His High Holy Emporer of Fuitdonia has issued Letters of Marque on all shipping bearing the chief export of Hoydonia (soda - Hoydonia is located in the South Pacific). These letters are a result of Hoydonia's refusal of a generous offer by His High Holiness for payment of tribute owed to the Emporer in the amount of only 100 million manolos (the monetary unit of Hoydonia). In the interest of peace, all nations are being fairly warned to not allow their shipping to carry the goods of Hoydonia.

All praise the High Holy Emporer Georgie.

The Republic of Ozymandias IV maintains the right to trade with any nation of its choosing. We will not allow other nations to dictate with whom we conduct commerce.

Further, we insist upon the right of free passage in international waters and any attempt to interfere with a Republic-flagged vessel will be viewed as an act of war.

What issues Fuitdonia has with Hoydonia are of no concern to the Republic.

His High Holiness, the Emporer of Fuitdonia has rejected the threat of the Fedral Union due to spelling and capitalization errors. Fear is not a word found in Fuitdonian dictionaries. All bully nations like the Fedral Union should take note.

My beloved playthings. We are on the verge of great glory. The bully nation "Fedral Union" has dispatched a fleet to crush us in our bid to retrieve what is ours from the rogue nation Hoydonia, now aided by the puppet state Ozymandias IV.

To this, as a free people, I say, they may bomb our cities, destroy our hospitals and schools (of which the Fedral Union seems to have few), lay waste to our factories and fields. But they will never, NEVER crush our coconuts! YEAGH!

Any attack on Tomzillian shipping with Hoydonia will be recieved as an act of war. All convoys are being escorted by destroyers and cruisers. Any attack by your oppresive nation and you will regret it dearly.

From,
Shogun Tomzilla the First

As Deputy Foreign Minister, we will not be intimidated by threats.

We will continue to trade with whomever we so choose. Because of these threats, our ships will be escorted by our navy. Any action against the ship or our forces will be considered an act of war.

If I were you, back down now Fuitdonia or face serious consequences. We will not tolerate this act of extortion.

The Transport Convoy 3 Delta 1 (3 Transport ships) continues to move towards Hoydonia. It is being escorted by 1 BB, 3 CR, 5 DD, and 2 Subs.

"Anything?" Captain Johnson asked.

"Nothing yet sir."

"Keep your eyes peeled. We have a carrier not far away from us incase the attack comes by air. Keep the one sub ahead and one behind us. I don't want to be surprised by these idiots."

"Roger that Captain."

With that, they go about there escorting business.

(AP) South Pacific -

Three unescorted frieghters reported being boarded by the crews of small ocean going vessels presumably operating under Fuitdonian Letters of Marque. No injuries were reported but the seizure of up to 500 cases of soda and half a ton of chips and salsa were recounted. One transport ship was flagged under The Fedral Union and was reportedly acting independantly of the recent convoys. The other two ships carried Panamanian registration.

When contacted, the Fuitdonian Minister of Information would only say that Super Bowl party plans were on schedule.

The Fedral union ship that apprently seized your goods has found a cash of strage wepons .

Thats all for now.

"Prepare for possible action, but do it quietly." He ordered the other ships aboard the Flare, the Heavy Cruiser.

"Radar, what do you have onscreen?"
"Sir, Fedral Union's here, and Corneliu's there. Not sure where's the enemy."

In the interest of peace, all nations are being fairly warned to not allow their shipping to carry the goods of Hoydonia.

We have a Breaking story from the Foreign Department. Foreign Secretary John Williamson delivered a terse statement in press room moments ago.

Cut to footage

"The Serene Republic of Nannuk does not recognize the authority of any nation to prevent the pursuit of Free Trade amongst the nations of the South Pacific. If any vessel flying the flag of Nannuk is boarded by a foreign power it will be treated as an act of Piracy, and dealt with by our Navy with appropriate force. If any foreign nation fires on or otherwise seizes any shipping flying the flag of Nannuk it will be treated as an act of war On our nation.

I have nothing further at this time.”

We at the NNN will bring further updates as this breaking story develops.

And now, back to our regular programming…

The Coreworlds transport vessel, Corusca Rainbow, flying the flag of the nation, is currently steaming on the sea lanes that is being contested, steaming from New Zealand. It's cargo? Sheep and goats. Their GPS is a little off, and as a consequence, the cargo vessel steams a little too close to Futidonia.

Fedral union ships arrive at the intersept point .
And escort Corneliuian ships .
The Rest of the fedral union ships are still blockadeing.

Methinks CoreWorlds knows His High Holiness, The Emporer Georgie a bit too well.

"Your High Holiness? The coast guard reports a MV Corusca Rainbow near Fuitdonia waters," said Defense Minister Smith.

"Any Hoydonian soda aboard?"

"No, your Extreme Holiness. Just sheep and goats."

"Any sheep named Belle?"

"Not that our intelligence service can be sure of."

"How about beer and pretzels?"

"No, Exalted One."

The Nannuk flagged freighter Triumphsteams toward Hoydonia.

Meanwhile, 30 km away, on the Bridge of the Attack Submarine Constantine

“Sir, there are as of yet no reports of either force moving to intercept any of our shipping.”

“Very well, but keep the plot up to date and I want 2 Harpoons ready to fly on my command.”

“Aye Sir.”

“Helm. Make your depth 200 meters, bearing 277.”

“Helm, Aye!”

2 Fedral union defnder class move to interspet Nuns forces .

(Deated)

Are you telling me that Fuitdonia's navy will attack my merchants if they have any of Hoydonia's soda on board? If that be the case once I lose contact with one of my merchants in the South Pacific; it's unrestricted submarine warfare agianst ALL of your ships Fuitdonia. That includes passanger liners. I presently have three merchants the "Orion", "Red Ocean", and the "Maggie May" in the South Pacific; if your curious.

Message from the Triumph

“Unidentified craft. This is the Nannuk flagged free freighter Triumph. These are International Waters, and we do not recognize your authority here. Veer away! I say again, Veer away!”

The freighter continues to steam onward.

Fedral union ships move towrds nuns vessals flaging them down .

The vessel Corusca Rainbow breathes a sigh of relief, as the lie seemed to work. There are sheep, but more soda boxes, chips and other party goods than sheep. The goods are bound for the reception being planned after the President's wedding.
14 year old Henry Kagato, captain of the MV craft, smiled at his decepton.

This emperor thinks he's all that. He snickered. Wait till I tell the President that the "exalted" emperor of Futidonia has been outsmarted by a 14-year-old kid.

http://www.toonshill.com/cartoni_animati/cartoni_2000/digimon/foto/personaggi_03/henry_wong.jpg

"Better tell the fleets where we are." Henry said to the radio operator. "If the Fuitdonia craft decides to just board, I want them to know exactly where we are."
"All right, Cap'n." The radio operator said. He sent off a message to alled craft, encrypted, that stated the position of the Rainbow, and it's cargo and destination.
Secret to all but Corneliu and Fedral Union: Evidently, it's close to the position of a Seawolf-class sub, the Tsunami, that was also in the area, just loitering around.

[code:1:3355f9630f]To Golden Simitar: Whoa! Calm down! There's no need for that big of a threat. Besides, we dislike civilians being threatened very much, thank you.[/code:1:3355f9630f]

The freighter ignores the demands of the warships and sails onward.

The freighter ignores the demands of the warships and sails onward. Fedral union ships then move ahhead and say this : if you attempt to ram our ships you will be fired upon stop your vessals !

The Triumph slams its engines in reverse desperately attempting to avoid the Federal Union warship that has maneuvered into its path. It desperately attempts to turn away. But one simply does not stop a 1000 ton cargo vessel on a dime…

(Deated )

Fedral union veassl quickly manuver away barly hitting the frighter (scraching it lol )

Fedral union ships then moved behind nuns vesslas and escorrted them

"Fedral Union craft! Stop, immediately and let the Triumph through!" the Flare sent. "It is heading towards Hoydonia! Do not stop it! "

It was almost a desperate plea, to prevent a war from happening.

OOC: Too late...

Slowly, creakingly, agonizingly, eventually, the cargo freighter slides to a halt.

As the Federal Union vessels take up flanking positions near the Victory

“Attention foreign vessel. We state again that these are international waters, and we must protest your reckless acts of vandalism. State your intentions. We have no position on your dispute. As a neutral flagged vessel we expect that you will allow us to get underway again to deliver our commodities to our destination.”

“Victory out.”

Aboard the Constantine

“Sir, it appears the Union vessels have halted the Victory.”

“Very well. Let me know if they board her.”

“Aye Sir.”

"Captain we have ships on the horizen!"

"Report!"

"It appears to be Fuitdonian vessels."

"Now we'll see how they want to play this. Do not hail them. Let them hail us. If they want to chat we'll chat but I want the fleet to maintain current action status. Let us see how they want to play this. Notify the Fleet to maintain DEFCON 4 Status but have them ready to fire if the need arises."

"Right away captain."

The ships move about there business with more urgencey.

Point of order, folks.

Letters of Marque are issued to privateers - pirates really - using their own ships but operating under the "legitimacy" of a government power. They will avoid warships whenever possible, and likely fly the flags of many nations as suits their need.

Secondly, Fuitdonia is tiny. If it has more than a symbolic fleet of coast guard boats, it would be the first the High Holy Emporer heard about.

:D

OOC: All Nannuk knows at this point is that the 'Federal Union' is harassing my shipping In South Pacific Territorial Waters. If this escalates, and it turns out that it is because a neighbor is issuing letters of Marque....

:wink:

I'll check back later tonight to see if there are further developments.

OOC: now your changing your tune. now that's funny

"Captain, we are now in territorial waters of our target."

"Good now let the transports go with a cruiser escort. When they come out, make sure that all the cargo is on board."

"Right away sir."

The three CR move in conjunction with the transports

OOC: I forgot about the definition of letters of Marque!

IC:
"Letters of Marque." Commander Rodrigez noted, rereading the old paper. "Pirates. I thought they were gone centuries ago."
"Evidently not, sir." said Master Chief Petty Officer Walter Reagan (no relation to Ronald). "We'll have to keep watch for them."
"Right."

The Rainbow is still a big, inviting target to any pirates that may try and board, as there really are party stuff among the baa-ing sheep, in boxes below the sheep deck.

The Flare group met up with the Rainbow, and protected it as it goes on it's way. Pirates can look, but they can't touch. :P

OOC: Let me guess...Balance of Power, James W. Huston.

Letters of Marque and Reprisal...a Congress power assigned to merchant ships that's fairly controversial, but I'm not entirely sure of it :P

Coconuts, eh? You're using coconuts!

IC:

We'll stay neutral. The South Pacific can't concern us right now, but Fedral Union is in an alliance that I am also in. So The Zoogie People is watching, but not moving either way.

The remaining ships that didn't go into port with the ships continued there patrol.

On the Sea Dog, Commander Mueler paces the command center.

"Con. Sonar."

"Go ahead sonar."

"Sir we have spotted what looks like pirate ships sir. They appear to be approaching another vessel."

"Lets intercept them and take them out."

The klaxons sounded and the sub set course for there target zone. When they got there, they spotted the ships that were vectoring in towards another freighter.

"Commander, we are in range."

"Lets give them a rude awakening. I can't stand pirates."

With that, 2 torpedoes launched at the pirate vessels. When they launched, 4 more torpedoes launched at the pirate vessels.

::Task Force 86 should arive in the area in one NS Week::

Aboard the Constatine

“Situation report please.”

“Sir. There are currently two vessels establishing an interdiction around the Victory. They have, as of yet, not attempted to board nor capture her. We as of yet cannot tell if they are pirates or some sort of vigilante blockaid.”

“Very well. Keep me appraised of any new…”

“SIR! New contact! Bearing 010 8000 meters! 2.. No. 6 fish in the water!”

“Targets!?”

“Indeterminate.”

“Sound General Quarters. Go hot on torpedo tubes 1 – 4. Maintain standby status on Harpoons 1 and 2. If she has fired on the Victory, engage at will.”

Choruses of Aye’s! echoed around the con, as the general quarters klaxon began to blare.

(Deated)

Slowly, creakingly, agonizingly, eventually, the cargo freighter slides to a halt.

As the Federal Union vessels take up flanking positions near the Victory

“Attention foreign vessel. We state again that these are international waters, and we must protest your reckless acts of vandalism. State your intentions. We have no position on your dispute. As a neutral flagged vessel we expect that you will allow us to get underway again to deliver our commodities to our destination.”

“Victory out.”

Aboard the Constantine

“Sir, it appears the Union vessels have halted the Victory.”

“Very well. Let me know if they board her.”

“Aye Sir.”

Fedral union ships respond : you are entering blockaded waters please move away from the blokaed zone

The peaceful South Pacific nation of Hoydonia is at a loss to comprehend the unilateral agression of the microscopic nation of Fuitdonia, however a strong economy of unoppressed peoples have given Hoydonia a well funded defense.

This has allowed Fletcher class destroyer escorts to accompany ALL Hoydonian freighter convoys delivering quality soda cans to our valued trade partners in the world.

The nation of Hoydonia wishes to thank all of the peace loving nations involved in this incident for whacking up side the head, with deeply discounted soda cans, the psychotic despot who currently babbles in the seat of power of the forlorn squalor that is Fuitdonia.

Re: Current situation in the South Pacific shipping lanes.

PM Hazel, this whole incident can be resolved with the duely owed tribute to His Holy Highness, the High Holy Emporer Georgie. The swift and heavily armed response by Hoydonia's warmongering allies has succeeded in interdicting most of the supplies intended for the Fuitdonian National Super Bowl Party. If the Prime Minister would be so kind as to divert one cargo vessel bearing soda, various chips and dip, and a twelve pack of Michelob Ultra, the debt owed would be considered partially paid.

Sincerely,
His High Holiness, the Emporer of Greater Fuitdonia, Georgie[/code:1:f5f2d5e884]

The ships under my command are an escort, not a blockading fleet. Our duty is to make sure our cargo is delievered and to escort the cargo they are loading onto our ships back to Corneliu safely. If any ships attack us or try to board us will be in for one nasty fight.[/coded]

[code:1:f53ecc584b] THare has been reports of pirets in this area and privetering. so be on the look out [/code:1:f53ecc584b]

All Veritasean merchant convoys in the area will be escorted by destroyers and frigates for an undetermined period of time. Any attempt to interfere with their safe passage in international waters shall be seen as an infringment on the sovereignty of Unum Veritas and the warships shall respond accordingly. The Imperial Naval Republic of Unum Veritas also respectfully, but firmly, requests that the blockade surrounding Fuitdonia be removed immediately. All nations have the right to free commerce, however your nations do not have the right to take aggressive actions after simply receiving a letter with a request in it. Any further aggressive acts on behalf of the blockading nations shall not be looked upon kindly by the Veritasean government, particularly if such acts are against Veritasean flagships.

My ships have a right to be in international waters, i'm with The Fedral Union, the shipping lanes will stay open.

There will be esscort ships with the cargo vessels.

28 type- 45 destroyers (Batches 1, 2 & 3)
12 type- 5 patrol boats (Batches 1 to 5)
16 type- 42 destroyers (Batches 1, 2 & 3)

Trade with allied nations won't just stop. :x

If the Prime Minister would be so kind as to divert one cargo vessel bearing soda, various chips and dip, and a twelve pack of Michelob Ultra, the debt owed would be considered partially paid.

To the Emperor of Fuitdonia:

In the interests of peace and friendship upon international waters, the tranquil paradise of Hoydonia will reschedule a freighter loaded with party essentials to aid the starving masses of Fuitdonia.

However we reserve the right to forgo any delivery of alcoholic beverages that may be the root cause of this recent fit of pique by Emperor Georgie.

We also flatly dispute any debt owed by Hoydonia to Fuitdonia and suggest the Emperor audit his own Sec. of the Treasury and ask his brother-in law to show him the money. :P

RE: Protection


By order of Premier Malcolm current Head of State, The Greater Federation of the Council of Clan. All ships that have not been provided escort will be provided escort through either the blockade or Pirate waters. Any attempt to interfere with ships under Council of Clan escort will be regarded an act of piracy and war. All pirates caught will be submitted to a CoC Admiralty trial and if convicted will be executed. That includes ships that attempt to interfere with CoC Escorts. So any nation that has freighters, oil tankers or other Commercial vessels, that cannot provide protection for said ships at that this time will be provided escorts upon request.

We will move our blocaked .... But keep units in the area . Due to other resons

So long as those units are only defending your commerce rights and act only in self-defense, then the Veritasean government has no objections.

They will only act in defnce or requestment of an escort buy any said nation.

After moving in the fleet, Captain Johnson immediately ordered escort formation.

"Captain we just received a report that our submarines just attacked a pirate vessel."

"Casualties?"

"None on our side but enemy casualties are unknown."

"Good."

The fleet forms up around the three transports and begins to move out away from Hoydonia towards the Pirate infested waters. The lead Battleship continues to keep a vigilent eye out for Pirates and any hostile vessel.

To all nations: Be aware that Fuitdonia, being a dirt poor backwater nation, has resorted to using authentic pirate Galleons and will attack any rum laden transport with extreme aggression.

So shoot first and laugh later. :D

“All right George. What the hell happened yesterday?”

Well Admiral, it sounds like one of our super freighter was interdicted by some sort of third party blockade of Hoydonia, for reasons we have not ascertained. There may have been some confusion on their part, because apparently Fuitdonia has been issuing letters of Marque to privateers to acquire some salsa or somesuch.”

“What?”

“Exactly sir.”

“Well, can we deliver some salsa via tomahawk to leader of this Fuitdonia place?”

“Yes sir, but that might annoy someone. We should probably hold of for now. It should also be pointed out that Captain Jefferies was loitering in the are, and very nearly unloaded his Harpoons at the Federal Union.”

“The Constatine?”

“Yes sir.”

“She’s a nuke boat, correct?”

“Yes.”

“Well, let’s make certain that Captain Jefferies gets a citation for having more brains than cahones.”

“Yes Admiral.”


Later that day in a televised speech to the people of Nannuk…

“Friends, countrymen, citizens of Nannuk. Yesterday morning our great nation was very nearly drawn into war by the overly aggressive tactics of the Federal Union. Due to rumors of piracy within the South Pacific shipping lanes, the Federal Union stopped one of our merchant vessels on rout toward Hoydonia. While we appreciate the concern of freedom loving nations all over the world in assisting with the continued free flow of trade, overzealous behavior can result in tragic misunderstandings with dire consequences.”

“With this in mind, we hope that as these rumors of piracy are resolved in our region, those foreign powers maintain reasonable safeguards against violating any South Pacific Nations territorial waters, and refrain from molesting legitimate shipping further.”

“We hope this rumors are unfounded. But if they turn out to be true, then it will be incumbent on the nations of the South Pacific to provide a reasonable, proportional response directed at the authoring nation of this foolishness.”

“Thank you very much.”

Hoydonia wishes to extend port docking permission and privileges to the UFS ships:

Defnder

Relinet

Galdupe

Mink Harbor is a natural deep water port with full personnel and medical support available.

Hoydonia is not a major arms supplier and may not have acceptable UFS weapons and munitions available.

Diplomatic arrangements for weapons transfer will be enacted by verbal request if need be.

RE: Withdrawal

Task Force 86 will be undergoing a Underway Replenishment then will turn around and head back for Bermuda. The CoC navy is glad this situation did not blow up much worse. Intelligence gathering vessels will remain to make sure every thing stays calm but the main body of the Task Force will Return to Home Waters. We are glad cooler heads have prevailed.
