Official statement by the Prime Dictator of Sovriegns:
The Holy Republic of Sovriegns is proud to announce the building of a new Orbital Weapons Platform to be used in our defense, and the defense of our allies. The O.W.P. will be located in a Geo synchronous orbit over our great nation. This station can be used a a launching point for counter attacks, as well as a meeting place for government officials. Currently, it shall be armed with forty 20 megaton Neutrino bombs capable of atmospheric re-entry, twenty 500 megaton uranium bombs capable of atmospheric re-entry, and five 1 Gigaton bombs only to be used as a last resort. Orbital defenses will include 50 Mag Rail cannons, each with a 180 degree field of fire to obliterate any non-friendly incoming ships. it will also employs a scrambler field to nullify any incoming missiles. For Troop-redeployment it has 50 orbital dropships, each capable of carrying 200 soldiers as well at 5 M.B.T's.Acess to the station will be capable through a Linear Accelerator launching ships to the Station.

It should be fully operational within 5 years, as many of the sections are already built. it will have 5 armories, 3 meeting halls, camera's in every corridor and room. Rest assured it takes 5 officers to launch a nuke, each of which has to have his/her retina scanned, as well as voice authorization/confirmation. we would like to invite other nations to bear witness to this project once it is in orbit.

Should you be interested in acquiring one of these, the price is 4,250,000,000,000. and you must supply the nukes, as we don't have but a handful at the moment. we will however share our knowledge of allowing the nukes to re-enter the atmosphere if needed.

OOC: Last I heard, a bomb above 400Mt was pretty well impossible. The core just collapses in on itself and the detonation is incomplete, so all you get is a fizzle yield, maybe a tenth of what it should give you.

/ooc: not ture, i recently did a report on nuclear bombs for my english class (we read a book about nuclear holocaust) and there have already been bombs of 6-800 megatons, however, i will scale the one back signifigantly.

The Kingdom Of Endenia offers its congratulations on the launching of the new Orbital Weapons Platform. The Kingdom hopes that it would become a defensive and not an offensive weapon.

Cassandra Woo
Chief Ambassador

yes, please rest assured that it shall be used only in defense. noticing a rise in foreign hostilities, we thought it prudent to have something capable of defending the motherland with.

I'd realy scrap the elevator since its very stupid and unpractical.

This is just my opinion but a elevator seems extremely unpractical. Simply a enemy fighter just has to come along out of range of the rail guns take down your elevator and you're kinda screwed till you build another. Why not just use a linear accelerator to launch ships to the station. If the station goes down then the accelerator can be used to send ships to orbit to rebuild it and/or protect the station.

Thank you for your insight, changes to our plans are already being made.

stage 1/5 complete. also added guided missles to detuer enemy fighters, as well as a 3rd and 4th docking bays.

what is the exact size and specifacations of the station?
and what was the book name?

The Kingdom is very impressed with the Capability of your nation, we would like to ask your assistance in helping us develop our Space Program. We will of course pay you for your services if needed.

of course. we would be happy to offer assistance in any way necessary. simply let me know in what areas you need assistance. The size of the station is roughly km^3.

/ooc "on the beach" i believe, but i got the information from multiple web sources, i had to due a report on nukes, not the book.
