for support. As they passed Scivarius IV, a kinetic energy weapon plucked from the outer asteroid belt smashed into the largest city at the same time that a victory message was broadcast. The Mundanstraat settled into orbit around the larger world of Scivarius IV and began firing large-scale nuclear weapons at military installations around the planet.
Within hours, both nations had submitted.
NEW SOUTH HISPANIA
A Thunderstraat battleship settled into orbit around the mostly agricultural world of New South Hispania. Most of the population never knew about the government change. New South Hispania was set as the breadbasket of the Star Empire.
KURUSHIO
An imperial fighter wing enteret the Kurushian atmosphere and started taking near-misses at passenger aircraft. They messed around for a few hours and then flash-nuked the capital.
Every citizen outside on that hemisphere was almost instantly blinded.
The fighters sent a message to the remaining government:
"That wasn't our only one."
Within an hour all resistance had ended.
NEW JUPITER
As the battleships of the Star Empire approached the moon of the enormous gas giant, a spark flashed from one of the planetoids. A battleship exploded, all hands lost. Support was called in, and New Jupiter was eventually subdued, but at a great loss of life to both sides. The New Jupiter System was set as the base for the military of the Star Empire.

wow... you can even afford space ships that can do all this? Who sold them to you, I want to n00k them ;)
Thunderstraat
04-11-2003, 19:22
I built them myself, after I annexed Magnus Isle. They have a buttload of resources in that giant asteroid field.
04-11-2003, 19:22
We find this unopposed imperialism rather worrying, and the Contact section is going to re-route the GCU It Was Like That When I Got Here to the region, to monitor the continuation of Thunderstraat's expansion.

We will also bring this matter to the ESUS.

All Glory To The Soviet!

OOC: That's what you want, right? ;)
Thunderstraat
04-11-2003, 19:26
OOC: Actually, I was formalizing my creation of six puppets... so eventually I can take on Klonor.
IC: To Altaran:
Of course we are ruthless expansionists! We are a member of the Imperialist League of Gentlemen, imperalists and oppressors to the core! And Thunderstraat has not yet recognized the ESUS.
04-11-2003, 19:27
Well, mess with Triton, or any Capsule Colony, and we'll disintegrate you so bad you won't have a single space-worthy neutrino. ;)

You wanted to be 'the official enemy'. :P ;)
Thunderstraat
04-11-2003, 19:29
Yes, but we haven't been recognized by The Mindset yet. We'll recognize if you do. And CC, don't fear, we won't attack you (yet).

Let it be known that if any of the citizens of the Thunderstraat Empire want to Defect to the Capsule Corporation, we will come and pick them up, regardless of whether or not TS wants us to :) Simply because we're Big and Strong and can ;)

HOW DO YOU HAVE SPACE AND THE POWER TO CONQUAR OVER SEVRAL NATIONS WHEN YOUR MADE ON THE 16 OCT 2003

HOW DO YOU HAVE SPACE AND THE POWER TO CONQUAR OVER SEVRAL NATIONS WHEN YOUR MADE ON THE 16 OCT 2003How do you breathe between your poor spelling and capslock shouting? He could have bought a ship capable of taking over another small nation, and grew up from there.

However, someone (me) should probably put a stop to him ;)

Burnout fans, check my empire. Click my name. I have a 235-million population nation under my thumb. I stole my ships from them.

And btw, how did you get this nation "Under your thumb"?
Thunderstraat
04-11-2003, 20:17
Magnus Isle. I got it under my thumb by way of creating it, a couple of months ago.

they are all in my region, with my allies. how is that? and someone made like 40 puppets in my region :?
Xanthal

The Socialist Empire of Xanthal opposes the forceful conquoring of other nations and warns the Thunderstraat Kingdom against initiating hostilities with the Xanthalian Empire or it's Chromestar allies.
04-11-2003, 20:39
Thunderstraat, you can't use a puppet to increase the assets of a main nation, or vice versa (unless you have a proper IC reason for it, IE an empire).
04-11-2003, 20:41
yes, both TS and DC, if they are not realted IC'ly, then i won't recognize it.

Either way, i think i'll nuke you just for fun ;)

i have puppets cumulative of 1.5 bil. this isn't my only main nation. i have this for space and another for modern-tech. I have .5 bil pop from being resurrected. :wink:

Klonor
04-11-2003, 20:50
Tunderstraat, you say you have a pop in excess of 300 million with your new nations? So, that means I only outnumber you about 10 to 1 (probably more, I haven't yet added in all my annexed planets and systems that I conquered IC'ly). Bring it on!

OOC: usually i do. i've mentioned it in so many threads, i just forgot. :oops: same with my modern-tech
04-11-2003, 20:52
in that case I probably have a total of 1.7 billion if you total all my nations together, but they have nothing to do with each other IC'ly...

Either way, can you prove that these nations all have the same governmet IC'ly and are actually part of the same group somehow? And not just OOC "Puppets"?
04-11-2003, 20:53
Am I the only one in the game with a single nation?
04-11-2003, 20:55
Am I the only one in the game with a single nation?I have 4 single nations ;) They have no puppets.
Klonor
04-11-2003, 20:56
I have never once made a puppet nation (except for the GTD Bastion, and that was for a specific RP). I currently own many (both IC and OOC), yet I take pride in having RP'd the take over or transfer of power in every one.
04-11-2003, 20:57
If you create a puppet then annex it, you're probably cheating.
Klonor
04-11-2003, 20:58
I meant I have never once made any nation besides Klonor (and the GTD Bastion), whether it was for puppet reasons or not.

Klonor: OK, watch your back
CC: I annexed MI in a private, telegram war. Basically I stole their flagship and blasted their mining centers. They were all wimps all of a sudden... :)

Oh, I shall. And the Colossus will be there to shoot you in yours

psst...rememer what alliance you just joined. negotiate first, shoot later. thanks
Klonor
05-11-2003, 01:54
I'm kinda joking around. I know Thunderstraat from off NS, I'm not really gonna blow up his space fleet and annex his planets. Although it is quite tempting.
Thunderstraat
05-11-2003, 03:07
Uh, Klonor, you say you have never made puppets, so why do you have four "Klonor#" nations? Who made them?
Thunderstraat
05-11-2003, 03:09
Oh, I shall. And the Colossus will be there to shoot you in yours
Actually, I think the Colossus unnecessarily wastes resources in building it. I have a few battleships in production that are basically hollowed-out asteroids with metal plating and weaponry strapped on that are about 1.5 miles long.

I need to get a mod to sticky my constant explanations of those nations.

I didn't make them, some friends (who I got to join NS 2 or 3 days after I did) of mine made them, but they didn't really care so they just copied all my stats (hence the similar name and money), but after they saw that it was roleplay and that they couldn't actually conquer anybody or really nuke some other nation they got fed up. They gave me the passwords for their nations left, and never came back. Since they left at the same time that I colonised my extra-solar systems I decided to have each Klonor# nation represent one of my colonies.
