The akins republic is mobilizing, and would like to provide its 25,000 officers a stealth, and or close combat weapon. We are looking into a saber. Sabers must be expertly crafted, and must be different etc to signify rank. If you are a store front who can provide us this, then we would be happy to do bussiness with you.

well? Is there no storefront willing to sell us sabers for our highly prized officers? We are willing to pay somewhere around 2,000 for for sabers for per say, all officers up to colonel, and 4,000 for sabers for generals, and admirals. This would come to a total of about 50.5 milllion.

We will sell you 3,000 of our finest Toledo Sabres. It may take a while to make that many, as it takes on average one week to make a sabre. Please notify us if you would like further details.

toledo blades huh... Well, I would be willing to pay you extra if you can make them within a year. And as said before they would need to be different for each rank, especially for the high ranking officers. Also, i would like to see some pics of them if its not too much trouble. I wanna know wat im buying :p

Of course. I'll get working right away.

OOC: I may be awhile, as it's Thanksgiving and I may not update much.

As of the fact we are becoming quite-adept at sword making we can provide top of the line, highest quality swords for generals. The production time is one to two years and the price can run as high as $1,000,000,000 per sword, but they are extremely dangerous and powerful swords which are perfect symbols of rich history and have signs of valor, integrity and strength built into the sword. Though its doubtful you would want a billion-dollar sword for ceremonial occasions.

OOC: I am FT, but hey who cares!

The East Coast Federation, Engineer core,

Just toching them with bare flesh will cut you, deeply. And they are made of solid tritanium. it will be centurys before one breaks.
25,000 Dollars Per Saber.

East Coast Federation. I order 25,000 swords from you which comes to a total of 625 million. To tanthan. What is so special about these billion dollar swords. I can buy several hundred tanks for the price you are giving me for one sword. However, do not get me wrong, I am quite interested, and as said before, these swords are intended to be used for stealth, and close quarters combat. Please give me some pics or more information.

This is part of my storefront which I was working on, hope you enjoy it lol.

Through technology and years of hardwork Tanthan swordmakers have produced some intresting swords. Swords which have been charged with ions to have them cut easily through steel and other swords.

The steel base is made through around a year of constant pounding and folding to make it extremely light and strong. With time they can be made with points far sharper then a razor blade. After the sword is made technology is added to make it a threat for enemies on the battlefield.

A small hydrogen powered generator in the base will send a powerful current up through the hilt and on the blade of the sword which has a specialy added superconducter on it. Perfect for disabling enemy vehicles and tanks if prior knowledge of the weak points exists. The hydrogen power plant runs on oxygen which there is plenty of in the air, but the other component hydrogen must have a small container filled with hydrogen again. We provide the hydrogen for free with all orders and will happily allow refills. The amount of time the ion-charged sword will be able to last for is two hours. However since you only need to press down on the but only during a slash it will last for years in most cases.

Also nano-carbon chains are added into the sword by machines using a laser to burn these tiny holes in it. They can be formed in a matrix which will increase the strength of the sword so it can handle high pressure without breaking along with other forces which will cause another sword to be broken in two. Most people will get 7200 swings of it being charged (one swing = one sec duration) before they need it refilled.

Most of our swords range from 3 to 4 feet long based on the user. The steel base is made through around a year of constant pounding and folding to make it extremely light and strong. With time they can be made with points far sharper then a razor blade. After the sword is made technology is added to make it a threat for enemies on the battlefield. They can be decorated with many precious stones and used in many ceremonies and events. Meant to be excellent toys for top ranking generals and royality they serve as a fun hobby and as an inspirational tool to many.

We also offer two other special types of swords:

Lenbatou-
It utilizes two long katana blades curved a little more than usual.The trick behind the swords is that it makes two seperate wounds that have a big impact. If the target did manages to survive from the attack the inflicted wounds are unstitchable thus causing the person to die from non-stop bleeding. This sword also can be ion-charged, but considering the brutal power of the sword it really doesn't need to be charged to get the job done. Perfect for brutally killing prisoners of war or making some enemy feel the true nature of pain followed by a slow death.

Hakujin no Tachi-
It seems as silver armor if wrapped around the waist but in reality it is a devastating sword. The Hakujin no Tachi is a extremely long but thin blade giving it's structure to it. The blade was supposedly give a thin structure while maintaing the strength of a regular sword. It acts like a whip thanks to the fact that the handle of the blade is weighted so that the flick of the wrist can weild the sword. This sword is absolutely incredible. It is the strongest sword we can produce. The sword is up to 30 ft long and is completely flexible like a whip but it is not a chain-sword, it uses alternate metals so that it can be very flexible but not break. A draw back to this sword is that it will take years to master. It can be ion-charged like the other swords, but it cannot recieve too much added strengthing because it needs to be flexible. However the sword is known to cut through heavily armored tanks like a hot knife through soft butter. It can really never be fully outstretched because it is meant to curve. A powerful tactic with the Hakujin no Tachi is that it will be able to bind and constrict a person and by tightening cause hundreds of cuts that are very painful and if pulled tight can cut a person in several pieces. A popular tactic for our assassins is to have it wrapped around the arm or waist and quickly be drawn so that in a fraction of a second they can kill a target and bodyguards in one quick blow from behind and can quickly wrap it back up to go on unnoticed in many cases, no bullet no sound from the instantly killed people, no problems. It is possible to make a cocoon with the sword by holding the handle high and spinning the wrist, which is capable of deflecting many bullets and allow a deadly strike to easily follow and kill a number of enemies. Though you might not want to try this with a tank because a shell at the sword will break it like nothing.

Well, this sounds interesting enough. I order 13 of your sabers(tanathan) for my 13 high commanders. Coming to a total of 13 billion. Also, east coast federation, I order another 10,000 of your sabers, coming to a total of 250 mil

Perfect, Your orders should be there in 4 Days, the ship must warp in to delive them. Money will be taken when you arrive.

The Akins repblic Fleet Admiral meets the east coast deferation's ship at the dock, and pays the heft sum of 875 mil.

East Coast Federation I would like to order 30000 more of your sabers. 1 billion dollars. Keep the extra money as a tip, as we are very satisfied with the last 30,000. We hope this batch will meet expectations as well.

The Dominion of Kanuckistan has a long and rich ristory of swordsmanship and blade crafting.

Uniphase Armouries Interversal, Kanuckistan's cheif military contractor and leading starship contractor, continues that proud tradition to this day; from affordible but rugged folded steel, to beautiful display and cerimonial blades, to master crafted, subatomic-edged SAPL, and anything in between - even blades forged from legendary mithiril.

We offer something to meet all needs, budgets, and tech levels.


As you have expressed interest in future-tech blades, allow me to present something rather high-end: the LLC Boarding Sabre - hilt and blade composed of a single piece of SAPL, with gold and mithiril inlay on the gaurd and pommel, and a high-traction polycrete grip optionally molded to fit the user's had perfectly.

The SAPL blade is what makes this weapon special; literily, a sub-atomic partical lattice constructed with extream precision, the blade itself is, at it's widest point, thinner than the nucleus of an iron atom, yet nearly indestructible, and carries an edge so fine that quantum uncertainty renders it immesurible!

All for the low price of $345'000 USD per unit.

EDIT:
Please note that SAPL is my own creation, and hence my intelectual property; no stealing.
