Coinciding with the release of the Tartaros class Ekranoplan/battleship, Scylla industries has made a united decision to start producing Military and transport Ekranoplans for sale to the nations of the world.
Ekranoplans may not be sold to any nation for any reason. Common reasons include but are not restricted to
-Sour relations with Jordaxia
-Known pirate links
-having been at war with Jordaxia or allies for up to 1RL month previously.

Discounts will be given at my discretion, including bulk orders, and alliance links.

Current ships that Jordaxia is prepared to sell at this moment in time
Tartaros class Ekranoplan/battleship.
"The IJN Tartaros is the flagship of the Jordaxian fleet".
Tartaros WIG Battleship

http://www.bateshome.com/jordan/wigship2.jpg

Designed by Jordaxia, Phoenixius, New Empire, and various other CAP members, this is a revolutionary new wing-in-ground effect craft. Able to move at high speed, it can deploy its 4 main guns to effective results, and then re-deploy before counter-attacks can be made.

Unfortunately these main guns cannot be fired while in cruise mode, and so several missile pods have been installed to allow attack while in the move. Various Goalkeeper and Metalstorm systems keep this safe from aerial units.

Another addition to the Tartaros is its C&C capabilities. Able to control various UAV's and co-ordinate attacks, it is a good vehicle to station your C&C abilities.

Sorry for the lack of detail, but I lost the info in the midst of time. Take a little while to refind it.

Sorry if this has double-topiced, the forum has burped in my direction, and won't play fair.

In case you ain't noticed, Raysia done the pic, and our thanks go to him!
(I thought I gave you credit in this one too....)

General Sidious looks at the specs for the Tartaros and decides he wants one. So he sets his Brandy down after throughly swirling at and proceeds to the telegramaphone he then sends a message.

Hello there STOP I would like to purchase one of your Yachts please STOP The funds shall be carried on the backs of twenty insolent peasents chased by Egyptians on Chariots with whips with Piranha heads on the end. STOP Thank you old chap STOP I would like this gift wrapped as well STOP its an early Birthday present for mineself STOP

Pleased to have an order. Since this is my first order, it will only cost you 2bn. Your Ekranoplan will go through one more thorough check by Jordaxian engineers, whereupon it will be sent to you. Thank you for shopping Scylla industries, we hope you come again.

Bumparia!

Commercial bumpage. Can't all y'all see the potential?

Triggermen wires 15 billion to buy 3 of this item. Awaiting arrival.

What would an assasination squad need with battleships?
Still, what you need them for is not our concern. The order is confirmed, Ekranoplans will be with you in 15ns months.

OOC: Let's just say that if we can't get him up close, we can just blow up the city he's in. :lol:

(OOC: We hardly condone that sort of behavior. I would make sure that it doesn't happen IC. Hitmen are supposed to be efficient. Mass murder hardly constitutes efficiency. You may lose customers.

OOC: Joking, joking. I would NEVER do that.

Getting close to the bed-time bump.

Ah, the bed time bump. The precious release of sleep. The lifesource of all, life, and giver of dreams. As one person so admirably put it
"sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!"

bump. I finished your pic :)

Morningtime bump!
Danke for the picture Raysia, the wake makes the difference, eh? Very nice.

bump. I finished your pic :)

You made that pic? Wow I have to say its amazing.

if by you, you mean Raysia, then yes.
I aksed him to draw it, and he said yes, and now we have an uber nice picture of Tartaros. (Notice how the guns have been triple barreled? That's the way they always should have looked, and the wake just seals the deal.

I WOULD appreciate if it you credited my work somewhere in your original post...

or maybe I'll just watermark everything, since you refuse to give credit :P

did I? Crap....
I did in the Tartaros unveiled one, which is original. Doing it now.

did I? Crap....

Due to bombings of Scyllan shipyards by Shildonia, no more ships can be built at this moment in time. Emergency repairs are underway, and we expect, unless another attack is conducted, that the shipyards will be fully operational in 2years. Scyllan industries has also announced that it will be building 3 Tartaros specialist shipyards, designed to make the most of the modifications done to the Tartaros class Battle Ekranoplan.

(hehe. That's a way of saying bump, don't ya know.)

Hm, interesting idea, not sure how well it would really work. However, I'm more curious about the The JXN-87 naval superiority Ekranoplan, JXN-12 ASW Ekranoplan, Pelican Ultra and Lun2 Guided missile Ekranoplan. Are these all just variants of the same class, or are they seperate designs? Do you have specs? Fauquier also has a large compliment of Erkranoplans. Perhaps we could work together to build a better Ekranoplan? Telegram me your thoughts.

Thank you for your interest into Scylla industries, you should have recieved a personallised response from the CEO now.
Have a nice day.

Bumpage!

Bumparooo!

bump...
