Breaking News Story from a popular Dynarchist newspaper, The Random Times

In a fit of desperation, the Chaos Tribunal of Dynarchists has voted to send out a cry of help to any nations who will assist them militarily in stamping out a recent outbreak of counter-counter-revolutionaries.

The Chaos Tribunal itself recently came under power in a bloody revolution which has seen many opponents, the latest of which is this group, the Stanarchists, as they call themselves.

When asked about the Stanarchists, Commander Blade of the Chaos Tribunal Task Force replied, "These people must be stopped. They are a whole new breed of treachery which seeks to leach away our very noble way of life."

The self-proclaimed leader of the Stanarchists, Edi Kawal defended his position: "We are tired of revolution! We want the chaos and upheaval to end! And we will fight ruthlessly until this is brought to pass!" He was then seen shooting at a passing car with a submachine gun covered in peace symbols.

Indeed, top political analyst Hill Brahms pointed out, "Our country has been in a constant state of chaos for far too long. These revolutions and counter-revolutions have all been against a non-existent government in the first place!"

The revolution which put into place the Chaos Tribunal sought to instill more freedom into the political process and allow more civil rights to all the people, who already were free to do whatever they pleased. In response, a counter-revolution led by a second group tried to take power in order to make sure that the people were not only free, but were completely unable to have any civil or political rights taken away, ever.

In the conclusion of their address, the Chaos Tribunal agreed that "while it is a difficult situation, the people of this great state must accept that change is positive and, additionally, perpetually necessarily."

Later that night, Stanarchists all over responded. "In a civil war, who wins? No one. The whole nation loses. We must end this cycle and eliminate all who stand in our way!" shouted Lee Norwal, a host on an independent radio station before the station was overtaken by counter-revolutionary forces outside.

The group of Elsburytonian officials sat at an oval shaped table. A data projector showed a map of Dynarcist, several frames of satalite vision were being shown of various street fights occuring throughout the country.

"What a bloody mess," Admiral Tirrell said while going over the intel notes presented to him about the situation in Dynarchist.

"The Emperor is interested in restoring order but needs more information on who the factions are before we proceed," Foreign Minister Isha Moontobie added with a glance over her bifocal reading glasses.

Air Commodore Jackson shifted in his seat, "My analysts say a presence on the ground is the only way we can maintain order in the streets. The airfields are currently too torn up to be servicable to any of our heavy lift aircraft. The harbour is our only option."

Major General Kim cleared his throat before adding his piece, "I can get a team in the harbour with the navy's help, its just the supply lines and maintaining an allience with one of the factions I worry about."

"We will send in an intelligence team in first. Light arms only, no one with immediate family, in short expendable," Isha declaired.

"I've got the team if Jackson will drop them in," Kim concluded before taking a sip of water.

Isha took off her glasses, "it's settled then, we will send in a team to make contact with the factions to establish who we are willing to deal with. In the mean time we will deploy an amphibious assalt group into a forward holding pattern for the harbour offencive. I will tell the Emperor of our progress on the situation. Good work!"

The C130 had been flying for five hours.

After a routine take-off and typical mid air refueling the crew set course for Dynarach, Dychart, Dienarfist, 'oh F##k it' as the navigator had put it the target zone.

They carried eight passengers all of whom they knew nothing about and cared even less for.

"Target in two minutes," the load chief informed the eight. The rear doors of the plane began opening as the eight rose from their seats along the walls of the aircraft. A red light indicated they were close but not yet ready to jump.

The C130 turned gently onto its drop course.

"NOW NOW NOW," the load chief boomed as the light turned green and the eight passengers disappeared out the back of the plane. The sun was rising on the horison but their chutes remained hidden in the deep grey of the new morning sky.

3 - D21 catamaran style amphibious assault ships, 2 – D20 catamaran Light VTOL aircraft carriers and 5 – D222 catamaran frigates gathered at the rally point 40 Km from the Dynarchist coast.

“All decks show ready commander,” a lieutenant reported, “as yet the contact team has not radioed in. All recon flights show the harbor as clear of obstruction however mine sweeping will be conducted at night by our divers.”

The commander grunted at the report, he was more interested in the crossword puzzle in the day’s paper.

Tia Wallace banged the communications device with her hand and glanced around sheepishly at her comrades, an eclectic group of men and women who looked like they hadn't sleep for days and who all wore dirtied clothing covered in the Stanarchist emblem. "Well it was just working the other day," she offered. Finally, it crackled and hissed, and she called into the mic:
"This is Tia Wallace, a representative of the Stanarchist movement. We wish to meet with you and discuss the current situation in our Dynarchist nation. We request coordinates to meet you at and we hope that you can help us finally bring an end to this stream of bitter con---****! what was that!?" A loud explosion outside rocked the building, and the crowded basement erupted in a cacophany of shouts and orders. The majority of the group grabbed weapons and headed up the stairs to fight off the position, and Tia nervously lifted rug underneath her chair to make sure their trap door was still there. "Listen! We have intelligence which suggests that the Chaos Tribunal believes that your men are actually part of our movement, and they plan to act accordingly. The Tribunal is not to be very forgiving or inquisitive; they will not hesitate to take out anyone they see as opposition." She saw the people left glaring at her, shaken and jittery, as gunshots rat-tat-tatted outside. They needed to leave and soon, or else this was going to become a blood bath.

"Stanarchist?! What the F##k is a Stanarchist?!" Sgt Dobson looked at the comms operator.

Sgt Dobson grabbed the microphone “Tia Wallace, Tia Wallace. This is Sgt Dobson of the Elsburytonian Imperial Army. We are currently three clicks north-east of a town named Dowbollah. We are seeking contact with the factions with the hope of developing an accord between the warring parties. Two of my men will enter the town tomorrow at 0800 hrs via the east bound road. Intercept them there. Contact us on 774 Mhz if this plan has unforeseen issues. Over.”

The next day, Tia herself waited in a broken down van nervously, sipping from a cup of coffee. She glanced over across the street at another van, carrying two more of her Stanarchist comrades. "This is insane, being out in the open like this," she muttered to herself, staring at her watch which glowed 7:58. But suddenly she saw them; the dreaded Chaos Tribunal Elite Guard. She swore. Repeatedly. Then she stumbled out of the van and saw her comrades follow, and she fingered the detanator in her pocket. She didn't want to leave themselves stranded here, but she knew there were at least a few friendly houses in the area. She started jogging away from the vans, but the guard members seemed to have taken notice of her, and they started moving towards her. She dodged expertly through the crowd and turned back again to see the guard just as they were passing between the vans. Then she detonated the explosives, sending shrapnel from both the vans everywhere. She grinned and started running away from the scene, but slowed down when she saw a few people in the crowd who looked like the Elsburytonians. She approached them nonchalantly, and bumped into one gently, whispering, "We aren't safe here, follow me."

“These are the latest reports from Dynarcist,” Air Commodore Jackson stood before his peers. The contact team have opened a dialogue with a group who call themselves Stanarchists, what ideology this serves is yet to be established. The 67 million people populating this anarchy ridden hole suffer starvation, poor education and display limited moral values. Why the Emperor shows such interest is truly a mystery.”

We have a fast strike force ready to take the harbor which for all intents and purposes is undefended. We can deploy the initial 1600 marines in two hours. A further task force of 2000 marines will be able to land in a day and the bulk force of 25,000 are enroute aboard 5 conventional troop carriers who are 3 days from berthing. The aircraft carrier Rose and her task force are to rendezvous with the troop carriers in two days time.”

Foreign Minister Moontobie rose to speak. “My opinion is that we will not find sufficient supporters for a nationalist government in this nation. I have sent a report to the Emperor requesting we cut our losses in this exercise and get out before it is too late.”

As these words left her mouth the door opened and Field Marshal Cruze strode in escorted by several troops. “Lady, gentlemen, your council of enquiry into the Dynarcist situation is no longer a priority of the Emperor. Our forces will invade in 12 hours. I am committing further resources to this venture that only military personnel need worry about. Isha,” the man’s steely gaze shifted slightly. “The Emperor is most upset that you question his judgement. My guards will escort you to his Excellency’s chambers for a personal debrief. He is in a good mood, you may just make it out of there with your life.”

“Admiral, Air Commodore, prepare for a full scale invasion. I have called up the reserves and we will be deploying 2 million troops into Dynarcist over the next three weeks. Preparation notes are on your desks, I suggest you act swiftly.”

Drake followed the woman, he indicated to Morris that he had made contact and that the negotiations would soon begin. As they slipped through the crowd he kept aware of where Tia's hands were at all times while ensuring his own side arm was well within reach should this meeting turn for the worse.

"We are in dire need of help, as you can see. Things have gotten quite dicey around here and all over the country. Do you know what your country is willing to do to help us?" Tia Wallace spoke, her head constantly darting around as she sat in a small café, her gaze moving from one bodyguard, to the other, and then back towards the street. She wasn't used to such escorts.

EDIT: till we meet again.

Official Message

Howdy! It sounds like y'all are having a serious shoot-out down there. I hope y'all are able to resolve this thing more peacefully. Best of luck to ya, and feel free to come visit HotRodia sometime.

Drake could sense Tia’s tension which was not helping his own stress levels, 36 hours without sleep and the need to be constantly alert was starting to wear him down.

“I don’t even know what you people stand for,” Drake decided to put it on the line. “Is the division political, religious, ethnic, I mean what is all the fighting over? Once my government establishes who it is I’m dealing with will determine just what our response will be.”

Again Tia’s eyes darted around the room and again Drake moved his hand over his weapon.

“I know that the Holy Empire is intending to establish a peace enforcement garrison, but we are seeking out groups who may be able to assist us in firstly establishing a bridge head and secondly develop a new government.”

“Look would you stop with the nerves for just a minute,” Drake finally lost his cool. “If we are not safe here take me to a safe house or base or where ever is more secure because this spy act is shitting me right now!” Drake’s voice carried a little too far and several patrons in the café’ decided it was time to move on.

“Let’s go now or I walk away from this clandestine group you seem to be representing.” Drake sat back in his chair hoping to God he had not just got Morris and himself killed.

SPECIAL COMMUNIQUE

TO: Chaos Tribunal - Dynarchist
FROM: His Excellency Emperor Andrew the First – The Holy Empire of Elsburytonia
RE: Restoration of Peace in Dynarchist

Dear Chaos Tribunal Representative,

It has come to the attention of this Holy Empire that there is an element of social upheaval still occurring in your nation.

This disruption to normality is no doubt destructive to your nations’ prosperity and it is in this vein that the Holy Empire of Elsburytonia hopes to assist in the regulation of normality in your divided land.

We seek diplomatic contact with your ‘Government’ in the hope that we may better understand the dynamics of the situation we hope to address.

This diplomacy is not a request.

The Holy Empire has vast resources which can benefit our friends and destroy our enemies. I hope you are not the latter.

In closing I would like to reaffirm that the death or injury of any of our nation’s personnel who may already be in your nation or who may soon be will be squarely leveled at the perpetrators and the faction they support.

All personnel have been and will be instructed not to open fire unless their safety is endangered. I trust you will observe the sanctity of my people’s lives as much as those of your own.

Yours benevolently

Emperor Andrew the First
The Holy Empire of Elsburytonia

Frustrated, Tia spoke in almost hushed tones, "Don't you understand? No where is safe anymore. Not for you, not for my group, not for anyone. You want to know why I fight? Because we have no other choice. As far as my group and I can tell, the only way to end the fighting that is a constant at this point is to take control and eliminate the groups that are intent on causing chaos. You see, our country was founded on the idea that change is not only good, it's essential. I know I'm no diplomat, but you have to understand that for our people, we fight almost for the sake of fighting. The majority of our people are constantly craving change and power, and because of our weak government there is nothing to stop them from doing whatever they please. Our problems are much deeper than something a simple revolution can solve, we know this, but we need to take a stand now. You might say we are fighting for political means, but we are not seeking power for once; we only want things to stop changing. Our mission is ironic at best, self-defeating at worst, but we have been pushed to this."

Tia lightened up for a moment, leaning back and smiling ever so slightly, "I hope that answers your questions. I believe that if your country wants to help ours, the only way to do so is by supporting our cause, to put it bluntly. If your country backs the Chaos Tribunal, things will become calm again, but only for a brief moment before the cycle will start up again. Your help could end that cycle."

To: Emperor Andrew the First of Elsburytonia
From: Voice of None, Chaos Tribunal

Greetings, Emperor. Thank you for your inquiries into the welfare of our country, we appreciate your interest and we hope that you can indeed help us regain control of the situation presently threatening our nation. There are several terrorist groups which seek to ruthlessly gain power and we need your help to stop them. I hope that we do become friends in time, and we hope that in the future we will be able to help you as we hope you will help us.

In keeping with your wishes for diplomatic contact, we would like to arrange a meeting with you as soon as possible. A representative will be contacting your government shortly to establish the logistics and negotiate the terms of our meeting.

As for your personnel, our nation is curious as to why you point this out, as we are not aware that you have any troops inside our borders. If so, we urge you to give us their positions and help us make contact with them so that they do not get caught up in the crossfire.

We hope that our talks will be fruitful and that you will provide us with the help that we so desperately need. Our way of life is being threatened and we owe you a great debt for coming to us at this time of need to restore peace.

Sincerely,
Voice of None
Chaos Tribunal of the Dynarchists

“Our nation prides itself on structure and peace. If this chaos tribunal is as evil as you claim Elsburytonia will assist your cause. I will need to consult with my government before we can progress."

"I hope you understand that what ever I say here has no bearing on the Emperors’ final decision.” Drake moved to leave. He noticed there were others watching him but decided that a confrontation here would not assist his mission. “I will be in contact this evening 774 Mhz 2000 hrs."

With that Drake and Morris left.

Several C130 aircraft formed up high above Dynarchist.

The doors on the huge aircraft opened and thousands of leaflets poured into the sky.

They flittered down in a storm of oversized confetti.

As the note hit the ground some citizens bent down to pick them up. In all the dialects of Dynarchist and Elsburytonia the message read.

Citizen, the need for peace in your nation can not be overstated.

We the Elsburytonian’s come to restore order and peace.

Prosperity will follow us as we work together in building a strong Dynarchist.

We will not harm you if you do not harm us.

For God, for Country, for Emperor – ELSBURYTONIA

Article from the evening edition of The Random Times

FOREIGN COUNTRY COMES TO ESTABLISH PEACE IN THE DYNARCHIST NATION

Today the nation of Elsburytonia publicly made itself known as a force which is seeking to help end the ongoing conflict in Dynarchist. The Chaos Tribunal has responded favorably to this action.

"We are extremely pleased that Elsburytonia is coming to our aid. We hope that with their assistance, we will be able to end this Stanarchist terrorism once and for all," the Chaos Tribunal stated in a press release today.

A response from the Stanarchist organization has also appeared. On their website, their leader Edi Kawal has stated, "We know that the good people of Elsburytonia will do the right thing and support us in this war for the fate of our country. If they do choose to assist the Chaos Tribunal, we will resist nonetheless, for peace can only be achieved when this oppresive regime is put to rest."

Political analyst Bill Brahms, however, had a different take on the presence of Elsburytonia. "What many people don't realize is that their country is actually quite different from our own in almost all of their dealings. I cannot accept that their actions here are completely for our own good; in this time of weakness, it would be quite simple for a powerful nation like their own to overcome our own government and put in one which is agreeable to none of our people."

Nevertheless, people have rejoiced at this news, and, as Dynarchist citizen Tim Bornes commented, "there is hope in our streets once again."

The first of the landing craft hit the beach at 2000hrs local time. The marines swiftly took up positions throughout the harbor area as more of their colleagues ran up to take position.

Soon heavy lift ships landed depositing tanks and APC's to further strengthen the task force. AH64D Apache Gunships circled over head while Blackhawk helicopters landed troops at the closest airfield to the harbor.

One Blackhawk landed away from the rest. 10 men in dark suits carrying silver brief cases disembarked and made their way toward the senior officer on the ground.

“Have the diplomatic vehicles arrived yet?”, one of the suited gentlemen inquired.

“Mate I don’t know if my baggage made it yet,” replied the captain, “we haven’t even secured the airfield properly and I suggest you take cover in those sand bags until I get the all clear from my platoons.”

“Tia, come in Tia,” Drake tried the radio again. “If you can hear me I have news. Elsburytonian Forces have landed in the Harbor area of your capital. I have been instructed to fall back to our safe zone but I have been told that diplomats will be traveling out here asap to contact you.”

“I have also been told to inform you that no acts of provocation between any factions will be accepted. Fire fights will be ended swiftly by our fighter bombers or armored divisions. Bombings will be investigated and those responsible brought to justice.”

In a month’s time we hope to hold a forum of the warring parties to begin the establishment of a new government under a new constitution. Order will be restored, prosperity will result and peace will be our reward.”

"This is Tia, I read you loud and clear. We are looking forward to having contact with your diplomats. However, this ultimatium you seem to have reached about our 'acts of provocation' is more than a little disconcerning. I hope this is not a sign that your people are not choosing to support the oppresive Tribunal regime. But in the wishes of peace and cooperation, we shall halt attacks for the time being."

A tall dark skinned man walked into the non-descript room followed by drake and several other official looking people.

“Tia”, Drake was the first to speak he nodded curtly. He was dresses in a smart looking green jacket with grey slacks an highly polished shoes. “Things have been quiet lately I hope?”

OOC: I must be going to sleep, I'll pick back up on things tomorrow... hopefully I'll get some good ideas then too LOL

THE EMPIRE – Official Government Newspaper

Order in Dynarchist

Elsburytonian forces have successfully completed the first phase of a police action in Dynarchist aimed at establishing order in the chaotic land.

For years the people of Dynarchist have been locked in deadly faction based conflict which has torn the heart out of these proud people.

The Emperor says “it is our duty to assist those who are less fortunate than ourselves. The people of Dynarchist have called for help and we have answered. The time of their rebirth is here as Elsburytonia once again spreads it divine influence.”

The Emperor has also appointed former Air Vice Marshal, Alec Ismal as the Military Governor of the Dynarchist province.

The task now lays ahead for Governor Ismal to re-establish the government of Dynarchist using the fragments held by the major factional groups.

“I am pleased to be doing the Emperors’ work in this land. The people of Dynarchist will observe our new order as the only legitimate government.” Governor Ismal concluded in a recent door stop interview before boarding his military 737 to Dynarchist.

Before his arrival came news that 7 Elsburytonian nationals had been killed in an attack by a minor group named the Dynarchist Liberation Army which claims that Elsburytonia wishes to colonize Dynarchist .

The rebels were quickly dealt with by Elsburytonian forces using C130 Specter Gunships, three armored columns and several squads of marines.

The leaders of the Dynarchist Liberation Army were captured and summarily executed by beheading in a local town square before their heads were placed on spiked posts on the main road through the township.

Field Marshal Cruze, military commander of Elsburytonian forces in Dynarchist stated “Elsburytonia will not heal to the demands of groups who murder our citizens or our troops. Order, will be maintained. The Holy Empire of Elsburytonia and the Dynarchist will flourish long after all dissenters have been irradiated.”
