The slavers, the Taledonias were superior to Quaon in every way. Better tech, more soldiers. The only thing that Quaon had that they didn't was this: genuine love for their rulers. Quaon was a self made defender of liberty, the Taledonias were a slave dealing member of a great empire, and the Arcadian Federation was a dissenter from that great empire. The war had begun.

OOC: Sould be intresting i will just post a reaction unless my ships are raided then you will learn the meaning of slavery. Btw i am takeing tals side on this

IC: Slavery wasnt liked by many main streem Neo Zetans however there was no law banning it. So people were allowed to buy and sell slaves from outside the nation. With the threat of slave ships being raided,rich inverstors and normal shippers protested that the goverment make clear its postion.

Message to Anti Slave Forces:
We care not for this however we feel Taledonia is in the right. Be warned if any of our slave ships our attacked we will take our revenge. We take our shipping very seriouse. Any attack will be met with possible force and for sure blockades. Assumeing Taledonia hasnt defeated these 'Freedom' forces by then

Optischer moved it's escort fleet out. The emperor could spare all the ships he needed. In fact, he would send the whole of Optischer into battle.
On his command, all ships joined with the megastructure, and aimed towards Quaon, to secure a new supply of slaves.

You disgust me! How can you side with these war mongers?! I once had respect for the great Neo Zeta and Optischer, but no more!

~~~~~~~~~~Official Communication~~~~~~~~~~~~


The Galactic Empire of Taledonia, speaking on behalf of the entirety of the Republic, hereby expresses it's distate for this hastly made declaration of war against our person.

While we would prefer peace with the Quaon government at this point, we will not hesistate to take action. We are not the aggressors here, as we have done nothing wrong, unless you see things in the eyes of these people.

Therefore, we hereby issue a warning to the Quaon government and it's allied nations, the continuation of threats, slander or aggression of any sort on Republican or allied assets(nations included) will be met with swift retaliation.

Emperor Alexander Kellerman
Leader of the Taledonian Empire
Consul of the Republic

ooc: at which point sombody takes over your nation with a single fighter because you no longer have a defence fleet.

I ask you this: you say that you take slaves from aggresive nations, but surely you cannot hold the nation's aggresion against their children? You sell them! If you can cease from that trade, I will call a cease fire.

Until this recent article, I doubt Quaon had heard of us, and so could not respect us. We are not war mongers, but e just seek Quaon to submit to it's superiors, and submit it's military to slavery as punishment.
Halt your actions now and you shall be spared. Attack, and your punishment is as above. Anything else, and You will meet our new project.

OOC: Ruthless Ocupation 101 if you sell the parents as slaves or kill them the kids grow up hateing you and plotting then you have a upriseing one that can be costly. Best the kids share the same fate as the adults.

An attempt to enslave Quaon will fail. Once the Armed Republic of Zolony attempted to do so, but this action nearly resulted in their destruction.

Best the Kids be taught to appreciate their worth. It would be best for kids to be taught their place, and supress any feelings of disapproval.
May I recommend a suppression tag.
I'll sell them at a quarter of each slaves worth.

I apeal to you, nations of the universe, help our coailiton against theses imperiast slavers!

I appeal to you, nations of all who read, attack Quaon in their unsuccesful attempt to blockade slaving. I plead you to attack they who would corrupt you with socialism, just for a false sense of social justice!

We are not socialists. We simply believe that humans should not have to endure slavery.

Ald Rhun pledges our aid to the Taledonian forces against any aggressors in this conflict. We also request that any unruly slaves captured as result of this action be assigned to our larders or fighting pits as fitting punishment.

I ask not for war, but I am prepared for war if that must come to defend liberty. I ask that Tal ends its trade in slaves, or at least child slaves.

General Ion of the Quaonese military looked at the assembly before him.
"We have several nuclear missiles. If we could find a way to deliver them into their atomesphere while their not aware, we can deal some damage. The trouble is, how?"

Kid you are talking in a way that could easily get you crushed in nation states by threatening war by an experinced, more respected, and larger nation then your own. Just drop and you need not be destroyed.

ooc: His concept is fine. He just needs to go about it the right way.

Kid you are talking in a way that could easily get you crushed in nation states by threatening war by an experinced, more respected, and larger nation then your own. Just drop and you need not be destroyed.
OOC: Yes, I accept that there is a very large chance of Quaon becoming slaves. I know I can't win on my own, but with my colonys and the Aliens of Bendick, I have a group of 500 million. If the Arcadian Federation would come back and back me, we could at least survive the war. If the rest of my region helps me, well, damn it, we could actually win the war!

Would you rather the children grow up without parents? Becoming emotionally unstabble and ending up as crazies when they are older? I would think a sane slave would be better than a lunatic murderer don't you agree?

The Empire shall not stop it's trade of slaves, or it's collection of slaves from other nations that we deem inferior to us and the Republic. Watch your tongue, or you shall be our next export.

OOC: Now, to learn a little lesson. Colony puppets don't count for populations, nor do other puppets. Try to USE these to argue larger population is known as puppet wank and is frowned upon.

I think we know how all great empires fall: from the inside. I believe your people will rebel, because I believe in the innate human spirit that can, against all odds, succeed.

We are aware of this threat to our supply of souls and labour. Any attempts to interfere with our business will be met with extreme force. There are fates worse than slavery, Men of Quaon, be careful that you do not force us to show you them.

Uh huh, magic. It doesn't exist. If you think you can beat nuclear missiles with that, you will be sadly mistaken.
OOC: Yes, I'm acting like a naive idiot, but thats how my nation acts. Also, I have vets who will attest colonies count for something. 300 million men on Quaons own isn't half bad, ethier, if we can get regional support.

OOC: Magic doesn't exist, but in NS, the Warp certainly does, along with all the fun things you can do with it. Also, if you haven't noticed yet, nukes are kinda modern tech. My standard ship armaments have a yield at least ten times as large as your standard MT nukes.

OOC: Yeah, I know it does, but I'm being IC. Trust me guys, I may be a noob in NS, but I'm an expert on roleplaying. I've been playing D&D 3.5 since it came out, and other RPs such as Urban Dead, d20 modern, Star Wars RPG, and many more.

Nuclear missiles, so last thousand millenias! I have technology that would put your nukes to shame boy. Would you like a demonstration?

Foolish mortal. Speak nought of the powers of Change until you have experienced them first hand. For that comment alone, we should render your souls down to their primordial materials, feeding your bodies to the Daemons of the Changer and melding your flesh into the great Firewyrms of our God. Your worlds shall burn by the Life Eater, your cities crumble by Cyclone. You have been warned. Do not let your feeble human minds prevent you from comprehending the danger before you.

Yes, if you mean you would like my spies to detonate your missile on your soil, that is. Tal, I do not seek war, believe me, Quaon can't afford it with the terrorists Zipline at our throat, but believe me, we will put up one hell of a fight if you push us too far. I'm willing to sign a peace treaty if you agree to free all minor slaves.

ooc: Might I remind you all that all children under the age of 10 are in 24hour virtual reality programs? To pull them out without proper protocol would kill or severely damage mental pathways. This also kills the argument that without parents they are bad people, as they never had parents.

OOC: Yeah, I know it does, but I'm being IC. Trust me guys, I may be a noob in NS, but I'm an expert on roleplaying. I've been playing D&D 3.5 since it came out, and other RPs such as Urban Dead, d20 modern, Star Wars RPG, and many more.
((OOC: None of which have been out long enough to make you an 'expert' at roleplaying.))

I, As Empress of the nation of Lessir Tsurani, shall not get involved in this petty power struggle. I will however point out to you the foolishness of beliving in the human spirit.

This thing doesn't exist. Humanity as a Species are evil. It takes very little to know, look around with the Void Eye my friend, we are surrounded by my Own kind, The Thirsters feed off the darkness in our souls.

You have a belife humanity can prove itself just and right...within moments of your Crusade Starting, many Humans have joined their cause AGAINST you. How can any person hold the human spirit in high Regard when such is what is likely to happen.

You will back down, Or the nations that make up your "Human spirit" will turn your nation to dust. This is what i belive.

Void Empress Lonies Pizaros.
Emperess of Lessir Tsurani,
Overlord of the Void.

(OOC: Kazec, shhh! He doesn't know that, my argument pwned him!)

IC:

By Talean, you do not know your place worm! What don't you get about the fact that we will never stop our slavery, and that if we do choose to invade you, we will do so with ease. And do not compair us with mere humans again, we are Taledonians, superior to humans in everyway.

This is a disgusting thought, subjugating your youth in VR progams.
OOC: The following IC is unknown to you all unless you detect my spies.
IC: John David, Quaon spy, had been undercover as a military personnel in Tal for a year, thanks to the Quaon military motto "If they could ever be a threat, spy on them." He had just recieved a transmission from the Prime Minister of Quaon.
"Agent, prepare to detonate the explosives if these war mongers attack Quaon."
"Yes my lord."

(OOC: Ignored. You need to be checked out before entering the Empire, and we have never had any transaction with your nation before, therefore you couldn't of gotten past the FTLi field in the first place without being arrested. Despite that fact, all military personel are checked out to make sure they are native Taledonians.)

OOC: Okay, forget the spies. I'm a little Republic ignorant, how about we lay out what forces we have?

(OOC: Millions. Wanna just start the war?)

OOC: Okay, forget the spies. I'm a little Republic ignorant, how about we lay out what forces we have?
((OOC: you should always learn about your enemy before you just go and declair war on them. Just friendly advice.))

OOC:
Okay, here's my forces:
We have about 10 million soldiers who can fight by ourselves.
About 2 million from our colony.
About 2 million from The Aliens of Bendack
Our main base is on Earth, but we have one other planet we control and one planet that will help us. We have a variety of weapons, S.T.A.R. ships (not good at attacking), Capital Ships (can reign hell) and more nimble star fighters.
Yep, we're screwed.

The (now humbled) Empire of Quaon is sending three diplomats to Zal to see if we can negotiate peace between our warring nations.

(OOC: Your numbers are a bit big for a nation of your size. I don't care what your allies have, I want to know what you have, and with your population(most NSers go with the rule of only allowing 5% of your nations population to be in the military) you don't have 10 million men. Anyways, pay attention to the I.I page, I'm starting a new thread for my invasion.)

OOC: Hold on, I screwed up my math. I should have about 9.5 million soldiers on our home. Thats 3.5 percent of my population of (about) 300, correct?

Could you provide a link to your thread?

Fine, give me a sec.

OOC: Well if I helped, then you won't have to be worried about being enslaved. you'll just be converted into glass by beatiful plasma.

ooc: VR is the only way we can keep them all in line with Kazeci idology. Besides, when they can graduate VR colege before they are 10 then they end up being far smarter and of use to society sooner. (from the modified socialist point of view of Kazecistan)

Optischer would like to confirm any rumours about launched probes. We have dispatched a number of probes into your ships and will purify your population.
