Slaughter of the Israelites

Surveying the construction site of his burial pyramid the pharaoh leaned out over the balcony watching the slaves toil and work in the harsh sun. The gods had blessed his lands with a plentiful supply of resources and the ever present rivers which are the life blood of the nation had always kept true to their promise to flood every year.

The guards maintaining order in the capital oversaw the work of the Israelite slaves, and when necessary they would whip obedience and a backbone into them, they should be thankful for the food they receive from the government, working to build the eternal resting place of their god is a great honour, though for some reason the slaves never did realise the duty bestowed upon them.

A huge pillar, hand carved and worked on for over twenty years was now being raised into position, the pharaoh in awe at what he had designed and oversaw was now rejoicing at the splendour of his capital. Huge mirrors shone light into every corner of the city, while colour and hieroglyphs covered the walls of the temples and homes of the general populace. Staring in awe of the great city the pharaoh was interrupted by an advisor moving onto the balcony. Prostrating on the floor before his God the advisor waited before the command to raise was given.

The advisor a tall, pale, skinny man raised and faced the pharaoh making sure to keep indirect eye contact. “My lord I have disturbing news on the slave population, it appears that if they continue their current population increase then they will outnumber us by three to one, we have attempted to introduce contraceptives but they see it as an insult to their false god. What are we to do my lord?”

The Pharaoh concerned by this sudden but expected population boom would do what he has always done in a crisis or difficult position. He would look to his ancestors for advice. Thinking back to the ancient and grand kingdom where Sparten ruled the region un-challenged the pharaoh drew a sinister smile upon his face. “GUARD!”

At once a soldier came running at the beckon of his god, once again prostrating on the floor he begged his liege for instructions. “Let it be known throughout the land that all male Israelite children under the age of twelve are to be slaughtered tonight. I want no survivors.” The guard shocked but not horrified at this merely smiled. “It will be an honour to serve you my lord, as always.”

In the darkness of the Sparten night the guards took to the streets, bursting into every Israelite home they made their way to each bedroom searching for a child, if and when they discovered a slave hiding or sleeping the guards would raise their curved knives and slit their throats.

Message from Minister of Defense:

We do not fear you Sparten. Though you are much larger than our nation, we still condemn your actions and if there are any more atrocities, the empire will not hesitate to take action.

Secret Message to Engineer Corp

Looks like we might be able to test out some of your projects on this country. Imagine their fear when they see the plague and the separation of the sea.

The blood poured from every shack, from every home, from every street; by morning Sparten would be red with blood.

The night was a cold one, the guards moving from home to home murdering child after child could only spell despair for the innocents now being slaughtered in their millions. While the Pharaoh slept, millions grieved.

The sun crept through the palatial windows, reflecting from the mirrors and walls laced with gold. The light hit the Pharaohs face, slowly the heat from Ra began to rejuvenate Ramesees causing him to stir after a sound nights sleep. Making his way to the balcony to once again watch the construction of his majestic city the young Pharaoh would be surprised. Instead of the toiling slaves there was only red rivers of blood and a great mourn that was emanating from the slave districts. The great river that flowed through the heart of the nation was red with blood from the millions slaughtered during night. The parents of the now deceased children were burying their dead or attempting to fish them from the river.

Pharaoh showing a small amount of compassion, elected to give the slaves till midday before they would restart construction of the new city; they could always work through the night to make up for the time wasted burying their dead in some false ritual. Turning his back on the mourning city the God of Sparten stood still while his aides dressed him. Having dawned his gold embroidered robes the Lord and Deity of Sparten made his way to the throne room where he would be surrounded by his advisors. Walking through the sunbathed corridors of the Imperial temple, pharaoh was already beginning to have a trail of worshippers and court members cling to his foot steps.

Entering the marble throne room he ascended the dais where he sat upon his throne which no matter the position was always bathed in sunlight before the darkness took over.

Rubbing his head the pharaoh had to choose which advisor he must first deal with. Beckoning his foreign affairs servant to divulge his information Ramesees prepared to listen.

Quickly Scuffling along the marble floor, Ihmotep prostrated before his god, making sure to keep his forehead upon the floor before until beckoned to rise. Ramesees in no mood for ceremony quickly dispensed with the formalities and beckoned his aide to talk. “My Lord, our recent actions towards the slave population has not gone unnoticed by the international community; while you were sleeping we received a message from a small nation called.” **The advisor sifts through some notes until he finds the correct piece of paper.** “Ahhh here we are, the nation calls itself Japanese Antarctica, they are threatening military action if we do not desist on our current methods by which we control and treat the slave population.”

The Pharaoh raised his hand, instantly stopping his advisor in mid sentence, “This is all I need to know. Send a return message threatening them of eternal damnation if they ever challenge their god ever again. Tell them this is the only time I shall show such mercy.”

To Japanese Antarctica

You would be wise not to threaten your God. You and your people are sadly misguided and for that mercy shall be shown upon you. However if you are to ever challenge the might of the eternal empire you shall be quickly and severely crushed.

The Empire of Newtdom demands you cease and dessist such actions against your own people. Genocide is a crime, and by killing your on people in such a manner warrants action. Thus, if you do not cease the murder of your people immediately, you will be met by a force more powerful than you could ever imagine.

The dancing girls within the throne room were making a splendid show, the bright ribbons and coloured trails flew through the air as if they were some hypnotic spell entranced and amused the Pharaoh, while at the sides of the room, Israelite slaves stood waiting to be beckoned.

Pharaoh clapping along to the melody now playing was drinking a slight excess than usual, in fact he had drunk so much his decanter was empty. Instantly beckoning a slave to refill his wine with a flick of his wrist the Pharaoh intended to continue enjoying the festivities. The slave moving towards the Pharaoh motioned to prostrate before his god, the skinny man bowed but when beckoned to rise he came up quickly throwing the replacement wine upon Ramasees. The slave moving to strike his god was instantly stopped by a contingent of Imperial guards. The poor child no older then fifteen was being dragged away by his hair to the dungeons while he was shouting “murderer, you murderer.” To Pharaoh.

The throne room was quickly evacuated, everyone was being forced to leave immediately while the Pharaoh decided what to do.

The next morning Ramasees rose to find the slaves hard at work once again. Maybe today will be better than the previous night thought pharaoh, before realising what happened last night. “LAST NIGHT” he gasped.

Gripping his fists together Ramasees began to think of a suitable punishment for the slave. After being bathed and dressed pharaoh beckoned a guard. “You! Come here, summon the high priests and select three thousand slaves at random from the general populace.” Complying at once the Anubite guard began to stomp off in the opposite direction. His huge battle armour would bake him alive in the desert but thankfully the riverside was cooler than other areas within Sparten. After a small period of time the high priests arrived within the throne room, Pharaoh resting comfortably on the raised dias beckoned them to sit while he explained the reason for their summoning.

High Priests of the many temples. You will today please the gods in offering a sacrifice of three thousand souls, you will be mummifying them alive in the great temple of Set. Our most beloved god and father to all creation. You will commence immediately, now go, and please the gods.”

The priests left the throne room annoyed at being brought over twenty miles just to hear a small speech, however the sacrifice was intriguing. At high noon the priests and their disciples were ready for the volunteers and faithfuls to be brought forward for their eternal reward. Having only one hundred tables and sets of tools available meant that those waiting would reek of fear.

The slaves were tied down onto the table with leather straps, then a vertical incision was made running from the collar bone to the abdomen allowing the priests to access the torso. The internal Organs would them be removed one by one starting with the kidn still take out the life force of the slaves encasing the eternal organs in jars. Before the unfortunate victims died of blood loss the priests would the pick up a tool shaped as a curved metal spike pushing it up through the nose breaking into the cranium. The tool would then be spun quickly turning the grey brain matter into a goo which was also collected.

The sacrifice taking place in the open courtyard of the temple of Set was viewed by many, however on the balcony of the Imperial palace it was being viewed by two others. Pharaoh and the offending slave strapped to a wooden pillar was being forced to watch what he brought about, before he too would meet the grandeur of mummification.

Pharaoh moderately amused by today’s turn of events turned and left the slave boy to watch what he to would suffer.

ViZion will only give you one warning. You are to cease your current genocide upon your "slaves". If you wish, we will accept all of these young children into ViZion. But, if you continue on your current course of genocide, ViZion will be forced to intervene, and invade.

Consider your self warned.

Your options:
-Send those you plan to kill to ViZion
-Stop killing them and keep them
-Continue your genocide, and be destroyed

Thank you. You have 24 (NS) hours to comply. (OOC: That would be, when you get back online)

To SPARTEN:
It seems as if our warning has gone unheeded to the highest degree. You ignored it completely, and offered no commentary to our government for reasoning behind your actions. You continued on your path of genocide. Perhaps diplomatic measures mean nothing to you. As such, the Emperor has dispatched The Grand Fleet, over 350 warships not inculding support vessels. They are on their way as a deterant from you continuing such actions. The Empire will not be insulted twice. This is our final warning, stand down from your horrid actions or face decimation.

If you do not end this terrible display of inhumane behavior, the Pure Democracy of Jarridia will have no choice but to intervene. My military will be ready at your door and we will come in. Do not take lightly on this. This is you first and only warning. Stand down, and follow either of ViZion's offerings (Give him the people, or stop torturing them). If you do not, you shall be crushed.

To: Sparten Ministry
From: Ambassador General John Miltion

Our administration implores that you cease all genocidal actions against these people that you have enslaved. It is not like our nation to get involved with the civil events of another nations, however, you are slaughtering innocents based on their religion. This will not be tolerated.

We are giving you one week from when you receive this post to halt all actions against these "enslaved" people. Our intelligence directorate has intercepted numerous escaped slaves from your nation. We have detailed information about your engineering and political infrastructure.

The Sandirian Defense Ministry has organized five thousand heavily armed paratroopers, five hundred M1 Abrams tanks, three hundred Armored Personnel Carriers, and three Pandemonium-class aircraft transport carriers each holding thirty F-22 Fighter Jets.

One week from today, if your actions have not ceased, heavy bombing of your capital and all surrounding cities will commence. If the insertion of our ground troops is necessary, we will apprehend each one of your leaders, dead or alive.

Do not force our hand in this matter. Act Wisely.

"Yes, what is it?"
"A nation called SPARTEN. Our spies in the area has reported that male slaves under the age of 12...has been murdered. They report that blood flows freely in the streets."
"Very well." I said, a deadly calm in my voice. "It seems, that now we shall have to force Pharaoh to let the people go."
"Uh, We don't have the capability to turn dust into gnats..."
"But we can rain hellfire upon their cities and visit a plague of blood and boils upon them. Or at least 500lb bombs."
"Uh, yes sir."

We ask that you not invade before they have a chance to respond. This could save countless lives in which he may order killed if attacked without given a chance. They have options, and I would rather them take a peaceful route to keep these children from being killed.

"My lord, we have yet to recieve any formal recognition from Sparten. It is a horrible disgrace and insult to our nation." Said Lord Hollistein from his seat close to the Emperor. The rest of the men in the room nodded and murmured agreement.

The Emperor nodded and looked around the long conference table. He spoke in his powerful voice "I agree, I will not stand by when some nation comits genocide on its on people. Not to mention, their refusal to recognize our nation in our attempts for diplomatic resolutions. We have given them..." he looked down at the atomic clock in front of his seat "Over two days now, without the slightest response." He rose from his seat, bent over the oak table and slammed down his fist, "I have had enough, mobilize for assualt and invasion, and home defense. All leave dismissed, all units back onto base." The men looked up at the aging man, remembering back to their youth as they served by their Crown Prince in wars against foreign agressors, and smiled at his great leadership.

*Aboard the Pax Magellanic Class Aircraft Carrier CNS Athena*

Admiral Anika Gaheris stood at the front of the darkened bridge of the CNS Athena as President Lansdowne of the Democratic Colonies made his live, televised speech to the people of of his nation. Admiral Gaheris wasen't paticularly paying attention since she had already recieved a copy of the speech days earlier, but her crew was listening to it with thier undivided attention. The crew had good reason to listen though, since their lives were likely to be put at risk by the words that the President was saying - rather trite stuff, Admiral Gaheris thought, overly rightous and nearly arrogant in its composition, but President Lansdowne probably had a right to be arrogant. The Democratic Colonies was a nation of 3.2 billion people with a presidential election year looming, and President Lansdowne was throwing around some military might to show the taxpayers that the high-tech jets and carriers they had recieved a 10% tax hike for were going to good use. Admiral Gaheris wasen't one to simply accept being used as a political pawn, but even she had to admit that the cause seemed just..... this time, at any rate. Election or no election, the genocides in Sparten were wrong, and there was no way out of that one. Admiral Gaheris turned around to face her bridge as the the Presidential speech faded to black and the bridge crew slowly moved back to thier stations and continued thier work. Gaheris returned her gaze to outside the bridge windows as her second in command and personal friend Captain George Stanford came up beside her at the front of the bridge. They shared a moment of silence together with the rythmic rain against the glass before Stanford began to speak. "Our formal orders have come down from Colonial Fleet Command," he began as he handed her a digital pad with the order sheet. "We are to hold position with the rest of Battlegroup 1.2 for now. We'll be reinforced by Battlegroup 2.1 led by the CNS Andromeda Ascendant tommorow. After that, our orders are pretty much to linger around and see if any shooting starts. The Colonial Government is presurring the Sparten leader to cease his excecutions, but we don't think that'll work. If the other nations begin shooting, we are also to engage. If more forces are needed, Battlegroup 3.2 is standing by to reinforce us within two weeks of our call. We aren't going to send in any number of ground units, and we are to withdraw from the area if we take heavy losses." Admiral Gaheris absently nodded as she skimmed through the satellite photos of Sparten. "Why do we bother with these people?" asked Gaheris as she abruptly put the digital pad down. "Why do dictators with God-complexes always somehow end up our problem? Why do we continue to spill our blood for this?" Captain Stanford was half-expecting the question, so he wasen't at all suprised by it. "You know why we do it Admiral, otherwise you wouldn't be out here." Admiral Gaheris turned to face Stanford while her right hand ran accross the Colonial Navy insignia on her jacket collar. "De Oppresso Liber..." she began. "To Liberate the Oppressed." finished Stanford. "It's a pure idea, and it's worth fighting and dying for," said Admiral Gaheris, "but there's just been too much dying for it lately, too many lives lost to buy the freedom of strangers. Too goddamn many..."

Macisikan
19-08-2004, 05:40
The Ministry of External Affairs has condemned the actions of SPARTEN, labelling them "unspeakable acts" that amount to "barbarism of the first order".

Members of Parliament have called the killing "genocide" and "affronts to God", with one going on the record as saying "SPARTEN is morally bankrupt, an abomination. This piece of filth is a model of the corruption that taints the world."

Other M.P.'s, including prominent clergy, have praised ViZion and Jarrida, saying that the "actions of these two nations, taken for a peolpe with whom they have no connection is just and good ... those two nations will be blessed for this."

It is extremely likely that the Imperial Government will put economic sanctions in place against SPARTEN, despite the fact that they will have little effect, if any.

Experts have, in a rare show of unanimity, declared that the Imperial response does not herald a return of Macisikan to the world stage, but it is likely that the actions of SPARTEN will strengthen the isolationist cause within the Empire.

It's a very, hmm... shocking seat, may I say? ;) SPARTEN, keep that in mind when you decide what you're gonna do... Stop killing them to save your life, or kill them and your leader, along with his government, fate will be sealed.

-Continue killing (and kill your leader and government)

OOC: Well since you all seem to disagree with my methods of population control I guess your fleets will have to be culled. I want all current offensive nations to tg me regarding their role in this conflict as yes I am a stubborn little shit and I wont give in for a little case of soon to disappear international pressure. Look if you claim to know where a lot of my military stuff is without rping finding it then I will ignore it. I want a dam good rp, and I am in no mood nor do I have the patience for slackers that want to do everything in on line posts. Coreworlds I would stand down if you don’t want to see your lovely Jaria be blown out of its orbit. Also guys you must understand that Sparten does not follow your way of morality. The current situation with the slaves has been around for three thousand years so the general populace has no problem with it and unfortunately a vast majority of the slave population have now capitulated and faced that facts that they are and will always be slaves.


IC: Sparten is in all reality a continent in its own right. Three times the size of Australia the vast nation is pretty much devoid of life. The terrain is one regarding the Sahara desert, where unlike nations such as Iraq which have very little top sand Sparten is covered in rolling towering dunes making any kind of mass deployment of tanks and other mechanised machines almost impossible (Hence the use of manual labour, also because of the constant shifting sands all Sparten cities are walled to prevent an overrun and submergence of cities). The cities are located within the centre of the landscape where there is a constant supply of ground water, and the bountiful rivers which flow through the nation as a small Oasis. Due to the fact that the sands are constantly rolling and therefore covering the above ground roads almost constantly Sparten has a vast underground transit system which is almost invulnerable to overhead missiles and “Bunker busters” due to the fluid nature of sand. Any high ordinance weapons would be severely limited in their effectiveness. (plus you gotta find them). The vast white sands make observation satellites almost completely useless due to the vast amount of solar reflection. As a result of these conditions Sparten has a very small tank core as its unsuitable for desert warfare not to mention the logistical and manpower problems of having lots of tanks in a waterless desert. There is one large coastal/military city which I assume you will be dealing with, It is home to the Anubite guards and the temple of Ra so if you wreck them I am gonna freak. Sparten is a nation based on Ancient Egypt, the populous worship the Pharaoh reverently and fully believe he is a god while the slave population, the back bone of Sparten has no option but to remain in captivity due to the choice of living a life of work, or dieing of thirst in the desert. The architecture of my nation is once again Ancient Egyptian so please limit the damage to the capital as much as possible as it’s a very nice place. Anyway I doubt your fighters have the range to reach it from the coast.

My warriors are large armoured men, the suits are sufficiently ventilated however in the desert heat all conflict is avoided as much as possible, so I would advise we stick to night warfare.

http://www.stargatesg1-lasextaraza.com/Sites/La Sexta Raza/Similitudes/fotos de similitudes/primera temporada/Jaffa/jaffa.jpg


The Anubite warriors are experts in desert warfare an warfare in general so avoid them as much as possible. As for the airforce the sparten air contingent is rather small due to the fact that sand gets everywhere making air warfare around Sparten almost impossible. Sparten does have a large navy but you can consider it falling back into open ocean to avoid a naval battle, (mainly because I am very inexperienced with naval warfare.

If any more information is needed then just ask, but ask with an OOC comment ontop of your IC one as to not clutter the thread.

IC: The Pharaoh was consulting with his military generals, a large fleet of allied vessels were approaching the coastline and a defence had to be organised. Looking down at map covered with military position and underground stronghold the Pharaoh sat back in his chair comfortable and confident on the skill of his generals.

The lead and overall second in command of all armed forces was deciding the defensive plans. A war of guerrilla tactics would take place with constant attacks on their supply dumps preventing them from making and headway into the nation itself. Mines and bunkers were now being placed and manned, some of a special nature. The small armoured force that Sparten had available was being told to keep inland where the overhead planes would have little effect on the stability of the nation while secondary measures were being quickly taken to mount a counter attack if landfall was made.

Several diplomatic messages had been made to the Pharaoh but with Spartens policy of no official external contact which had been adhered to for over two thousand years a reply was out of the question.

Insuring that the AA defensives were in sufficient supply around each of the walled cities and in the great desert itself all the military general could and would do is wait out the storm. And see if the enemy forces would continue their reckless and vain attempt at justice.

OOC: Large bombing runs from your home nations will be ignored as Sprten is on the other side of the NS world and the NS world is about the size of Jupiter so i doubt they have the range.

OOC:
sorry to stick my technical, nitpicking, fussy nose in where it's probably not wanted, but that just doesn't work; I'm on the other side of the world from ViZion, though not giving support, but even so, those who are attacking you certainly would have allies close enough to you to get their bombers in place.

Not to mention you're assuming that we all play by the same rules regarding the space-time nature of the NS earth; some of us do say as you do, that the world is the size of Jupiter, and the gravity (and the rest of physics) is somehow skewed so that everything works.

Others say that there are many parallel NS worlds (the size of RL earth, but somehow in different dimension), all of which can be accessed simultaneously (without going future-tech), by the same nation, for example, I have diplomatic relations with at least two nations who both control the same bit of real estate (Rotovia and the Ottoman Khaif), right down to the longitude and latitude, which means that the "jupiter-size" theory wouldn't work for me when RPing with those two, especially if I want to RP with them both at the same time.

Also, if you were on the other side of a Jupiter-sized planet from all your antagonists, this means that they wouldn't be able to reach you by air or sea, not without stretching supply lines to the point where an invasion, or any military action, would be unworkable.

In any case, most of these people will do bombing runs, or missile strikes, based off their fleets, rather than out of their home nations.

But, apart from a few climactic things, I can't find any other problems...

Sorry everybody, for cluttering the thread, but I had to say it.

~Imperial Military Council Room~

The Emperor walked in, the other ten men already in the room rose and bowed to their leige. He smiled and walked to his throne at the far end of the table. "Whats the current situation, gentlemen?" he said as he looked at the screen in front of him.

Field Marshall Wolfe began first, "Sire, if you would look at your screen, you would see what the nation of Sparten looks like from global satellites and our intervention of border drawing." The Emperor nodded and looked at the vast nation.

The Emperor spoke, "What problems will arrise due to their vastness, and arid conditions?"

Captain of the Guards, Lord von Montaque answered the question "Well sire," he smiled knowing the Emperor did not like him calling him sire, " We will be unable to use our aircraft to the best of their ability. I sincerely doubt, we could launch any major strike. We would most likely be going through a deep anti-aircraft matrix prior to hitting their city. We will have to stick with Twillight bombers, and them alone. With regards to the navy, the big guns on the battleships will not be used to their design, but their amount of cruise missiles will surely do some damage. We are still gathering intelligence as to where to strike, but it is extremely hard due to their geographic location. We believe the 7th's tanks will fail in the horrid conditions, as well as their apaches. The Cammanches will work well, as we tested them in the Termin Desert. I believe we need to send our desert warfare Devastator-MBT/4's to be succesful." he nodded and looked around the room to the other men nodding in agreement.

The Emperor smiled "Then let it be done, what of the infantry they were not mentioned?"

General Lord Alonso answered "The Marines are capable in any condition. We are outfitted for desert warfare since deployment. They should be able to coupe."

Field Marshall Lord Wolfe nodded and said "My soldiers are outfitted with light battlesuits. The air control system should keep them at about normal body temperature even in 120 or higher degree heat. Our concern is with the 81st, they are not fitted to fight in such heat. We will need to redeploy them to attack the center of the nation if need be."

The Emperor nodded, "Fair enough, gentlemen. We need more intelligence, and locations of targets. Get those foward observers in the area."

~Staging area (umm, I've yet to see a map so I'm going to call it Z before we figure all that bit out.) Z~

The 20 men got on their Land Rover Discovery variants. Able to handle any condition, the 5 SUVs began to enter Sparten to gain intelligence.

[OOC - It appears that Sparten is ready for war, the time of diplomacy is at an end.]

1500 Hours; Grenvali Armed Forces Military Base Vialish; Rufushian, Grenval

Overhead, three hundred black winged bombers took to the sky. Their mission, to bomb up and down the River Nile until all water flowing into the delta had been destroyed. As the bombers sped off towards Egypt, two naval armaments left port, headed for the Mediterranean Sea. While the Heavy Calvary Division had been stood down, the three Heavy Infantry Divisions were still on rapid deployment operations.

--

0100 Hours; Special Operations Deployment; Sahara Desert

In the depths of the night, a small task force of special operations forces, numbered eleven in all, had been air dropped into the Sahara Desert. Unbeknownest to satellites and weapons system, the shifting sands hid them from view.
The Squad Leader, a man by the name of Jonhaton Steele, son of the now famous Admiral Steele, lead the team towards the River Nile and the nearest city. The men, clothed in traditional civilian robes of the country, wearing underneath enough firepower to bring down a palace, strode off, struggling under the sands. They knew that they must reach the city by day break, or die in the endless desert. They were ten miles from the nearest city line and any stopping could cause them to not reach their destination in time.
"Captain, I need... water, and a-a rest." The moanings of Private Herckle reached Steele's ears.
Steele replied, "Then we shall break for four minutes, then we must be on our way."
As the squad stopped marching, Herckle began vomitting. A slew of rations and whiskey rose up in his throat, until it was laid about the desert sands. The men looked away in disgust for a moment. But as soon as it was over, Terry went to give Herckle a hand. "He is ice-cold sir. What are we going to do. He cannot go on."
Steele realized the man must be left behind. The squad had no way to contact home, for the equipment was too heavy along with the explosives."We have no radios, no means of contacting anyone. No stretcher to carry him in. Damnit he should have said he was sick! We must leave him. There is no way to pitch a shelter, no way to protect him. When we reach the city, we can fill up on water and food, and I will send two of you back for him with a stretcher, if he is still alive."
Terry looked up, "We cannot just leave him to die. You know there is no chance he will survive! We must stay!"
Steele, infuriated, yelled, "Then we will all die. The four minutes are up. We move out NOW!"

Doomingsland invasion fleet, ETA, 12 days

The marines were down in the holds, sharpening their bayonets and cleaning their rifles, when their CO, General Doom, stormed in in full combat load out. He was wearing an ACS suit. His visor was off. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v383/Doomingsland/ACSarmor.jpg

"Marines! As you know, we are twelve days away from the target, SPARTEN. I just thought you should be educated about your enemy."

A projector is wheeled into the massive room. The lights are shut off, and images of the sluaghter that happened in Sparten were shown.

"Marines, the people you see being murdered are Jews. Yes, they're being sluaghtered. Again. What's the reason for this massacre? They wanted to limit the population growth."

The marines growled in anger at this cowardice.

"Marines, we are being sent to liberate these people. Failure could result in this happening again," he said as the picture changed to a young boy who's throat had been slit by an Anubite warrior.

A young lueitenant stood up to ask a question.

"Sir, what do we expect to be up against?"

"I'm glad you asked, leuitenant," said the general as the picture changed to an Anubite warrior.

"This is the standard equiptment used by our enemy. It most likely hampers movement, and must be pretty hot out in the desert, unlike our equiptment." he said tapping his helmet. The men we're up against are most likely as good as us. They are experts in desert warfare, just as you are." (Doomingsland is mostly barren)

The speech continued for another 2 hours, describing the equiptment used by enemy soldiers. The marines felt no fear, partialy because they had no reason, and partialy because they weren't capable of it.
Bob-Bob
19-08-2004, 17:16
High up in the glorious city of Titanos, the God of Bob-bob was watching from his tower. For Eons he had been there, silent, building his forces, until the time was right to protect the strong once and for all. He had seen his horde grow, massing til their number near matched the amount of stars in the sky.

They hungered for victory and death. Honour to the Glorious people of Bob-bob! God of Energy! God of Triumph! God of battle and all those within it! To the fiery pits of hell with the unbeliever and the faithless, for they have no place at his foot.

They were summoned.

In armour of the purest gold, the generals of Bob-bob assembled.

The God of Bob-bob stood before them, dressed in perfect white. The room was shrouded in mist, and the skies opened before the men. Bob-bob appeared before them, it's endless borders extending before them. From the mountains they seen the hordes, and the hordes seen them on the mountains. Times had changed. Now the horde was a mechanical beast, making noises abhorrent to the God. They appeased him through killing. More joined the God daily in his eternal palace. The sun had risen, thanks to him. They glanced to the sea, and seen vast ships. Mechanical birds were circling them, but contrary to the vulture, they were not waiting for its death, but rather to preserve its very existence. The God smiled. Things were not even nearly ready. It would take months to begin to assemble the army. Peasants needed conscripted. Mechanical cavalry needed their blackened water. The warrior caste was ready to fight on land, but their comrades on the ocean were not. The vast metal floating structures were only readied for placement nearby. The smile disappeared from the Gods face. Rage filled the room, his anger manifest at the lack of preparation. One of the generals armour shrank, the mans screams cut short with his life. The armour swirled to nothingness, and blew out into the sky, carrying the general with it. Such was the price of failure. Eternity wandering the plains of Bob-bob, without conclusion.

And then all was silent in the room. The God began.

The voice echoed, gaining cohesion, strengthening, until it pounded at the walls. Then, at once disappeared and boomed at its loudest.

"Intolerable fools! They wish to attack those with the courage to shape their own destiny! This heresy cannot be carried out. The horde shall move. In Sparten shall my name be known throughout the ages. With them, the enemy shall tremble before me, and my word shall spread to the world. The Oceans shall boil under my might, and the sun itself will hide from my presence." He took a breath in, the lights flickering. The shadows oppressed all those in the room, yet the God shined brightly, independently, his eyes glowing black.
"Gather the horde. Ready the fleet. Command the sky, and do not delay. We shall arrive in might and darkness. Only the strong will be saved. Those that fight against us will be condemned. Let it be known.

In Sparten, the God appeared before Pharoah, and spoke.

"You are strong. You shall survive. We are coming."

To the enemy, he did not speak.

We will send 1.000.000 troops to defend SPARTEN from the highlands and deserts of Guerrillistan and 90.000 AGM-84 Harpoon / Harpoon Block II anti ship missiles and launching systems. An extra 10.000 C-701 anti ship missiles will be shipped towards SPARTEN as a back-up defensive force. An unspecified number of tanks and artillery will also be sent.

In the middle of the ocean 14 days from Sparten:

"Okay men it's time to find out why you are all here. As you may know if you have been following the international news, SPARTEN has been slaughtering Jews for some time now. The Shenyang high council in conjuction with the military high command have decided that this genocide has gone on far to long. As such we have assembled you and the the rest of our army for this war. The airforce is en route and should arrive 1 day after our landing. The enemy will almost definitely outnumber us from the start. However we should expect to have support from Doomingsland and Grenval at the very least. So tell me, are you ready for this operation?"

"SIR YES SIR!" yelled the over 5 million men and women on the ships.

Each man tried to remember as much of his training as he could, the year of training that they gone through to join the army flooding back to them. Each man was a master of his weapon, trained to be as fearless as possible and mentally prepared for almost any situation. In short, they tried to restet their minds into the combat mindset they were drill with.

0400 Hours; Special Operations Deployment; Outside the City

The special operative squadron, now numbered at ten, stood one hundred yards from the green line. The green line is a noticiable change from the green from the vegetation to the yellow of the desert sands. Nothing grows past the green line because the water from the river only reaches up to that point.
On the horizon, past the ancient city and into infinity, a gray line stood out from the black of the night, summonning the approaching dawn. And so the squad stood drinking water and eyeing the city. Getting into the city would not be a problem. Dressed as the locals, the squad could walk through the gates, or if worst comes to worst, scale the wall. And Captain Steele had made his decision.
"We may look suspicious coming through the gate. Besides the gate allows the guardmens ample time to search us. And beneath these thin robes we are covered in ammunition and explosives. But the wall is low enough to boost each other up."
The squadron eyed each other, sizing each other up. It was decided that Vogin would be the hoister, for he was strong enough to hoist up the other members of the squad, but light enough that they could then pull him up over the wall. Terry, the lightest in the squad, would go first, and then help the others pull themselves up.
Vogin got down on all fours as Terry backed up several feet. When Vogin gave the thumbs up sign, Terry sprinted towards him and hoisted herself up and over the wall. Her head poked above the cement, looking into the dark morning of the ancient city.

OOC: The coastal city is called Tanis I assume that where you will be attacking. The desert ya know the one that surrounds almost my entire nation is merely called the wastelands. Oh if your intending on having your spec ops guys talk to some of my people I hope your fluent in Ancient Egyptian.

IC: The infantry regiments were pouring into Tanis day by day. The vast legions of the Sparten army marched in unison all stamping their staff weapons (no not the ones from SG-1) on the ground in a symbiotic rhythm. The chants were in some ancient language that the unknown and unwelcome guests would not know of.

The guards patrolling the inner wall which reached 100 meters into the sky would not see the intruders clamber into the civilian districts from the sand barrier. Meanwhile the Sparten military waited for the storm.

Sitting on the balcony of the Imperial Palace pharaoh overviewed his city. The burial pyramid in the centre now complete glistened in the sunlight almost blinding him.

http://showcase.netins.net/web/ankh/greatcity1.jpg

Daily reports were coming in on the nature of the military. Aid was being sent from allies who had always been close friends of the Sparten nation, though never recognised officially everyone knew of the alliances that the Pharaoh had created.

The slaves now had their seasonal holiday, an entire month away from the toils of the city and constructs which was a good thing considering the need for all able bodied souls. Reading intelligence reports gained from satellite reconnaissance the movements of the enemy fleets were being well documented. Letting out a brief sigh the Pharaoh motioned for some of the court girls to come and please him, the pleasures of the body did sometimes outstrip those of the mind.

The fleet had halted for refueling, and the generals were giving more propaganda speeches to the men. F35s began flying recon patrols near Sparten waters, monitering enemy movements with the city of Tanis. This would be a worthy objective, but the marines were well indoctrinated in urban warfare. Most of them had even taken part in it in various other wars.

0415 Hours; Special Operations Deployment; Tanish

Terry, her head poked above the low wall, saw to here amazement a vast city, filled with hundres and hundreds of momuments. And in the distance, a wall, standing one hundred meters tall around the palace.
A villager saw them and pointed, and Terry swifty pulled out her gun, silencer mounted, and killed him. In the early morning there was the sound of a clap underwater, and the villager sunk to the ground.
The rest of the squad hoisted themselves over the wall, and then picking up the body, one person per arm and one person per leg, swung the villager up and over the wall. Of course, it took several attempts, the first try, his arm hit the wall, breaking in half with a sickening crack.
The squadron had been briefed in rudimentary Ancient Egyptian by a team of specialists. They knew day to day civilian talk, how to ask for directions, food, lodgings, and transpotation. And from there, they had counted on their guns doing the talking.
Steele gathered them around, "Alright, here is the plan. four of us, Terry, Vogin, Gilepsee, and Fewver will head for the palace. You know what to do. The rest of us will stay here in the city. Get some idea of the population and some basic sketches of important monuments, pipelines, and transportation areas. We will also work to find a supplier. Someone who is not afraid to get his hands dirty for some cold hard cash."
The four Steele had choosen stood at attention, in unison, they said, "Yes sir!" and began walking towards the palace. Steele and the rest walked off towards the city center, to refill their water.
One of the newer members of the squadron, Keler, asked, "What about Heckler sir?" But Steele turned, looked him straight in the eyes and said, "Heckler is dead. There is no going back."

"Your God demands your attention." The God whispered. Everywhere in Bob-bob, all the people stopped, the powerful whisper forcing its way into the minds of all those within Bob-bob.
"See the glory of me." He commanded, and all seen the horde of Bob-bob, assembled at last, beside the ocean. Men extended into the horizon. The vast fleets of Bob-bob shining magnificently in the ocean. The horde moved, marching triumphantly towards the metal hulls in perfect unison. Boarding took several hours, though the preparations had been made beforehand.

The doors of the transports slammed shut, though not all of the troops had assembled. Assembly would take many more months. The noise of the marching would have echoed in the palace of death, souls of those passed mourning their inability to join in the conflict. The transports left the docks, leaving to join those ships glistening in the distance, the fleet of Bob-bob.

The God was pleased with the profiency at which his people had set around their task. Nobody need be punished for failure, for treason to their God. The vision in the minds of the people vanished, and the sound of life resumed around them. tasks began again, the people redoubled their efforts.

The God turned his attention to Sparten, his vision returning above the capital city, Red in the sunset. "How dramatic", he thought. "It may be the case soon enough." He looked at Pharoahs palace, dominating the city. Once again, he focused his energy, and appeared before Pharoah.
"The preparations are done. We shall be at your side before long." He ignored the Pharoahs current situation, and disappeared once more.

To IDF and Allies: We agree with the bombing runs of Tanis, though it is only one city. This vast nation must be invaded in a pincher assualt from both sides upon the center as well. If we were to attack from the west and east soon after bombing of Tanis we should find them unsuited to defend both areas. My soldiers are currently posistioned to Sparten's eastern front. They will move westardly as soon as bombing is complete. We hope a nation towards the western front will begin its assualt soon after ours as it will cause havoc on military infrastructure. Also, my marines are ready to invade Tanis once bombing has stopped.

OOC: IDF, how does your 30" guns work. (I use 21" on my Superbattleships, but have 16" as well.) What I mean is, a 30" gun will take excessive amount of time to reload, making it almost useless in a real sea engagement.

IC:

~Intelligence Team~

The 5 Land Rovers finished their recon mission and returned to the staging area. They had moved 30 miles inward on the entire Sparten border. They found nothing but small settlements, and rolling dunes. A perfect situation to set up a more advanced staging area with landing strips, and medical facilities.

~NRS Chamberlain II~

Admiral Rey looked up from deep with in the command room of the massive superbattleship. He saw the grim looks on his officers, knowing war was imminent. "Well gentlemen, feel safe we are on board this ship. Remember, do not fire until the rest of the fleets are ready. I hope all the targeting cordinates are set." The other men nodded, and rose from their seats to go to their command areas.

The taskforce of the Exodus has finally reached the area of conflict after a freak hurricane tossed it around for a while. Two F/A-18s were lost at sea, but otherwise the taskforce was ready for war. Five Predator drones took to the air, powered by the morning sun, in order to scope out friendly and enemy movements (so as not to hit the wrong ship, etc). The Predators began to fly towards the shores of Sparten, in preparation for the operation to commence. Once the survellience is complete, the real war will begin...

OOC: Look i want people to go and read the description i gave of Sparten if not i will be constantly pointing out flaws in posts.

1) Setting up airstrips will be next to impossible due to movement of sand. Overnight they will be instantly covered in a few hundred tonnes of sand. All of my airstrips are in my cities surrounded by 100m high walls. LOL Coreworlds Sparten rp'd by the owner of IB are you sure you want to piss someone off with a huge fleet around your main world? but heh your a good roleplayer so welcome.

2) I dont have a flipping border my nation if you did read the description post is a huge island three times the size of Australia.

Within the city of Tanis life was continuing as usual. The markets were bustling with life and the shops were still open regardless of the circumstances. Upon the roofs of the Sparten city Anubite guards were fixing shackles to the buildings, thousands of metal rings being drilled into the roofs of homes and temples as soon as a ring was fixed a Jewish slave was brought forward and chained to it. By order of Ramasees himself the slaves would die along with their masters. If the so called “army of liberation” were here to save the Jews then a scorched Earth policy would surely be unthinkable.

Meanwhile along the Coast anti fighter and missile defence systems were now being brought online. Artillery and the small contingent of tanks available to the defence of Tanis were now taking the positions while overhead the fighters of the Sparten air force took to the skies. (My fighters are kept constantly in bunkers. When they land they need to be completely cleaned as the amount of sand they pick up from the air does clog their systems.)

Location Outer wall of city.

The vast machine lurched forward, the black diesel fumes were a tell tale sign of a powerful machine at work. Pushing the built up sand away from the wall the manned bulldozer lurched towards a red pool of a thick gooey liquid. In the desert heat it was rapidly evaporating however the stark contrast from red to yellow alerted the driver to something in the sand. Stopping the vehicle out of curiosity the driver bored out of his wits descended the hot metal stairs and went to investigate. Nearing the strange liquid the driver slowly came to realise what it was. A dead woman of only eighteen lay in the sand, her face frozen with the look of terror. Turning his cringing face away from the body the driver went to back to his station and radioed in the incident to the Anubite guards.

A short while later the guards turned up. Sparten forces having one of the best response times for security (ya know to stop slaves rioting). Instead of the usual police force attending it was government policy to have the Anubite guards investigate any matter of unusual circumstances within the nation. A large man clothed in black armour was the first to attend the scene. Peering down at the body the guard instantly realised this crime was not committed by anyone within the city. It was committed from an outside force. The bullet hole in the woman’s chest was the tell tale sign. (firearms among the general populous are forbidden only the military has them.) Radioing through instantly the alarm was raised within the city. They had intruders.

OOC: Iraq as far as I know is way different from the Sahara conditions of Sparten. As far as I know the Iraqi desert is not huge rolling dunes so sand will not get into the machinery as much as it will say it were in the Sahara. Using two tonne vehicles is also a bad idea on a large sand dune but it isn’t impossible just very very difficult. The tanks would constantly kick up sand and have them clog their own systems it wouldn’t be worth their while. Iraq is different from my nation as there is a lot less sand in Iraq.

Here is the differance between the two.

Iraqi desert = flat land with little sand dunes

the guns are Electro-thermal chemical naval guns. They use a propellant that sends them 300 miles. (this is based on the system used in the Doujin). The 30" gun dreadnoughts are now the norm on the seas and they are good in a battle because they outrange rival guns and bombard cities.

I ask you spartan how do your 100m wall stand and support itself. Also if it comes up with a few hundred tons of sand every night then that means your walls are useless and sand would eventually cave in all of your cites with sand. How does your nation live under these harsh conditions. I mean with all that sand you have it would flood your crops with sand thus making your nation into starvation. How do you get food?

USS OZZIE GUILLEN, flagship IDF fleet, 300 miles off the coast of Tanis
The Guillen class dreadnought was the flag of Admiral Joseph, who had flown to lead the battle.

The 12 Yorktown CVNs launched all 1,140 F-35Cs. when taking off, they circled the carriers to take fuel from S-3B Viking tankers and the formation flew southwest towards the city of Tanis. The 225 F-35Cs from the de Gaulle class CVNs stood on guard in the air as the Nimitz planes were still in the carrier on alert.

The 11 Imperator class missile cruisers launched all of their TLAM Vs, they had 488 each so a total of 5,358 missiles were airborne. satelites were used to find targets and direct them in. They were targeted at government areas, airfields, seaports, economic centers, transportation centers, military bases, and the city in general. They were also targeted at SAM and AAA sites.

More Cruisers and destroyers launched a total of 12,000 more at similar targets.

The missiles would arrive before the stealth fighters.

The Elite of the Parthian Army: Trained since childhood in a grueling program and used for combat, paratroops, and special-ops as well as bodyguards for the Shah, his family, Satraps, and wealthy nobles, The Immortals are the pride of the Imperial Army Corps. They are grouped in divisions of 25,000 Men in M2-A3 Bradley IFVs and have 300 M1-A2 tanks attached to their unit. The troops are armed with XM-8 rifles or heavy weapons. Units also have mortar and M-777 Howitzer support

3rd Immortals- "Protectors of Persepolis"
10th Immortals- “Defenders of Parthia”

Infantry-
(Of good standard by most nations, Parthian infantry is well trained and ready to perform a multitude of tasks. Infantry ride into battle with M-113 APCs and a few M2-A3 IFVs. Infantry are armed with XM-8 assault rifles or heavy weapons and mortar and M-777 support. Each unit consists of 20,000 Men:

25 Infantry Divisions- 500,000 Men

Maintained by competent crews and constantly prepared for battle, armored divisions are a powerful Parthian force on the battlefield. Each unit contains 2,000 M1-A2 MBTs, 150 MLRS, 100 M-109 Howitzers, 10 R-409 Heavy Tanks (Magdhan designed weapon), 10 Patriot batteries, and support vehicles.

15 Armoured Divisions

Helicopter/Parachute divisions-
Trained to drop into hostile zones in either helicopters or by parachute, the 5000 strong parachute divisions are capable of taking a city with only air support. They are armed with shorter barreled XM-8s and other infantry weapons.

2 Divisions

Siege Divisions- Used to pound cities or support armies, siege units excel at what they do best. Each siege division has 500 M-109s, 300 MLRS, 200 M-107 175mm guns, 10 203mm guns, and 50 M-2001 Crusader Artillery platforms

IC:
30 Arsenal Missile Deploymant ships moved into posistion. Each with a contingent of 500 cruise missiles, 15,000 in all. They moved into range of Tanis, and waited for their orders. Supported by missile frigates, and smaller escort vessels the Arsenal ships had adequate protection for their large scale missile seige. Looking some 10 nautical miles off, on the Chamberlain, Admiral Lord Rey watched the key seige weapon of his fleet being sent outward. He smiled as he turned to look at his Flagofficers "Thank you gentlemen, that will be all. Get some rest, tomorrow will be a decisive day." he nodded and saluted them as they left the room. He said as only his XO remained "May God have mercy on their people, and our military." The XO nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, flying his from west, SAENG troop deployment planes were moving into Sparten. The large troop carriers were armed with 3 cruise missiles, and the 30 of them in the air offered their troopers some protection if needed. They were escorted by carrier based Phoenixes, and refueled by several refueling tankers deployed in the region.

The 1,140 fighters came in under IDF shipborne and AWACs support. The runways were targeted by TLAMs so they didn't expect to have many planes up. The radar system was also attacked early to allow the planes a good chance at success. The lead fighters were guided by AWACs and at a range of 125 miles they fired the AIM-54X PheonixIIs. they also had AAMRAMs and Sidewinders for close range. They fired those when the time came. the next planes came in firing HARMs at the enemy radars.

The next group started bombing the city dropping bombs on troops and general buildings just to cause damage.

That wasn't all IDF threw at the enemy.

The 3 Guillen ships opened up firing their 30" guns. Each ship had 18 of the monsters and they fired at ports, and the city to cause mass damage. A single one of these shells could kill a heavily armored Yamato battleship or even 1 larger than that. They fired their salvo every 45 seconds.

OOC: If anyone had bothered to read my posts you would then get all the answers you wanted about my nation so I’m not repeating myself go and read my dam posts. As for my city walls, the walls are situated on the actual bedrock giving them plenty of support. However once again if you had bothered to read my posts you would find out that I have a two ring wall system. The outer wall is only about 15m high which collects most of the sand preventing it from flowing into the city (well the vast bulk of it anyway.) The sand is then cleared away daily by a few hundred bulldozers and other machines. Tanis is a modern city. As for my crop systems well my nation being 3 times the size of Australia grows their crops primarily on the green zone along the main river flowing through the nation from the wet zone within the centre which is primarily ground water. The vast mountain range located to the North of the nation disrupts the humid warm air sent in from the ocean as the primary winds are southerly. The rain the ascends the mountain peaks forcing it to cool and therefore condense causing almost a perpetual source of rain hence the large supply of ground water due to the large rise in the water table. The source of the great river is then at many locations within the mountain zone. So my crops run all along the vast shores of the great river. Now of course the river alone does not provide enough water so a complex irrigation system has been set up. Sections of cropland are frequently covered by the raging sands however the yearly floods wash the covered areas away and give them their fertile soil back once again. My Crop system also utilises up in the mountainous region vast greenhouses which feed the civilian and slave population alike.



IC: As the enemy bombardment of the city of Tanis commenced all the defences were quickly and suddenly deactivated. The coastal batteries, radar systems and anti missile systems shut down allowing every shot fired from the enemy forces to descend upon the civilian port with all the so called justice and liberation might they claimed to bring.

Sparten cameras situated on the dunes around Tanis and walls themselves recorded the destruction raining down upon the city. Sending the images to the capital where they were then recorded the cameras images would make for brilliant propaganda material.

The Anubite guards all hidden deep within the tunnels underneath the city were preparing for battle. Unknown to the enemy when they would begin an infantry invasion they would find a welcoming committee that would deliver swift judgement to their heaven souls. The city above ground was alive with flame however luckily for the Sparten people all of their buildings are made out of stone and stone alone except for the wooden joints which would be inaccessible to most of the flames and heat therefore if the building did not receive a direct hit they would still be salvageable after the bombardment.

Pharaoh sitting in the throne room watched the fireworks with some delight really. Tanis was next on the list for the rejuvenation and the bombardment from the enemy forces would only force him to restart its construction sooner. “More work for the slaves I suppose.”

After the attack upon Tanis a special broadcast was sent around the world to every T.V station to every news paper revealing the atrocities of the Allied forces. (OOC: You have no documented proof of my genocide upon the Israelites only intel reports.)

The introduction of the show began with Barbers Adagio playing with a slideshow of the devastation of Tanis with before and after pictures regarding the bombardment of the city. Then slowly the title came into view “GENOCIDE BY THE JEWS” The television show would last for only half an hour but half an hour was all the Sparten propaganda machine would need. Film reels of daily life of people that used to exist were shown while soon after the happy pictures, slides and slow motion clips were shown of the bombardment. An image that would have the most devastating effect would be a slow motion caption showing a Jewish woman look up into the sky in horror as a cruise missile visible due to the slow frame rate descended upon her. The missile impacting upon the skull drove her body into the ground before it detonated. These pictures would cause great controversy in the parliaments and homes of the allied nations. At the end of the film an announcer speaking in an obviously strained English accent demanded the trial of the offending leaders before a war crimes tribunal. “Just because they are Jews, does it man they can get away with mass murder and genocide?”

Soon after all of the aircraft returned to the carriers, the F14s were reloaded with more tommohawks. But they had a different kind of payload: agent orange. 200 F14s escorted by 150 F35s headed toward the coast, the F35s suppresed enemy air defences in the vicinity of the F14s with HARM missiles, and the F14s released their payloads of 4 tommohawk missiles each at the green zone. When the missiles would be above a crop field or green house, a canister of agent orange would burst, covering an area roughly the size of a football field with AO.

Soon after the cruise missile attack on Tanis, the emporer recieved word about the results of the attack.

"That was a waste of perfectly good missiles!" he raved, "good thing I abolished congress long ago, hehehe. How goes the attack on the green zone?"

"It is underway now, m'lord, it may take some time to recieve the reports."

"Very well, keep me posted. Inform the people of the enemy's use of human shields while your at it."

"Of course, sir."

"Mr. President? The has been no response over the last 13 hours plus. It's safe to say that they are ignoring our generous demands."
I sighed. "Very well. Commence bombardments."
"Yes sir."

The word was sent to the supercarrier Exodus and her two sisters, and lo, their fighters (F-14, -18, -22, etc) rose into the air to challenge the enemy. Behold, the might of the Imperial Republic, as bombers filled with flaming bombs took to the sky. Behold the mighty strength of our military as the battleships steamed forward to lob 16" shells and Tomahawk missiles onto enemy positions on the shore. Witness the power of the submarines, as they, too send forth Tomahawks to crush the Pharoah's spirit and burn his cities. We have promised to deliver hellfire, and so we shall deliver hellfire. The Marines and Army soldiers await restlessly to test their skills against the warriors of Pharaoh. Many will fall, but it's a sacrifice necessary to free the Israelite people.

Meanwhile, a small demonstration against the war effort (about 500 people) was sent onto the streets as they saw the propaganda and believed. The more violent ones were arrested, but it was otherwise peaceful. No one cared much for the demonstration, since it isn't front page news.

The SAENG's flew high and fast over the enemy territory. The modified version was capable of keeping up with the extremely fast and high flying Phoenixes. The 3,000 airborne soldiers on the 30 massive SAENG were the first ground forces being dispatcted. As they neared the beginings of anti-aircraft structures close to Tanis, the drop bay opened, and the men parachuted safely to the ground. Miles out from Tanis they had a long haul, but could easily muster the strength to knock out the fringe defenses to allow resupply and deployment easier...

"Captain" said a signal corp corporal.
"Yes, son?" The middle aged man said to the young man having to carry the maps and logistic papers.
"Sir, we are close to what we expect to be their first line of defenses. Here is the map" he handed it to the Captain who was looking over the men assembling close to him.
"Thank you corporal, go to your unit." The young man saluted and ran off.

0900 Hours; Special Operations Deployment; Tanish

Captain Steele heard the roar of the planes and the sirens of the air raid. In a moment of redemption, under his breathe, Steele uttered his final words upon the face of this earth "Lord Jesus pray for me."
In the flash of a second a white light streaked through the heavens, and the Grenvali in Tanish were stricken from the face of the good earth.

The time is at hand. We have played your foolish games. Surrender or face the wrath of hell. Grenval will bomb you from the sky, and fight you from the sea.

1000 Hours; Onboard Naval Armament; 10 Miles From Tanish Coast

Slowly and smoothly, the planes rose from the air wing of the carrier. The elevators glided up from the hull, shining in the ocean air. With a flash of orange, the sortie began. Forty planes began leaving the carrier, headed for the Tanish coast.
An electro-magnetic launch system propelled the warbirds foward, into the wind. As the planes approached the coast, the ancient city stood yellow in the morning. A city of the gods as one general later put it.
The flight leader spoke into his headset, "We are approaching the city. You all know the code name and the mission. When I say, we shall collaspe the walls of the slaves and open the passage for our men. But for now, remember the majestey and awe, for when we leave this place, only the fire shall remain."

The guns of the Gullien Class Shah Khosru battleship tore into the SPARTEN coast. 30 inch shells rained down on the butchers of innocents. Ten Iowa class battleships added their guns to the chorus, ripping through the shore and sending clouds of dust into the air. 300 F-18s flew towards the shores and fired AIRAAM missiles at SPARTEN planes. JSFs followed behind and unleashed their deadly cargoes on the LZ. Napalm and clusterbombs fell onto the troops below, tearing soft targets apart in shards of metal. Tank crews were cooked in their burning tanks.

The bombardment came to a close after 30 minutes, the shoreline near Alexandria was desolate, a charred moonscape of craters and broken equpment. On the horizon, the first hovercrafts sped towards the shore containing two Immortals divisions- 50,000 men and 600 M1-A2 tanks. Supporting artillery of the immortals divisions would arrive later. The hovercrafts eventually pulled onto the beach and deployed ramps, Immortals with their XM-8s and Scimitars ran off the ramps for cover while M-1 tanks prepared for battle.

The enemy invasion force headed towards the golden shores of Tanis unhindered. The vast hovercrafts carrying the necessary supplies and troops to mount such an offensive descended upon the beeches unawares that they were falling into a trap.

The position of enemy forces were all displayed on the vast monitor in the control room deep under the ruined city of Tanis. Information noted as a brief measure on what each symbol represented was being digested y all the commanders overseeing the defences. The hovercrafts however were the main point of interest.

The hovercrafts moving in with the hail of wind and power slowly created a sandstorm. The minute grains that were the Sparten beech slowly lifted off and began to swirl in the atmosphere making visible conditions almost non existent. The radar upon the hovercrafts would soon find out that a sandstorm was not good for peak efficiency.

Meanwhile the Anubite guards lying perfectly still, just under the top layer of sand waited for the prime moment to attack. Insuring they kept hidden until the order was given the guards would do nothing until the heavens did.

The vast walls of Tanis now collapsed or barely sanding were now crawling with Anubite guards. In the sections that remained intact the defenders prepared to fight back the tide.

Meanwhile...

The Doomingsland Fleet was preparing to put the marines on the shores, the men were locked and loaded, fully equiped with ACS, and began boarding their EFVs, and the tanks began rolling onto the LCACs. From the reports they were getting from the beach, the friendly forces encountered minimal resistance. Perhaps the cruise missiles actualy did a good job? All's they had to do was look at the ruined city to get the answer for that, but something wasn't right. Why would they have sacrificed their entire garrison for the sake of propaganda. It was finnaly decided to drive the vehicles out of the ships, and prepare to head to shore, but only after a beachhead had been secured.

All bombers, after bombing random villages and caravans, has been recalled, as have the fleet, since the Senate has tied the President's hands behind his back by threatening to cut off military budgets if the troops do not return. It seems that senators have heard the cry to stop the war from the growing population of unhappy citizens, and pushed a bill to recall said fleet. The Israelites will have to fend for themselves.

Umm, Sparten, do you use Imperial Brits as well? (Which one is the puppet gov?) It seems that Imperial Brits has made a post that probably should have came from Sparten.

Strangely, the JA forces will be pulling out of the conflict. The Minister of Defense stated that the troops will be used in another war.

"We feel that we have done our part to pressure Sparten into releasing the Israelites. After the blockade, his nation should not last for long."

The troops began to pull out and set sail for FSM, where they will be stationed temporarily.
