As Greer sat at his work station upon the LSS-Red Jacket as the message came in. His large fingers fumbled about as he entered the access code to allow the transmission to be displayed on his terminal. He quickly scanned the message with increasing interest. He again fumbled about his terminal even more now that he was in a hurry.

In his office upon the same ship Admiral Swanton’s terminal came to life as he too read the message, which was plain and clear, he was to make a landing of Earth. He target was selected and his course of action was set out before him. Military involvement was ordered to be kept at a minimum as this mission was to go off without a single problem.

He sent the same message to all the other ships in his fleet although he edited out every thing except for one part:

TARGET: Panama

As the ships moved in closer to the blue planet they soon saw the narrow strip of land they would be inhabiting. As they approached at fast speeds the once narrow strip of land grew and grew until the ocean was no longer visible to either side of the crafts.

When every ship was finally on the ground the crew and their supplies began to be unloaded as scouting parties were sent to select sites for a Largentian settlement whos name was already selected. This soon-to-be city would be known as Largentaopolis and no other.

It was immediately evident however that Largentian equiptment was not suited for Earth’s conditions. They would need ships from Carneige, Largent’s soul supplier of sea ships and such. However, they would not arrive for several months and the fleet along with its cargo would have to hold out until then.

The Next Day

The scouts had returned with news of a site. It was right along the coast next to a seemingly natural canal. The city of Largentapolis was planned and construction began.


OOC: If anyone feels the obsessive need to RP this out, go ahead.

As the City of Largentapolis was well under construction an idea foreign to Largent's idea of defense was proposed. It was suggested that the borders and coastlines be outfitted with massive cannons. As the idea developed specifications were drafted and the cannons went under construction:

HALR Cannon High Altitude Long-Range Cannon:

Height: 156 meters
Barrel Diameter: 1000mm
Shell weight: 600kg
Muzzle Velocity: 200 m/sec
Shell Size: 800mm
Shell Apex: 45km
Explosives: 35kg
Range: Unlimited


For protection these guns would be stored under protective bunkers capable of withstanding any conventional weapon. They would pop out on tracks when needed.

The shells are outfitted with small rockets so that once in Earths orbit they can be given directions and hit any point on Earth's surface.

They would be ready in several months if production went on schedule.

Not to be mean or anything but United Elias owns Panama in earth I.

You're hardly being mean. Also, this is not Earth I or any other Earth. Also, I believe UE is MT where as I'm FT but if I'm mistaken we'll just have to work something out.

The Largentian fleet watched as Mars zipped past leaving only space between them and their destination. Soon it became visible, it only appeared to be a tiny blue marble but it was, in reality, a truely magnificant planet.

"Target accuired captain"

"Roger that HeadGoose. Prepare for final approach."


The ships soon were on course headed for the surface. Flames enveloped the vessels as they closed in on the Largentian colony. Within minutes they had landed and were unloading.

Surrounding them was a barren patch of dirt that would soon be Largentapolis. To the East the port of Großer Portteiler was also under construction. As the naval ships were unloaded they were sent through the canal to the city.

Small villages had begun springing up at this point as civilians rushed to Earth, commonly to avoid depts or obtain tax breaks. Scientists also rushed to the planet as testing had never taken place on such a planet and they would have to creat all new medicines and weapons, optimal for this planet. Without the scientists the colony would surely die.

It was also at this time a Largentian divisions were landing to protect the colony. Some were parts of the most elite fighting forces known to Largent. It was a glorious day for the Union.
