Alright, as you can tell I have a somewhat large and old nation, I believe this nation was founded in December of 03 but I could be wrong, it might be 04 but can a nation really grow to over 5.2 billion in only two years? Anyways, back to the subject. I started off as an MT nation and I immediately joined the New Nations Alliance, that alliance flourished for a few months till internal strife and more importantly a name change caused a loss in our identity and we all just went our seperate ways. I have been rather sporadically involved in NS affairs, preferring WW's, W@W and multiple Earth's to RPing on NS itself because of the massive size of NS. Sometime ago I switched to being an FT nation, I have tried a couple different threads where my nation discovered FTL technology and built its first true hyperspace ships, but those threads seemed to die off rather quickly, so I want to take a different approach, this is what I hope to do:

I want my nation to be conquered by some sort of galactic empire or whatever you prefer to call yourselves. Obviously this war will be somewhat scripted and the outcome will never likely be in doubt. I intend to use BSG and Stargate tech simply because I am more familar with those shows and the ships used than Star Wars, Star Trek, or Dune. I intend to have a relatively small fleet in comparison to the size of my nation, roughly 10 battlestars, some Tiger class destroyers (that would be from the original BSG I believe) some Prometheus Class Cruisers I shall call them (Stargate) but for the most part my military will be land based and useless in a space battle.

So, anyone up to the challenge of conquering a large but weak nation (planet?) and gaining the huge rewards that follow? (my GDP per capita is somewhere around 45k, good for trade I guess.)

War? Conquest? FT Ground War?

Hi there, Chronosia here, your friendly neighbourhood Chaos Nation :D

I'd be more than happy to work out some sort of Rp with you, I can reference previous posts relating to my ability in war if you wish. :)

Can you give me a couple links just so I can get a taste of what I am getting myself into? Thanks.

Alright, I will try this again, since my post from early this afternoon didn't go through I will give this a second try.

I've read the links you have provided and I am satisfied that you fit the role I am looking for. Before we start I want to make sure you are aware of a couple things. 1.) You will most likely win this war (duh!). 2.) Once conquered you won't be simply taking over my nation, rather I will be a subservient of you so to say, while techinically independent and an ally of your nation, I will basically be a territory of your nation. 3.) I will be using this as a learning experience, to figure out the players and ships used in the MT world of NS, learn the RPing techniques and more importantly how the hell do you keep track of which planets are and aren't conquered? There's millions of them!

So yeah, basically that's it. Would you like me to post what I consider to be my military before we start?

Sure, sounds good. Go right ahead :)

Anything you liked in particular? :P

Is it just me, or are you using Dawn of War as the basis for your RP?

Dominion of West Pacific's Military:
(These will be resisting you in the initial space battle)
6 Victory Class Carriers (four with detachable launch bays)
13 Horizon Class Escort Carriers
22 Tiger Class Destroyers

(ground defenses)
Troops: 97,158,331 (includes logistical at a &;1 ratio)

Armored Vehicles:
13,980 M1A2SEP Abrams
37,000 BMP-3's
7,000 Paladins

Aircraft:
3,700 Vipers
350 B-1b Bombers
1,700 AH64 Apaches
200 C-130 Hercules


I know, this is a very odd mixture, but I know nothing about FT ground wars and battles on/around planets, hence why I want to be invaded, it makes it easier (for me) to learn about FT RPing. So if you want to start this by all means, go ahead.
