NationStates Jolt Archive

To invade a nation commanded by a Dark Lord of the Sith, you need the following things:

1. A powerful armada capable of kicking the ass of anyone in their path.

2. Counterintelligence efforts to decrease the chance of an enemy operative knowing about the invasion. It helps to have a very good interrogation squad.

3. A Marine Corps that eats bullets for breakfast and normal troops for dinner.

4. A massive propaganda campaign telling the people of the invaded nation that we are here to liberate them from the iron grasp of the enemy.

5. And finally, one very powerful group of people capable of taking down a Sith Lord and his psychic followers.

The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, in my opinion, has all of these. The major issue is bringing them all together to ensure victory over even one member of the Empire who will likely bring others to assist. I'm sure the Diplomatic Corps is doing well on that front.

The core of the armada must consist of at least 50 Coredian offensive ships, including planetary assault craft. Whatever other ships the Alliance can spare will also be used for the offensive. It is also recommended that a Jounin or Master-equivalent rank person be involved in cooperation with the commanders to ensure that enemy Sith do not disrupt military matters.

As for the actual invasion...
And it went on for another fifty pages or so. I, the Supreme Commander of the Coredian Interstellar Defense Force, have been bombarded by recommendations from military commanders on how best to conduct the invasion of Mationbuds for the last few days or so. Some were nothing but overblown school projects, but others, like General Tsu here, were very much to the point. I have already had recommendations from other nations' commanders (you know who you are) as well and found one that is particularly good.

I decided to call it Operation Even Stevens for soem random reason. As for the ships, I pulled up the manifest of all currently-living ships in the arsenal and noted a few things that would make Rommel cry.

Over 40% of 1st and 2nd Fleet are undergoing repairs. I did manage to select a few ships from that fleet that are still over 90%.

3rd Fleet: Engaged with ESUS forces at Xanthal. I nixed all ships from that fleet.

4th Fleet: I selected a few more ships from this fleet, including a couple of those new Immortal Star Destroyers just out of the shipyards.

5th Fleet: I selected a good number of ships from this fleet. It will make up the bulk of the navy, I'm sure.

6th Fleet: Scratch the last post, a good part of the 6th Fleet will be used.

7th Fleet: I selected a few ships as usual. Ninja forces will primarily be used to counter Sith forces, so a few teams have been selected and the Hokage will have to approve them.

8th Fleet: Hmm. I noticed the Dragons haven't had many chances to fight lately, and their ground forces are formidable. I selected ships from this fleet.

Judging from the Manifest, I have just enough ships to follow the recommendations of General Tsu, who I also selected to command the overall ground forces. The Admiral in charge of the space fleet will be Basque Gran, a by-the-books commander who I feel is ok for this theater.

So far, what I have to fight is as follows:

Main Fleet:
ESD Mammoth, commanded by Admiral Basque
Hokage-class Battleship Shodai
Dragon King, Dragon Flagship
3 Immortal-class Star Destroyers
6 Shinobi-class Battlecruisers
6 Artillery Star Destroyers
6 Missile Star Cruisers
15 Imperial Star Destroyer mk II
10 Dragonstorm battlecruisers
8 Nova-class battlecruisers
9 Strike Cruisers

Planetary Assault:
Venator Star Destroyer Intruge, planetary flag.
4 other Venators
12 Victory Star Destroyers
10 Acclaimator Assault Cruisers
8 Nebulon B-2 Frigates
10 Wolfpacks

5th and 6th Marine Corps
Ninja Teams 7 through 10
Jedi Teams 21 through 23
Alchemy Teams 1 through 5

Support ships:
3 hospital ships
15 fleet tenders
10 supply ships
3 Stealth Detector ships

Hmm. I noticed that I selected more ships than recommended. Other than holding actions against the Empire, this would be the only other major offensive that I have approved. Next, I cut orders for all these ships to rendzevous at Sparta, along with all allied ships.

But there was one last thing I needed to do before I send the ships off. Ask Uzumaki Naruto to command the operation....

OCC: tag. When Mb responds I will come in.

(I have people in one of Mationbud's planets so I might as well participate soon enough.)

Well...finally. Something to do. With the Coredians attacking Mationbuds, it was no major leap of logic to assume the Solari would be there. And that they would provide a significant fleet to the job.

142 ships of the Solari Navy emerged from a rash of wormholes at Sparta. Arrayed for war, the massive turrets and heavy armor betraying their brutal nature. It would be hours, even days before they could actually move against the Mations system, but they were ready...

OOC: Fleet structure:

64 Leyte class DDs
32 Channel class CLs
24 Star Knight class CAs
12 Jutland class BCs
3 Montanna class DNs
1 Intimidator class SD
6 Midway class CVs

Mationbuds, the thorn in the side of many. Not particularly impressive in the military department but they should do for target practice at least. For this reason along with others that we don't care to list (it would probably take a whole other thread), Beta Aurigae VII will committ a sizeable number of their currently stagnant forces to removing the above thorn.

OOC: Heres what I have to participate:

Naval:
The Aurigean 16th, 18th, 19th, and 20th Fleets
4 Emperor-Class ACCS
8 Empress-Class FCCS
16 King-Class CCS
32 Steward-Class CBS
64 Sovereign-Class HBC
128 Nation-Class IBC
256 Duke-Class LCR
46,532 Scepter-Class MRF/B (Fighters)
(Total numbers for all of the fleets combined)

Ground (total):
5 Ts'Mri Lords
300 Ts'Mri Masters
2,000 Ts'Mri Champions
The 212th-225th Legions
Infantry:
359,424 Troops

Armor:
1,612 Manned COUGAR Multi-Role Shock Warbot
546 SABRECAT Multi-Role Shock Battlemech

Uzumaki Naruto stepped into my office, what's left of it after the exodus from Jurai that is. "Yo. What's up."

"I have a mission for you. S-ranked because of the threat involved and the length it might take." I said, my hands folded.

"Yosh! What is it?" A sliver of excitement shot down his body.

"Heh." I smirked, giving him the Top Secret folder that encompasses the mission parameters. "You're to lead the mission with Admiral Basque Gran. Take the kids too. Should be an interesting mission for them too."

"Yeah, but what about..." Naruto frowned.

"I know." I sighed. "You'll have to pick someone else. Jacen, or maybe my former apprentice Chris perhaps?"

"I'll take Chris." Naruto said. "He has your skills."

"Yeah, but not my sheer ability...yet." I smirked. "Well. Get the others ready to go."

"Yes, sir!" Naruto grinned, saluting. I snapped one back and watched him leave.

Well, may the Force be with you... I thought.

=====

A hour later, Naruto, his ninja teams and Admiral Gran, who didn't like the idea of that brat running a super-important mission, stood aboard the flagship Mammoth. Reports of allied forced began coming in, and all that's needed is to wait for a few more forces before execution time...

At the Imperial Court in the Phenixican Capital
"ARE YOU MAD? GO TO WAR WITH THE COREWORLDS!!!" shouted a general across the Court.

"It is not madness, it's honorable Mationbuds and Phenixican have a defence pact, it would be wrong to just stand by and let them be invaded". said a Admiral.

The Speaker then rose "If we do help Mationbuds what fleet do we send?"

The talked then one stood and said "The Monran Fleet has finished being upgraded and is ready for all military activites" he then say back down.

The speaker continued "all those who agree press the button infront of you" he waited then replied "65% to help mationbuds, looks like the Monra Fleet will be busy. Send a Tranmission to Grand Admiral Jitrac".

In the Monra system, At Monran Shipyards
The alarm roared threw the Stations as the Ships inside reversed out

"This is Grand Admiral Jitrac, All Monra and Colonial ships are to head towards the Warpgate in the Rend System to prepare for travel to Mationbuds".

He sat back in his chair, The last of the Druk Warbirds and Army guys were onboard and ready. The nuclear warheads and missiles had been loaded onto the Dreadnoughts and the Gunboats ready to bombard any enemy.

The I.P.N Monrak was upgraded. Now it was more powerful then the kathrine (atleast until that is upgraded).

IC:
Councilor Melisha was in the middle of her hourly meditation before she would get back to her classes. Teaching the force to younglings can be such a pain at times. Today was one of the worst, and she needed the rest. Just as she was beginning to unwind, she recieved a very unwelcomed nock on the door.

"Ma'am?" It was General Brishda. If it was anybody else, besides General Verneal, Melisha would've gone bezerk.

"Yes my dear General?"

"I've recieved confirmation. We're going to begin our attacks on Mationbuds."

"Mationbuds... Isn't that the empire which caused quite some trouble for the GFFA a while back?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Brishda, there is one thing which concerns me right now... Why did you alert me instead of another General or Councilor?

Brishda handed Melisha a data pad, "Jorrus's and Verneal's orders ma'am. This would be one of your fist major battles you are to command."

Melisha glared at the datapad's orders, "I teach war, not fight it."

"I am to escort you to the coordinates the Masakis sent us. Whether you decide to go or not. He also said you will be leading the fleet with the ships we captured from the Huntarian Empire ma'am. Durring the assault on Lorita."

"Fine then. Could you contact my secritary? I'm going to need a sub for the rest of the week," she then smiled for a second, "The younglings will like this week. If I get back from this war, I'll have another war to fight."

"Which one is that ma'am?"

"The class," at that, Melisha gestered to the General to follow her.

OOC : Hang on a minute here . You a member of the GE right ? And now you're attacking a fellow GE mate ?

OOC: Yes and no.

Yes- This is my GE/Kirtir profile.

No- Take a look at the RP- Different characters. I refer to Melisha as a Councilor rather than a Lord and she actually uses the term "younglings" rather than "subjects" or "conscripts."

And...
"I am to escort you to the coordinates the Masakis sent us. Whether you decide to go or not. He also said you will be leading the fleet with the ships we captured from the Huntarian Empire ma'am. Durring the assault on Lorita."

That alone should indicate I'm not Rping as the Huntarian Empire, but as the Alliance. And as I said before:

tag for the alliance's responce. Now if jolt would only stop being Brokeback mountain...

And I'm still waiting for jolt to stop being Brokeback Mountain and actually allow me to log into the forums as the Alliance so I don't have to use the Empire's account.

OOC: Oh hell, I’m in this to. I want to get revenge for the deaths caused by US but any Sith will do. I found a way into this thread, too.

IC: The first Ha’Tak of the Dominion invasion arrived at Sparta, on each side was the large symbol (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/CountJWolf/14th.jpg). The Dominion got an invite into this war from their close ally, Coreworlds. An invite that the Count could not turn down.

“Why turn this down? When we can kill the members of the Empire.” he said.

The Count got the fleet of Ha’taks together and an army to be used. Fifty Ha’Taks in total: twenty five battleship versions, twenty carrier version and five army carriers versions. The Count placed two people to command this invasion, two people he could trust: General Dominic Summers, a Prince of the Dominion and Warlock Master Dyami, one of the Warlock High Council members.

General Summers was in command of his own division of the Dominion Armed Forces, the Black Widows. The son of the Count was true warrior like the other male members of the House of Wolf. A man that would use his brain in battle over anything else. Thinking before acting on a move.

The Black Widows, named after a famous army division in the Dominion’s past, wears black and red armor. Their Zoids have red and black armor. Everything had red and black paint jobs.

The bridge of the flagship of the fleet, General Summers (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/CountJWolf/DominicSummers.jpg), in red and black Dominion Body armor without the helmet, was looking out at the other fleets in the system. The fifty Ha’Taks, all bearing the same symbol, slowly spun like a top in the space. Five of the Ha’Taks did not look right, they had large boxes under them. These five boxes house all of the Black Widows ground forces in them, the Zoids and other things. The boxes had their own shields, five shield generators in a X pattern within the black box, and rockets to move around after the Ha’Tak unclipped it.

“Any of Daniel’s ships out there.” asked the Prince.

“Scanning now…” said a bridge crewmen

OOC Fleet:
50 Ha’Tak Motherships:
25 Battleship version Ha’Taks

"How...Amusing." Cabot De Drakan, Lord Warmaster of the Imperium, stood upon the bridge of his flagship and gazed out at the glimmering flames of the stars. He often found himself enrapt with the flickering glow of the almost ethereal orbs, the raging infernos that powered the immense spheres of gas brought to mind the hearts of ancient forges, and the might of inscrutable, undeniable Chaos. At present, as he amused himself by idly regarding the cosmos, he was being briefed by the ships chief astropath, and the Lord Commander of his First Company, Achaeus.

"My Lord, it is far from mere amusement, an ally of the Galactic Empire languishes beneath the eye of the Enemy, the Jedi led by the cursed Masaki, he who slew in ages past the great Emperor."

"I am well aware of the history behind the Throne, my friend, my son...Do not think to lecture me on events I myself was privy to. I bore the slab that took Remiel to his...Premature tomb."

"My apologies, Lord Primarch, my Warmaster."

Cabot sighed softly, brushing strands of blonde hair from before his face as he gestured for his erstwhile child to rise from his subserviant worship.

"Assuming your auguries are accurate..." Cabot's attention now turned to the blind Astropath. "Then the enemy moves with ravenous thunder against an ally of the Galactic Empire. A member, even"

"Indubitably, my lord..."

"Then our course of action is clear...We wait." Cabot let a serpentine smirk flicker across his features. "Yes, we'll wait."

"And allow them to suffer?"

"My young friend, suffering is an art, and like any art it can be mastered. Let the Slaaneshi find the beauty and the message within it, let them draw it out and make it glorious. We, on the other hand, we wait for our moment and strike with such bloodlust, such venom, that there is too little time for suffering. There shall be only blood, from an enemy already gored..."

OOC: IC post forthcoming tonight.

Fleet Admiral Dawson was watching over the Defenses over 1010102 when a message came in.

"Admiral, It seems that Mationbuds is about to come under attack!"

"Have the First, and Third Fleets get ready and get General Veers and his troops into some transports. Then send some of those Zoid things along with them, they might be needed."

"Sir the total forces that will be ready to go can be seen here." His aid handed him a PDA.

The PDA read:

"Impressive. Are there any shuttles aboard this station?"

"Yes, sir. I can get you one now." The aid called for a shuttle to take the Admiral to the Liberty.

On Board the Liberty
"Attention!"

The Admiral walked down the shuttle's ramp and saluted.

"At ease."


The Admiral walked to the tram that would take him to the bridge.


On the bridge the Admiral had the Fleet get ready to jump

"How close is the fleet to getting ready to jump?"

"The last of the ground forces are loading into their transports, sir. Three hours at most."

"Inform me when everything is ready to go."

3 Hours Later...

"Last of the transports are ready to go sir."

"Good. Jump in three, two, one."

The entire fleet fleet jumped to the Mationbuds Syetm which is just a few thousand lightyears away.

(Umm... not to be rude but um, so how do people know that an invasion is coming again?)

"The rising sun always casts it shadows on those who do not know where to stand," said Treize Kushrenada, he was in a philosophical mood. Treize turned around from the bright window and looked at Admiral Poran. "Our allies, according to this last report from Section 3, are under attack. I presume that Grand Admiral Thrawn has already briefed you before I called you here?"

The 41-odd year old Imperial Fleet admiral snapped to attention. "My lord Emperor, I am prepared to carry out your orders."

Treize nodded and sat down in his leather chair behind the great polished oak desk that took up a large portion of his office, where he conducted a large portion of the Thrashian Empire's affairs from day-to-day. He pressed a button on a small panel and the lights went dim. A metal disk rose out of the center of the desk and a holo projection was launched up. A shining red dot was persent as well as several others.

"As you know Admiral Daala is away in the Jurai System currently helping the Galactic Empire will pacifying that planet. Admiral Kilani is away on assignment, and Grand Admiral Thrawn is on special assignment as well...there for I am sending you Admiral Poran, with a task force to help relieve the nation of Mationbuds." Treize leaned forward and place his chin on his hands.

"Your task force awaits you in the Julian System. Once you arrive there from here inform Epion Command and then head out at once. It should only take 17 hours or so for all your ships to be fully mobilized."

"Yes my Emperor," said Admiral Poran. "However, what shall I do for support?"

"Logistics will be run by the 8th Supply Flotilla. Major-Captain Andrews is commanding it and I believe he is more ready at the moment than you," Treize said. "And reinforcements will come as needed. I am not going to expend a large amount of resources for this coming fight, it is trivial next to other things."

"Of course sir." Poran was rather put-out by that statement, but took it in iits turn. "I have your permission then to leave now?"

"Yes Admiral, you are dismissed." Treize leaned back and turned his chair to the left and watched as the Admiral snapped off a smart salute and turn on his heel. When the office door opened and closed Treize smiled.

"Now, onto other things," he said to himself aloud.


* * * * *



Seven hours after the trip through the Redoubt and into the Julian system wore into Poran. He wasn't as young as he once was. He would have preferred it if he hadn't needed to take a small transport instead aboard a Star Destroyer.

When he finally reached the Julian system he smiled. The Julian system had been the home-ground for the Imperial Fleet for the last twenty years. It had been decread and made Imperial Fleet property and to be exclusively by the Imperial Fleet since that time. Here the Imperial Shipyards were in place and the mobilizing zones and repair yards. Everything that required the major fleets of the Empire to function. Here also was the Epion Space Station, the command center for all intergalactic military operations.

"Your flagship the Iron Fist has been transfered to mobilization field 2 Admiral," said the holographic image of a captain aboard the Epion. "Task force Kerridan is at your command."

"Very well, thank you," responded Poran. It took less than an hour later before he finally got back aboard his personnal Imperator-class II Star Destroyer, the Iron Fist. Though an older model than most of the newer versions of the capital ships, the Iron Fist made up for it in being reliable and re-worked to Poran's specifications. He had had engineers add in special components that he found useful in certain battle situations.

Admiral Poran walked through the doors and onto the bridge of the Star Destroyer. "Admiral on deck!" The entire crew came to attention and saluted Admiral Poran. Each was a veteran from a great number of battles and each had full trust in Poran's command abilities.

"At-ease." The crew went back to functioning and Captain Borman stepped forward.

"Admiral, it is good to have you back aboard. We'll be ready to ship out in seven hours." Captain Borman looked positively happy about it too.

"Thank you captain, what does our task force consist of?" asked Poran. He took a seat in the Bridge command chair and got comfortable.

"We have two other Imperator-class Star Destroyers, 7 of the new Venator-class MkII Star Destroyers, 5 Victory-class Star Destroyers, and around 32 Carrack and Lancer-class frigates. Also the Fleet Carrier Quad 5 is tagging along holding the 8th Fighter Corp."

"Interesting mix," commened Poran. "Very well...inform me just before our final check up. We have a lot of work before us."

"Yes Admiral, it shall be done."

(Umm... not to be rude but um, so how do people know that an invasion is coming again?)

(whistles)

OOC: Right. How in the Seven Hells of Corellia do people instantly know about my invasion plot?! It's sheer godmoddery! The only way you are really going know more than "I'm coming to fight the Empire" is the hour I jump out of hyperspace and lay waste to enemy forces. Otherwise it's just absurd.

Waiting for Humankind Abh before I start invading.

OCC: fluid time.

OCC: fluid time.


Umm... what?!

OCC: fluid time.

Wrong answer.

You don't know, you can't know. I know because I have unique methods but I'm not acting on them, so its really just a pretty tag. Regardless, you don't know, you can't know and you won't know until the first ships arrive. K?

OCC: fluid time.
OOC: Fluid time can't help you. Only your own people's reports of enemy forces coming in and wrecking everything Imperial in sight can, and that won't happen for another 12-24 (NS) hours.

OCC: he is going to send the message, so that post some what in the future.

OCC: in the zoid universe maybe, but in NS you can just buy them by the 1000s. same with the Death Saurer.I have 2,000 of them total. al purchased from TAP's FT/anime store front.

I have created an OOC thread! (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=11569825#post11569825)

Somewhere in Los Angeles, CA-

The New Dornalian nation may have been at war with the ESUS, but it was still at war with the GE, albeit on that front, it was beginning to look like a sitzkrieg. But it looked like that front was going to get a second wind.

The Coredian Embassy in LA's Little Tokyo had passed a message to the to the New Dornalian Government that, simply put, they were about to go to war with "this nation" and that thry would require assistance in the future.

The response was an odd one....MacIntyre, who was back in New Dornalia by now, told them that ND's resources were funneled to the ESUS war at the moment. But, they could spare the People's Acolytes. At the moment, the Acolyte forces active were the Shinmei, and they were training.

They were quietly contacted, and since the Shinmei were eager for battle, they agreed that this could work. After all, they were almost finished with their training and wanted to kick ass sometime.

*TAG*

And they are right.

There is no way you could know until you get reports from the front line either through Mationbuds or from "resources" you have in place before the attack happens.

To do so otherwise should get you booted from the RP for Godmoddery in my opinion.

Then you have to get your ships in order and send them in. Speaking of ships, it seems Mationbuds is pulling massive numbers from puppets or other places.

Does that leave him wide open for attacks from other directions.......?

Me and Cw have argeed to disregarded that post until CW makes his move.

OOC: Dominion of Dvsland has given 200,000 War-Robots and 150 tiffany class frigates.

IC:
At the Imperial Court in the City of Phenixica, on the planet Phenixica, in the Phenixica system

A man brings a Robot into the court and pressed a button.

"Dvsland has given us 200,000 of there robots, they are killing machines, yet expensive" Said the man

"Who are you?" said a Imperial Commissioner.

"Spokemen of the Dvsland Council, These beauties are the latest in Robotic engineering. They have to Repeating Blasters in there Hands and a missile launcher on there shoulder".

The droid started to walk and show it could move like a normal person
it was advance but only 200,000. What good would that do?

"Dvsland is constructing another 150,000 and will send them aboard 150 tiffany class ships".

A Admiral replied "Great send them to the rend system we voted while you were talking".

The man bows and with his Robot leaves the room.

EDIT: Then another arrives with a Document and reads it

"The Dominion of Drugactics has donated 150 million soldiers to the war effort".

"How did he manage that???" shouted a General

"They have turned there nation into a sparta wannabe they take there children from birth and train them has soldiers while slaves work for the economy" Said another

"ok we accept these troops, if Drugactics wants to weaken themselves then let them".

OOC:

Monra Fleet being sent to Rend.

1 Standard Phenixican Flagship
25 Dreadnoughts (carries 1200 Warbirds each)
50 Gunboats
12 Carriers (Carries both Troops and Warbirds)

Colonial&Dominion Reinforcements.
BelEsio sends 2,900,000 Soldiers.

362th Imperial Force sends 69,000,000 Soldiers. Plus 10 carriers and 5 dreadnoughts.

Fort Shiron Sends 329,000,000 Soldiers. 6 Carriers and 15 Dreadnoughts.

Fort Kira Sends 444,500,000 Soldiers. Plus 70 Gunboats and 5 Carriers.

Dvsland has given 200,000 War-Robots and 150 tiffany class frigates.

Drugactics has given 300,000, soldiers.

OOC :
@CW : Please do read the OOC Thread for this (Aid Thread) and you would see my explanation .

IC :

The Imperial Hyperspace Entry Point 03 was like the other 3 stations (01,02,04) on increased security and each had 2 Imperial Flotillas assigned to them .

The hyperspace gateway was ready for the 101010 fleet to arrive and were busily preparing new Security Transpnders for every allied ship so that they could travel around Mationbuds space without any hinderence from Imperial Warships or Security Patrols or FTLi Fields .

Grad Admiral Jitrac walked threw the Monrak they had arrived at Rend at the Warpgate.

"Warpgate will be in position for transportation to Mationbuds in 5 minutes"

"The fleet is the largest to be put together in 20 years, I havent seen one so big since we invaded the Qwelva Republic" Mumured a soldier.

Jitrac looked around and saw a Belesio Colonial guard, he looked nervious

"what is it soldier?" the soldiers replied "Im trained for Colonial fights sir, againts rebels and traitors. Im not made for full-scale war".

"Soldier remember you are not fighting this war on your own, The Empire is vast and it's soldiers the best trained trust me in the end you will see that every enemy bleeds...well....except for Droids" he said has he saw a Dvsland Robot being packed away.

Then the Warpgate contacted the fleet "Warpgate directioning is complete. All ships wishing to go to Mationbuds space please enter".

Then Jitrac felt the ship move, well looks like we are about to be put to the test.

OOC: Pardon the interruption, but...

Phenixica: Holy godmodes batman! You have to realize there's no way in hell that anybody with half an ounce of sense would allow even a fraction of that force listing, right?

Same goes to you, Mationbuds. I would have sworn I provided you with a revised fleet listing to work with. CURSE my naivete for thinking you were actually paying attention, eh?

OOC:They are Colonial and Dominion reinforcements aswell.

The only fleet i sent was Monra Fleet the rest come from Colonies and Dominions INSIDE the Phenixican Empire (My region).

Ill change Drugactics donation since yeah it is a bit stupid.

All Dominions are not my puppets aswell only the Colonies are thats why in my first post it toke my awhile to put down Dominion reinforcements since i have to get there permission.

We are kind of Like the Late British Empire.

If you were to look at my factbook it does say what nations are Dominion and which are colonies. But it was stupid for me to think YOU would pay attention.

I'm just gonna quick point this one out... Keyword bolding is mine...

The only fleet i sent was Monra Fleet the rest come from Colonies and Dominions INSIDE the Phenixican Empire (My region).

What you have in your region is all well and good... except for the fact that you can only legitimately use what the nation you are RPing as (Phenixica) is capable of bringing forth (According to NS stats, not you tacking on various adjunct nations and considering them part of the whole, good lord do you even understand how much of a can of worms that opens up?). I.E. All those 'colonial contributions' are kinda 'no'.

...especially since one of those nations contributed 75% of their NS population as soldiers.

OOC:If you noticed i edited one of those nations to only give me 300,000.

Since when was getting reinforcements from other nations not allowed?

I got there permission THEY KNOW im using them so why is it not allowed?

It would be godmodding if all those nations are under my control BUT THERE NOT, Only the Forts and the 362th Imperial Force are puppets the rest are controlled by real people.

All Colonies in the Empire MUST donate all military forces if the Empire needs them.

All Dominions on the otherhand have to send a Military Force but can control what amount.

It would only be godmodding if i got every Dominion to give me there complete military. Which i didnt.

Heck i have another 4 fleets i could have sent, But i didnt since i also have listed what fleets i do have and on my computer i keep a record of my Dominions&Colonies military size.

Like i said aswell i changed what troops of Drugactics i accepted only 300,000 (he did actually offer 150,000,000 honestly)

Heck telegram all my nation within the empire they will all tell you that they have allowed me to use there troops.

It is considered in NS to only have 5% of one's population MAX be military. Anything more than that would cause the nation's economy to collapse.

Once you figure out your military size, you take about 60% to acomidate the logistics of the military. The rest are your active combat troops to man your ships and infantry.

Remember those numbers are high and are close to causing the economy to collapse and figures for any Tech level. Robots/droids/clones also count as part of your population. Anything that takes the place of a citizen at the factory or the front line is part of your population.

Can you imagine what would happen to a nation when 3/4th of it's population was elsewhere? Police forces oporating at 1/4th strength, Firefighters, Workers, ect... Especially when you consider 1/3 are minors and 1/3 are too old to fight. Then the ones that cannot be in the military for various reasons like prison, sickness, pregnancy, childcare, too rich (money has it's perks), ect...

Also, if you send your entire military forces out of your country, you are a sitting duck. Automatics will only work so good and then you are toast.

That is why people laughed when Drugatics donated 150 million soldiers when thay have a population of 200 million. You might want to check the numbers on the other donations before the RP continues.

I personally use 1% for military and 20% of that for active duty. That leaves me the ability to call up forces in times of need that will multipy my military 5X of the standing army. I also can adjust my Logistics to gain further troops by reasigning duties if I need to but run my duties light so I have fresh forces when needed, instead of working them to the bone so I can have parades in jackboots. That is how I run things but everyone will be different.

OOC: Right. I myself could field 188.900.000 troops (~5%), but I typically use no more than 1 mill. Clone troopers and Space Marines (and 10% of the SM's are SM Terminators) I use no more than 50,000 since they're bad ass enough as it is.

The other numbers go towards my Tie Squadrons and my Navy.

OOC: Guys, this is the IC thread. Argue about other stuff in the OOC thread. CW, I apoligize, but I believe you might want to consider just making a new IC thread since this one is cluttered with stupidity.
