N-45 Mockingbird Light Nuclear Device
Designed and Produced in Feline Catfish

http://homepage.eircom.net/~steven/images/noranti.jpg

Length: 9m
Width (inc Wingspan): 0.8m (3m)

Speed: Mach 1.2
Range: 120 Nautical Miles
Mode of Flight: Sea-Skimming

Warhead: N-45 Mockingbird Light Nuclear Warhead
Yield: 20 Kilotonnes

Production Cost: £50,000,000

The N-45 Mockingbird Light Nuclear Device and accompanying missile was designed purely with Feline Catfish tactical doctrine and defence requirements in mind. The warhead itself is light, putting it within our current attainable maximum yield and economising our precious weapons-grade Uranium supply. The more important upshot of this is that it can be used within our 100nm of national waters without dangerous quantities of radiation reaching our own shores.

The warhead is, however, still easily big enough to destroy a small fleet, and the missile itself is also well designed. Kept small and stealthy, the missile follows a sea-skimming profile meaning it is extremely difficult to attempt to intercept it until it reaches the horizon, which is very close to the enemy fleet. Its speed of Mach 1.2 also means it can reach its target very quickly. The N-45 is relatively cheap, and 500 have been ordered (150 of which have currently been delivered). We hope to slowly decommission our old nuclear arsenal and replace it entirely with Mockingbirds and our soon to be released (pending extensive research and development) ICBM. We are currently also working on silos for these missiles, but until then they can also be launched from railway carriages like our old weapons.

The Sharina Technocracy would like to offer congratulations towards the nation of Feline Catfish in developing a viable defense and deterrent aganist hostile nations much larger than Feline Catfish.

Courage and determination shall bring civilizations and nations far in history. We must stand strong aganist those who desire to suppress or subjugate.


Live well,
~President Mina Veristek

OOC: I since stopped caring whether you have nukes or not, so consider me neutral-I left CL's group.

SIC:

We of the Reunited States of America see your N-45 Mockingbird, and deem it to be a very useful item for fleet superiority and Local Defense Duties. We would like to buy rights to this, for USD$1,000,000,000 and an Nondisclosure Agreement.

Jake Featherston IV
President
Reunited States of America

The Commonwealth of Rejected Nations would be interested in buying several of these weapons.

As an great socialist ally of Feline Catfish and a country currently investing money in our SDS (strategic defense system) we would like to purchase rights to build the N-45 Light Nuclear Device. We can make our own uranium for it. We offer you $190 billion for the rights to the system and also $10 billion in return for 200 N-45 missiles.

"Not bad. A bit more expensive than I'd expect, but two of them could probably take out a whole fleet. Still not enough to compete with our Archers..."
-General Homer

The Armed Republic of Overbear expresses great intrest in this.

perhaps we could talk a bulk discount, say, 50 units at, £10,000,000 in value, traded for a like worth of our...biologically unique virul weapons platform?

Your "biologically unique virul weapons system" is completely absurd.

Your "biologically unique virul weapons system" is completely absurd.

ooc: and you have no consept of the idea of RP, and are violateing the rules of this fourm

OOC: OB's right, that is spamming this thread. If you want him to know about, address him in the correct thread.

Could I buy the production rights and blueprints to you weapons.

Leafanistan wonders if the so called Coalition still exists. Whatever, the Mockingbird is a great design idea, though excessive it is useful. We would like to help you create more shall I say "dangerous" weapons. We can also sell you tanks and the like, (OOC: just nukes for an RP sounds boring.).

Telegram us for more information on "deadlier" weapons.

The Holy Empire will continue in it's attempts to arrange a state visit and a possible dinner with the leadership of the Nation of Feline Catfish. I, The Emporer, will personally come. Along with me will be my wife, our Minister of Defence, and the Speaker of the Parliment. We do require though, that a section of an airport be quarentined for our arrival, as we do not wish to cause that big of an uproar amoung your population. We will be in a modified Boeing 777 which will be carrying 2 black SUV's and a black streatch limo. All 3 vehicles are powered by Ethanol Engines so there is no risk to the local wildlife or the environment of your nation.

We hope for a reply soon.

This is a very dangerous weapon. It is not safe in the hands of these nations, please think very carefully before selling to anyone.

King George of Catfish

Overbear: "We would be willing to sell you the required weapon systems, although we aren't sure what a 'biologically unique virul weapons platform' is exactly. I doubt we need it, so thankyou for doing business with us. Would you like to sign a non-aggression treaty?"

King George of Catfish

Roman Republic: "We see no reason to sell your largely unknown nation blueprints to such a device, but we would be willing to sell you individual weapons, or a liscence to build a limited number in Roman factories."

King George of Catfish

Leafanistan: "Thankyou for your assistance. Please telegram us the details of these weapons. We do not, however, require tanks as we are making our own MBT design as we speak."

King George of Catfish

Shazbotdom: "I welcome your delegation to Cattia, although please bare in mind that if it begins to pose a security threat it will be 'dealt with'. I should point out that ethanol is still a hydrocarbon, and emmits pollutants in the same way as petrol, the only difference being it is grown instead of drilled and is less efficient. However, we don't care about the evironment anyway, not least nitpicking over the effects that 3 cars may cause."

King George of Catfish,

We were glad you had a chance to read our request and look forward to doing business with you. If you find the agreed apon terms acceptable, I am quite sure we can dispatch our procurment team with the funds agreed to, and a sample of our "biological Virul Weapons Platform" for you to inspect.

Of note, a non-aggression treaty is something at this time we see no need for. Our country is a heavy provider of non-domestic military talent, and of course the weapons they use. Our goals are not one of domination, or expantion, only our simple desire to be the higest regarded provider of non domestic military assets in the world.

Yours,
Obie Sunstreak

Leafanistan: "Thankyou for your assistance. Please telegram us the details of these weapons. We do not, however, require tanks as we are making our own MBT design as we speak."

Leafanistan will do so, but first we like to push forward our Naval resources in our storefront and our general ability to arm a nation, we recently added a package that arms about 80,000 people, its rather expensive but worth it, its like an army in a bag. And for smaller support vehicles, we have small Recon-Jeeps, APCs, 5-ton trucks, and Gasoline trucks.

Please examine our storefront closely for more conventional weapons, we look forward to doing business with you.

*Location: Shazbonia Air Force Base*
*Day 1; 03:00*
It was 03:00 and an immediate order was given to prep a 777 for take-off. Word was that the Emporer himself was going on a trip but no one knew the destination. 3 vehicles, one after another, were being drove down the taxi-way toward the 777 on the tarmack. There was much speculation on where the Emporer would be going, but they knew not to ask questions about it for it might mean their immediate discharge from the armed forces. The 3 vehicles were new models fresh out of the plant called FFVs, or flexable fuel vehicles and ran on 100% pure ethanol. 2 vehicles were SUV's, the Orriginal Hummer design, and one was a pimped out limosine with spinners on the rims, ground effects, decals, special headlights, bumpers, spoiler, hood, upward opening doors and hydrolics. The Flag of the Holy Empire of Shazbotdom was attached to the left and right side of the front of the vehicle for identification purposes.

*Day 1; 04:00*
A limo stops at the front gates of the airport and is let though. Workers on the tarmack rush to finish up the preperations. The luggage that was shipped 30 minutes earlier was finally put into it's final holding chambers in the belly of the aircraft. No press were allowed into the airport for the purpose of the emporers personal security. There was much stress around the aircraft. The pilots gave a thumbs up to the tarmack crew as a sign that they had just finished up with the pre-flight checks and were ready for taxiing onto the runway. The limo finally pulls up to a red carpet that streatched to a distance of 50 foot away from the monsterous aircraft. All stands still...

*Day 1; 04:15*
The Emporer steps out of the vehicle with his wife, the Minister of Defence, and the Speaker of the Parliment. They walk slowly toward the aircraft, nodding at the tarmack crew that is walking back away from the aircraft. The Emporer walks up the stairs and then disappears into the belly of the Boeing 777. Shortly behind him are his Wife, the Minister of Defence, and the Speaker of the Parliment.

The tarmack crew then rush to get the stairs dragged away from the aircraft by means of a electric motorized cart and roll up the carpet into a ball. They were quick enough that right when they were done, the aircraft started to pull away from it's parking spot and toward the edge of the runway.

Warnings were given by the air traffic control tower to all local military and commerical aircraft, Shazbotdom 1 was approaching take-off and they were to clear a patch for them.

*Day 1; 04;45*
The Boeing 777 was cleared from the runway and gaining altitude. Their destination was finally revealed to the pilots as the Nation of Feline Catfish and coordinates were programmed into the computers so a trajectory was established. Time to destination was calculated as approximatly 36 hours.

Rejected Nations: "How many Mockingbird weapons do you wish to buy, and would you please provide some information on your nation and its history so we can make a better decision."

We would like to buy 27 of these.
Nation Info
Name: Commonwealth of Rejected Nations
Economy: Fair

Rejected nations has done nothing to hurt anybody. During the Feline Catfish crisis Rejected Nations decided to stay neutral. It even went so far as to try and arrange peace talks. The commonwealth hasn't really taken a big part on the NS stage. THe reason for having these weapons is purely self defence from the bigger, more aggresive nations.

Overbear: "That is acceptable. We have little interest in biological weapons, however. We don't see much point in having a weapon that will spread inevitably to every nation in the world, including our own, and kill vast numbers of neutral civilians and military personel."

King George of Catfish

Rejected Nations: "We would be pleased to agree to this deal. Would you like to establish a non-aggression and mutual co-operation treaty?"

King George of Catfish

Rejected Nations: "We would be pleased to agree to this deal. Would you like to establish a non-aggression and mutual co-operation treaty?"

King George of Catfish

Rejected Nations would be honored to establish a non-aggression pact and a co-operation treaty.

Raqatia would be interested in buying 15 of these for defense perposes.

Overbear: "That is acceptable. We have little interest in biological weapons, however. We don't see much point in having a weapon that will spread inevitably to every nation in the world, including our own, and kill vast numbers of neutral civilians and military personel."

Transfered from netural banks into your acount is the agreed apon price, Catfish finds a Sunbear class fast atack missle boat picks up the weapons off shore in netural waters. The sunbear class boats odd sloped sides, pontoon like stilts, and strange flat blackish gray coloration are made more odd by the fact it seems to disapear every 3-4 sweeps of the radar from catfish land and sea based systems.

Green Sun does not appreciate you calling our closest ally 'Facists', especially when Green Sun is in this very anti-Nazi time. Please find some other insult to call them.

Rejected Nations: "Thankyou. I see an excellent future for our two nations."

King George of Catfish

Raqatia: "Such a sale would be possible only if we know a little more about your nation. We do not sanction arms sales to just anybody you know, and our nation is not a shop."

*Location: On board the Boeing 777*

*Day 2; 16:45*
The pilot overlooked the readouts of his instuments and checked the GPS just above his joystick. They were approaching the territorial waters of the Nation of Feline Catfish. And would cross the line in about an hour. There was some turbulance on the way so the trip took longer than expected and that didn't make the Emporer happy. He checked his insturments again and then picked up the intra-plane comunication.

Pilot: "T Minus 1 hour till crossing into the territorial waters of Feline Catfish. Attempting to make contact."

He then set that back down and put a encoded transmission signal direct toward Feline Catfish into the radio mounted near the center of the cockpit's insturment control panel.

*Only FC can hear this*
Pilot: "Feline Catfish Air Command, this is Shazbotdom One requesting clearance to enter territorial area for landing. Also requesting a location for our landing. Over."
