In order to not overtake Vampirian City's war with Vorpistan, I have decided to move Brindisi's suprise attack on me to here. If you would like to join this war please do so in this thread, not the other. Thanks.

Also, I will be moving the older posts of this new war to here.

If you are interested in joining in, TG the side you wish to join.

Posts in order:

The Brindisi military sat quietly off of the silent shore awaiting clearance to move into one of the greatest attacks in Brindisi history. The bright city on the horizon was calling to the men. An attack here would not only bring an entire nation to its knees, but perhaps even cripple an enitre alliance. The men knew they would have to work fast. The plans had been delivered and the tactics would be tricky. The road to the capitol city would be a rough one, but if done decisively, nothing would be able to stop them.

Governmental Confines, Yandrone City, Brindisi

Supreme President James Scott stood ready to give the orders of attack. He knew that he was leading his people and nation into one of the greatest battles in their history. He knew that a single mistake, one tiny miscalculation would turn the whole tides against them. He could not allow that to happen. The plans had been checked and re-checked. If done correctly, they could not fail.

Military advisor Howard Mercon entered, James looked up and nodded. Howard smiled reassuringly and then quickly left the room. James let out a strong sigh. He knew not of the onslaught he had just brought upon the new adversary, but this would be a battle not soon forgotten.

Back in the waters off the coast

"Sir! We have just recieved word that we may begin our assault." said Patrick Higginsby

"Most excellent. We will move out immediately, may god watch over our troops in this most trying time." replied Michael Yatribson

The ships moved silently through the waters, trying not to call too much attention to them. It was starting to fall into night. The slinked ever closer to the shoreline, the skyline of the grand city was now visible. The lights grew closer and closer.

Miichael wispered to his closest friend John Granger, "We are about wage war upon an unsuspecting nation. We must have no fear. Their communications to outside their capital are already under attack. This nation will fall in pain before us!"

Both of the men laughed. Michael stood up. "Everyone to their places! The war is beginning!"

Hundreds of jet fighters left the decks of the carriers. Within minutes the skies over the Jarridian city of Westwood were illuminated. The bombs ripped apart the towering commercial district and many parts of the residential sectors.

After the initial bombing run, hundreds of thousands of men marched onto the shores of Westwood. This was an opportune time for an invasion with the Jarridian economy in crumbles and recent cuts in the military budget. The city was quite simple to take, and the Brindisi Infantry's first target was the headquarters for the WWA Government.

Sitting atop its hill surrounded by a gate the tall building stood. The marines launched an assault against it, destroying everything in sight. The building was set ablaze, and the documents of the WWA were burned.

The city was now under control of Brindisi, more and more men poured onto the shores to fortify surrounding areas. Buring towns and villages, and destroying all routes of trade, transportation, and communication.

Brindisi forces quickly moved to capture other cities: Tantum, Lisoton, Trigun and Pursley, along with the southern mountain range and a main river. We have reports of capturing airforce and army bases both active and abandoned.

OOC: When Jarridia reads this, could he please post a map?

Also, Brindisi....you just made a big mistake.

IC:

Shelbin, Jarridia; Presidential Palace

Jarrod Branam stood silently, gazing out towards the strangely deep red sky of the southwest. He seemed quite troubled about the strange skies, and his wife came out and took his hand.

"Honey, you seem worried. Is everything alright?" asked Shelby in a soft voice.

"Oh...yes. But...Jarridia...she seems to hurt tonight. The sky is so red, it is a strange sight in our skies." said Jarrod with a sigh.

He had yet to be informed of the attack against this nation, as was the rest of the government in Shelbin.

"I'm sure its nothing. They had said the weather may be changing, maybe that is what you are seeing. Now come to bed" said Shelby with a reassuring smile.

"I suppose you're right" he said as they turned around and walked into the room.

Little did he know that southwest Jarridia had been a warzone for almost an hour now. Jarrod and his wife had gone to bed when suddenly Keithan Weaver, the president's military advisor barged into the room.

"Mr. President! Jarridia is under attack!" said Keithan as he turned on the light.

Jarrod sat up quickly, grabbing the robe hanging next to him. He put the robe on and stood up as he tied it.

"What?!?!" said Jarrod shocked.

"We've recieved a very limited report that the nation of Brindisi, an ally of Vampirian City, has made an invasion of southwest Jarridia and has caputred most of it. We aren't sure where they are going or what they are here for, but you must come immediately." said Keithan hurriedly.

Jarrod kissed his wife and then exited with Keithan. They walked quickly towards the center dome and on to the west wing (offices). As they turned in the center court a missile struck the east wing sending Jarrod and Keithan towards the ground. Jarrod turned around quickly onto his back gazing at the flames and smoke of the east wing.

"Shelby" he yelled, as he got up and ran towards the collapsing doorway, "Shelby," he yelled again with saddness filling his voice. His eyes filled with tears when she did not answer. He turned towards Keithan and said, "If Brindisi is the perpetrator of this attack then we will fight. We will win, and all those who have plotted against us will pay! Get the National Guard on this immediately. We will repel the enemy!" yelled Jarrod as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"We can't." said Keithan.

"We...can't? What do you mean?" said Jarrod shocked.

"They've cut all communications. We can't do anything from Shelbin." said Keithan.

"We must think of something. Jarridian shall not fall to these murders!" said Jarrod as he turned towards the east wing again.

"Sir...where are you going?" said Keithan concerned.

Jarrod pointed at the west wing, "Get Kim and make a plan on what our retaliation is. I'm going to find my wife."

Jarrod climbed into the rubble, calling her name, and praying that she was alive.

FLAG SHIP OF 7TH FLEET - AFTER BRINDISI ATTACK ON JARRIDIA

Admiral Jack Barber stood beside the Lieutenant at the helm as he looked out of his binocaculars. The phone ringed one of them me answered the phone, "Lieutenant Commander Richardson of the USCS Enterprise. Who is this?"

President Wittrock with an uneased voice, "Get me Admiral Barber on the phone, Commander."

Richardson looked over to Admiral Jack Barber, "The President sir, he wishes to speak with you."

Admiral Barber quickly walked, "What can I do for you, Mister President?"

"Admiral, unfortunately an ally has been attacked. We need the 7th fleet to intercept the Brindisi."

Admiral Barber nodded his head, "Right away, Mister President."

"Don't fail, Admiral."

The President hanged up the phone.

"Get me the coordinates of the Brindisi fleet. Once we get it, send it to all vessels and intercept them at all cost. We have to stop them."

________________________________________________________________

We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to bring you the following live coverage. We believe the President of the Allied States of Expedience is giving a speech concerning the attack on Jarridia by the nation of Brindisi.

- My fellow members of The Allied States of Expedience, I know that by know you have all heard of the attack that has transpired on the land of Jarridia. The outrage both at home and abroad for this incident has been intense, as we have watched peaceful areas of Jarridia fall into ruin before the onslaught of the aggressive Brindisi.
The Allied States of Expedience will not stand for this brutal disregard for the rights of sovereign territories. In light of the long standing alliance between our two countries, as well as to promote our own security, and that of the region as a whole it is the decision of our country to defend Jarridia.
As such, effective immediately by order of the congress of the member states of expedience and signed into action by myself we have decided to commit combat troops on behalf of Jarridia. By this time units of our elite combat forces have already landed in Jarridia, and are leading an effort to stabilize the area, and regroup the remaining Jarridian forces. The timing of this message was delayed in order to ensure that the troops would be able to land without undue interference.
Further, Expedience's active military is herby put on a war footing, with many active units to begin preparing for immediate mobilization. All reserve forces are also being activated in preparation for the coming conflict. The government has already come to arrangements with the vast arms manufacturing industry within our borders, and after much debate the government has agreed to fund the war through a combination of bond releases and a temporary tax increase. For all of those concerned about the negative ramifications of this tax upon our powerhouse economy I would like to reassure them that it is purely temporary, and should be counterbalanced by the decrease in unemployment due to the increased military presence.
Our hearts and minds go out to the people of Jarridia as they attempt to fight off these aggressors, as well as to our own troops, those elite forces currently fighting in Jarridia, as well as the forces that will soon enter. We all hope that a swift victory may be achieved with the intervention of our troops, but we are prepared for a long campaign if it is required. May the forces of Expedience and our allies achieve swift victory!

This concludes the presidents speech, we will now return you to your regularly scheduled programming already in progress.

"Lord Conqueror," screams Lestat. "Brindisi has attacked Jarridia."

"WHAT!" he reponds.

"Yes, we jsut got word of it. What should we do?" he asks.

"Theres nothing we can do at the moment. This is an act of free will. I thought we made it clear not to go into that mortal country." responds the Conqueror.

"Yes we did my Lord." says Lestat.

"All of our resources are poored into the Vorpistan War. We will not support the war. Nor will we help Jarridia. He has many allies and can withdraw the attack. For now we will focus on the task at hand. And Once we crush Vorpistan we will deal with this travisty." says the Conqueror.

Admiral Barber alerted the Commanding Officers on the other vessels and submarines to intercept the Brindisi fleet at all cost and nuetralize it in the revenge of their attack on Jarridia, it was clearly against the regulations of the VC-Vorpistan War.

________________________________________________________________

I, Queen Shelby, along with the citizens of Utcheer are purely outraged by the attack upon Jarridia. This peaceful nation made no threat or act of war against Brindisi or any of its allies. It has therefore befallen us, a righteous task. We shall protect our ally at all costs. I am asking that President Jarrod Branam activate the full power of the SJDI and respond to the invading party with utmost power. We will not allow our grand ally to be threatened by a nation just because they felt it was the opportune moment.

To all Westwood Alliance Members. This is a very strange time we have come upon. With our founder engaged in a horrific battle for its life, and the city we are centered in destroyed, we must work closer than ever.

Vorpistan. Smithsilian and I have continued discussions on your situation at hand, and we will continue to fund your cause and will send our current amount of military into your nation.

Let it be known to all nations that are against our allies. Should you choose to decieve us, or our allies, you will pay the price.

A toast: Here's to those who wish us well, and those who don't can go to hell.

Thank you.

Queen Shelby


Also, President Branam, we are sorry to hear of the unfortunate loss of your wife.

War Room; Military Headquarters; Presidential Complex
The Beginning Day of Brindisi Invasion of Jarridia

The President just got off the phone with Admiral Jack Barber, Commander of the Seventh Fleet that was assigned to protect the entrance of the main river into Vorpistan to intercept the Brindisi attack after they learnt of it by Intelligence and Military satelittes.

"I want our air transports in the area filled with Land Force Personnel and Equipment to reinforce Jarridia troops internally... RENDALL!" The President exclaimed as Rendall was pouring the President a mug of coffee.

Glen Rendall quickly walked over with the President's coffee, "Here you go sir."

"I want you to check upon or relations with the government of Brindisi."

"Yes President." Glen walks off quickly.

Glen Rendall picks up the phone and pushes the emergency number to Jarridia to alert him of Canada's response, "Hello, is President Branam there?"

Presidential palace,
Allied States of Expedience


The president looked up from his desk at the secretary of defense. “How are preparations going for the conflict in Jarridia?”

“At the present time the elite combat teams have already established safe zones in various portions of Jarridia, where they are providing security, and holding back the forces of Brindisi, at this time it is difficult for us to ascertain the exact forces that the enemy has in place.”

“I see, what about our reinforcements? I ordered an immediate readiness and deployment for a number of units from expedience’s military on the day that we heard about the attack.”

“Yes sir, and those plans are continuing, pursuant to your orders we have begun mobilizing active duty troops. Obviously these forces being far more numerous can’t possibly meet the mandate of 36 hour deployment anywhere on earth like our elite combat forces can. However the first elements of the 1st , 4th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 15th, and 18th divisions should be landing in Jarridia even as we speak, and the 3rd, 5th, and 17th divisions should be there within the hour.”

“So that means that we currently have 70,000 standard army personnel in Jarridia, as well as the 6,000 special operations troops that we flew in there initially. With another 30,000 almost there. It couldn’t have been easy to move that many troops that quickly.”

“No it wasn’t, we had to contract with a number of private shipping interests in order to get the number of ships needed to move a force that size so quickly, and logistics are still going to be problematic. But we are at present pulling all of our mothballed transports out of the shipyards, this should allow us a great deal more flexibility in the future.”

“What about naval assets?”

“Unfortunately only the 4th fleet carrier group was in position for immediate response, we currently have to other groups moving in for support, we expect both to arrive within 24 hours, at the present time all of them are moving to join up with the carrier groups currently in place that Canad a has positioned there.”

“What was Brindisi thinking? I mean his country is about half the size of Jarridia, and with all of the allies they have it is practically suicide to launch an attack like that.”

“At this time our military analysis cannot conclude why they chose to invade.”

“I suppose it doesn’t matter the fact is they did and now they will have to be dealt with.”


Currently in Jarridia
-1 Aircraft carrier
-2 Aegis missile defense cruisers
-12 destroyers
-8 cruisers
-6 nuclear powered submarines
-70,000 army soldiers, primarily infantry, with tank and vehicular support
6,000 special operations troops, relatively comparable to U.S. army rangers

30,000 additional troops, and 2 aircraft carrier groups to arrive within 24 hours.

To: Expedience, Canada
In response to aid

We thank you whole heartedly for your support in repelling the Brindisi Military from our sovereign lands. The damage to Jarridia has been mortifying thus far, and we anticipate that the situation will only get worse. Thanks to your support, we feel that we will come out of this with a shining glory.

This may be one of few messages sent out of Shelbin. Due to the attack being so sudden and the Brindisi military moving so quickly, it has left Shelbin isolated from the rest of the nation. Our military is at a loss without proper instruction from our commander and chief.

Once we have secured a communication line, we shall contact each of you further. President Branam is displaying adequate resolve, even after the loss of his wife (death so we fear). I shall try and update you further as time allows. Thank you.

Kim Shaffer
Jarridian Secretary of State

_______________________________________________________________

Jarrod walked slowly through the smokey and mostly collapsing east wing of the palace. Carefully he found the door to the presidential bedroom and forced it open. He noticed to his horrific view that the roof had collapsed upon the bed.

He yelled, "Shelby?." There was no answer. He could see her arm hanging motionless off the side of the bed. Tears filled his eyes, and he grabbed her arm, "Shelby...please." There was still no answer. He reached under the collapsed roof and pulled her body out from under the rubble. He fell to the floor and embraced her lifeless body. Sobbing he whispered, "Shelby...don't do this. Everything will be alright." He picked her up and gently began carrying her towards the rotunda.

As he stepped out into the hall, a flaming wall fell over blocking the exit to the rotunda. A look of fear came over him, but quickly faded as his determination came back. He heard from the otherside, "Mr. President! Can you hear us?"

"Yes! Yes I can!" Jarrod responded.

"We're coming to get you! Hold on!"

Jarrod stood waiting for the security forces to come through, he was holding his wife's body close to him, trying to hold back his fear and saddness.

________________________________________________________________

Meanwhile in the Presidential Office

Zach Finger (Vice President), Kim Shaffer (Secretary of State) and Keithan Weaver (Secretary of Defense) sat around the center table discussing what Jarridia's first retaliatory move would be.

"At the moment, there isn't much we can do without communications to the outside of Shelbin. The only military we can freely utilize is what is in Fort Perkins, but that would not hold off a massive invasion of Shelbin." said Keithan.

"What are our conditions in the southwest?" asked Zach.

"Well, these aren't confirmed reports of course, but intelligence is showing that Regence (a city in the southwest on the Jarridian/Vorpistan/Rynax border) has taken heavy blows from Brindisi forces, and the entire city of Westwood is....well....we aren't sure what has happened, but it seems as if its gone." said Kim sadly.

"We've been trying to get a plane out there for some time now, but everytime we leave the ground we are immediately disposed of. We need to face facts. Brindisi has us at their advantage and they aren't letting go." responded Keithan.

"Were is Jarrod?" asked Zach curiously.

"After the bomb hit the east wing, he went to look for Shelby." said Kim.

"And you just let him go?!?!" Zach asked with a terror stricken look.

"Well, we sent in security forces to extract him, but no confirmation as of yet." responded Keithan defensively.

"You mean we don't know if our president is alive or dead?" said Zach angrily.

"We are sure he is fine. He wasn't even going into the hardest hit part of the east wing. I'm sure we will here back soon that they have found him." said Kim.

"I can't believe you, Keithan, would allow him to go into the east wing unguarded!" said Zach, pointing his finger at Keithan.

"It all happened so suddenly!" responded Keithan standing up and yelling.

"Please men! Can we please get back to the crisis at hand. The fate of Jarridia is what is really important at the moment." said Kim trying to calm them down.

"Yes, certainly" responded Zach, as he sat back down.

"We have a definite report that both Expedience and Canada are coming to our aid. If we can repel Brindisi force just enough around Shelbin, then we can activate our entire national guard to move out and recapture the west. Our western fleet has taken heavy fire from Brindisi, and we also have unconfirmed reports of another invasion beginning in the northwest." said Keithan.

"Do we have any estimates on the loss of life?" asked Zach.

"No direct numbers, but we are believing that casualties are in the millions." replied Kim looking down at the table.

"My god! This is the worst invasion of Jarridian soil ever in our history. We are on the brink of destruction. We need communication! NOW!" yelled Zach angrily, "we need to find Jarrod. Its going to be a rough night. Jarridia will not fall to Brindisi!"

_________________________________________________________________

With casualties on the rise, the southwest captured, and unconfirmed reports of the northwest being invaded, the Jarridian government is issuing a state of emergency for the entire nation. Many lives have been lost, including civilians. Entire cities have been destroyed, and the capital city has been cut off from the rest of the nation. We are now activating the military at Fort Perkins. this contains:

600,000 Men
5 Modern Armor Divisions
8 Tank Divisions
75 F-14
170 F-15
100 F-16

The woman on the phone responded to President Wittrock, "Sorry, President Branam is not able to answer the phone."

"Tell him I called!" President Wittrock shouted over the phone friendly. Wittrock looked over to General Mathias, the Secretary of Defense, "Can we dispatch two more fleets in the location of the Jarridian West Fleet?"

President Wittrock walked over to the large screen in the war room that monitored known vehicular movements of theres, known hostiles and known allies in the area.

General Mathias responed, "I'll dispatch the 9th and the 12th Fleet."

"Estimated Time of Arrival?" The President asked

"Four hours, they are currently bombarding the VC with the 8th and the 14th Fleet."

The President nodded his head, "Order their arrival. Where the hell is Glen Rendall?"

Jarridia your always fighting!!!

:headbang: :mad:

OCC: The Brindisi attack was unlawful and they made a statement that they'll enter the war if they are attacked by any side.

The war in Jarridia was going well. Expedience had now landed over half a million active combat troops in expedience. Along with multiple combat fighter wings, bombers, tanks, and all of the other requirements of a modern war, with more on the way. Most of the troops had been landed in the north, with the exception of the elite combat teams which had landed in the south to immediately engage the enemy forces.

The Allied States of Expedience

-I want a situation update on the events occurring in Jarrdia. I haven’t had many reports over the past few days.

Yes sir, at the present time Expedience forces now number greater than half a million strong. We have begun the push southward now that our military has reached sufficient strength, and our troops have reached the capitol of Jarridia, Shelbin.

Have communications been restored with them yet?

Not at the moment, a team of expedience engineers has however been dispatched, they are currently laying land lines, and setting up portable satellite comm units. At the present time we expect to have communications reestablished in less than 2 hours. Once that has occurred we plan to continue our march southward, liberating Jarridia’s southern reaches.

Very well, you may proceed.


Expedience’s current military total inside Jarridia

-3 Aircraft carriers
-6 Aegis missile defense cruisers
-18 destroyers
-14 cruisers
-10 nuclear powered submarines
-450,000 army soldiers, primarily infantry, with tank and vehicular support

This situation is very troublesome for me indeed. I was planning on fighting on my coast only. Now, in a double blow, I am nearly surrounded by the enemy and my clostest and most respectable ally is crumbling. I cannot sit by idly and watch as my neighbor is taken by a handful of disrespectful, murdureous scum! I will not allow Jarridia to fall! I have begun the mobilization of some of my forces to my Northeastern border with Jarridia. The scattered patrol forces I have in the region have been having scirmishes with the few patrol forces from Brindisi. So far, there have been no recorded casualties from these scirmishes, though I cannot speak for my enemy. My forces shall arrive within 14 hours.
Fear me Brindisi. For you have no idea what you have unleashed upon your pathetic little army.

Gavineous Roguseous

The Federation of Melkislov will help defend Vorpistan from any attack from
Brindisi.Rest assured,Vorpistan, you will not be attacked.By the use of our
Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) concept,Brindisi's leadership knows that
if it attacks Melkislov or an ally in war time,it will face massive destruction,
from a retaliation unlike the modern world has ever seen.Melkislov has set
a deadline for Brindisi:Monday,July 26,2004 at midnight to withdraw its forces
from Jarridia or they will be removed by force.

We will stand by our ally Jarridia, but cannot commit forces at this time. Rest assured...Brindisi shall know the meaning of pain...

The grand nation of Killian Vampires shall aid its spectacular ally Brindisi in its war against Jarridia. Jarridia shall fall before our righteous might, and will pay for its past indiscretions. We will be mobilizing the following:

4,000,000 men
25 Modern Armor Divisions

8 Carriers
24 Battleships
16 Cruisers
32 AEGIS Cruisers
40 Destroyers

150 F-14

200 F-16
200 F-22
50 B-2
75 B-52

5 Tactical Nuclear Weapons
50 Cruise Missile Batteries

2 ICBM Nuclear Weapons being prepared.

We are willing to use nukes if Jarridia and its allies do not surrender. This includes Expedience, Melkislov, Vorpistan, and Canada. With emphasis on Expedience and Canada. We are serious! Our forces will arrive in 1 rl day

The House regrets that it has no spare forces to commit to the situation at this time. Rest assured that use of nuclear weapons will merit immediate reprioritizing of the situation.

OOC:
Just for clarification, as some of you know, I controlled the Killian Empire, which included KV. This is not the case anymore. KV is controlled by someone else who took it from me. Just letting you know so I don't get attacked. I would like to remain peaceful.

To the leaders of Killian vampires

We are unimpressed by your attempts to bully us through the use of threats of blatant atrocity. If you attempt to use nuclear weapons we will respond with an all out strike. If we suspect you are attempting to ready your nuclear arsenal for an attack we will not hesitate to launch an all out first strike. The expedience nuclear weapons defense systems have been activated, and we stand ready.
Further the relatively pitiful number of nuclear weapons that you have brought to bear cannot be considered be overly large by any extent.
Because of this blatant act of stupidity it is the decision of the Allied States of Expedience to increase the speed at which deployment occurs. As such we have ordered the immediate deployment of a much larger contingent of our active military, as well as a number of reserve units which have just finished retraining.
Any nuclear attacks will be met with the utmost force. We are prepared, and will not capitulate.

Jarrod stood awaiting the men to reach the other side of the flaming wall that had fallen. He held his wife close as is to protect her, though he knew she was already gone. The rescue team broke through the fallen wall and grabbed the president by the arm.

"Sir, Its time to go. We shall take her from here." said Tom Richards

"No. I will carry her to the rotunda." Jarrod said as he stood up, his wife held firmly in his arms.

"Alright, well...we must go now. Conditions are dangerous here." replied Tom with urgency.

Upon reaching the other side, they were shaken by another explosion within the Eastwing that brought them to their knees. Jarrod tried to protect Shelby from further injuries, he quickly got up and continued toward the rotunda, escorted by the rescue crew. His mind was racing. Thinking of his wife, of the people now involved in the war against Brindisi. Jarridia was in pain, but he felt as if he could do nothing. His eyes watered and throat itched as the smoke thickened and his memories became more vivid.

They reached the rotunda, where another crew was waiting to seal it off to keep the spread of fire down. Jarrod took his wife, and laid her on the awaiting medical table.

"Mr. President, they are waiting for you in your office. You must go at once!" said Tom.

"I understand. But my loyalty to my wife comes first." Jarrod responded with tears in his eyes.

"I understand Mr. President, but Jarridia is at war. It needs its president to be in control." said Tom with a kind of disgruntled tone.

"You do not speak to me as if I am a child! I am still your superior! I shall go to my office," said Jarrod as he turned to the medical doctors, "I want you to take care of my wife, give her the best treatment you can."

"Certainly." replied the doctors.

Jarrod leaned in and kissed his wife's forehead, then turned and went to the west wing and his office.

_______________________________________________________________

The Reclaiming of Shelbin has begun!

The Jarridian forces from inside the city of Shelbin have been ordered to move out and attack surrounding Brindisi forces. We are engaging them all along the perimeter. Although our airforce has minimal capabilities at the moment, we suspect that we have caused some damage to their forces, because we are far more superior. Scattered reports have come in of the loss of the cities of Kirby, Bayview and Tienson, but none of this is confirmed.

We have taken heavy reported casualties from the Shelbin Task Force, but we are unsure of our military outside of the Shelbin Region. The only forces that we have been able to speak with was the West Fleet (for a short time) who reported many losses of vessels and life. Until a secure line can be brought into Shelbin, Jarridia is at a loss.


OOC: Where is Brindisi?

Sorry everyone but I have been informed by Brindisi that the forums will not let him on. He has e-mailed assistance and is awaiting their reply. However, he will be sending me the posts he wants me to make after he reads your replies (he can still read them, just not post) and I will put his posts here, along with my own....thanks.
