The Empire of MelekTaus wishes to make the following order:

10 Argentine class Galleons

30 Paramount class ADVs

The total comes to 1,321 Billion USD, which will be payed, in full, in one single sum. This will be sent by the use of a Swiss account, the password for you shall recieve in an encrypted burst transmision via Satellite. We require these vessels to help update our aged Five Compass Fleets (North, South, East, West), with 2 Galleons and 6 ADVs distributed to each. Further business with your company may be required at a later date.

[OOC: Well, there will be quite a bit of bumping to come, as I have a lot of things to design.]

To: The Empire of MelekTaus

Welcome back. The order, of course, has been confirmed, and we're looking foward to future business with the Empire. That said, the 10 Argentines will be shipped in two blocks, with the first five ready within twenty-six months, and the rest ready within thirty-two months. The Paramounts will arrive in batches of ten, the first batch within eighteen months, the second within twenty-six months, and the third within thirty-two months.

G11 Series Lightweight Vehicles


The G11 series, featuring G11/A through G11/H, is a complete set of light vehicles, based on the same chassis, designed to fulfill different roles, such as reconnaissance, and electronic warfare. The entirety of the G11 series is tracked. The final decision between tracked vehicles and wheeled vehicles came after an analysis of warfare envisioned by the Empire, and examples in the mainland, the colonies, and the Skiberdeenian colonies. It was decided that most of the warfare, especially for the grand majority of these vehicles, would take pleace off-road, where tracks were superior in ruggedness over the same wheeled variants, and so the ability to safely travel off-road was considered as more of a priority than the ability to travel faster on road. A wheeled set would be released sometime later by Kriegzimmer in the G24 series, for clients that found wheels superior over tracking. The tracks include seven road wheels, with interspersed support rollers, which carry a box like hull, with a steep glacis at the front, with a flat, round turret on the rear half. The suspension is a hydropneumatic suspension system, which is best for road irregularities and maintaning high velocities, despite poor road conditions. Unfortunately, hydropneumatic suspension is also more expensive to maintain than a torsion bar with a MacPherson strut.

The hull is constructed from a high grade atomized steel alloy, and protected by a thin ceramic layer, sandwhiched between two lightweight titanium plates, offering relatively high resistance per mass. The top titanium layer is covered by a thin layer of honeycombed titanium aluminum alloy, which in turn embeds support structures for the possibility of adding appliqué armours, at an expense in weight, or slat armour. Possible appliqués that can be fitted onto the G11 series include advance modular armour protection, modular expandable armour system, explosive reactive armour, non explosive reactive armour, and enhanced appliqué armour kit, as well as most other indegenous appliqué armour designs.

In all variants most computer hardware is EMP protected, and all inner computer hardware is insulated against heavy jolting, an effect of high speed reconnaissance in force. The crew has an assembly of high quality active matrix liquid crystal displays, included in an overhead system, a helmet mounted system, and a frontal displayed system. Most of the vehicles in the series can be noted on the battlefield with a relatively large, for the hull, circular sensor mounted on the low turret to the rear, which is a foward looking infra-red sensor kit, with a co-axially mounted ladar receiver for passive light detection. Sights are a digital camera, with high magnification and focus possiblities, as well as the ability to see both day and night. Each vehicle includes an inter-vehicle short wave communication system, and a intra-vehicle broadband communition system.

AV-18 Luna Vertical Take Off/Landing Gunship

http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1202457/0/nouser_1202/T0_-1_1202457.PNG (http://www.imagehosting.us/index.php?action=show&ident=1202457)

(OOC: URL for picture is http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=av184kn.png.)

(OOC: Credit to Gabriel Crown of Black Tide Studios for the cool picture. Cropping and resizing by me.)

Concept:
Designed to replace the RAH-56/N Comanche, AH-64V Apache and AH-05 Spike used by the Velkyan Army and Navy for close air support use, the AV-18 Luna Gunship fulfills that role quite well. After a contract by the armed force was put out in 2025, many competitors rose to the challenge, developing both rotary wing and VTOL gun ships for the Army and Navy to use. Ultimately, the YAV-18 was chosen because of it’s performance, survivablilty, and raw power, and soon became the Allied Union’s premier gunship.

Propulsion:
The AV-18, powered by powerful twin JETFS-34 turbofans (with cooling jets to protect the crew and aircraft), is capable of vectoring its thrust in nearly every direction, thanks to the nimble but strong gimbals on the stub wings. This concept works much like the V-22 Osprey used by the United State’s Navy and Army, albeit more smoothly and effectively. In addition to these types of engines, the Luna also uses twin JETS-45 turbo shaft engines (with limited vectoring capability) for forward propulsion which adjust throttle depending on the need for it. All said and done, the AV-18 can maintain a velocity of 540 mph in perfect conditions with a service ceiling of about 40,000 feet with a max of 49,000 feet.

Armor and Stealth:
The AV-18’s cabin, which houses its two crew members, is protected by layers of titanium, nanotubes, and other bulletproof materials which are capable of defeating blows from up to 20mm weapons. The engine housings also have similar protection, while the rest of the aircraft is protected against rounds up to 7.62mm and shell fragments up to 20mm. Jamming devices (IR and RADAR), along with various IR suppressors and cooling jets are used to deaden a AV-18s sensory signal, and acoustical dampeners are carried to quiet a Luna’s already quiet (for a engine, anyways) engines.

Sensors:
An AV-18 carries a full suite of sensors, including a RS-252 RADAR array, long range IR sensors similar to those mounted on the ISF-6, LIDAR arrays, and laser designators for illuminating targets. An IFF system is also included to avoid fratricide incidents.

Weapons:
No gunship is complete without a plethora of big guns, and the AV-18 delivers. Utilizing a CGE-24 27mm ETC nitrogen cooled chain gun system mounted under the nose, which can engage both ground and aerial targets with a rate of fire of about 600 RPM with impressive power and accuracy. The aircraft is capable of mounting a variety of munitions, including a set of sixteen Ballista anti-armor missiles mounted on hard points on the stub wings. Also, in addition to external hard points, the AV-18 can carry an additional six missiles in its weapons bays located on either side of the fuselage.

Cost/Export Options:
While the Allied Union Army is not allowing foreign nations (with the exception of close allies) to procure production rights the Luna just yet, the Luna can be purchased via Kriegzimmer Industries for the price of $40,000,000 per unit.

OOC:
Mac, could you do some custom refit work on the old Rommel and Model Classes? i have a rather large number in service and i would like them to be brought up to speed.

(OOC: Yet another design for foreign sponsorship. This one goes with infantry weapons, Mac.)

ARC-3 (Assault Rifle/Cannon No. 3)

Designed as a replacement to the aging AR-56 (a near clone of the United State’s OICW), the ARC-3 was developed by Aramalite Industries, a Velkyan infantry and ground defense contractor. Correcting the flaws in the AR-56 design, the ARC-3 introduced many new designs into the hands of the Velkyan infantryman, and gave him the capability to modify his weapon to his needs and requirements.

The weapon comes from the factory with a standard magnifying red dot scope and a 20mm cannon launcher (along with an uplink to the C&C system used by Velkyan soldiers, similar to the Land Warrior program of the Army), although the rifle can be modified into several configurations, including a marksman version complete with a longer barrel, a machine gun version with a 100 round magazine, and a urban combat model with a under-barrel shotgun. This type of flexibility allows light infantry to become snipers, gunners, and shock troops, all in mere minutes.

The rifle uses 5.56mm caseless ammunition, powered by new liquid propellant, which is superior to powder charges and requires fewer cleanups. The cannon system (an airburst model) uses a laser fire control system to determine shell burst range, and eliminates the need for the soldier to judge the distance between him and his target, allowing for the soldier to produce effective suppressing fire for himself and his squad mates, as well as the ability to take down soft targets with ease and accuracy.

The rifle is made from a combination of light composites and alloys, and is quite light for its size and capabilities. It utilizes a bull pup design, allowing for increased muzzle velocity, and is quite easy to disassemble and reassemble for cleaning. In addition, the weapon can be fitted with barrels caliber in 5.56mm and 7.62mm configurations, in addition to the 6mm round already used. Recoil is handled by a muzzle break and small compensators built into the butt of the weapon. The weapon is painted in non reflective paint to reduce glare, and is very reliable and exceptionally strong and is able to be used in close combat (and carry a bayonet).

The ARC-3 is expected to remain in service for several more years until phased out by the ARC-4, which has begun limited combat testing at Ft. Dog in eastern Velkya.

Greetings! We have been very pleased with the sucess of the AVT-12 as of late, and are wondering if you would perhaps be interested in another design of ours based on the same principals. The VFA-4 "Copperhead" is designed to fill a simmilar role to that of an attack helicopter, and we believe it to be quite capable and revolutionary in this area.
Naturally the same marketing deals regarding profit split will apply here. Once again we look forward to hearing from your response.

VFA-4 "Copperhead" Low-Level Combat Aircraft

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/Dostanuot/VFA-4_Copperhead.png

Origin:
The VFA-4 was designed by Makkah Aeroworks as a private venture following their sucess with the AVT-12. Making use of the main ideas of the AVT-12, the VFA-4 was designed and built almost completely from scratch. Makkah Aeroworks obtained a small number of FAH-2 and FAH-3 attack helicopters of the Sumerian armed forces and used them as the basis of the VFA concept. Extensive testing was done with a stripped down version of the AVT-12, named the RFVA-1, as well as heavily modified FAH-2 and FAH-3 variants fitted with Makkah Aeroworks' lift fan technology, both designated RFVA-2 and RFVA-3 respectivly. After testing of the RFVA-4 for private venture, the Sumerian Marine combat aviators took notice and brought an official order to the project.

Design:
The VFA-4 is designed around a sleek body that is areodynamic, as well as stealthy and hard for enemy gunners to hit. Two large wings provide extra lift in forward flight, as well as two slightly smaller rear wing planes also providing lift. The primary source of power comes from three specially designed for the VFA-4. The primary lift unit is composed of two four stage counter-rotating lift fans designed and manufactured by Makkah Areoworks, each producing 89 kN of thrust, with the ability to vector the output angle to ten degrees vertical from straight back, or fifteen degrees forward from straight down, as measured from the aircraft axis. The two primary lift fans are fixed pointing fifteen degrees upwards inside their armoured housing, so to assist lift, the intake angle can also be adjusted through ninety degrees. Balancing lift is provided by a single 45kN lift fan mounted in an armoured nacell on a special gimble which allows it to rotate almost fully in the vertical axis, and fourty five degrees in either direction on the horizontal. Power is provided to the lift fans from a pair of Mk.5 turboshaft engines mounted atop one another in the tail to keep the aircraft ballanced. The turboshafts enter into two variable output transmissions, one for the primary lift fans, and one for the tail fan, allowing imediate adjustment of the output speed for manouvering. The primary lift transmission is of the dual-variable output type like used on the AVT-12, allowing each of the two forward fans to be controlled independently to adjust the roll of the aircraft.

The VFA-4's armament consists of one ATG-47P 30mm cannon slaved to the gunner's helmet aiming system, with 900 rounds of ammunition carried. The gunner also has at his or her disposal a forward looking infa red, digital optic, and laser package mounted in a forward turret on the nose which is slaved to the gun and allows the gunner to aim and opperate the weapons systems. Six pylons are provided on the wings to hold a number of munitions, including anti tank guided missiles, unguided rockets, or machine gun pods. Air to air missiles may also be carried on wingtip or overwing pylons, as well as specialised radar jamming pods or small rocket pods.

The VFA-4 is sleep, fast, stealthy, and deadly, a combination which allows this craft to be one of the deadliest aircraft on any battlefeild.

To: Kriegzimmer CEO

We understand the pressure placed on the Kriegzimmer reffering to such a large order of battleships, but this time schedule is more than fine with us. Infact, it is rather admirably fast in comparison to our own ship building capbilities in terms of large ships. The Emperor is very pleased with his decision to choose the Kriegzimmer's products for our modernization programme. Hence forth, we offer Kriegzimmer a contract you may consider in your own time once this order is complete.

The Kriegzimmer will recieve $3 trillion dollars a year from our Defence budget if it is willing to have a permanent team of shipbuilders/designers to produce and build both purchased Kriegzimmer products, Kriegzimmer designed ships, and ships the MelekTaus Martime Shipdesign Board may create, solely for the nation of MelekTaus. If it does not have enough personel for this, we are willing to provide people to work with the team to supplement the vacancies. Their wages, training fees incurred to you, transportation fees and other minor issues we can resolve by the MelekTaus Maritime Forces, so no costs will be incurred to you by employing these people in the team should you so choose to accept the contract. This team must be able to produce ships at a slightly faster rate than you currently produce at, and we believe this is do-able since the team will be working solely on MelekTaus projects, rather than being distracted by other tasks.

If you choose to accept this contract, we will however require you to pass tests to prove your ability to suit this private contractor role.

Test 1: Designing a prototype vessel for a role we will set out

Test 2: Producing the ship in time that the Joint Strategic Command and the Commander in Chief Emperor deem acceptable for the ship of the designed size given the team works solely on MelekTaus only items

Test 3: Repairing a pre-damaged ship in a time deemed adequate by the JSC and the Emperor given the damage level

We look forward to further correspondance with you.

OOC: Basically, all this means is that if you accept, when I need to purchase ships, I'll say that I'll be purchasing the ships, and will pay the amount, but will reffer to the fact it'll be built by the Kriegzimmer/MelekTaus team, and thus you just state how long it'll take if built by that team e.c.t. No need for seperate thread, or what not. Plus, I may ask for designs from time to time, but you can produce them in your own free time. I won't push for you to design a product instantly, plus I'm willing to have my nation pay fees for the expenses to the Kriegzimmer/MelekTaus design team. When I want a particular design I've created built, I'll post the info, you can name the price for it to be created by the team. Plus, the amount of money given to you from the annual budget is negotiatable. Don't feel pressured to accept either, it's entirely up to you, but I think it gives a good deal for both of us. You make good money, I get good quality ships tht are built in good time, and it opens the door for plenty of RPing.

[OOC: My admirals and Kriermada High Command would generally view submersible aircraft carriers with disdain, but they do accept the fact that it does have some use in certain cases. Kriegzimmer will attempt to design a SSCVN to the liking of the Kriermada but I'll have to take my time and think about how exactly this thing is going to work.]
By in general, I meant both IC and OOC views.

OOC: I know im piling the designs on you a bit deep right now, but could you produce a sort of scaled down Zealous, with 20" guns inplace of the 30" and a smaller battery of missiles and only one wing of aircraft (72 in my doctrine) as a flagship for smaller independant taskforces

The order has been confirmed, all production rights will be sent immediately through encrypted transmissions to your government. The eighty Ingeriers will be laid down in groups of ten, and the first shall arrive within twenty-one months; the second within twenty-nine months; the third within fifty-two months, and the fourth within sixty months, meaning a total of five years. The sixteen Taníats will arrive within thirty months. Good luck to the Empire.

To: The Socialist Imperial State of MelekTaus
The contract is most enticing, and we fully accept. That said, worker wise what we could do is have Kriegzimmer higher workers from MelekTaus, meaning we will employ another percentage of the population, and with that we have almost a limitless supply of workers should we need faster building times. It would be far easier if MelekTaus allowed an expansion of their own shipyards in MelekTaus proper, which would be completed within thirty-six months, allowing up to fifteen dreadnought keels at any one time. If need be, and should money allow, we could expand this to another fifteen construction pens. In this way there would be dedicated shipyards in MelekTaus to take over production, meaning there would be no shipment time, and they would work solely for MelekTaus.

In any case, we accept any and all tests you send forth, and we are positive that we can come out with outstanding scores. Kriegzimmer thanks you for this wonderfull opportunity you have presented it with.

To: Kriegzimmer Board


Then it is well and good. Following the completion of tests we will outline shortly, then you shall be awarded the contract. A sum of $150 Billion has been earmarked from our Defence budget for the expansion of our ship building facilities to be expanded to the required amount. MelekTaus also fully agrees to the employment of its citizens in this trade, and part of the $3 trillion from the contract amount should easily cover their training costs.

That said, the following tests must be passed before the contract is awarded. You have 2 NS years to accomplish tasks 1-2 (2 RL weeks), and we wish you the best of luck.

Task 1: Design a unique ship that fulfills the following roles:

10 points are gained for every role/requirement fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Maritime Forces Command's satisfaction

The main role: Long Range Strike Missile Ship, with ability to launch Nuclear weaponry at fleets/coastal and inland targets. Something similar to the Kirov class Soviet ship.

Secondary role/s: Ability to engage enemy shipping on a one on one basis, as well as a mild degree of Anti-Aircraft ability and Anti-Missile capabilities.

Primary requirements: Must be capable of mass production
Must be no larger than a standard Dreadnaught sized ship
Must be easy and relatively low cost to maintain
Must need a crew no larger than that of a Dreadnaught sized Vessel (Maximum allowed, about 5,000 all ranks)
Must be MT or very early PMT!

Secondary requirements: May only have a total construction cost of $80 Billion
Must have an annual maintainance cost of less than $10 billion, including purchase of stock
Modular design to enable weapon loadout changes from Nuclear Strike to Ainti-Missile defence roles with ease a bonus!

Task 2: Construct the ship within the following time parametres:

100 points are up for grabs in this task.

Every month taken to construct the vessel in your shipyards loses 10 points from the score. The faster you build, the more points you are left with.

Task 3: Sea Trials

100 points are up for grabs in this test

The finished ship will be manned and crewed by our own personel. The ship will then undergo stringent tests to see its capabilities, that you will be witness to (OOC: Basically, I'll set up a seperate thread for its sea trials, and you get to view and post in it, possibl. controlling 'opponant' weaponry and ships in the battle worthiness tests)

The points will be scored by the board depending on its ability within the tests.

The minimum number of points required to pass: 200 points out of a possible 300.

The moment you agree to these tasks, the time requirement to fulfill tasks 1-2 together will start.

Again, we wish you the very best of luck, and hope you succeed in gaining the contract. Good health, and we look forward to the Sea Trials.

OOC: Mac, when you started Kriegzimmer, its says that you didnt give out production rights, and here we are buying everthings production rights.
And will you still give out discounts to people with factories in thier countries, infact what happens to the factories, do i move in and cease the equipment and designs, and anything being produced there?

Since you are closing, how much would it be for production rights to every single thing you produce here? :D

Tenacious class Cruiser [CN]
The Tenacious class Cruiser is an attempt to avert the final decomissioning of all cruisers in the Kriermada, which are all Seydlitz class Cruisers, one that isn't even produced any longer. The common notion is that the role of the cruiser is being supplemented and even replaced by the destroyer, and the Tenacious was a design attempting to reverse this and provide a ship that a destroyer could not equal. To that effect, since a great multitude of the world's destroyers are still diesel based, the Tenacious is fully nuclear. The Tenacious' role is a battle force role, and the ship is completely Battle Force Capable , while the Tenacious could also partake in Protection of Shipping [PoS] operations. The former defines the ship as a vessel that can operation with a carrier task force without the explicit support of the carrier, while the latter means that it can protect traditional convoys, and can protect amphibious assault groups. To that effect, the Tenacious relies only on its verticle launch systems [VLS], grouped into four blocks of thirty tubes, allowing for a total of one hundred and twenty tubes. These are fitted with any anti-shipping missile the size of, or smaller than, the MN.36.X Sledgehammer II [the X defining that any variant is mission capable]. This gives the cruiser a bristling anti-shipping armament, while its sister class, the Courageous is outfitted with more tubes for smaller, but more, surface to air missiles, providing excellent anti-air warfare support. Nevertheless, because of this specific outfitting, the Tenacious is perfectly capable of defending itself from a battlecruiser at range, and even ships such as super dreadnoughts, as long as advance warning exists, given its long range heavy anti-shipping missiles (the Sledgehammer II). Secondary armaments include six Conhort close-in weapon systems, plugged in through the ship's excellent radar coverage, while the Tenacious also sports four torpedo tubes for the long range Av.36.

The Tenacious also boasts of new technologies, which allow it to be far superior to any other cruiser design. Collision avoidance and automated navigation, with chart tracking and satellite image overlay, come through the Integrated Bridge System , while the ship is computer integrated with the [i]Fiber Optic Ship Wide Area Network [FO SWAN], which uses [b]asynchronous transfer mode [ATM], linking all the ship's weapon systems in a fast, reliable, electronic source. To add to this, the vessel is completely modular, giving it a fast construction time, at a lower cost.

Closing Kriegzimmer Discussion:
Nations with factories in them are probably considered friendly, meaning that they can stilll procure from the government. The factories will be owned by whichever break-up of Kriegzimmer lands with them - Kriegzimmer will turn into an array of smaller armament industries, which will be monitered, although not really controlled by the government. Another reason I want to close Kriegzimmer is because I want to make technological procurement a bit more realistic, meaning less gets shipped.

Official Announcement of the United States of Allanea

As a part of our continued quest to fortify mainland Allanea, and continuing with our realization of the fact that mainland Allanea is the gateway of Greater Prussia, and that therefore it is our duty to invest money, effort, and work into the protection not merely of Allanea itself, but of our Prussian brethren, we would like to contract Kriegzimmer Corporation, as follows, for the following product:

1. For the construction of 1,000 Surface-to-Air defense outsposts carrying the Praetorian missile, on the Allanean shore. These outsposts should be immobile and made of concrete (to replace the original truck mount). We will pay two million dollars per outpost built, or in other word two billion dollars in total.

2. For the construction of 2,000 400mm Coastal Rail Guns on the shores of mainland Allanea, for the total cost of 2.4 billion dollars in total.

3. For the production rights on the G-17 Self-Propelled 254mm mortar, which will henceforth be produced by Allanean Arms, Inc., in an updated 300mm caliber under the designation of “Sowell-6”, Allanean Arms, Inc. (as opposed to the Allanean government) has expressed the desire to pay 20 billion dollars. We are merely relaying their request.

4. We would like to request that you cooperate with DARPA of Allanea on the development of an alternate targeting system for the Shockhound missile in order that it may be used as an anti-ground, and not just an anti-ship missile.

5. We would like to invite Kriegzimmer Corporation to build factories anywhere within our territories, especially in the still-developing states of the Hash and Nmgweni. We remind the Corporation that most Allanean states still have no minimum wage laws, no zoning regulations, and no labor laws to speak of. Most states [list attached] also have no progressive income tax.

TO: Kriegzimmer Board
FROM: Paul David Nettleton, Minister of Defense, United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
SUBJECT: Successor to E-8 JSTARS

Greetings Once Again,

We Southeast Asians have no doubt that the marvelous designers at Kriegzimmer Conglomerates will fail us, especially given the fact that we were impressed by the Ingrerier-class Nuclear Powered Battlecruiser. And I'm sure that the Imperial Air Force has been looking for something else that has been the exact same thing we have been looking for - a multi-role support aircraft for aircraft on the battlefield.

The E-8 Joint STARS (http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/jstars/) is growing old and needs a successor. The airplane's electronics are worn out and the E-8 relies on an ancient frame for service. And it relies on a substance that is harmful to the environment.

So, on the behalf of my nation, I request that Kriegzimmer Conglomerates make a vastly superior JSTARS unit to the E-8. We are willing to fund up to 15,000,000,000 USD for this project, and should the product turn to our liking, we shall put a purchase for unlimited domestic production rights.

Yours Truly,
His Excellency,
Minister of Defense
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
Paul David Nettleton

*bump*

Dear Sir!

Due to the growth of our military budget, we would like to order further items from the Kriegzimmer corporation, as listed below:

40 Ocean-class Helicopter assault ships.
1000 Hyena class tank destroyers.
10,000 SOV-6 class IFV's
10,000 Shalmanesar class APC's.


Production rights for the following weapons and devices:

AAM.176 BVRAAM
AAM.37 AMRAAM
AAM.21 SRAAM
GF11 Archer Tactical Reconnaissance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle


For a total sum of 133.2 billion.

Sincerely yours, the Allanean DoD.

To: The Joint Chiefs of Staff, HailandKill
Yes, technology does tend to be dynamic, and Kriegzimmer adapts well to these changes. In fact, most of our current changes are because of the War of Golden Succession. In any case, the order has been confirmed, and the production rights to all three products have been granted. We're sure that they will do wonders within your military, just as they have in the Kriermada and Ejermacht.

To: Paul David Nettleton, Minister of Defense, United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

We are more than ready to take you up on your offer, and would be not just interested in the JSTARS, but an AWACS variant as well, something the Laerihans and the Kriermada have lacked and have bought from Wellington Defense Industries, ran by Juumanistra. Kriegzimmer is willing to revamp the E-8 and provide something markedly superior. The research and design period will end by mid 2017 [my dates; I don't know what that is on your calendar], and we expect that the new unit, and her sister AWACS, should be completed by late 2017. The first units will roll off the line sometime early 2018, and we're expecting a total of around 223 million Reichmarks for the project, although Kriegzimmer will pick up on the tab that your generous grant doesn't cover. We know UNSEA will be pleased with the result.

To: Allanean, Department of Defense
We're glad that you have returned to Kriegzimmer for your purchases. All production rights have been granted, and the rest of the order has been processed. The forty Ocean class ships will be ready within three to four years, while the Hyenas in a month, the SOV-6s within twelve months, and the Shalmanesars within fifteen months. Thank you for the business.

Harbinger Found Dead!
Dietrich Harbinger was found dead on his bed, this morning, by one of his servants. He has reportedly died of natural causes, and one of the best kept secrets about him is that he had a mature cancer of the liver. He has left no heir in Kriegzimmer, and the government has taken the chance to proclaim the company as an enemy of the state, and therefore not adhering to the rules of absolute capitalism. Kriegzimmer has been transferred to a department of the Fuermak and given independent status from the government, although their role is to serve the government. Thus meaning, there will be a black list and there will be no production rights except to close clients which will be listed. With Harbinger dead, a new era for Kriegzimmer has risen.

RoLu-21.A Boneharvester Attack Helicopter


Introduction
The Boneharvester is an expansion on the RoLu-17.A, in use between 2012 and expected to leave service by 2025, to be fully replaced by the RoLu-21.A and future variants. The design is an all weather attack helicopter, and one of the first to be designed in the region, giving it temporary superiority over neighbors such as SafeHaven2, which participated in the war against His Imperial Majesty Fedor I, and Zarbia, another belligerent to the Empire. Nevertheless, the RoLu-21.A reaches far more than regional influence, and as promised by a contract with the Izistani air force and land forces, and in light of Izistani cooperation with the Fuermak and Ejermacht in the design, as well as considerable Izistani monetary reinforcement, the Fuermak has also fulfilled a contract of fifty Boneharvesters within the next two years. The right to increase the order has been given, as well as the right to produce the helicopter at home factories. That said, the RoLu-21 is a cooperative project between the two countries, and the result has been successful. As mentioned before the new attack chopper will work in cooperation with the RoLu-17 Galicia until these latter rotary aircraft are phased out, while the Boneharvester will be participating in tandem with the Isselmere-Nielander Sparrow HA.1, a long serving design in the Izistani armed forces. Within the Ejermacht, and perhaps even the Laerihans, the RoLu-21 faces a long life, and is planned to be in use until 2030, with its service beginning April 2017.

Power Plant Technology
The Boneharvester uses a five-bladed 'scissor' main rotor, suggested for its low noise signature, tilted at around 10 degrees and -190 degrees depending on the perspective. The control linkages for each of the five main rotor blades run inside the driveshaft, reducing the rotor's radar signature. All gearboxes and associated systems are designed to run for at least thirty minutes following the loss of all lubricating oil. The rotors are constructed for their agility, light weight, but most of all, for their protection, and are fabricated out of an aluminum-titanium alloy, giving the main rotor limited protection against 12.7mm [.50 cal] rounds. The rear rotor is a scissor-type four-blade tail rotor, rather than the conventional three-blade conventional type, adding to the idea and goal of a low noise signature. This is atypicall to other helicopter designs which use the three-blade conventional tail rotor concept, and from the A.129 Mangusta, which sacrifices noise signature for greater protection. The tail rotor of the 21.A cannot survive the impact of a 12.7mm round for a great extent. They are constructed from an aluminum honeycomb with a stainless steel skin and leading edge.

The concept has two heavily armoured turboshaft engines and fuel tanks, protected by a light ceramic armour encased in two lightweight steel plates, protecting against armour piercing rounds from small rounds and low lethality burst weapons. The engines are placed on the high end on either side of the fuselage, making them less vulnerable to ground fire, while it's less likely that a single hit would disable both powerplants, and they are fully self-sealing. The two engine design is also a safer option for long overwater operations - first taken into consideration during the release of the AH-1 Cobra.

Lethality
The stub pylons on either side of the frame hold with an eight-rod rocket launcher, designed to hold the Icycle MN.12.B fire and forget anti-tank missile, which disperse a series of up to twenty submunitions carrying self-forged projectile warheads, designed for a top-attack mission. The Icycle MN.12.A, although slightly larger, proved successful in use over Yurka, knocking out vehicles during a pre-operation flight of the Valkyrie Unmanned Aerial Combat Vehicle, designed as a replacement to the manned A-10 Warthog. On either extreme the 21.A holds two AAM.21.B SRAAMs, making the Boneharvester a helicopter hunter as well. When it's out of missiles, the Boneharvester can be rearmed in minutes by a well-drilled ground team. The MN.21.B missiles are prepacked in their launch tubes and are strapped straight onto the helicopter. The two outer air to air missiles are replaced by a fifty rocket rotary launcher on each stub pylon on the 21.B, offering the potential for ground saturation missions.

Underneath the nose of the aircraft all variants hold a 30mm triple barreled chaingun, traversing on both the horizontal and vertical axis, giving the gun the potential to readjust without the helicopter having to do the adjusting for it. The undercarriage gun has a rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute, although each burst is limited to just thirty rounds. The turret can swing through 110 degrees on either side of the nose, and can depreciate considerably, as opposed to earlier designs. The gun fires both high explosive and armour piercing rounds, and it holds four hundred rounds in a bin over the turret, which is protected by moderately thicker armour.

Crew and Survivability
Using the step cockpit, the Boneharvester seats two in tandem, allowing the pilot to be in the rear cockpit, stting high up so he can get a good all-around view over the head of the gunner, who sits in the front seat. The gunner has a commanding view of the battlefield and has night-vision sights to help him fire the weapons. The crew compartments are protected by titanium and ceramic armour, while the glass transparencies are also armoured and are all flat panes. Upon a fatal injury the crew is able to escape by jettisonin the doors and wings. An inflatable cushion or shoot is then deployed below the door sill, allowing the crew to roll out sideways and bounce over the landing gear. Energy absorbing gears and seats protect the crew in a hard fall, allowing them to survive a twenty meter vertical fall. At the crew's disposal is a plethora of multi-function displays, and an integrated helmet display sight system.

The helicopter is armoured by a ceramic composite-infused system, covered by a film of titanium to maximize the potential of the ceramics. The helicopter can survive 12.7mm hits and 20mm shards. The crew compartment panels are thicker than many other parts of the aircraft, as well as the fuselage and engines. The Boneharvester is designed for utmost survivability in battle. To the rear, but aft of the rear undercarriage, the crew can make use of a chaff and flare dispenser, while the design concept itself is purposed towards low probability of intercept within the context of opposing radar, including thin films of gloss to reflect electromagnetic beams at a different angle, or give false returns.

Grospek class Heavy Guided Battlecruiser [BCGN]

The Grospek ship is designed to preform just the opposite of the Ingerier, being fitted with a larger verticle launch system, with wider and longer tubes, for the capability of launching the Sledgehammer II, a heavy anti-ship missile designed with special regards to super dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts. In fact, the Grospek uses three key design principles to attain the edge in such a battle: velocity, range and countermeasures. Due to the light armour of a battlecarrier, the Grospek at first sight is not substantially adept at engaging larger, more armoured, larger armed shipping, and on in a gunfight the Grospek would not be expected to return alive. For this reason specifically, it's designed to carry the missiles it proudly shows off - the Sledgehammer II. This latter missile is a huge anti-shipping missile, capped with a steel penetrator, designed to arc up and in parabolic fashion crash into the decks of super dreadnoughts and other ships. Height of the arc depends on the ship and whether or not the missile can make it in time with the current slope, but in every engagement it operates in a similar fashion. The missile capitalizes on acceleration due to gravity and its own massive ducted ramjet engine. In any case, the two make a perfect match and this most solemn wedding of knight with sword debuted on March 2020, when the HES Grospek set sail.

The armament includes four blocks of forty verticle launch tubes, equipped with the Sledgehammer II, and a fifth block of forty tubes carrying three P.746.F surface to air missile each. Aft there's two more blocks of forty tubes each carrying the Sledgehammer II, making the ship's entire missile inventory equal to two hundred Sledgehammer IIs and one hundred and twenty surface to air missiles. A conveyor delivers another two surface to air missiles per tube, and one Sledgehammer per tube, meaning the ship carries a total of four hundred anti-shipping missiles and two hundred and forty surface to air missiles. Additionally, there are eight dual purpose 127mm turrets, although they act mostly as air defense cannons, firing CAPMES rounds. Six deck launchers fire the smaller P.746.B missile for short range engagements, while there are eight close-in weapon mounts. Other than that, the Grospek carries one unmanned aerial vehicle for reconnaissance, as well as a LAMPS type helicopter [most likely the Sea Serpent II] as an advance warning flight and reconnaissance, as well as for anti-submarine operations. In that respect, the Grospek also fields two hedgehog munition devices and four torpedo tubes designed to carry the Av.36, and changes for three per tube, meaning a total of twelve torpedoes. The torpedo tubes feature an armoured cover, much as on the Deutschland BC. Nonetheless, her primary features rely on range and the ability to produce quite a bit of firepower at this range.

We're glad you have returned, and we apologize for the new production rights decision and position, but it is a position the new board has decided to take. The two thousand Panzerwerfers will be ready within four months, as well as with the Praetorian IIs and the Incinérateurs. We are currently going through offering production rights to the Greater Prussian Empire, especially as the army is mostly armed with Kriegzimmer products. If the decision comes out positive, the nations of the GPE will have their names listed on the guest list. In any case, thank you for yet another order from Kriegzimmer.

Pacitalia class Galleon

Abstract: After the Battle of Targul Frumos the weaknesses of the Kriermada were highlighted with the near catastrophe, which was only saved by the unexpected disengagement of the Havenic fleet, and by the sudden arrival of Admiral Durgstaden von Laifsraggen. Neverthless, the War of Golden Succession open gaping wounds in national prestige, and as a result Fedor I ordered an ambitious naval expansion program, which coupled with the eventual victory at Targul Frumos, would give the message that the Empire was yet to be regarded as a naval power, and a match for any other on the high seas. Although the program mostly focused on much need shipping, such as the Ingerier class Battlecruiser, and an array of new battleships and escort vessels, it also produced much more luxurious and inspiring men of war, and the first of these would be the Pacitalia, the wonderous compliment to the Argentine class Galleon. The Pacitalia is the Argentine, with new hull protection construction, along with more large guns, and lesser 'medium' guns, giving it a very destructive potential. All in all, she is one of the largest ships within service, surpassing both the Zealous class Super Dreadnought, and the Argentine, and providing as a whole more tonnelage than her two counterparts as well - however, she is rivalled by other newer super dreadnoughts being designed for service in the Kriermada. The Pacitalia is the very first naval ship designed by the Kriermada itself, not by Kriegzimmer. The first Pacitalia was built late in the war and officially comissioned after it, having her maiden voyage to the nation of Pacitalia itself in an attempt to heal diplomatic wounds established during the Space Union economic crisis, and Pacitalia's staunch resistance against the growth of absolute capitalism.

Hull Protection: The type of rounds faced during a naval battle mostly center around the armour piercing projectile, which is a high explosive round with a piercing cap, allowing the gun to tear through enemy protection and then explode, damaging everything inside it. That said, the Pacitalia tries to maximize technology in order to further protection against such threats, as well as missile threats, and it rivals the armour ratings on any other ship near its class. The overlying layer of armour is a composite made of a high strength construction steel known as "D-Steel", reinforced by fibres of manganese which work to bond with sulfur atoms, which would otherwise soften the steel. Aside from the manganese, the steel layer is also reinforced with vanadium threads adding hardness to the armour. The top layer, along with another layer under it, sandwhich a thicker layer of compressionable ceramics, which are also split into two groups, with depleted uranium rods forming a web of intercrossing bars, providing much needed resistance force. Under it all is a thin layer of aerogel with high heat capacity, aiding the top armour to not warp under extremely high temperatures, which can be threat during penetration. This is backed by a base plate, which channels explosives to a less critical area. All of this is backed up by a series of shipwide bulkheads, especially underneath the waterline. The beltline has a real thickness of 1,370mm, while the turret faceplates have near 1,437mm of armour, and the main turrets boasting 1,050mm. The deck is layered with 870mm and the superstructure with 850; and finally the bulkheads provide near 900mm of protection. Actual equivalent armour ratings are classified although depending on the sloping and the type of armament inbound it can provide anywhere from 2 to 8 times the protection of its actual thickness.

Armament: Given its longer hull than the Argentine, the Pacitalia drops the secondary 18" guns and simply puts more larger guns. In fact, there are five turrets aft of the ship, and four turrets behind the tower, meaning there are a total of nine main turrets, each boasting quad 25" guns, giving the Pacitalia a total number of thirty-six 25" guns, which is simply massive, although the turrets are nevertheless very vulnerable. The 25" guns use an electrical switch in order to propell a plasma ignitor, which in turns ignites a chemical fuze for a liquid propellant, giving the guns a lot of power, although limiting life to around 800 shots. To increase barrel life the insides of the guns are plated with chromium, making it much more resistance to the pressure of the propellant. The longer dimensions of the ship are due to the inclusion of verticle launch system blocks, including four 40 cell blocks fitted with three P.746.F each, and six 40 cell blocks fitted with two Sledgehammer II anti-shipping missiles. A conveyor belt can feed another three Praetorians and two Sledgehammers if necessary. For fleet protection there are also twenty, ten on each side, twenty cell deck surface to air missile launchers carrying the P.746.B short range surface to air missiles. Finally, the Pacitalia has a point defense array of twenty-six Conhort close-in weapon systems, and fourteen underwater ASHUM arrays.

Following the approval of the plan to convert all remaining Argentine Class Galleons in the fleet into Armoured SuperCarriers, the miltiary aquisistion commit has authorised me to place an order for 6 (Six) Pactilia Class Galleons to replace the Argentines that will be retired.

During the week inwhich the last of the Confederate Air Forces AT/GA-1 Sandstorm Ground Attack Squadrons is to be taken off of active service, the Confederate Government, and the men who flew them through so many conflicts, would like to thank the design staff at Golden Luftwaffe Industries for designing such a brilliant Aeroplane.

From: Imperial McKagan Naval Service
Subject:

In the recent months McKagan hasn't ordered your naval products due to a massive increase in the quality of our own domestic designs. Avalt Systems Inc. has provided us with a new class of cruiser that fills the place between frigate and destroyer perfectly.

Our navy, however, lacks big guns - especially those used to disable or hold back Super Dreadnaughts. Our fleet does have several Super Dreadnaughts but we'd rather exploit their sheer size to use as floating airbases that no one can even dream of disrupting without great effort - not fighting other Super Dreadnaughts.

To cut through the rest of the long email - we're looking to replace our old SD killers with a new fleet of 10 Pacitalia Class Galleon's. The final price for this comes to 2252.5 Billion USD.

It is not a rush order and we do not require these units in the immediate future.

To: Field Marshall E.F. Williamson CMOH DSO, Spizania
We're glad that the Confederate Air Forces found the 'Sandstorm' as a 'brilliant' aircraft, and we're doubly glad that its racking up such a wonderful preformance in your armed forces. Apart from that, the conversion of Argentines into larger carriers is also rather interesting, and we may do something with the eight Argentines the Kriermada fields, although the Fuermak has not made its decision on the future of the Kriermada's older ships just yet. In any case, your newest order has been confirmed, and each ship will take about three years to complete. However, the six keels will be laid simultanuously, or abouts, meaning the entire order should be completed within four years. We thank the Confederacy for its business.

[OOC: H&K, yes we can assume there was a transfer to you for production rights. And the battlecruiser would serve a totally different role; at least in my perspective. I would use it for surface raiding, and that was what the Ingerier was designed for. The Grospek is designed as a fast surface raider to strike large shipping, including super dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts.]

To: Imperial McKagan Naval Service
Kriegzimmer is partly glad to hear about the progress of quality of indegenous products in McKagan, knowing full well that Kriegzimmer traffic will invariably drop. But nevertheless, it's great news to hear that McKagan's navy is having a fruitful period of naval design. Your decision on how to use Super Dreadnoughts is an interesting decision, and it certainly makes sense when taking into consideration several aspects. That said, we would be glad to replace older super dreadnought 'killers' with the Pacitalia class, and each ship will require three long years of construction. Nevertheless, we can lay the ships down simultanuously, meaning the first five will be completed within three years, with the other five within five years. Nevertheless, the ships are well worth the wait - especially considering their massive and plentiful guns. We're glad that McKagan came to Kriegzimmer for its bombardment pleasures, and we thank the nation and her people for the order.

Feathermore class Super Dreadnought [SD]

The HES Feathermore was commissioned into the Kriermada in 2016 as the largest ship the Kriermada had seen since then, outclassing the Zealous and Argentine. In fact, it rivalled such vessels such as the Questerian Prince of Wales, and it would be larger than any Havenic ship during the war. It was one of the Kriermada's secret projects, laid down in 2013, and begun much before that. It sailed after the Battle of Targul Frumos and it would see action against Independent Hitmen and Stevidian shipping. The Feathermore was followed by the Wilson and by the Tenderneck, and would form an independent heavy strike group, as long as with ther two sister ships, forming a very powerful trio by 2020. The class name was derived from a naval action of the year 2016 against a Malatosian navy which was poised to invade the mainland of the Empire by late June. The incident claimed the lives of three Morsky-Orol Light Cruisers to a nuclear warhead, and for some reason, however, it persuaded Malatose that it was simply not worth to invade the Empire, blocking them from entrance into the bloody War of Golden Succession. The Feathermore was named that same year in honor of those that died at the Raid at Feathmore's Trench, and she was prepared so that something of the like could never happen again. With her bristling armament and wonderful array of missiles the Feathermore represents a class that portrays power, death, and gallantry. Following other modern naval ships that have entered service with the Kriermada, the Feathermore is a monohull type ship, deciding to carry her splendor in a more orthodox manner. Nevertheless, she displays the most advance fire and control mechanisms and laser warning systems, and despite her size, she presents herself as a valuable asset to any naval force.

Her armament is no less than eight turrets of quadruple 711mm [28"] electromagnetically accelerated cannons, providing for a total of thirty-two guns, giving the Feathermore an impressive force. For dual purpose work, especially anti-air artillery, she boasts eight turrets on each side of triple mount 152mm [6"] cannons. The main guns are constructed from a stronger, atomized, chrome and steel alloy, giving them a longer life, while the great length is supported from the bottom by a steel parallel support bar, which arcs to support itself against the turret body itself. To the center of the ship is the vast verticle launch system, providing for six blocks of sixty tubes, arrayed six by ten, and the blocks lain side by side. Each block is protected by outcropping rolled steel guards, which protect against shrapnel, providing for some sort of method of attempting to stop the hatches from jamming each time a shell explodes nearby. These three hundred and sixty verticle launch tubes carry two Sledgehammer II anti-shipping missiles, or can carry two Principes. To the rear of the ship there are four more blocks of sixty tubes carrying two P.746.F ultra long range ship to air missiles, providing for a long range air defense. An underdeck conveyor system can dispatch another three missiles per tubes, and can be reloaded at sea. On the decks, the ship boasts a shorter range air defense system, shining a total of twenty launchers of the P.746.B surface to air missile. For a close-in weapon system network, the Feathermore has a total of sixty Conhort II CIWS mounts.

Armour wise the Feathermore protects herself through a primary layer of vanadium, hardened steel, softer steel, rolled homogenous steel, reinforcements of aluminum, manganese, and a bonding of other materials designed to maximize strength per density and mass, while minimizing weight. The ship also has a number of bulkheads to reduce the damage done by exploding projectiles, while it makes use of the widely respected honeycomb network design. Her armour can take damage from her own guns with a limit, however, she is made to survive and for good reason; her costs may not make her the effort. However, not to be caught and infected by the golden ship syndrome, the admirals of the Kriermada are intent on launching the ship to sea, to see action in the eastern waters, hoping to seek out and successfully destroy or chase away enemy fleets. The Feathermore will also provide a welcome addition to the Kriermada's heavy hitters, especially after the losses taken at Targul Frumos.

The Democratic States of the Currituck is interested in the purchase of 1 Mechanized Infantry package. Further orders may follow as our great nation grows.

To: President B. Fowler, Democratic States of the Currituck
First off, welcome to Kriegzimmer, we notice this is your first time ordering from our catalogue. How did you find the ordnance offered, and is there anything we could add to it? In any case, your order has been confirmed and the sole mechanized package will arrive within ~three months. We thank you for your business, and we will answer, to the best of our ability, any questions you may have.

[signed]Kriegzimmer Board

Thank you for your kind words. We located your shop by surfing through various storefronts. We found your catalogue to be well written and informative in regards to the various equipment you have for sale. Orders were placed through your catalogue, as well as 2 others to supply some patrol vessels, a destroyer and armored vehicles (MBTs, IFVs, and APCs). We are however in need of an inexpensive, yet effective aircraft for defensive purposes. We held off on ordering any aircraft as we were unsure of the credit line available to such a new nation as our own, and we purposely made sure to order ships and armored vehicles with SAM capabilities.

We did take note of the GLI-76 VTOL dual-role fighters. These would seem ideal as a 'starter' to our air arm as they have excellent speed (so we wouldn't have to purchase a huge number) and we only have a single airfield at this time. VTOL would allow us to distribute them around the countryside without the need for a landing strip per se, giving us the maximum flexibility. If the credit is available, we would gladly place an order for an even dozen of this aircraft. We would also of course need a supply of compatible armaments to arm the airframes with, preferably AAM.176 BVRAAMs, AAM.37 AMRAAMs, GUH.212.A JASSMs, and RIC.617.A JDAMs.

Any suggestions or alterations you may have would be greatly appreciated and given our most serious consideration.

President B. Fowler
Democratic States of the Currituck

To: President B. Fowler, Democratic States of the Currituck
Unfortunately, you are absolutely correct. There is little availability of cheaper, and perhaps even older, aircraft, meaning that smaller nations, unwilling to put forth the funding for an airforce full of overpriced and overengineered birds, have a very small market to choose from. Kriegzimmer, we admit, is one of the criminals that fails to provide a cheaper aircraft, and this will certainly change as Kriegzimmer begins to design older generation military goods, to be released in another catalogue under the projected name of 'Dienstadi Military Procurement and Trade'. Nevertheless, this is not in the near future and it will take some time to organize and such. Regardless, we understand the issues you face, and the GLI-76 is certainly a nice and plausible alternative to aircraft such as the Lu-45 Hawk and alternatives at other catalogues. I don't believe that the JASSM or the JDAM have been released as possible purchases in this catalogue, but it will most certainly make its presence soon, along with the complimenting of a series of other newer generation missiles and similar ordnance.

In any case, it is very possible that Kriegzimmer supply Currituck with a dozen GLI-76s. Although manufacturing time would be rather short, shipping time would put the order completion time of arrival at around a month. This can be shortened if we simply supply Currituck with an already existant squadron of the aircraft, used in the Laerihans, for the purpose of near immediate testing and such. In the end, your nation would be supplied with a much more reliable aircraft, albeit not spanking new. Nevertheless, they are maintained to the quality prerequisite of the Laerihans, which is atrociously high, and so should score high marks in any test undergone. To offer the best of impressions Kriegzimmer will supply one of the newer squadrons of GLI-76s in the next two weeks, and in that manner Currituck can conduct whatever testing it needs to persuade for further orders as fast as possible.

As per suggestions, this is very little Kriegzimmer can suggest at this point. We much rather have our client shape its military around its own doctrines, not ours, since no two militaries can share the same doctrines; it is simply against nature's laws. In any case, we hope to see you return, and thank you for the business.

We are more than ready to take you up on your offer, and would be not just interested in the JSTARS, but an AWACS variant as well, something the Laerihans and the Kriermada have lacked and have bought from Wellington Defense Industries, ran by Juumanistra. Kriegzimmer is willing to revamp the E-8 and provide something markedly superior. The research and design period will end by mid 2017 [my dates; I don't know what that is on your calendar], and we expect that the new unit, and her sister AWACS, should be completed by late 2017. The first units will roll off the line sometime early 2018, and we're expecting a total of around 223 million Reichmarks for the project, although Kriegzimmer will pick up on the tab that your generous grant doesn't cover. We know UNSEA will be pleased with the result.

Harbinger Found Dead!
Dietrich Harbinger was found dead on his bed, this morning, by one of his servants. He has reportedly died of natural causes, and one of the best kept secrets about him is that he had a mature cancer of the liver. He has left no heir in Kriegzimmer, and the government has taken the chance to proclaim the company as an enemy of the state, and therefore not adhering to the rules of absolute capitalism. Kriegzimmer has been transferred to a department of the Fuermak and given independent status from the government, although their role is to serve the government. Thus meaning, there will be a black list and there will be no production rights except to close clients which will be listed. With Harbinger dead, a new era for Kriegzimmer has risen.
[OOC: Mac, on the date thing - I'm set in the 2030-2040 era, but the reason why I use late modern tech (2015-2020) is supposed to be somewhat of a joke when you see through it. The joke is, my nation's first Prime Minister wanted the Union to be a well developed economically nation with lots of civil liberties and political freedoms, much like the United States of America, but given the fact that NS reality has economies that make the US economy look primitive and weak in comparison, so even though my leader did get what he wanted, a rich and prosperous nation with deverse cultures and a faith in tolerance and peace, the USNSEA is still a small fry in the NS world. Oh, and why did you change your mind on the Revelations rp?]

[OOC: I really didn't want to get into a full fledge role play sorrounding the future of Kriegzimmer and economic terrorism. In any case, I can still go ahead with Relevations and simply make it so that its past tense up until the point Deitrich dies of his 'cancer', and then continue from there. I think I'll do that. And I'll get onto the aircraft design immediately and it will be the next product to be released, I'm just itching to get started on the fourth battlecruiser, which will be plenty fast. :) ]

GLI-44 Blackjester Intelligence, Reconnaissance and Battlefield Control Aircraft

Historical Background: The Blackjester is built upon the needs of two nations, the Second Empire of the Golden Throne [SEoGT] and Southeast Asia, compounding the interests of both militaries into one superb ELINT bird. The Empire's history of ELINT aircraft began during the late years of the Great Civil War and the introduction of the Gull, a rudimentary, but solid design, providing for excellent coverage of both the ground war and the naval war, boasting of two seperate variants [ELINT & AWACS]. In 2011 the Gull was largely replaced by the better and more versatile No-34Z Loki and the Fu-47 Starlight, the former being a two engine AWACS missile fighter and the latter being a four engine AWACS aircraft. About a fifty of the Starlights saw a private refit into ELINT aircraft for the Laerihans' purposes. Both planes were purchased from Wellington International Defense Solutions [WINDS], an elite conglomeration focusing on aerospace technology. Despite the order of around nine hundred aircraft total it was found during the War of Golden Succession that not enough planes were in service to cover the ground war in at least four seperate fronts and then project aerial AWACS to protect fleets that were travelling beyond the coasts of the Empire. That said, older Gulls had to be provided to many areas, and even the relatively well supplied and equipped mechanized expeditionary force sent to the Juumanistran colony in Skiberdeenia had nothing more than Gulls to provide overhead ELINT [as well as Juumanistran aircraft]. In any case, with the Empire unwillingness to return to WINDS for more aircraft, it was obvious that an indegenous project was completely necessary for the future of the Laerihans and Kriermada.

In 2016, Southeast Asian procurement agents were received at Kriegzimmer, requesting an expansion and successor to the JSTARS, an American ELINT aircraft design which would provide one of the many examples to base the Blackjester on. The need for a newer system in the Southeast Asian Air Force put the Empire and Southeast Asia on a collision course for what would emerge as an international contract to Kriegzimmer, with many national funds. Furthermore, with the death of Harbinger and the establishment of a new board which had a much more loyal allegiance to the Golden Throne, it was only a matter of time in which Fedala pushed Kriegzimmer to take the project, if not for Southeast Asia, but for the Empire itself. Regardless of the case, the contract was accepted immediately, allowing research and design to persist well into 2019 and 2020, seeing the first prototype for MOD 1 testing released in early 2021, and then mass production beginning in late 2021 after a MOD 2 test deemed the system as acceptable for combat. By the time the aircraft saw mass production it would have design applications borrowed from JSTARS, and even the Globalhawk, but it would also see a vast array of indegenous technologies, including newer synthetic aperture arrays and more powerful computers, with better equipment to keep control of the ground battle.

The Aircraft: The GLI-44 is a large aircraft with a length of ~48 meters, and a wingspan of ~44 meters, providing for substantial volume as to support the array of sensor equipment introduced with the Blackjester. The majority of the airframe is constructed from an aluminum-yttrium-nickel alloy, strengthened through high-pressure gas atomization, which would give it more amorphous characteristics, making it stronger and reducing weight. Consequently, as compared to JSTARS and alternative designs, the IRBC is actually much lighter. The partly amorphous, and the partly crystalline material would reportedly give the alloy both better strength characteristics and higher ductility, which reduces the unwanted characteristics and disadvantages of amorphous alloys. The leading edge of the aircraft and the trailing edge is composed out of a fibreglass epoxy, with the fixed trailing edge being constructed out of a fibreglass-polymide. The core of the aircraft, although built mostly out of the new aluminum alloy, is layered with a relatively thin amount of carbo-epoxy to increase structural stability in the face of fatigue and creep. All in all, the Blackjester is an incredibly light aircraft for its size, keeping the strength of its airframe, but reducing it in undesirable effects.

The entire plane is propelled by a four engined powerplant, using four low bypass turbofans providing ~40,000 pounds of thrust per engine. Each turbofan uses a ceramic blisk, again increasing strength, while decreasing weight. Furthermore, the intergrally bladed rotor would increase aerodynamic effeciency, while the specific construction of the blisk used on the GLI-44 IRBC would increase life, thereby decreasing maintenance costs and improving effeciency over time - the blisk would also increase the amount of modulation, making it cheaper to replace the unit.

Electronics:
The principle feature of the GLI-44 Blackjester IRBC is the large [i]multi-platform insertion system MP-RTIS dual synthetic aperture radar [SAR] and ground movement indicator [GMTI], as compared to other ELINT aircraft which have to switch modes during flight. The MP-RTIS is fed through a modular scalable antenna which provides transmissions through X-band, offering improved resolution on stealth missiles and the like. The aircraft also displays a dorsal active electronically scanned array [AESA] aperture to provide for AWACS duties, making the Blackjester a multipurpose aircraft that can deal with both ground warfare and naval warfare, meaning it would replace the necessity for a larger series of aircraft, making it cheaper to equip one's airforce and navy. This AESA aperture also includes an air moving target indicator [AMTI]. That said, in the RADAR section the GLI-44 ends with an eleven meter diameter rotodome, mounted ~three meters from the fuselage and is ~two and a half meters thick. Finally, as for sensor electronics, the Blackjester is equipped with a single unit laser detection and ranging [LADAR] system, boasting both a foward and side looking three-prong heterodyne transceiver, and a down-looking guassian receiver, providing for more accurate displays of the scenario both on the ground and in the air, as well as for moving aerial targets underneath the aircraft.

For communications the GLI-44 is fixed with a tactical common data link [TCDL], as well as the usual radio communications and interphones. The TCDL ensures constant and uninterrupted communications between seperate flights, ground control, and even satellite databursts, meaning it provides an integrated electronic communications network, allowing for a greater degree of cooperation between different arms and different aircraft. The aircraft's entire systems are controlled through an electronics system center [ESC], which can do ~800 processes per second, replacing copper with fibre optics and using high capacity compulsators to store more energy per meter³, and thus allowing more powerful computers, especially with the introduction of better superconductors and high capacity chips, as well as more effecient coolants.

From: Imperial McKagan Naval Service

We've noted the addition of a new, massive Super Dreadnaught to your catalogue. Without question it will be amongst one of the most dominant vessels on the sea with any nation fielding it. More importantly to note for this purchase is that any nation NOT having one is at a distinct disadvantage against a nation that does - this is more of an investment at eliminating a disadvantage in the future. To cut through a full page of lengthy and boring reasons why a navy wants to buy a ship with 32 28" guns - we'd like to confirm our wish to purchase this vessel. The 445.4 billion USD will be transfered upon confirmation on your end of the contract.

OOC: Erm Mac, aren't "knots" meant to be for vessels?

[OOC: I just posted my brains out, so I don't feel like doing an IC thing over one product order. So yeah, I need the production rights to the feathermore superdreadnought. I have a ginormous military budget so we can assume the money was transferred, and since I am the only one to currently go to war with you I get the production rights no problem.

Oh, and is the new intel bird like an AWACS?]

OOC: H&K, it was based off this RL jet (http://www.globalsecurity.org/intell/systems/jstars.htm).

[OOC: Good lord thats a great idea, and it has got to be a great plane. Mac, add those production rights to my order as well.

SEA, you are still going to continue in the extermination thread right? If so, get on it, I am dying of curiosity to see how your nation reacts.]

Hello,
We are interested in purchasing 100 Samson Battlesuits for $5 Million dollars.

Regards,

Strategos Sharp

[OOC:SEA, since it's both an ELINT aircraft and an AWACS bird you can measure the velocity in knots; in fact, AFAIK, a lot of aircraft's velocities are measured in knots, especially if they are carrier based, and both Larry Bond and Tom Clancy always measure velocities of aircraft in their books in knots - the last I remember was Larry Bond measuring the velocity of a Polish F-15 over Western Poland in knots. H&K, the dorsal mounted AESA, and to a lesser extent the massive LADAR arrays, are meant for AWACS. The aircraft is triple purpose - it's an all in one wonder. And, finally, OOC conformation on both of the orders. :)]

To: Imperial McKagan Naval Service
Yes, the Feathermore class Super Dreadnought is quite the ship - large and beautiful, and her guns present her with a keen advantage over other super dreadnoughts. The more guns, the better. However, we would suggest to avoid firing all eight turrets at the same time for prolonged periods of time - roll of the ship might be a problem with successive recoil of the cannons. In any case, she is sure to give you an advantage in any naval battle. The order, of course, has been confirmed and she will be laid down immediately and ready within three and a half years - but she is well worth the wait, good sirs. Thank you for your business, and we guarantee that you will be most pleased with the Feathermore.

Official United States Government Order Form

Dear friends!

We wish to purchase the following items:

A single Feathermore-class dreadnought for 420 billion USD (post-allied discount).

Sincerely yours,

Your friends at the United States Department of the Navy

To: United States Department of the Navy, Allanea
Welcome back, once again, ally. How goes the Greater Prussian Empire [and on that note, do you have a link to the forum?], and how goes happenings in Allanea herself? In any case, the order, of course, has been confirmed and we will confirm the alliance discout, despite the fact that we meant for that to be cancelled for the time being - nevertheless, our catalogue continued to express an allied discount, and so because of the fact it was our fault we will give it to you. That said, the Feathermore will be laid down immediately, alongside another one being built for McKagan at the moment and will be commissioned into your navy within three years. As we told our clients in McKagan, the ship is well worth the wait. Just as well, the ship can take a full broadside, however, continuous fire might roll the ship and so we warn you against that possibility - meaning, the best form of action would be to alternate turrets - while four fire, another four reload, and then fire in alternation, and thus reducing the total recoil taken at any one time. The turrets are made bulkier while each individual cannon is spaced out more, but the effects of thirty-two 28" guns can still be harmful - the Feathermore has never been tested undergoing a full broadside. In any case, thank you for the business you have brought Kriegzimmer.

[OOC: I can actually answer that since me and Mac had this discussion when we designed the Falcon. GLI, and Lu are two different manufactures of planes. They were both rolled into one one major company, but produce planes separatly. I dont remember the exact acronyms of the companies, so he could answer that.]

GF15 Valkyrie Anti-Armour Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle


http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/3369/icyclefin4lo.gif


The GF15 Valkyrie UCAV is meant primarily for the anti-armour role, replacing the bulkier and larger anti-armour aircraft such as the A-10 Warthog and other variations. The purpose of this low flying aerodyne would be to provide tactical anti-armour support for friendly units below, and for that reason the Valkyrie is outfitted with a large stock of specially designed munitions [the Icycle, which is explained below]. With the union of Juumanistran technology, offered through the Wellington International Defense Solutions [WINDS] catalogue, and Macabee expertise, given through the Kriegzimmer Conglomeration, the GF15 Valkyrie Anti-Armour UCAV promises to be a very successful and a very lethal alternate to the tank busters of today's air forces and armies. For the most part the Valkyrie is an original piece, borrowing some aspects, including its avionics, from the Juumanistran Do-4 Razorback UCAV [which serves the same purpose through different means] and other parts from the GF11 Archer, the Kriegzimmer reconnaissance UAV that has been successful in selling itself world wide. Nevertheless, the array of original systems makes the UCAV a species within itself. To that effect, the GF15 offers a long list of newer sensor equipment, avionic suites, and the effective Icycle minimissile, giving its user a weapon with much potential, lethality and with the final and added advantage of suprise.

This latter attribute is achieved through an extremely quiet electrical engine. The power plant sacrifices flight time and velocity for the low noise output and extremely low infra-red signature it developes, which is further denies through the use of lightweight coolant injectors along the shaft to the turboprop and the rear of the turboprop itself [where turboprop and shaft meet] which act as infra-red suppresants. The major difference between the electrical engine of the Archer and that of the Valkyrie is that the battery and compulsator offers the mechanical energy need to turn the shaft, not the energy required to compress air coming through intakes. Further 'stealth' is achieved through the use of MOPETA, which was introduced with the GF11 Archer UAV. MOPETA refers to the materials used for construction of the airframe. In short, it's a union between acrylic, glass and polycarbonates, which are all radar transparent, with an infused aluminum-titanium alloy matrix as a substructure, weaving together the different components of MOPETA. This is laminated with two polymers, vinyl and urethane, to offer the final product. MOPETA is modular and is applied through appliqué slabs, making them easy to replace during maintenance, and said maintenance cheaper. A gram of MOPETA is sold commercially for ~700 Reichmarks a gram.

Communications is provided by Kriegzimmer, offering the same type of communication data links as the GF11 Archer, including global positioning system localization, UHF encrypted radio bands, Ku Frequency radio bands and C-band. The sensors were provided by Kriegzimmer, with the exception of the Falchion advanced ground-attack non-visible light array, which provides omnidirectional sensor abilities. The entire Avionics suit was provided by WINDS, including the independent and private operating system known as LATURN. Nevertheless, the avionics suite gives the Valkyrie an understated advantage of great control and health inspection systems that increase survivability.

The weapon is one of the most integral parts of the entire system. The Icycle minimissile is a small, smart and quick anti-armour munition, packed to the brim with submunitions. The entire casing is 147.32cm long and 11.43cm wide, offering something relatively more compact than the alternate Hellfire missile. The missile is split into several comparments, including the rear compartment [~40cm long] which houses the solid fuel rocket engine, while the frontal section [~24cm long] would house the electronics, which include a small GPS, a light radar jammer [to confuse APS systems], and a medium range [medium relative to the missile's size] guidance system. The rest of the missile is used to house forty submunitions, each being independently guided after release and smart attack. The submunition uses a long jet explosively formed penetrator offering ~200mm of penetration. The submunition being a top attack weapon, there is a chance that multiple tanks are knocked out by one missile! If not, the chances of knocking out a single tank are rather great. With twelve missiles stacked in three rows of four missiles in an internal bay, the stopping power of a single Valkyrie is outstanding. Indeed, their first use showed promise.

This was done by a squadron of prototypes deployed to the Juumanistran colony in Skiberdeenia. Imperial command in the area decided that a pre-emptive strike against Yurkan ground assets would propel what was basically a cold war into a hot war - something the Empire was very interested in. The strike was comitted in the morning and post-release every Valkyrie returned home safely. Unfortunately, intelligence provided was wrong, so more soft skinned vehicles than main battle tanks were knocked out - nevertheless, it proved that the GF15 was a very capable system. Because of that single example the GF15 was rushed into production and saw combat in the form of four squadrons deployed at Ishme-Dagan. The GF15 Valkyrie has a promising future ahead of it.

TO: Kriegzimmer Board
FROM: Paul David Nettleton, Minister of Defense, United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
SUBJECT: Order

Greetings,

Several high ranking commanders in the Southeast Asian Air Force are impressed by the GLI-44 "Blackjester" IRBC (Intelligence, Reconnaissance and Battlefield Control Aircraft). However, they have only read them on paper. The Upper House of Parliament has approved of, however, to acquire ten units for testing purposes.

The cost of 245,000,000 USD shall be wired upon the confirmation of the order. Be warned however, several legislative bureaucrats and military commanders in the Air Force have concerns over the Southeast Asian capability of handling the Blackjester logistics wise, and have favorings to another arms corporation that also hires wonderful designers, Clan Smoke Jaguar Military Industries.

Respectfully,
His Excellency,
Minister of Defense
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
Paul David Nettleton

To: Paul David Nettleton, Minister of Defense, United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

We understand the Upper House's resignation in the matter and their rather cautious approach to military procurement. The future battlefield is something that realistically cannot be foreshadowed or predicted accurately enough where such decisions would be easy to make. That said, the Empire's own quick decisions are only possible because they are already in a very entrenched war, where we are not fighting a foe along the lines of a third world nation, but large, ultra modern standing armies spanning millions of men in personnel numbers. But the Fuermak has made mistakes of their own, including the funding and adoption of the Arca. I project - but this serves to illustrate how the future cannot be predicted. Nobody knew that our tanks would react slowly, fire slower - despite increased lethality the weight of the turret and of the gun and its ammunition played an important part. And with that said, it becomes more obvious why we support such caution from the part of your parliament.

Furthermore, if we may add this - we find Clan Smoke Jaguar's equipment to be quite modern and quite able, but we find the mentality of their designers and even generals to be outdated - especially when dealing with tactics and design concepts [OOC: something I was going to outline in my response to his post in his thread, but deleted because I didn't want to fill his thread with an argument; I'd appreciate that you don't copy/paste this and start an animosity - it's mostly an IC view anyways]. That said, the ultimate choice is that of the Parliament, and we will leave that to them.

The ten GLI-44 Blackjesters will be sent as soon as possible, which will be ~two weeks. They will not be of the mass produced variant and will be carefully prepared for each consequent test and obstacle put before it. Kriegzimmer hopes that the GLI-44 comes up ahead of the competition, but that will be reserved to the competition's judges. In any case, Kriegzimmer is completely sure on the Blackjester's abilities - but again, that is not for us to decide. In any case, we thank the Southeast Asian Armed Forces for their continued support of Kriegzimmer armaments and above all the inclusion of many of Kriegzimmer's designs in competitions - we hold that as an honor.

Franberry would liek to purchase production rights for the Hali-42 Assault Rifle, 3.2 billion USD will be wired upon confirmation.

To: Franberry Procurement Agency
Although Kriegzimmer has dropped its production rights, we did not mention this in our first letter to you, and so we will gladfully give them. In other words, the production rights have been confirmed. We assume that the money will be sent through electronic transaction to our preferred bank. If that is the case, the information and all needed to pursue the manufacturing of the rifle in your factories will be sent via 1024 bit satellite encryption - the entire transmission should take ~thirty minutes to complete. We guarantee your satisfaction with the rifle on the field, and should you have any questions we wish you to know that Kriegzimmer is always open to you. Thank you for your decision; we are truly honored.

How well tested is your main Battle tank? Would it measure up to the proformence of a M1A2 Abrams? (A bit broad but nerotika needs to know these things)

EJERMACHT Militaríe Internachnal

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3673/arcaprototype7tm.gif
Prototype for the Arca. IV Nakíl released for photography [OOC: This is an Abrams prototype, so I'm just using it as a picture for this article.]

Kriegzimmer, in conjunction with the Fuermak, hosted an armaments display and show last weekend. Amongst the tanks displayed was the prototype of the Armerch Carríer IV Nakíl, the much expected next generation main battle tank being released together between the Ejermacht and Kriegzimmer. The display proves several of the systems to foreign armament experts and military representatives [OOC: Anybody can assume that they were there, unless if they are on Kriegzimmer's enemy list]. Although no one was allowed to get close to the tank, photographs were allowed from a certain distance, and all who attended were given a glimps of the abilities of the 'Giod' Active Protection System and Defensive Aid Suite. Against the Giod were arrayed several foreign and several indegenous anti-tank guided missiles, except the newer DNR-13 and Tagus Anti-Tank Guided Missile. Captured KAF-90Fs, used by the Havenic Army during the border battles and at Mosnoir Bor and designed by the national armaments industry of the United City States of New Empire, were used to show the preformance of the new explosive reactive armor featured on the Arca. IV, and the new modular ceramic armor designed purposefully for the Nakíl. One could also see the tank cruise at maximum velocity and jump over slopes and obstacles, showing the improved abilities of the Nakíl.

Nevertheless, despite the release of the prototype, Kriegzimmer has reported in their post-show press release that the Arca. IV Nakíl will not be ready until at least the year 2017 - a specific release date has been given as February 2017, although there are chances that the project will be postponed until later 2017, or even 2018. However, the fact that the display was done in the island of Arras, as opposed to the mainland, is testament to the urgency in which this tank is needed. In fact, the mainland is embroiled in a violent and bloody war of succession, which has already seen soldiers die at over five major battles. The Arca. IV is an all around improvement of the Arca. I Cougar. Originally, it was foreseen as a third variant of the Cougar - the Ausva. C. However, the large differences meant an entire change to the size of the turret and the size of the profile, although the length and width is more or less the same. The tank also features an improved fire and control system, and completely drops the idea of the electrothermal-chemical main gun and adopts a lighter system. However, Kriegzimmer says that it offers more power and better preformance than the ETC through the use of a brand new solid propellant, amongst other things.

Finally, Kriegzimmer assures that the new tank will be released for export, although not in the Kriegzimmer catalogue. The Nakíl will be sold in its own catalogue and after some time [some RP years] it will be transferred to the main catalogue. The Arca. IV will also feature an all new procurement system that makes sure to make logistics easier for the purchaser. All in all, Kriegzimmer and the Ejermacht assure the superiority of their newest toy.

How well tested is your main Battle tank? Would it measure up to the proformence of a M1A2 Abrams? (A bit broad but nerotika needs to know these things)

[OOC: The Arca. I Cougar outpreforms the M1A2 Abrams. It has an electromagnetic suspension [drivetrain], meaning it preforms better off-road and offers more comfort to the crew. The maingun gives ~36MJ of power at the muzzle for the shell, while the M1A2 SEP offers only ~9MJ maximum. The Leopard 2A6 and the Leopard 2E offer ~12MJ at the muzzle [for the entire round.... 9MJ for the tungsten penetrator... the reason that the American penetrator penetrates more is because it's designed out of depleted uranium [dU] which has better preformance than a tungsten alloy or a tungsten carbide [WHA]. The Cougar also has much better secondary armaments [tankers have actually complained against .50 caliber machineguns], and much better armored protection. About the only problem with is is that it weighs almost 90 tons. The Arca. IV Nakíl promises to be lighter, with similar armor protection, but changes suspension system and turret drive, as well as a smaller bore main gun without electrothermal-chemical technology. It exchanges the latter with another concept mixed with newer technologies from Kriegzimmer [in RL, a lot of research and money put into it on my part... then again, I buy pdfs because I'm genuinely interested in armor technology].]

TO: Kriegzimmer Board
FROM: Paul David Nettleton, Minister of Defense, United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
SUBJECT: Purchase of production rights

Greetings once more,

The Southeast Asian Air Force has been looking for several replacements to replace our air-to-air missile designs, and once again, we have returned to Kriegzimmer Conglomerates for another purchase. The GLI-44 "Blackjester" IRBC is still going under testing with several other competitors, and I have little to no doubt that it is inevitably going to be our bird. Along with an evenly divided team of generals and leading our military and legislative bureaucrats in the Upper Parliamentarian House bickering.

Fortunately, there is one thing they can agree on - our air-to-air missile made and designed by defense firms that come from the United States of America are getting old. Due to a tight schedule and as we Southeast Asians trust the Macabee Imperium's word, as the ballista of the Imperial Air Force's Lu-45 "Hawk" Air Superiority Fighter was successful against the enemy aircraft of hostile countries to the Golden Throne, not?

So, upon approval from the Upper Parliamentarian House and on behalf of my nation, we wish to acquire unlimited domestic production rights to the AAM Series of Air to Air Missiles.

The cost of 6,400,000,000 USD shall be wired upon the confirmation of the order.

Sincerely,
His Excellency,
Minister of Defense
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
Paul David Nettleton

Welcome back. We're glad to hear your optimism about the GLI-44, and again, we respect the cuation that your Parliament is taking. On the subject of air to air missiles, yes you have our word that the AAM series of air to air arrows are extremely well fitted for the sadistic art of killing - they have been barely introduced into our few squadrons of Hawks, but insofar they have claimed a massive list of casualties on the part of Havenic aircraft and bombers - especially the two squadrons of Condor interceptors that operated against their heavy EB-6 bombers. That said, we confirm the order for production rights for the AAMs, for the stated price. All information pertaining to the missile will be sent through encrypted databursts which will last ~thirty minutes. After that, you will have everything you purchased for and can begin production as soon as your factories say its possible. Again, we guarantee the quality of our missiles, and finally, thank you, once again, for your most pleasureable business.

Office of Procurement

Lost Hills is very interested in acquiring 90 Paramount Class ADVs for a total of $63,000,000,000.

The Army is also intrigued by the new Arca IV heavy tank. From the description in the news release, they appear to be viable candidates to replace our aging T-7 Gilgamesh Heavy Tanks (http://www.meatballs.terminator.org.uk/crookfur/vehicles.html).

Thank you for your support, and Lost Hills looks forward to working with Kriegzimmer in the future.

To: Office of Procurement, Lost Hills Department of Defense
Welcome! The order for ninety Paramount class Air Defense Vessels has been confirmed, and they will be completed at a rate of ten vessels every nine months. Another ten vessels will be laid down a month after laying down the previous ten vessels, which means that the full order will be completed in eighteen months. And we're absolutely thrilled by you interest in the Arca. IV Nakíl Main Battle Tank [alternatively called Nakíl N1A1].

That said, we'll provide a little vignette on why the Nakíl would be an excellent replacement choice for the T-7 Gilgamesh. Well, although we have respect for Crookfur, we have less respect for the T-7 - the armour should be inferior to chobham, not superior, noting that hardness and strength is not as important as ductility when it comes to ceramics and other materials. In any case, chobham already incorporates steels and tungstens and ceramics - that is chobham. Actual armor rating should be ~1000mm, considering that he does used some sort of spaced armor, as well as the ceramic. We note that the 155mm ETC should be generating relatively low velocities for the mass of the round in use, since a full velocity 155mm ETC would cause too much recoil for a tank of that mass to handle. The length of the main gun, or roughly 8.5m should cause that gun to snap after around 300 shots or so, which should be causing a logistical nightmare in your army right now. The retractable armoured skirts would also shorten the amount of space available for your crew, causing severe cramping of space in the turret for the tank commander and gunner [assuming the tank commander is driving, since it only has a crew of two]. It's a wonder the T-7 Gilgamesh has been in your armed forces for so long. We guarantee you that the Arca. IV will be superior in all respects - but we'll let you make your decision for yourself when the tank is released.

If you'd like you can send us two vehicles and we can test the Arca. IV against the T-7, providing you with an honest, in depth comparison between the two in regulated combat.

[OOC: I'm actually completely done, except for the introduction, which has to wait for A Passion Play to progress a bit farther. Well, apart from that I have around $200 dollars worth of material to buy which should expand on certain things (although it's mostly for my own pleasure, and for source materials for certain articles I write), and I have to revisit several parts and make it a bit more specific. It's a 13,322 words for now.]

[OOC: Well, I have reasons of putting people on the guestlist - and I like to keep those reasons to myself. I don't have anything against McKagan ICly or OOCly, and some of my reasons for not putting a lot of people on the guestlist will come up with the procurement section of the Arca.

If you mean the pictures - I don't think so. I have to buy a new domain name, and that will happen when I have enough money.]

[OOC: Actually, by not giving out production rights you've really FORCED me to make my own things. I don't want to have to come here to buy replacements everytime a single unit is dropped just to have even numbers - so i'm forced to use domestic units of the types of things I don't have production rights to already. Of course I'd never copy a complete design or even system, but I do use an ideal from time to time. Kriegzimmer not putting McKagan on the guest list really hurt me because I'd just retired some domestic units to go to an all Kriegzimmer military...]

Your comments about our current T-7s are incredibly worrying and only serve to heighten our interest in the Nakíl N1A1.

TO: Kriegzimmer Board
FROM: Lord High Reedeemer Jarik Eiden, Cmdr, Imperial Legions

BODY: Gentlemen, the Emperor Keak I of The Holy Valsgardian Empire, has tasked me with equipping the now-forming Legions of Valsgard. Kreigzimmer has acquired a reputation as a supplier of high-quality, innovative military technology, so it is natural that I come to you with this request:

The Imperial Legions wish to contract Kreigzimmer with the design and manufacture of an infantry battlesuit specifically designed for the elite infantry of the 2nd Imperial Legion. The 2nd Legion's concept is a highly mobile force, deploying from helicopters, which is able to bring heavy, heavy firepower upon a target quickly. As such, the suit should reflect the uses to which is shall be applied. Mobility and Firepower are of paramont importance.

For this service, the Imperial Government of Emperor Kerak I is willing to pay the Kreigzimmer Corp. design and field-test costs for the battle suit plus 300 million US Dollars for the rights to produce the finished product.

If you should have any questions, I shall answer them to the best of my ability.

Thank You.

[OOC: McKagan; well, the second largest problem with giving production rights is the fact that I end up loosing money because I sell them and you produce them, and end up never returning to Kriegzimmer until a new design is released and you see it fit to import the production rights. Kriegzimmer is trying to reassert their clientel, without having to rely on new equipment every other RL week to draw back old timers.]

To: Lost Hills Department of Defense, Office of Procurement
The list can go on and on, but out of respect for Crookfur it won't. Nevertheless, Kriegzimmer gives its thanks for you allowing us to conduct tests between the Nakíl and the Gilgamesh. Hard data will be given with the release of the Arca. IV, but preliminary data will be given at the Anjíer Armor Simulation (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=476009). Again, thank you.

Welcome to Kriegzimmer and thank you for your kind words. We would be glad to carry out said project explicitely for your nation. That said, what exactly are you looking for? Are you hoping for something like the BDU-64 Samson, or something lighter, and something that doesn't exactly cover the entire soldier? One's definition of battlesuit can be extremely diffirent from another's. Nevertheless, we understand the principles of the project:

1. Agility
2. Firepower
3. Speed

That said, we will design the project around these three goals.

Kriegzimmer is trying to reassert their clientel, without having to rely on new equipment every other RL week to draw back old timers.]

[OOC: Kriegzimmer, to an extent, NEEDS to sell production rights because there's no way to produce 50 Super Dreadnaughts at once. A simple solution to this problem would be to RAISE production right costs. They're not supposed to be cheap. Another idea that I would gladly accept is that you put a CAP on how many units can be made inside a client nation. So if someone buys productions rights for a new tank they can make enough to replace their losses on a small scale but not actually get a better deal than they would have than from ordering direct.]

[OOC: Well, I would need to boost production rights to unbearably high prices. In short, I'd think it would be safer to establish some sort of system in which Kriegzimmer would provide replacements for lost units automatically, without having the person come back, except when you want to make a sizeable increase to the amount of X that you have. The Arca. IV won't be selling production rights period - not even to gueslist individuals. Guestlist people will have production rights to independent parts of the system, but the procurement section of the write-up does state that the purchaser is signing to pay ~750 per every 150 tanks per every mile that they are used for replacement parts. I guess I could add a section on automatic replacement of lost units, as well.]

[OOC: What you could do is have people, instead of buying units, purchase a contract to have a constant supply of a certain number of units.]

[OOC: Well, no because then it would restrict the number of units you could buy in one order to a preset amount - like 500. My way you would order 398 if you wanted to and the contract would also make sure to announce that for every one that you lose, Kriegzimmer will replace it automatically.]

{OOC:Thanks. I was thinking of a version of the Samson, but a bit closer to modern tech, if at all possible, and constructed with those three goals FIRST in mind. If you believe the Samson is indeed the best thing I can get I would be glad to order that unit. I'll probably end up buying some of those anyhow. Anyway, the design should be light, but sturdy enough to afford SOME measure of protection, with the capacity for mounting heavier weapons than a soldier would usually be able to carry, etc. If you believe the best way to do this is by creating a body-armor type suit that does not cover the whole body...hey, that's why you're doing the designing. Just remember those three goals and I'm essentially giving you carte-blanche to give me whatever your brain comes up with.}

[OOC: Alright, well what I'm thinking would be best for a country of your size - well, actually, more of your budgetary size, would be to equip the core of the army with the BDU-64 Samsons, while a provide something lighter to your air assault solders (since they deploy from helicopters) which would focus less on armor and so many systems, and look more like the future soldier of the United States. Less cool, no doubt, but fitting the needs of the soldiers a bit more. In other words, it would be limited protection over areas that would need the most armor using probably SOV-2000 Dragonskin with lightweight ceramic inserts placed over the chest and abodomen, with a newer helmet with integrated electronics and tactical communication system and all that good stuff. Sound good?]

well since your in a battlesuit project we propose our request for the same kind of product except in our type money isn't a problem, our defence ministry has approved a budget of 500 billion dollars for research and production rights of such product. with extra budget available (since i have more than 10 tril $). we would like our version to be modular, and has alot of costumization picks . this battle suit has to be both lightweight/medium weight and strong enough to block a 7.62 AP round and stop some of a .45 cal. the suit also has to have an exoskeleton for our troops. if possible we would also like for the suit to have the ability of diving under 100m (customization version is also accepted). it also has to be flexible enough for our troops to move and perform pinpoint actions.
also any other features is also approved, so if you can add some more it'll be fine. if this project is succesfull we would pay you 1 tril $, but for this you would have to ensure guarantee, and improvement of our suit for the next couple of decades,don't worry we will pay you per year.
also we would like to to make the suit available to be connected to our weapons and the hali-42, so a mod is good

Shawn Tawner,
Angelonisia Minister of Defence

[OOC: For that, I suggest the BDU-64.]

but we already have the production rights for the BDU-64 so we requested a next gen battlesuit, also we would like to change the requirement so that the battle suit can withstand an impact of .50 AP round at the critical points, and a normal .45 AP on every point

OOC: that sounds perfect. Thanks for the help.

- Vasili Korulev, 1st Security Officer

OOC: Angelonisia, if I was to design a battlesuit that could stop 12.7mm (.5 calibre) bullets it would weigh so much that the advantage in stopping the bullet would cause a disadvantage in price, mobility, agility and speed. The BDU-64 provides a point where I can use light inserts and light armor to provide powerful defense, but even that would have problems stopping a longer calibre, high speed 7.62/92mm flechette. .5 calibre bullets are supposed to be able to pierce lighter armored personnel carriers - how I am supposed to present that much protection on an infantry battlesuit?]

To: Valsgard
The order has been confirmed and the five thousand BDU-64s will be delivered within the month. Your light battlesuit is currently being designed, but unfortunately, may take a little longer than expected since so much time is being put into the Arca. IV Nakil.

[signed]Kriegzimmer Board

sigh, i guess youre right then we just wanted a battlesuit that can outperform the BDU 64 since it's quite aging in our army, unless you can create an update for it. if this is too complicated then we can give you some of our new Lyconite Admantium based alloy, it's an alloy that our scientist created by mixing the molecular structure of a few alloy then combining it together. the alloy is lighter than dragoon skin, and can absorb more damage since it's molecular structure makes it tough to penetrate, but using this will make the price of the battlesuit higher its still doable

[OOC: My philosophy is if it's 'ain't broke, don't fix it'. Generally, I use alloys already in existance, since making up alloys can lead to other people making up alloys, which can lead to be people claiming things I don't want to roleplay with. You could do it with your own battlesuit, and effective just start producing them yourself.. but I don't want to do that. I'll look over the BDU-64 this next week and see if I can improve it with a new variant... in my own military it's been serving ~10 years... the M16 has been serving ~30 in the U.S. Military.]

OOC: But thats on its A3 variant isnt it?

[OOC: The finished product! Of course, with the active protection system.

From: Imperial McKagan Air Force
Subject: Anti-Tank Weaponry

We've been watching the power race between multiple parties in an attempt to gain superiority in the world of tank warfare. That is a world that McKagan has stayed out of for some time. However we currently have several theatres where armor is playing a vital role in who controls ground. Because of this, we have decided to make a major investment in the GF15 Valkyrie Anti-Armour Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle.

This is a major investment. Not only do we wish to have the numbers to defend ourselves - we see them as a vital tool in force projection from carrier battlegroups and other units.

We would like to place a purchase for 20,000 GF15's. The final price is 578 million USD. Please ship these units via either transport ship or air to Triesa, McKagan.

To: Imperial McKagan Air Force
Armor, in our perspective, should play a large role in any ground campaign, and understand that many other nations share this same feeling - for that reason the GF15 was designed. Seeing as how you agree to the purpose of said aircraft, we're glad that you saw interest in the unmanned combat aerial vehicle, and we accept and confirm your subsequent order. Understandably, twenty thousand is a large batch of UCAVs, but we will be able to provide a flat rate of seven hundred and fifty a month, meaning the entire order will be completed in ~twenty-seven months. These will be shipped to Triesa, as requested, and every lost GF15 will be automatically replaced, at your expense of course, but without you having to come back for individual replacements. Given that you are hoping to rely on Kriegzimmer for your anti-tank and tank needs we hope that McKagan find some interest in the future Arca. IV Nakíl, or Nakíl 1, main battle tank. In any case, thank you for returning to Kriegzimmer.

Carranzei class CAGN
The Carranzei is a by-product of the needs of the Greater Prussian Empire, coupled with the slight dissatisfaction regarding the Tenacious class Missile Guided Cruiser that first saw action at the Battle of Otium Aqua Sea in mid-August 2016. The Tenacious class Ephemeral scored a kill against the Independent Hitmen Los Angeles class nuclear attack submarine L42, yet unnamed. Despite that, the cruisers found themselves misreably under armed when under fire from Stevidian and Hitmen missile wielding aircraft, and despite the fact that they did make good ground as anti-air warfare cruisers, they could not couple that with the ability to fire back - they were simply too underarmed. Given that, the Carranzei was a much needed addition to the fleet and by 2019 it would see service along side already existing Tenacious class Cruisers, and while the Tenacious was a smaller, dedicated anti-air warfare cruiser the Carranzei would be the heavy cruiser the fleet really needed for dual operations. In any case, the Carranzei's sister class would be the Indúr class CAN, specifically designed for anti-air warfare and meant to replace all Tenacious class Cruisers by 2026, while the Tenacious became solely an export model. In any case, the Carranzei mixes a good, healthy does of sparkle with a bigger dose of logic and need. It should wield enough power through the four hundred and ninety verticle launch tubes to provide plentiful offensive power and enough defensive power - indeed, through the conveyor belt system it can bring to bear enough power to defend itself in any naval engagement. With the Sledgehammer II, or a sleeved Sledgehammer I, or even a sleeved Shockhound Avenger, the Carranzei carries very able missiles capable of long-range anti-shipping operations, while the even greater numbers of P.746.A surface to air missiles and P.746.B surface to air missiles should be enough to provide a cunning and offensive stopping defense - the former being a long range missile and the latter a short range missile. This makes the Carranzei class absolutely perfect for escort duties, as well as duties in the outside ASuS, or even ASW, perimeter of a fleet, much like the classic role of a cruiser in the Kriermada.

Conhort Mk. II Close-In Weapon System

Introduction: The Conhort Mk.II Close-in Weapon System [CIWS] is a general upgrade on the Conhort Mk. I which debuted on the Elusive class Battleship in 2008. The Conhort Mk. II, sometimes simply referred to the Conhort on publications, is an increased bore gatling gun that takes advantage of newer technologies and their maturation, as well as what has been termed the 'nuclear revolution', which has seen replenishment ships with fission and even fusion reactors! In other words, it takes advantage of the rather huge availability of power which most combat ships seem to wield, thereby accepting huge velocities with larger mass rounds. However, the Conhort Mk. I has not been totally replaced and can still be seen in use in smaller shipping - despite this, both systems often are published with the universal name of 'Conhort'. Being a point defense system with a longer range and better methods of angling the mount it increases probability engaging, hitting and killing incoming missiles and fixed-wing aircraft at short range. Furthermore, it has the ability to do so faster, and given the longer range, thus meaning that the Mk. II can engage and kill faster and then move on to the next threat - in that way killing more missiles all the while. The first Conhort Mk. II debuted on the HES Feathermore in August 2016, seeing action in the Battle of Otium Aqua Sea. Although the Feathermore took extensive damage from the hundreds of missiles that tried to engage it, it nonetheless survived the first exchange to see damage reaped on Task Force Hampshire, a Hitmen fleet. The new system draws extensively from the examples provided by the German/Swiss Millenium Gun, the Dutch Goalkeeper System, the American Phalanx and the Chinese Type 730 'Ricelamps'. It, however, boasts complete Macabee engineering and several concepts not borrowed from past CIWS systems.

Armament: The gun is a six-barreled gatling gun, similar to that which will debut on the Arica. II in 2021 [est.], but instead of the dual-calibre approach all six barrels are of 35mm diameter, chosen simply to be able to use rounds which would be used on future gun systems through the Fuermak and Kriermada, or otherwise facing to build a completely new calibre of similar bullets. The heavier mass also increases the kinetic energy during hit-to-kill bursts and the Mk. II fails to suffer from lower velocity due to the design of the propellant. The propellant, of course, is electromagnetic, using five accelerating rails per barrel, forming what would look like a star. The six barrels would be sorrounded by three circular joining pieces, and this would be enshrouded in a thermal shroud which would also attenuate the barrels through the use of applied mass at the front. The individual barrels would be pressurised air cooled, or could be cooled by an applied advance coolant such as liquid nitrogen [ln2]. Ammunition is kept in a drum barrel inside the mount itself, carrying 700 rounds+, while additional ammunition is carried in a secondary drum, and around 3,000+ rounds kept below deck, meaning that the Mk. II does require subdeck compartments to mount. The round used a simple advance hit effeciency and destruction [AHEAD] round, using a solid depleted uranium slug. Each round leaves with a maximum velocity of ~1,600 meters per second, achievable through the use of railguns, while even that is not its tested maximum. Railguns have been tested both in Mandalay and in Beda Fromm as the ongoing project to mature the technology for possible use on main battle tanks, although it will not see use on the Nakíl, and 90mm sabots have been fired at velocities exceeding 4,500 meters per second. That said, the power requirement for each individual CIWS mount is not rediculous, and an equivalent compulsator would weigh about a quarter of a ton to half a ton. In other words, unlike a railgun would infer, this system is not that power hungry. Furthermore, with said velocity and masses the round has a higher kinetic energy that most other close-in weapon systems in use around the world, and with the further progress of railgun technology there is no doubt that these muzzle velocities can be increased by leaps and bounds in the next ten to thirty years. In any case, the Conhort Mk. II is able to defeat conventional missiles, as well as uparmored missiles.


http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/6496/conhort0by.png


Key Points: The Mk. II has one key disadvantage to systems that resemble the Phalanx. The Mk. II cannot simply be welded to the deck and ready for us, and requires integration with the ship since most of the ammunition is held below deck. This does mean that it can store greater quantities of ammunition, but it is difficult to refit the ship during combat, assuming that more mounts are needed on said ship. However, the Mk. II is able to hold much more ammunition due to the fact that it holds two ammo drums on the mount itself, and then a considerable stowage facility underneath the deck. The Mk. II does have a bigger calibre than both the Phalanx and Goalkeeper, but does not supercede calibres frequently encountered in ultra-modern technologies. In any case, the Conhort Mk. II focuses on optimisation of velocity and mass, as opposed to the size of the calibre, as well as rate of fire and most of all accuracy. When it comes to these listed criteria the Conhort Mk. II excels and by some even considered superior to many other point-defense systems. However, because of the method of acceleration the Mk. II has the advantage of a greater kill distance than similar guns. Finally, the system is fully compatible to work in tandem with anti-air artillery guns used as dual purpose cannon on ships, as well as missiles, and with a few changes can be fitted for land defense as well.

Another question, are the new ships fitted with the conhort II's or do we add them on with cost?

Third question, the conhort II's can be fitted on to all your ships?]

Official United States Government Order Form

Considering that the Holy Empire of Cav has recently agreed to grant us 20 trillion Universal Standard Dollars per year for the development of our defense forces, we would like to make a small order with the Kriegzimmer corporations, on condition that all the weapons below are produced within the United States of Allanea. This order is as follows.

1.For the defense of the Allanean Navy from enemy air attacks, we would like to purchase 100 Paramount Air Defense vessels.
2.For the increase of the Allanean Navy's offshore deployment power, we would like to purchase 6 Zealous Class superdreadnaughts. These will be designates the USS Ian Paisley, Napoleon IV, Alexander Kazansky, Fedor I, Sirithil Nos Feanor and Navarrone
3.For additional defense of Roanoke Island, 100 Azores Class Fast Attack Craft are necessary as well.
4.For increase of the United States Navy's force projection capability, we require 100 Pepperbox support craft in troop transport configuration and 20 in fleet support configuration..
5.For the increase of the United States Navy's Haven Patrol capability, we require 100 Cartagena class SSN's
6.For the needs of the United States Army, we would like to purchase 5,000 Arca-1 tanks, to phase out the outdated George Walker Bush Mk II tank.
7.To replace the United States Air Force's ageing RB-227 craft, we would like to purchase 1,000 BE-23 aircraft.
8.To supplement Allanea's battleship capacity, we are in need of 100 Elusive class battleships.
9.To supplement Allanea's cruiser capacity, we require 100 Tenacious class cruisers.

The total cost for these marvellous products will be 2 trillion Universal Standard dollars.

[OOC: Hailandkill, the Conhort Mk. II should be assumed fitted in every ship with a nuclear reactor, and on non-nuclear ships without massive armaments. On smaller ships the Conhort Mk. I is still going to be used.]

To: United States Procurement Agency
Under the sole condition that all armaments are produced in factories on Allanean soil, the order has been confirmed. Everything should be completed rather quickly, save the large shipping. The one hundred Elusives should take a good twelve years mininum to complete, although we will switch production immediately to a newer battleship should one be designed [OOC: A replacement is going to be designed pretty soon.], meaning you will receive the newer battleships when they are ready to be constructed - no loss in time. Nevertheless, the armor should be ready before the year's end, as well as the aircraft, and everything else should take between a year and twelve years to complete. Fortunately, our shipyards in Allanean territory are rather large, so production time isn't necessarilly lost through the prerequisite. In any case, thank you for the order and the business.

'Aristaqis' Class Trimaran Assualt Dreadnaught [ADN]

Skyan Nomenclature: Hyperion

The Aristaqis was named after a demon of that name and one of the fallen angels. He was a Nephilim, or a race of giants conjured when a son of God mated with a daughter of men, sone of Betryal who never knew his son. Aristaqis' soul was tainted by the dark and thereafter brought back to the light by another fallen angel, as mythology tells. Aristaqis became the guardian of the human soul after being saved from Lucifer by an unknown fallen angel. In the same way, the Aristaqis befriends the evil [war], but is no less than the guardian of the Empire and of her allies. In that way she redeems herself, just as Aristaqis, the demon, once did thousands of years past. At just over a thousand meters of length the Aristaqis is one of the larger ships in the Kriermada's arsenal, save for the Feathermore, and is the product of cooperation between the Silver Sky and the Second Empire of the Golden Throne. The result truly fits the categorisation of a demon and of a guardian, as said before. Some of the older Zealous class Super Dreadnoughts will be replaced by Aristaqis class Assault Dreadnoughts by 2019 to 2020, while the rest will be replaced by smaller dreadnoughts in the hundred thousand ton range, as opposed to millions of tons range. Despite the advent of such ships like the Aristaqis or the Feathermore, both of which are over a kilometer in length, the super dreadnought has been cast as obsolete, due to the fact that the smaller and cheaper dreadnought can mount smaller sized guns in larger numbers, with the same ranges, and do the same amount of damage through the use of electromagnetic acceleration. Both of these larger ships are remnants of the need for national pride and the sheer morale effects of huge shipping in gun blazing naval battles. The sister class is a Skyan vessel by the name of the Hyperion, and offers a somewhat different array of ordnance and armaments.

The Aristaqis boasts seven turrets of 635mm GS.19 hyper velocity naval guns, which use complete electromagnetic acceleration through the use of coiling, offering a total of twenty-eight guns. The Hyperion offers the same caliber, but instead exchange gun type to the Mk. X electrotherma-chemically accelerated cannons, using a solid propellant. The Hyperion also offers more smaller caliber dual purpose guns, although the Aristaqis simply added more 155mm dual purpose guns for work as anti-air artillery. Both offer the same number of close-in weapon system mounts, although the Aristaqis uses the Conhort Mk. II, and the Hyperion the Conhort Mk. III which displays smaller surface to air missiles on the mount, as opposed to just a single 35mm gatling. The Aristaqis also boasts more verticle launch tubes due to the decrease in secondary turrets. In other words, the Aristaqis is curtailed to the Kriermada's needs, as is the Hyperion to the Silver Sky. Armor wise both ships are incredibly well protected although the Aristaqis has half the armor, which it sacrifices knowing that the equivalence armor will still be strong enough, while it has the ability to reach much higher speeds, especially in sprint. Once again, a judgement of doctrine. The Aristaqis also sacrifices its torpedos and instead makes the weight up by adding several adaptable highspeed underwater munitions [ASHuM] mounts. Nevertheless, both are very sound designs, built to kill.

Under the auspices of the post-Targul Frumos and Otium Aqua Sea battles Kriermada revampment program, the Aristaqis will find a welcome home beside her larger cousin the Feathermore, and the smaller ships of the Kriermada.

To: United States of Allanea Government
Welcome back, once again, to Kriegzimmer. It seems our entire economy runs off you today, which is all good since with the war raging as brilliantly as ever we will need as much as we can get. But alas, enough with the pitty - the order has been confirmed, of course. Like the other orders, everything will be produced in factories on Allanean soil, and so let us begin the time schedules. The Feathermore will be completed in thirty-six months, and the three Aristaqis at the same time. The twenty Carranzei heavy cruisers will be built in two batches; the first will be ready within twenty-four months and the second within thirty-six. The ten Pepperbox LSVs will be built after this ships have been completed, making their deliverence date forty-eight months. Before we confirm the order for Elusives we would like to warn that the new battleships designed to replace the Elusives will soon make their apperance on Kriegzimmer. Understandably, we did confirm the order for one hundred Elusives, and promised to switch to the new battleships when they were released - but since this order is so close to the planned release we just wanted to warn you before anything was truly confirmed.

Thank you for yet another order, and we would like to conduct future business discussing the expansion of the Kriegzimmer factory in Allanea. Frankly, it will take very long to finish all these ships in short times, and before we relied on our entire international availability of factories. Perhaps Allanea has more landmasses under its sovereignty that it can begin to sell off for factory grounds? In any case, thank you.

As for your second order, that has been confirmed as well, although again perhaps you would want to wait on those battleships. The rest will take at least six or seven years to complete. Even with the expansion of the factories it will take that much time. Ship building is one of the slowest manufacturing processes of them all, but we guarantee that it is a worthwhile venture. We could possibly cut it down to five years should you allow us to build the ships anywhere in any Kriegzimmer factory.

Official United States Government Response

We would rather that the process take some more time, yet be developed on Allanean soil. We are not planning far-reaching conflics, and so can afford to wait.

The confederate States of Spizania would like to order a feathermore class Superdreadnaught and half a million Sledgehammer Anti-Superdreadnaught Missiles. The Payment will be wired on confirmation, less our 50% naval discount.

The Republic of Brazil would like to order the following:-
One million Shockhound I Avengers
One hundred thousand Sledgehammer Missiles
4 Pactilia Class Galleons
Ten Million DNR-13 Recoiless Rifles

Payment will be wired upon Confirmation

Communiqué to the Procurement Agencies of the Confederacy of Spizania
Welcome back to Kriegzimmer dear allies. Your order, of course, has been confirmed, and the Feathermore will be ready within thirty-six months or so. The missiles will be exported in batches of one hundred thousand per month, meaning in five months. Unfortunately, all discouts were eliminated after the death of Harbinger and the new policies of Kriegzimmer. This was mentioned several times in the past, so we see it as not something of our own fault. We apologize if this serves as an inconvenience, and we will cancel the order should you wish to. If not, the order will continue to be confirmed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Communiqué to the Procurement Agency of Brazil
Because of Brazil's iffy policies, Spain feels compelled to not agree with some of the order. This includes the four galleons, which we feel would not be safe in your hands until we can get a clearer picture of Brazil's foreign policy. Understandably, you may not want the anti-shipping missiles and therefore will not confirm those until you confirm the order.

Oh, I will get an IC post up for the Conhort-II production rights later]

Communiqué to the Procurement Agency of Brazil
Because of Brazil's iffy policies, Spain feels compelled to not agree with some of the order. This includes the four galleons, which we feel would not be safe in your hands until we can get a clearer picture of Brazil's foreign policy. Understandably, you may not want the anti-shipping missiles and therefore will not confirm those until you confirm the order.

Kristík class Battleship

After the results of the Battle of Otium Aqua Sea, August of 2016, the Kriermada conducted a naval review of the older ships in serve, including (although not limited to) the Elusive class Battleship. This had been hailed as the new and long life serving battleship under the rule of Jonach I, but it was quickly found that alternate vessels of the same type were of necessity. Ultimately, the Kriermada went to Kriegzimmer for three new designs, the first of which was the Kristík (pronounced kris-tique; note the lack of an accent on the e), followed by the Establías and Gepár classes. They were designed to fulfill three roles, one of a lighter battleship, one of a generic medium battleship and the last as a command battleship, respectively. The first ship of the class, the HES Kristík, would be comissioned in 2020 and would effectively fulfill the role of all Elusives by 2025, along with the Establías and Gepár. The Kristík is truly a light battleship in the ultra-modern sense of the word, displacing 145,000 tonnes and having relatively light armaments for similar ships of its class. It's designed to fit the doctrinal dogma of the Kriermada, which has been shifting ever since the Battle of Targul Frumos and most likely will continue to shift throughout the entire War of Golden Succession. Nevertheless, the Kristík has a long service life ahead of her, not only in the Kriermada but in other international navies.

OOC: Mac, I think a part of the write-up of the Kristík needs correction....

[OOC: Since where on the Kristik class, is this a battleship designed to directly replace the Elusive or one of three, like the write-up says?

If it isn't a direct replacement, I still would want to do a newer, better Elusive design. Frankly, I love that damn ship after the naval battle of Targul Frumos and would like a similar, yet better ship.]

OOC: Mac, I think a part of the write-up of the Kristík needs correction....

Does it?

HK, the 'direct replacement' to the Elusive will be all three ships, one of which will have to be designed by both of us - probably the 'medium' weight one.

Re: Naval Refit Order

As our navy undergoes significan changes after the loss of Targul Frumos, we come again to Kriegzimmer for our needs. First we need to refit our nuclear powered ships with the Conhort-II CIWS system; so we ask for those production rights first. Next we need to add more of a cruiser power to our new fleets and so we ask for the Morosky-Orol, and the Carranzei class cruisers' production rights.

We also find the need to replace the aging seawolf class submarines in our navy, and thus we also would like production rights the Cartegena class SSN.

The money, as always, has already been wired.

We're glad that the Hali-42 and Hali-37 caught your eye as your army was looking for a new combat rifle. The former is most likely one of the best in service, while the latter is cheap, reliable and perfect for mass conscripts. In other words, the order has been confirmed and both orders will be completed within eighteen months and no more. We thank you for your business and for looking into Kriegzimmer's selection. You certainly made a very good choice.

YU.13 Gertantel 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i291/Macabees/YU.png

The 'God of War'
The first indegenous howitzer that was fielded by the Second Empire of the Golden Throne [The Macabees] was actually put into production post-war [Great Civil War]. For all the technological advancements achieved during the war the Macabee Kingdom did not field a self-propelled howitzer. This self-propelled piece, put into production 2006, was the KriGud - God of War. Despite its name and its long service within the Fuermak [over eleven years] it was a disastrous project, kept only because of the national pride that went into the artillery gun. It was overpowered with too large of an engine which consequently disallowed the four barrels to depreciate less than 11 degrees, and cramped stowage conditions within the chassis which both limited the amount of rounds able to be stored and threatened that if it was penetrated by anything the KriGud could go up in flames. And even with the larger engine the vehicle could only roll at around fifty kilometers per hour due to transmission problems. Beyond mechanical problems the KriGud's 'ingenious' design allowed it to drop twenty-four rounds a minute, using mercy mission to alternate flight paths and thus allowing all twenty-four rounds to fall at the same time, increasing the amount of shells an artillery piece could put in before the adversary was fully aware of what was happening. In other words it was for the advantage of suprise. Unfortunately, this backfired given that at the time of design the cooling mechanisms could not possibly keep the rate of fire of six rounds per barrel a minute, meaning the tubes would have to be replaced far too frequently to make it cost-effective. Finally, the heavy use of hydraulics make it far too much of a fire hazard, and it was overweight for its type. In other words, the KriGud was the Empire's IS-4 of artillery.

Nevertheless the KriGud saw a long service within the Fuermak, and service in the artillery arms of several other countries, such as Hailandkill. However, the KriGud failed to see much combat in Kahta [due to hasty armstice at the request of Kahta] and in the Malgerian War due to quick conclusion of that as well. By 2016 it was being phased out in favour of the 155mm Corbulo, a self-propelled artillery piece, and didn't see combat in Ruska, although it would be deployed in the 'Reistari" counterstroke between August 2016 and October 2016, in which the Empire, along with its Killian allies, would finally break into Weigar culminating at the Battle of Viusbi which would claim tens of thousands of lives on both sides. The KriGud also saw much service within the Killian armies in the War of Golden Sucession, including the First and Second Battles of Mons Dei and the Battle of Aurillac between May and August 2016. In fact, the KriGud would see a lot of combat in service of Kriegzimmer clients. It's track record was actually not quite as bad as its mechanical failures were, and were it not for the obvious logistical problems the KriGud would most likely remain in service, but despite impressive examples during war, the Fuermak and Ejermacht [Armed Forces and Ground Forces] decided it was time to replace it in August of 2016. Emperor Fedor I personally begun competition between Kriegzimmer's subcompanies in the conglomerate to come up with three different designs, one for each contractor, and present them to him by May 2017. The eight months would offer some impressive results.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
On 8 May 2017 Fedor was personally presented with three seperate howitzer designs from Factories 836, 290 and 371. The former presented Vehekt 1029, which was the direct relation to the God of War. It followed suite with four 'stub' barrels which would rotate in rapid succession firing around thirty-six rounds in a minute. However, it was absolutely huge and threatened logistical hell should the cooling liquids be let loose out of their canisters. Vehekt 1029 was ordered scrapped and the factory was told to switch towards production of the chosen howitzer immediately after the showcase. Factory 290 offered Vehekt 2013 which was a large 240mm self-propelled howitzer. In the end it was a decision between Vehekt 2013 and Vehekt 3780 from Factory 371. The latter, of course, would become the Gertantel, a 155mm long range self-propelled howitzer, designed to become a state-of-the-art vehicle to replace the God of War and give the Empire a piece that could last for the next two to three decades. Ultimately, it had the fact that liquid propellants had been tested with the Nakíl, successfully at that, and that it was based off the chassis of the Nakíl, making production much cheaper and faster. The showcase concluded with Fedor ordering Vehekt 1029 eliminated, Vehekt 2013 put into production by June 2017 as the 'Ferestíen' Heavy Self-Propelled Howitzer, after some extensive revisions, and Vehekt 3780 to be put into production 'effective immediately' in dozens of factories around the world, prepared to replace around six hundred God of Wars by mid-June and over two thousand by the end of July, which would make it one of the largest replacement operations undertaken by Kriegzimmer.

Armament:
The YU.13 is fitted with a forty-four caliber 155mm howitzer, using a two-stage hydroxylammonium nitrate [HAN] stabalised regeneratively injected liquid propellant [RILP]. Injection is done by four nozzles that inject into the combustion chamber of the gun, and the liquid propellant quickly expands faster as it goes down the six meter long barrel. Despite past distrust in liquid propellants the technology has seen more and more use, first in the Hali-42 assault rifle, then in the Nakíl 1 main battle tank, and now in the Gertantel self-propelled howitzer. Through greater segregation of the liquid propellant in the cylindrical storage tanks behind the combustion chamber, designed to allow maximum storage effeciency of a propellant type who's advantages include better storage effeciency, the liquid propellant's disadvantages become less evident. The reshaped barrel is lined with chrome, with the layer gradually thicknening as it goes down the barrel, however, liquid propellants are known to allow for extended barrel life due to the controlled combustion. The liquid propellant should guarantee much longer ranges and a more cost effective system.

The YU.13 is compatible with all older 155mm Kriegzimmer rounds, including the TIR.11.155 high explosive [HE] round, TIR.76.155 Extended Range Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition and the TIR.21.155 Sense and Destroy Armor Munition, as well as the other five principal 155mm rounds [TIR.33.155, TIR.217.155, TIR.17.155, TIR.81,155 and TIR.31.155]. Furthermore, the fire control system of the Gartantel can fire up to ten rounds fire and strike at the same time using 'mercy mission' control. In other words, it controls the trajectory of the round so that the rounds land at the same time, increasing the amount of firepower it can put down under the auspices of suprise.

Supply Vehicle
The YU.13 Gurtantel vehicle has its own resupply vehicle known as the YUA(VT) and has the capability to automatically resupply the Gartantel with forty-eight rounds in just over ten minutes, as well as fuel. The resupply vehicle carries ninety-six rounds and is armored by a thin layer of ~60mm of aluminum armor against small arms fire. Both vehicles are tracked.

[OOC: Depends on what your definition of MT is. I'm ~2020-2030, and with a few things a bit beyond that for storyline in RPs... like the Morrigan and future super heavy battle tanks. In any case, I actually do use real life designs as inspiration. For example, the Nakíl was inspired by the Leopard 2E [Spanish Leopard 2A6 variant with more armor and different electronics], old German prototypes, the Type 98/99 and other designs in a more minor way. But there's also heavy influence of things that I've learned RPing over the years and that gives it all a good mix. And yea, sure, I'll take a look at that. :) ]

[OOC:
SEA: I try to attract everyone, but I understand that I simply will not attract some people. Mostly Haven members, or those that were opposed to the RWC in 2004. I restarted my history in January 2005 but some people still equate me with the debacle of an RP that turned into a flamefest - after that I left NS for a while... in fact, I simply abandoned the RP without telling anybody. So, CSJ understandably attracts those people more than I do and their allies as well. Frankly, if CSJ's storefront was to die most of his clientel would probably turn to DMG.

Hailandkill: Yes, you can. And I would take the battleship, but I already promised three battleships for Kriegzimmer [see write-up for the Kristík].]

OOC:

Just quickly, to splash the rest of my procurement budget....

The Praetorian Missile Launcher - which missiles does it fire? I wish to purchase a good few launchers and loads of missiles, so I need to know this.

Also, how much would an engineless Arca. II Ashurbanipal Light Battle Tank be?

OOC: Mac, you said that you had a substantial automobile industry in the Empire itself, so why not make a car storefront?

[OOC:
Galashiels: The Praetorian II normally launches the P.746.B, which you can see in the link for the P.746.X series. The engineless Arca. II would probably be 3.3 or so million USD. I should probably change the engine to a gas turbine now that the Nakíl uses a gas turbine.]

SEA: I play it off as having a big automobile sector means a bigger armaments sector since a lot of my automobile companies also makes part to my tanks - sorta how Porsche and MAN tended to make tanks for the Germans during the Second World War. What I was thinking was just a tank storefront with tanks that failed to make it through the rigorous testing to become the prime production model for Kriegzimmer and the Army.]

[OOC: The automobile industry isn't that bad on NS. There has been some role-plays involving the sale of cars. Plus, why not make a civilian product write-up given your talented skills in designing, it'll give me a sigh of relief that at least there's something civilian being made.]

OOC: LOL! Anyway, what does your government think of CSJ?

[OOC: Really don't know how to say it in diplomatic terms. Since I don't recognize anything pre-2005 as ever happening then any bad blood between us doesn't exist. In fall of 2004 I conquered Spain on Earth I from Hamptonshire, who was an....ass... and he gave it to the NWO in some behind my back agreement, telling me I wasn't important enough to be in the agreement..even though it was I who bombed his installations to hell. Didn't matter...ViZion gave me Spain about two weeks later. But when the NATO-RWC war started to brew up CSJ did send a fleet..nothing happened as I left NS for a good two months due to the OOC bitchfest that fiasco turned into and because, I admit it finally, I was a coward. But I would like a replay of that :) ... since I've changed since the days I was 16.]

[OOC: Got it. By the way, one last question - do you mind if I ask someone to draw the Ingerier on Lineartinc? I know it's your work, but I requested it.]

[OOC: Nah, I don't mind.]

GLI-113 'Ank'ríat' Super Heavy Bomber

To say that the Empire was uninterested in ideas that abroad were termed 'unfeasible' or 'illogical' is untrue, and behemoths like the Morrigan prove that. But the Empire participated in far more than large tank developement and in August 2016 that was made public to the world. On August 19th Aurillac, a city of Baroque and Neo-Classical splendor, suffered around seventy-six percent destruction at the hands of Havenic EB-9 heavy bombers and EB-15 Arkbirds, killing over twenty-one million civilians in the process. The slaughter turned into the justification for a war of terror and genocide that would mark the War of Golden Succession from that point foward. The first retribution came at the hands of the squadron of sixty GLI-113s that had been built in secrecy for over four years before the war. These gargantuan aircraft were the result of over eight years of research and construction and like the size of their frames the ordnance they carried with them was equally as massive. She was equally as innovative as the Lu-27 Condor Hypersonic Interceptor, but had a much more explosive quality to her that would manifest itself into the tens of thousands of deaths if caused on the ground. Each aircraft was beautifully constructed out of the best materials of the age, and they were powered by six turbofan engines. But instead of fuel they burned on nuclear energy. She was the ultramodern bomber of the Empire, and she would offer her share of the vengeance for what would happen that day at Aurillac.

The rear of the aircraft houses a variation of a MIniature ReacTor EnginE [MITEE], weighing around 1,200 kilograms, which heats the air coming through the various inlets of the turbofans of the bomber. This heated air is in turn passed through high pressure nozzles which turn the blisk. In essence, this bomber has no range limitations except those imposed through crew fatigue, maintenance requirements and consumables. What this makes for is a great strategic bomber, and a tactical bomber for long range missions. This was proven during the bombings over Ruska after the destruction of Aurillac, August 2017, and during the same month when a single GLI-133 dropped six small submergibles laden with nuclear explosives over Otium Aqua Sea to raid Stevidian port cities and sink their fleets. The same bombers would then conduct long range missions to hit Stevidian deployments inside their own country to open them up for coastal raids and such. In other words, the GLI-133 could have rendered the tanker obsolete if it wasn't for the fact that the birds cost too much to deploy heavily or in dangerous situations. Nevertheless, it gave the Empire a wonderful tool to use for long range bombings. The crew is isolated from the reactor in a single long room down the front of the bomber. However, other than that, the crew is severely limited to where it can go. Isolation is conducted through an internal shielding with carbon honeycomb foams and lead. As implied, all five crew members are protected by this isolation, given the amount of heat and possible radiation from the reactor.

The bomber can carry over two hundred thousand kilograms worth of armaments, including long range cruise missiles [over 4,000 kilometer range], heavy bombs, and lighter munitions. As the missions over Otium Aqua indicate, they also serve as quasi-transports! In all seriousness, however, the Ank'riat can pack a mean explosive power, which is what proved so attractive in the first place. For self-protection the bomber also carries to smaller internal bays laden with a single rocket launcher in each bay. These serve as aerial close-in weapon systems, firing smaller missiles to interrupt the flight of incoming surface to air missiles or air to air missiles, increasing the survivability of a very, very expensive heavy aircraft. But regardless, just ask SafeHaven or Stevid just how much it hurt to get hit by one of these!

The Confederate States of Spizania wishes to purchase twenty four of the new GLI-113 'Ank'ríat' Super Heavy Bomber, the required sum has been transferred to your international bank account in gold bullion [fancy saying something different "than it has been wired" just this once]

OOC: Dont suppose they will be ready for the followup to Ishme Dagan? I want them for a counter offensive into Safehaven, assuming the RP wont just end with that battle

[OOC: They're available right now. Like it says in the write-up a squadron was used as early as August 2016. Ishme-Degan is September 2016. Admittedly, the plane was kept secret until their bombing runs of that month, but no doubt some could quickly be exported to allied nations by the time of Ishme-Dagan.]

Communiqué of Confirmation to Spizania
Welcome back! Your order has been confirmed for 34 billion USD. The twenty GLI-133s will be delivered by September 5th, 2016, as fast as they can since it is for the war effort. That said, play nice with your new birds. :)

OOC: So i will have them at Ishme Dagan? :D DEATH FROM ABOVE, FEAR ME HAVENITE TANKERS :D

Sorry about that

OOC: Mac, when are you gonna roll out a successor to the MRLS you have?

[OOC: You could consider the RHE.24 Nakil variant a replacement if you will. Personally, thats what I used to replace the MRLS. BTW Mac, you still have a heavy BB to finish. I did most of the work, now just right an abstract dammnit!! :P]

[OOC: The SRE.24 is intended to be the 'mortar' of rocket artillery. Direct support, specific area rocket support. The future MRLS will have a range of 100kms+.]
