The leader of Tau un Ben has been assassinated , the country is split between 3 warring factions:

1. The chief scientist, Tau ‘Dwie ‘Don, has all the space travel secrets and laser technology, supporting civil rights, he has 2/6 of the land and 1/4 of the population.
2. The chief engineer, Twas ‘Lie ‘Chi, has the powering secrets of technologies weaponry and has all the weapons, propulsion and accelerators besides the lasers, he has 1/6 of the land and 1/4 of the population.
3. The poorly educated military leader of tau un ben, who those of you who seen the tsunami thread, Tuai’ Do, has some how gained control of ½ of the nations land mass and ¾ of it population, he likes to be called the lord pyromaniac of Tau un Ben and supports compulsory abortions until your 3rd un-born baby and compulsory portions of sawdust unless you can afford pork(it costs 1034 MDS at 4 MDS a £, 8 a $)

Who will win, you help decide who will rain over Tau un Ben(literally, the loser is beheaded, chopped up into 6,000,000 different pieces and shot out of an orbital platform from a Railgun)

ooc...agree w/Dim

IC...which faction is the one that should retain ultimate control? Xeraph will support it.

respectfully,

Gen. Strickland, CMDR EX Forces

ooc: yeah smileys also look very unprofessional.

the leader has been assanated? how sad... well i guess i'll use this oppurtunity to keep the tau empire split up on this planet by keeping the civil war going as long as possible (without them knowing of course) i am sending three batallions along with a few ships from the imperial fleet, i've decided to take the side of the cheif scientist (he seems to be the weakest and i want him to last pretty long

ooc:thanks for advice with the smile, i will post the support and who sent it on the start

ic:On the first week of the assasination the country was in panic, now Tau ‘Dwie ‘Don and Twas ‘Lie ‘Chi have made an unstable allience, Tau ‘Dwie ‘Don and Twas ‘Lie ‘Chihave sent for the 3 reperesentitives of each supporting nation to attened a confrence

IC...which faction is the one that should retain ultimate control? Xeraph will support it.

respectfully,

Gen. Strickland, CMDR EX Forces

Tau ‘Dwie ‘Don is the one i want to win

we have arrive finaly and the warp had been quite merciful on our journy, a good omen perhaps. any way, to prove our alliance to tau 'Diwe 'Don we have begun planet fall and have begun to lightly bombard a few millitary outposts from orbit and have started a few raids to gain some ground

++god moooooode Candian. Wrong tech level, and you can't post someone elses losses++

Muru will support whichever faction is winning.

My colleagues and I send our condolences to your dead Emporer. May he rest in peace. Furthermore, our government hopes that this conflict will be solved as soon as possible, to prevent further lives from being lost.

THIS IS FUTURE TECH!

ic:tau' do:how could that space crazy "cadia" take so much land in a day

chief advisor:mabey its because all your men have no armer and only 5 bullets to throw

tau' do:nonsense, for sujjesting that you will be executed, guards, kill him by bullet

chief advisor:how do they do that with no guns?

tau' do:just stick them up his but till they pop out his ears.

secutery, get me a new advisor, NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tau ‘Dwie ‘Don: This confrence is taking a long time to start, we need 4 more nations to attened to fill the room.

Twas ‘Lie ‘Chi:mabey we should set a time limit for the start, say 7 days on alpha, thats 5 earth days?

Tau ‘Dwie ‘Don:why not.

attention all allied nations, you must attened the confrence in 5 days

We will put our support behind Tau Dwie Don, for his sworn acceptance of upholding human rights.

The worth of sending a delegation is still under debate. Expect an answer in three days.

ooc...agree w/Dim

IC...which faction is the one that should retain ultimate control? Xeraph will support it.

respectfully,

Gen. Strickland, CMDR EX Forces

Tau Dwie Don will be supported by Xeraph. Air and Naval forces on high alert. Deployment to commence shortly.

Ground forces currently unable to deploy due to other commitments. Xeraphian High Command contacting Vampyric allies to assist in this situation.

An Imperial Battle Fleet sent by the Imperium, headed by a Emperor class Battleship has begun making its way through the warp to help the Cadian Fleet to destroy the vile xeno's

An Imperial Battle Fleet sent by the Imperium, headed by a Emperor class Battleship has begun making its way through the warp to help the Cadian Fleet to destroy the vile xeno's

OOC: ok, slightly confused here. Is this MT or FT. If FT, then there are a few nations here who are too young to have FT. Let's keep this as real as possible. It's turning into a pretty good trhead.

this is based at about 60 years in the future from now, and anyway, theres no such thing as an emporor classbattleship in warhammer40k, only imperitor class titans, my nation may have the name tau, and be mainly based on it, but that doesn't mean we'er all aliens on the same planet

The Liberated Conservancy of Teatroia wishes to support Tau 'Dwie 'Don in this conflict. Military deployment details are beign worked out now, and will be forwarded as soon as possible.

(ok i won't treat this like the 40k univ but in 60 years man kind will most likley have the capability of more profesional space travel)



Damn! my country is under attack and the fleet had to return home leaving us stranded here for a while. they drop podded the suplies to start constructing a rag tag base. we be a little on the defensive side un till the bases are finished

(please note that the bases aren't huge, super powerful giant fortress with walls 100 ft tall, they just a bunch of tents and trenches with planty of sand bags, mabey the ocacional building)

<bump>

ooc:they certainly would have

ic: 5 supply craft have began sharing larg amounts of food, water and refrigeration units out among the men and 3 sentry turrets have been staioned around the south side of each base

i really need some one to support the other 2 leaders

The small sea that separated Tau un Ben from Dimmimar was in high tide. Gaius looked out of the window, oncoming ships carried incense, spices and all sorts of over things. They were mainly decorated with banners, abundant in thick, golden lace. Gaius stood on his balcony, overlooking the plethora servants hurrying from place to place, eager to attain his favour, or at least attention. Some looked up, and as was customary in Dimmimar, bowed to him slowly backing away facing him. They thought of him as a god, but Gaius knew the real reason why these people worshipped him: power.

But for a penny, I would help them, take them, care for them

Gaius thought, his coronation vow coming back to his head. Gaius started rubbing his head, news from Tau un Ben had come.

He had always prefered Li'e Chi to the rest of them. The Tau's logical mind seemed to fit in with his idea of a ruler; cool, calm and collected. But for the time being he would do nothing, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

But for a penny, I would help them, take them, care for them

OOC:why would he say that, he created the slavery

ooc:no bumps or spam please

In case anyone cares,The Emperor Class Battleship is the Imperial Nazysmost formidable fighting vessel. I remember it being equal to the Necron Tombship, Space Marine Battle Barge or Despoiler Class Batttleship. So it's the most powerful "Non Unique" ship there (Non Unique meaning you'll find more than one)

Anyways.

The Xenonian Government has decided to send two Jaguar Reconnaisance teams to clear the way for what could be a military deployment, perhaps even allocation of some of our new Destroyers (When we release those to the public which should be within the week)

(These teams wear suits of Light bending armour similar in appearance to the Imperial Sardaukar Elite from the Emperor, Battle For Dune game.)

They are invisible to normal eyesight (Bar their shadows), but do show up on certain forms of imaging and do make noise when they move, so therefore are not unstoppable. They will happily serve as Tau Dwie Don's Bodyguard.

The are equipped with


1 x Heavy Repulsor shield
1 x Heavy "Transfix" Plasma Rifle.
1 x "Avenger" Plasma missile rack
1 x "Shield" Anti missile System.
1 x "Wing" Photon Bending System.
1 x "Orc" Medium battle armour, comprimised of Woven Silksteel and Plasma Fused Steel Alloy with built in Jetpack.
1 X Cold Plasma Shield.
1 "Messenger" Infantry fusion Powerplant.

Put simply, they fufill the role of snipers, and can tackle modern day battle tanks with relative ease. They are essentially Powered Infantry as tough as tanks, as with all our troops. But they are few, as they take years to train. One Medic and Leximechanic will be with each team.

tau'dwie'don:theese elites are most apreciated but i prefer my stealth pathfinders as a bodygaurd, having spent my life growing up with them and all. every one is allowed to make a small millitary base near the south coast os twi'la'kie, the capital city of my land

the stealth gaurd consist of 5 men;
armerment:
5 'rail' rifles
5 stealth 'disrupters'
5 light 'benders'
4 'timer' bombs
1 'holocaust' shield projecter
5 'death and glory' blades
5 energy suits

rail rifles shoot a solid piece of compressed granite fast inougth to burn air as it travels
stealth disrupters overload any stealth fields within 10 metres
light benders change the direction of light so no light actually touches them(doesn't work when enemy has heatsensers,...)
timerbombs creat a small ,whole in time, stoping movement for 20 seconds if anyone in 5 metres touch the blast
holocausts burn any living thing that touches it that is not registered as allied
death and glory blades serge with electricity when used in the holders suit and self desturcts when user dies
energy suits have a mini power generator to power weoponry and are made of flexable 'taler', 5 sheets of steal compressed together

dwe to supply shortages we only have 5 more of each item

Confidential Transmission from Jaguar Team Gamma to Xenonian Headquarters.

Tau un ben has a high level of technology, apporaching the level of our own coalition. This comes of little surprise, considering the combined population of the original Xenonier before the great fall was over 1.5 billion, and that both this nation and our shared the high degree of technological innovation.

They have mastered energy shields. However they do not have the level of control over materials to the point our own Cold Plasma Shields (And Protoype Neutron armor and quantum shields) have. Reports indicate that Frequency modulator chips would be an easy way of destroying the shields. We will offer countermeasures as soon as we can.

A possible means of trade could be found by offering these as a means for Tau un ben to join in a alliance, or at least a beneficial militay agreement.

Other weapons are a clear indications of a technology level apporaching our own. Mass Rail drivers are to be found in their army, as is Advanced EMP anti stealth, light bending and energy blade technology. We do not know their means of power as yet, but we will find out.

OOC: Nice Region, BTW Tau un Ben.

ooc:thankyou
ic:tau dwie don: well if u wish to know i could tell u after the alliance is made when I've won, our energy-fields are designed to stop combat, we use are magnetic, taler suits that repel metal

OOC: I can't help but think the perfect way to reunite your population is through a war. Beats me why, but you could say it'd "Band the population together" or something.

ic:tau dwie don:it has been more than 5 days, let the confrence begin

ooc: people may still turn up or listen, but if they dont come then they won't get a say in how we attack

this sucks, i cant attach my map to this thread, ive tried bitmap, jpeg and gif, it wont work

IC:

Leximechanic Alexi Stravoski may have seemed a monster to the casual observer. at over 2.2 Metres tall, his large, seemingly muscled frame was surrounded by the tools of his trade. Several Servomechanical arms ached around his shoulders, each carrying either a rending tool, or an extra weapon. As the sole member fo the two teams at present, he knew they would be out, finding a few enemys to observe.

He couldn't help but run over his thoughts in his head.

Alright then, since this conference is about to begin. I'd better make sure our position is clear. The chance for amicable relations with a nation of this size is too important to be mishandled

Gaius sat at his desk, reading the Annuminatar Daily. The news was entertaining to him, it seemed childlike. He controlled most of the economic and military power of the region, he controlled the majority of the regional population. The plethora of propaganda made by the Dimmimaran government made out Dimmimar to be a power in the region, although it's purpose was to suppress nationalism. Nationalism would destroy the melting pot of Dimmimaran cultures, it was better for them to think of Dimmimar as weak, rather than strong. He scarcely mentioned to them that if the entire of the Dimmimaran army launched an invasion en masse against the rest of the region, that Dimmimar would soon overwhelm all oposition. But still, it was better to maintain the status quo rather than upset it.

Even now his troops became restless, restless for the thrill of battle, soon they would. Soon the power of Dimmimar would be unleashed upon Tau un Ben....

ooc:
Xenonier, i dont know who your sending to the confrence, say quickly

dimmimar, this is a confrence between both the sane leaders, aren't you coming?

A small, lavish letter arrives at the desk of the three respective leaders of the separate factions. It is plated in gold, to represent the wealth of Dimmimar.

My fellow leaders,
It has come to my attention that your petty squablings have an effect upon the immediate region. You are our closest neighbour and I would like to see this problem resolved. I will attend tomorrow, but not in person. In a few hours, a small boat will arrive carrying a video-portalink robot, that will relay my image to the conference.

Your sincerly,
Gaius Serpentius

(Somehow I don't think Dimmimar quite classifies as sane. A powerful nation, cunning and funny to watch, but not quite sane)

ok, the field bases are set up and the heavy artilery is in position, i have sent in a scout team to find enemy positions

Dimmimar! I should have known there representitives wouldn't come in person, ah well.
As all of us that are here are here, we should start, the only 'safe' way to get in is the east side of the western mountains, but that is garded by a small castle, about the only thing that has guns to go with ammo, and his only space station shielder is supplieing power to the entire thing and is making a shield around it, we shoul find away to get into it before we attack the castle

I.C:
A small parachute dropped out of the sky, eclipsed by the setting sun. The Robot was enclosed in a hardy case of steel, in case the parachute failed, although this was usually at the expense of the person being hit by the falling robot. As it rapidly spiralled down, it's gliding wings extended, giving it the opportunity a safe landing outside the conference room. It landed on the green outside the conference centre, it's wings retracting and it's parachute enclosing, the steel shell that covered the robot being put back inside the robot, for later use.

The robot looked like something out of a film. Indeed the designers had used the basis of the robot from the film Johnny Five. However the designers discovered that the design could be far more than a half-hearted joke, it could be effective. It was far larger than the film version, carrying sensor equipment and limited AI equipment. It could project a holographic image that looked like the person was there in all actuality.

The Robot scuttled along, until it was halted by two guards, a pre-recorded message confirmed the robot's identity and the guards allowed it in, bewildered by it's strange design and silenced by it's array of lethal weaponry. This would truly be a night to remember....

The robot looked even more comical now, it's plethora of weaponry had been stripped from it. It looked naked, if a robot could be naked. It scuttled down the hallway, slowly looking around, analysing data and collecting it. Finally, it arrived through the doors, the robot only just being able to fit through, causing havoc by knocking over people and accidentaly crushing them, adults being knocked over and dying a painful death under the wheels of the robot.

It sat down, or tried to sit down, crushing the chair and smashing a glass vass. It's circuitry went into overload, grabbing the pieces of glass and smashing them into the face of another servant, killing him instantaneously. Whilst another smashed into the face of another person, mutialating his face, the second blow ripped of his head, whirling into a crowd of servants, knocking them unconscious.

Does not compute...

The robot went into manual overload, it's last act was to destroy another chair, sending it crashing into the portrait of the late emperor, destroying instantly. It's central brain stopped any more havoc from happening, the robot patiently started singing I love you, you love me, we are all a happy family...

It then started reciting the bible in strange ways, the ten commandments became mixed with the bible of Khorne, the cries of skulls for the thou not shalt kill throne echoed all over the hall.

It then projected the image of Gaius onto the floor, Gaius looked amused.

"I take it that you are all gathered?"

Alexi Couldn't stop with the laughter. Within seconds, the proud leximechanic was consumed with a fit of obvious amusment. Smiling to himself, he disabled both the Insidiour projector and the "Real" people's assailant.

Using a complicated Neural Networking Subroutine, he was able to immobilise the robot. Seemingly Harmless, the source of his greatest laugh in this century could only stare through it's projection into space, a line of drool falling from one holographic cheek, the so named "Gaius".

Standing well back from it's appendages, he added it's schematics to his internal memory cognitors.

What an interesting machine, he thought to himself.

ooc:it would be more ironic if it sang 'daisy daisy, all i need is...', that would copy from 'space odessy 2001' when the ship board computer 'HAL4000' gets shut down

ic:"that is no way like johhny 5 from short circuit 1 or 2" exclaimed lie chi, "its more like hal from space oddessy 2001, anyway, Gaius, how do you think we get into that ship?"

OOC:
What ship?

the shielder class ship thats protecting the castle next to the mountains and giving it power

The imperial comander recives word back brom his scouts: scout team beta: Sir, we don't have much time but we have found plenty of military positions- Imperial comander: Good. Upload the data to us now. Sout team beta: but sir. we have found somthing much more interesting. There is going to be a special confrence between some many important leaders. We don'y know exactaly when it is but if we stay a little longer we can find out the exact date. Imperial Comander: this may be a negotiation for peace and we don't want that until this nation/planet is a smoking crater, your new mission is to find out when that confrence starts and report it to us immeaditly. We will atempt to destory the confrence room and any one in it with artilerly. Scout team beta: right away sir!

(Artillery is EXTREAMLY innacurate at this range so i'll leave it up to the leader of the confrecne to say what gets dammaged in the city and hopfuly the confrence room)

(oops, i wasn't paying attention to who the confrence was for)

Imperial comander: SCOUT TEAM BETA YOU ARE AN EMBARRASMENT!!!! You chose to spy on a friendly city and tell me about a confrence that our allies are going to! Your lucky I had remembered about it! Socut team beta: Sorry sir, but all these tau buildings look alike, and the translator has been acting kinda funny latley. Imperial Comander: *sigh* ok, ok just head home and pray that we left you somthing to eat. *changes chanel on radio* Artillery comand! report in! Artillery captian: Yes sir? Imperial comander: Redirect artillery to our previous coordinites, we are bombarding those military bases ASAP!! Artillery captian: Right away sir!! The imperial comander sits down rubbing head from a terrible headache.


(I'll say that the bombard was diected to three bases and that one base was missed completlely, one took minor dammage, and that one took heavy dammage) by the way, the scout team did not mess up the these coordinates, i'm bombarding enemy bases

Tuai’ Do : Damnation, wat the hell hapened to my defences, i want all of our men to be given more ammo and a gun, then charge past the castle, invasion shall comence.

back at the confrence

Twas'Lie'Chi: well, i sujest we shoot an ice or cooling laser at the holocaust shield to get to the staition, then send in a boarding team of elite troops. I ask our allies to supply the beam as our eomamy isnt the best.

Alexi took centre point.


"Well, I suppose we could rig an beam to deflect Quantum energy off an orbiting satellite. We'd need an immediate satellite launch, but the benefit would be useful, as Taui' Do doesn't sound like the person with the foresight to target such a small object in the atmosphere.

"As for Attacks, my men are currently "evaluating" the combat abilities of the enemy."

(Quantum Tranmisser Alexi is holding powers up, Tau Un ben soldiers can be heard screaming)

"See? We will have enough data to asssist with the attack in 0800 hours"

"The thing is that its a heat shield,"shouted Tau' Dwie' Don, "it melts anything that touches it, it is twice as hot as the core of the sun, we need a freeze beem, preferably in the shape of a ring thats hollow so we can send in the boarding ship without it freezing! anything thats metal and comes incontact with it will melt!"

ooc:the cadian empire; you might want to come on more now, to see the map go to www.imageshack.us and search for 'tau un ben3'
ic:the mass of 5000 soldiers arrived at the boarder of Tau Dwie Do's land and began to fire their new weapons with great enthusiasm, but 200 got killed by the random shooting of untrained men with guns, many hadn't seen a gun before and shot themselves. Soon after the officer shouted charge, the invasion had begun and the cadians were caught off guard by this low-tech assault.
the sentry turrets began to run low on ammo, the cadians had to be ready.

the imperial comander was screaming at the top of his lungs, trying to speak over the roar of the heavy bolters (heavy machine guns) "COME ON!! FIRE!!! FIRE!!!! SHOW THESE ALIEN SCUMBAGS WHAT IMPERIAL GAURDSMEN ARE MADE OF!!!! *to his comm link* officer Baal! send squads in to support the right flank! use the chimera (APC) to push em back." *back to his near by men* GET THOSE SENTRY TURRETS RELOADED!!! THIS NOTHING COMPARED TO REAL COMBAT!!!" "crap!" he thought to him self as a dozen mem fell to the intense fire of the tau rifles. "they cant shoot for Sh*t but those rifles really pack a punch!" Bring his bolt pistol up he opened fire with very lage semi-automatic pistol failing to take down any of the assulting soldiers. geting anoyed he found it apropiate to scream at his troops again. "WHY ARE'NT THOSE LEMEN RUSSES (battle tank with very large main cannon) FIRING!! TELL THOSE SORRY SON OF A B*TCHES TO GET THOSE SHELLS LOADED!! It was going to be a long day, he thought to him self but they had plenty of cover and he knew this battle was theirs...

(two small cadian senty out posts are wiped out and an average base is taken, it is used as a strong hold for the advancing tau army, the battle is a stale mate and will continue from the tau point of view)

"Boys. We have a problem. Some primitive morons attacking the cadians."

"Roger that. So, what are we going to do?"

"Move in, set up an elevated sniping position and target the leaders. Cover the Cadians and whatnot. Just keep down"

"Yes sir .., we'll have them in our sights soon"

the imperial comander was screaming at the top of his lungs, trying to speak over the roar of the heavy bolters (heavy machine guns) "COME ON!! FIRE!!! FIRE!!!! SHOW THESE ALIEN SCUMBAGS WHAT IMPERIAL GAURDSMEN ARE MADE OF!!!! *to his comm link* officer Baal! send squads in to support the right flank! use the chimera (APC) to push em back." *back to his near by men* GET THOSE SENTRY TURRETS RELOADED!!! THIS NOTHING COMPARED TO REAL COMBAT!!!" "crap!" he thought to him self as a dozen mem fell to the intense fire of the tau rifles. "they cant shoot for Sh*t but those rifles really pack a punch!" Bring his bolt pistol up he opened fire with very lage semi-automatic pistol failing to take down any of the assulting soldiers. geting anoyed he found it apropiate to scream at his troops again. "WHY ARE'NT THOSE LEMEN RUSSES (battle tank with very large main cannon) FIRING!! TELL THOSE SORRY SON OF A B*TCHES TO GET THOSE SHELLS LOADED!! It was going to be a long day, he thought to him self but they had plenty of cover and he knew this battle was theirs...

(two small cadian senty out posts are wiped out and an average base is taken, it is used as a strong hold for the advancing tau army, the battle is a stale mate and will continue from the tau point of view)

ooc:we are not aliens and they have no armer and no training

ic:The swarm was over joyed to have taken a few outposts, but many of the troops had never seen such things as the cadians stuff, they began to set up a few tents when the commanding officer stroled up to the base

"We have recieved word from the lord pyromaniac, his orders are to stay here for 1 day to establish a few defences and take over the sentry turrets"

"But sir...er..." the soldier took 5 seconds to find the words, "we don't know how to load up these 'sentry turrets', or even make a sandbag wall, we have no training."

"Well we can start training in 2 hours, we need to take a breather"

"thank you sir... i will not......."
his words were cut short as he fell to the floor from a shot to the arm, a soldier on the other side of the camp was playing with his new gun and accidentilly fired the thing. The wound was serious, but the officer ignored the lower ranked runt and shot the person with the gun in the chest, he had the accuracy of a sniper, he was the only trained person in the platoon, and he was trained well

Sir, we have a target. They don't have a clue.

Good. Commence fire.

We'll inform the Cadians they can begin a counterattack anytime soon Sir.

Execellent. THese bastards will be sucking fumes soon. Get to it boys!

after finishing off another tau soldier with his chain sword (a chain saw but more compact and light weight) the imperial comander realized that they were retreating to their newly aquiered bases. "men! stand your ground here! let them run, just make sure u can put a few bullets in their backs before they're out of range." he began to think of how to make an effective counter attack, "hmm, a few few tanks could do the job easy, but i don't want those defenses destroyed, and if they find any rocket launchers we had stored then the tanks are toast..." he chucked at the thought "even if they did find the rockets they probaly wouldn't know how to load them let alone aim them with the laser guide. but he does have plenty of infantry in heavy cover-" just then an idea struck him. *to his radio* "junior oficer marks, are still in posesstion of those two hell hounds?" "yes sir, in perfect condition save for a few dents." (a hell hound looks like an american Bradly apc acept that it's not a transport and it has a gigantic flame thrower as it's main turret) "perfect" *changes the channel on his radio so that all officers here him* "listen up, that last battle was easy so were not gonna need any rest before the counter attack, marks position your Hell hounds to advance on the ememy, flush em out of the the trenches, companies 2, 3 , and 5 will assist in the assult with some cover from sinpiers in company 5. when the infantry reach the walls use explosives to get the doors open and rush in. Any one not part of the assult will keep their eyes open for any surprises. i will lead the assult.

Team one in ... The cadians are set to launch an attack!

I thought I told you to watch the attackers, not our allies! ...

We were hacking into their primitive comm network sir.

Ah, okay.

The first round of unexperienced attackers felt the touch of plasma. The unfortunates were reduced to ash or mewling corpses, the Plasma Rifles butchering everything they hit. The Xenonian troops picked targets with efficency, firing and reloading in seconds. They moved like quicksilver, moving from place to place on their hill, always finding new cover so as to confuse their foe. Officers and those whom looked more comfortable with their weapons went down under a hail of plasma fire, while Plasma rockets impacted into the still twiching corpses, shredding flesh and turning the area into something of an abbatoir.

The commander of the attackers watched in surprise as a purple light appeared on his chest. Running his hand in the path of the light, he discovered it struck his hand if he placed it in front of his chest.

It looked like some kind of laser ...

"Team one ... I sure hope the Cadians can see what's going on here ..."

"aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! M...my hand!" Screamed the officer *into radio*"Men, were under attack, man the defences, load the power cells into that long-range, rail cannon sentry drones now!!"

during the last 10 minutes the soldiers had under-gone intensiv training in accuracy, loading and electronics, they were now able to pilot a tank, rewire a computer and shoot a plasma-flamer. They had become the average soldier.

The sentery gun had been powered up just in time and was creating a ditch using its rapid-fire rail-cannons, reinforcments would arrive in 10 minutes so they had to hold for 15 minutes

second office:sir, we have found that some cover fire from the enemy is comming from that hill to the south.

first officer:well send a demo squad to deal with them, there are 2 tanks arriving from the enemy and the heavy squad is needed to get them.

seconed officer:sir, yes sir


ooc:just a description of every thing

rail-cannon:6 barreled rotating gun fireing 2 shells a second, shells are 20x40x60 cmcubed fired at 445 meters a second leaving burning trails behind them

plasma-flamer:a gun that fires an 'atomic spray' if you wish as plasma is the energy made from the splitting of molecules through heat or electricity

demo squad: 10 troops that have got specilist demolitions equipment(like grenades and rocket propeled dinamite and hand morters...) and training

heavy squad:10 troops that have got specilist training and equipment for taking out heavy infantry and aurmered vehicles(like ap sniper rifles and rocket propeled emp grenades taking out tanks and heavy troops

ther are only 1 of each kind of squad in the camp

"jesus christ! we gave em too much time!" said the imperial comander. just then one of the hell hounds violently exploded taking 20 men with it as the huge barres of fuel ruptured. the other hell hound opened fire with it's inferno cannon (The giant flame thrower) the lucky soldiers were instanty creamated ,bones and all, from the super intense flames, the unlcky ones burst to flames leting out horific screams. one of them was gunned down as as he ran from his trench. the gunner of the monsterous inferno cannon laughed at it all "HA HA HA!!! DIE DIE DIE!!!!!" seeing that the intense enemy fire was under estimated and the ground was stained with blood and ash. "we need artillery support!" open fire on their base! NOW!!" the cannons of the artillery tanks raised up and all at once made an ear shattering explosion that could be heard miles away. The shell came screaming down and caused massive dammage to the facility. "that's enough for now, we're going to storm the fort!" taking out his chain sword the comander picked up his his pace and shouted at the top of his lungs "CHARGE!!!!!!!" the army roared in response, officers drawing swords and soldiers equiping bayonets. they swarmed through the breach and slamed into deadly hand to hand combat...

OOC:
For this RP, consider my forces to be identical to Clone Troopers from Star Wars, just not Clones..... And please get the map hosted Ben!!!

I.C:

Central Mainframe access required

Access granted

Total amount of Dimmimaran forces

41,150,000 Personnel, 21,000,075 Fighting troops.

Recommened amount of forces to be deployed to Tau un Ben?

13,000,000 Fighting Forces

Deploy them

Somewhere over Dimmimar Superior....

The mobilization of forces was a welcome command, the troops were restless. Overall, 24 Divisions were being deployed to overthrow the so-called "Lord Pyromaniac". Coupled with Economic embargo's, it would completely cripple his forces. But for now they would amass their forces, launching numerous incursions to take the Despot's land back. Gaius had plans, but they would come into their own at a later time. ALPHA XIM, or Josh Tarren had been given command over the operation. A tall, burly trooper, he had been in the forces for the entire of his adult life. He sighed and began to oversee the mobilization, diligently taking requests for supplies or fuel. He would wait, and wait he would....

who cares
im sure as hell don't

Hahahah! One squad? These guys really are stupid!

The first squad had already abandoned firing positions. te expierienced soldiers had laready acitvated their camoflague, and were eyeing the terrain for any ambush point.

We have the percet spot sighted. My squard will take out the attackers, you take that army apart.

"I'm giving the orders around here. But, proceed with your plan.

The unfortunate enemy soldiers were probably idiots, people with little knowledge or stomach. However, The Xenonians weren't taking any risks.

One more, the purple laser beam remorselessly saught the armless officer out ...

OOC:
I presume that was Xenonier.....

OOC:
I presume that was Xenonier.....

OOC Yeah. My house has a shared network across multiple computers (To avoid younger siblings getting into my work), so it's almost impossible to log off as one nation. My cousin logs on on that account, I log off, and by opening a new window, it refreshes and I stay on the same freaking Forum account. Grr.

ooc:the officer has a hole in his hand, he is not armless
the squad has camoflage and grenade lobbing training, the tnt they throw could bounce of 1 tree into a strong wind that makes it hit them in a completely different direction
ic:'WERE ARE THOSE DAMN REINMORCMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!' screamed the officer, as he beheaded a cadian and through it away, by a shear chance of luck, the twiching body got in the way of the plasma.
As the body flung accross the field, the rail cannon turret had stopped firing as the body coverred its targeters, it turned nad shoock the corps off, then found the area were the shot hd come from, it blazed away at the rufarea as it could not see the enemy, but knew they were there
the officer cheked his watch, 'WE HAVE 3 MINUTES TO HOLD THIS BASE, THEN THE HELP WILL COME'
this would be close

OOC:
Ben, please get the map up!

Opi'la Dau'i, a small tau soldier was scared. He had been enlisted against his will. An adventure, a place to gain knowledge. That was what the recruitment officers had told him. But alas, things were not as good as the officers had made them out to be. He finished hacking a Cadian soldier to death and looked up, sonfronted with a strange site.

It seemed as though the stars had desended to the Planet! Huge crafts of fiery red had appeared in the sky, eclipsed by falling pieces of metal the size of pebbles. They missed him. He got up, picking up one in his hand, looking for markings. Finally, he found what he was looking for.

Dimmim-!

He was cut off by thousands of tons of metal pulverizing him to death. They were not pieces of metal, but Dimmimaran Techno-Unionships! Approximately three hundred had fallen to the battlefield, 30,000 elite soldiers. Hissess could be heard from the unionships as soldiers disemberked from them. Methodically advancing through the battlefield, cutting down anyone who stood in their path.....

Methodically advancing through the battlefield, cutting down anyone who stood in their path.....

Even the the throes of battle, dodging bullets that were poorly aimed from an opputunistic officer, the Xenonian's couldn't miss the sight of Dimmimars trump card. The team leader knew Alexi would have seen this, and was sure to be evacuating Tau Dwie don, along with the Pathfinders. His teams would have to run, and observe the actions of the new player.

The Demo team saw it too ...

Tearing his helmet from his face, he looked at the shocked faces of the apporaching enemy squad. Looking directly at the figure that seem to be their leader, he shouted out his message.

"You can either run with us, or die. Your choice!"

It is said Human beings will combine to fight a greater threat, or to preserve their freedom, or lives. This spirit survives today, and it was what saved the two fighting groups. The two enemy teams knew they had no choice, and, briefly stopping to make sure they would go unseen, the former enemies completed a wild dash for safety.

Josh Tarren was running along, shooting as he went. AT-LI tanks fired bursts of lasers, pulverizing all that stood in their path. Jump troops sythed Tau troops down with hails of laser fire. Josh then gave an order:

"Halt!"

The entire army halted, albeit slowly.

"Artillery, fire-at-will!"

The JI9-XIM Artillery, carefully protected at the back of the army, opened fire. Some 300 shells were fired at the retreating armies, hopefully killing them, although some would miss. The shells contained live uranium. Although anyone in a decent battlesuit might live, anyone else would have radiation sickness, and die from it......

the imperial comander knew that newly trained troops would be weak in hand to hand combat and as of now he was right, the tau troops were caught off gaurd when the gaurdsmen slamed in to theie lines. "CHARGE!!!! GIVE"EM HELL!!!!" he screamed taking down a tau with is chain saw, it's roar blocking out the screams of the unfortunate soldier. bring up his bolt pistiol he killed another two rushing toward him. the expierenced gaurdsmen were doing well he noticed, the tau rifle couldn't be equiped with a bayonet so they were already were at a disatvantage. but just then the comander noticed somthing in the sky, drop pods from dimmar...

(this was supposed to happen before dimmar arived)

ooc:ok ok, but the riencforcments had arived

in:as the shells were fiering, a great line, some kilometers accross rose from the hirizon, all but 10 men from tau dwie dons population were give armered suits, a rail rifle and 6 emp grenades with full combat trainin and a satalite relay to trak there position, the high lord of the mass was right in the middle, the men were comin...

Team one had finished their full flight, stopping only to gather breath.

"What ... do ... you ... think ... we .... should .... do ....sir?"

"I .... believe .... we .... should .... help .... Alexi .... then ... double .... back"

As the teams gathered their breath, The Strangled communciation graduallly returned to something normal

"Double back ... for what?"

"To introduce Dimminar's main capital ship to a Quantum bomb ..."

"GLEE!"

OOC:
You realise Xenonier, that my people are only targeting the Cadian's and the Tau that are not Lie'chis or Dwie'Dons.

OOC: I guessed as such. However, considering your surprise attack and all, they don't know. They'll find out before they do anything silly, however.

"Halt!" Screamed Josh. "Form into ranks!"

It was an intimidating site, "Load weapons!" "Fire-at-will!"

Thousands of brightly coloured laser beams pummeled into the retreating army, the Troops then running forward....

Alexi continued to run, his Implants gifting him tremendous speed. The Pathfinder bodyguards and Dwie Don, along with Lie chi were inside the armoured vehicle. Although it Pained Him, Alexi was doing his best to keep up with the escaping group.

Hearing the sounds of battle behind him, he concentrated, allowing his altered ears to filter out noise. His eyes focused, bringing up a HUD display that was transmitted to his brain. Through this, the Leximechanic could observe the battle, thanks to Satellites in orbit.

Dimmimar's troops seemed to be on the offensive, and with the advantage. They poured laser fire into their foes, annihilating entire squads methoidically.

Dimmimar ...

ooc:this post was supposed to be before Xenonier posted, and dont insult my leaders of being lazy, every person in the tau nation must have 2 implants, bionic muscles and the 'second brain' wich gives improved senses to the extent of heat vision and sonar, then there are 6 others, the leaders of the country have to have them all, my leaders would preferably run with there allies and men

ic:The troops in there personal armer each had 2 teleport capsules so they could safely cross the river twice, each teleport had a range of 2 km, they were only 1/2 a km away...

At the conference room:
the plasma screen wich covered the intier intirier of the structure lit up, a picture of a path finder squad showed up
pathinder:Sir, we are persitioned 100 meters away from the battle and we think every one at the confrence might want to see this; there are 2 invasion forces!
a picture of the battle suddenly came to the screen, the battle was clear,
lie chi:weres the second invasion force?
pathinders voice: do u see the wavy thing on the horizen that seems to be approching? thats the "pyromanics"*said in a sarcastic and criminal manner* force"

there was silence across the room

dwie don:well, we mustnt wait here, we have to help are troops, we will finish this meeting tomorro, u can use any of the empty houses around this territory, u might find them more relaxing and of more availibility down to the south, we have got to go and get our army

the 2 left simultaneusly into the armerments room were there taler armer and body gaurds were waiting along with 2 stealth assasin teams armed with sniper plasma rifles that can fire upto 5 km but had an accurate range of 2 km
before the left they lie chi said "anybody who would like to come may do so, in this room are inougth taler armer for 1 each, and each have everything these have, they instantly mould the ure bodies shape and have jet packs capable of sustaining flight at 60 mph for 5 min" then they left

OOC: I didn't mean to insult your leaders by having them in a vehicle. It's simply that, while your leaders may want to travel alongside their troops, doing so places them at greater risk, and I assumed your bodyguards would ensure you travel as safely as you can, as anything can go wrong.

Plus, there are other reasons Alexi is running rather than travelling with your troops, Die don and Lie chi, which I'm going to explain later.

Defence systems online, approach pending authorisation...

Josh almost whooped in delight, a squadron of fighters would soon destroy all of the remaining army, he would just have to wait....

ooc:there the fully equiped taler suits, they have light benders

ooc:bump

OOC: Tau, where have you been? I've been unable to get through to you or Dimimar thorugh Tg's.

OOC:well, i have been ill, vomiting and all that, but im back now, and i haven't got any telegrams, u sure ur sendin them to the write place?

OOC:any1 here ever been on runescape? im qwertyasda on there

OOC: Ohhh, killing Tau :P
Can I get in on this? They are of no true service to the Dark Gods; and so must be crushed!

OOC:well, i have been ill, vomiting and all that, but im back now, and i haven't got any telegrams, u sure ur sendin them to the write place?

OOC:any1 here ever been on runescape? im qwertyasda on there

OOC: Bugger. I'm sure I sent them, at least to Dimmimar.

Anyway, Chronosia, they aren't quite tau. You could imagine it that way though. :p

But remember, Guardsmen own all. Nothing better than say "Don't worry about killing me, 100 more with rapid firing lasguns, meltaguns, flamers and the largest amount of heavy weapon support in the game! Plus we can Albative shield you into Oblivion! INVINCIBLE POWERFIST! HA!"

In English, I think we should contact Dimmimar before restarting this.

Yeah; Dimmimmar...what was that famous for again? Gah; memories gone. But Chaos rules even the guardsmen; hell, we corrupt guardsmen. We've got teh lost and teh damned; we've got armies of divinely cursed superhumans; daemons the likes of which you ain't never seen; Defilers, Despoilers, Planetkillers and Berzerkers baby; we pwn j00 all!!!!!
:)

OOC: Choas is GOOD? Four gods versus one emperor in a warp free for all and you still haven't even caught him? Your Four gods lose to one man! I'd hate to see the looks on their faces when the Emperor is reawoken by the Illumnati.

The Imperium has the Grey Knights. Yes, that's right. The guys who can beat a primiarch. So much for Daemons, who'm have never corrupted one of the holiest of warriors.

Still, Guardsmen all the way. At least they still have fingers that haven't been mutated to the extent where they can't shoot straight. Both Space marines aligned to Chaos and the Emperor sit and pray all day, only fighting when they want to, while guardsmen die everywhere. Damn pussies. :p
