Tribekistan
Member of the Confederacy of The Revana Empire.
Population 781,245 est.
Major Religion Islam, Shi'a (72% of pop est).

It was a cold night in the northern mountian region of Kriez as winter set, the white snow glinted with the last of the sunlight. The small town of Lav'at was a border town with Kalador, another member of the Confederacy. And on this cold winters night the town was still alive with people coming back from work, going out and what ever elce one might do at night.

Muhammid sat on a hill over looking the livly town of Lav'at, he didnt understand what was about happen nor why, he was only 12 years of age. His father stood over him, Hassan al-Banna, he was wearing a white head scarf and his body was covered by a thick fur cloak but you could see he wore white robes underneath.

"come son, its time." Hassan said putting his hand on his son's sholder while his other hand held the barrol of the AK-47, the butt of the gun resting on the soft white snow at his feet.

"but father...why must this be done, i dont understand." Muhammid replyed, a look of complete confussion on his face.

"that down is full of sinners and disbelivers, its a town of Sin and Allah demands that it be cleaned. Now come." Hassan replyed to his son, the look on confussion was still there apon his sons face.

Muhammid got up, looking up at his father "but father is it not a sin to Allah what we are about to do, is this really the answer?"

"yes, now come" Hassan replyed, at that point the sounds of gun fire could be heared and the flashes of mussle fire could be seen.


Around the town just under 2,000 Sunni fighters from the Muslim Brotherhood attacked the town of 8,457 it was a blood bath. Police tryed to hold the fighters back but they came from all around, killing everyone. The attack was perfect, almost, attacking all forms of communication in or out of Lav'at, blocking the main roads in or out, opening fire on any cars that drove towards the road blocks.

After 3 hours of heavy fighting, groups went from building to building, killing entire family's in there homes. People tryed to fight, some got lucky other didnt not.

Hassan and his son walked into town, surrounded by the elite guard of the brotherhood. As they walked Hassan saw somthing that sickend him, a group of young men, part of the brotherhood were raping 2 young girls.

"how dare they" he muttered as he ran over to them, grabing one of the young men and throwing him off the girl. The others were about to attack Hassan then relised who he was, they stoped and fell to the floor. "Filth" he spat out as he drew his pistal and shot the man he just throw to the floor in the head. blood, skull fragments and brain matter splatted across the floor, "WE are not animals" me spat out at the others, pulling the trigger on his 9mm again on each of the men. They attempted to run but were cut down by AK fire from the guards. Hassan looked down to the girls, one was no older then 14 the other was no older then 9. His guard rised there AKs at the girls.

"STOP" he shouted, "these girls have been though to much, i want them cleaned up and taken out of here, they will be our messagers." he turned to face the oldest girl. Tears streaming down her face, her clothes riped.

they were both white girls, long dark hair and blue eyes that when one looked into you would lose yourself. The oldests lip was bleeding where she was hit in the face, as Hassan looked at her he relised who she was. The daughter of General Ivan Kree, commander of the Tribekistan Confederate Armed Forces.

"yes indeed these girls shall be our messagers, take them to Raxcored set them free, then girls tell your father of what has happened here. Tell him that the Brotherhood no longer wants the Confederacy here, The goverment of Tribekistan is a fase. The Brotherhood has declared Jihad apon The Confederate Sinners. I, Hassan al-Banna, Leader of the brotherhood will bring allah's law to this land" He snaped, he turned to his 2nd in command "i leave them in your hands, if i find out tat anyone layed so much as a finger on these girls you will answer to me."

"father" his son said, "i am confussed why would you spare them sinners?"

"meny reasons, one that i felt that these filth here were the true sinners not the girls another is that they are important and we all desive a 2nd chance when such a horrific thing happens to one. But most importantly they reminded me of your sisters." Hassan replyed now come.


Wraith, Capital Tribekistan.
12 hours later.

"Raven, Sasha your aive thank god" Ivan said as he hugged his two daughters, "what of your mother?"

"we...we...havent seen her since...." Raven, the oldest eyes started to tear up, Sasha was curled up in her fathers arms, tears streaming down her face yet she made no noise.

"Commander Hannor says you have a massage for me?" Ivan look into ravens eyes.

Raven took a deep breath then told her father everything, she held nothing back. Tho she wanted to cry she didnt, for at that moment she relised something, Hate. For once in her life she felt Hate, true pure hate for this Hassan al-Banna and his brotherhood.

"well your going to your grandparents in Revana, no arguments this is a dangerus place." Ivan said "your flight leaves in a few hours"

He hugged his girls again, he felt like he couldnt let them go, but he had to.

"father, did you find him?" Raven asked.

"no, the 17th ConFed Guard Regiment arrived in Lav'at a few hours ago, it was deserted apart from....well..." he choked slightly.


The Confederacy International News

Reports have come in that the town of Lav'at in Tribekistan was attacked by a fundermeltist group calling itself the muslim Brotherhood, the reports we are getting in is that the towns population of over 8,000 were killed, this is the worst case of Mass murder since the attack on Gala villiage some 9 miles from Lav'at. Confederate sorces have stated that its belived that the same group commited both crimes, the leader of the group has yet to be named.

Fears are grouping that Tribekistan might fall into another civil war, some even say that the mass murder is now bordering onto Genocide. No word of the international community reaction to the latest attacks. ConFed Intel Department are still trying to find out who is funding and supporting this blood thirsty group of savages.

Lt. Henry Lee has 3 years experience as a pilot and if you can provide a landing strip and housing him and his men can stay in your service for at least 6 months. Of course, we will need permission to transport ammo and fuel to our pilots every month for those six months.

[Open Letter from the Prime Minister of The Libertarian Federation of Avisron]

TO: The Revana Empire
FROM: Prime Minister David Kenny

The Libertarian Federation of Avisron does not in any way, shape, size, or form, tolerate religious. ethnic, or other forms of bigotry. Further, we feel it is our responsibility to invest resources into stability abroad, so that secular, libertarian states can grow and continue the fight against this type of intolerance.

If you allow, the Libertarian Federation of Avisron will deploy forces into your region to support the legitimate government and laws. I understand that you do not wish for your citizens to see swarms of international troops roaming their streets, and I have a plan that could avoid that altogether while at the same time allowing intervention.

If you allow and cooperate, elements of the Avisronite Navy could be in the region by the end of the month. Their cruise missiles and aircraft would be excellent for mass precision bombardment of all who seek to divide your nation.

Please consider this offer; and remember that this isn't only a contained incident. It's the frontline between good and evil. It's the frontline between freedom of choice and involuntary conscription into a war that could last generations and literally destroy the system which protects freedom and order within your nation.

A civil war is avoidable. What you must do, however, is keep control of the country centralised. Please, for the love of whatever diety you believe in, do not allow masses of foreign soldiers into your nation to divide your land and people into satellite states of their larger governments which you will find have no intention of leaving long after the threat is defeated.

This is only the advise of a single nation. You're free to make your own choice in this matter. But isn't that what this whole thing is about? Freedom of choice? Do you want future generations of your citizens to have the same freedom of choice you have now? Or do you want them to be divided into poverty stricken colony states of larger world powers which see the very people as nothing more than human resources?

Several Halladi planes, landed at the Lur'bek Airbase a few hours later. They carried 800 peace keepers. It was a small force, but a peace keeping force none-the-less. Commanding it was Colonel Abdullah bin-Mus'ab, who reported to the commanding officer of the airbase immediatly. The Halladis had come equipt with their own transport, S100 "Hawk" APC's, and some heavier equipment -- a few Merekat I A1 IFV's and a few T-15 MBT's. The Colonel had instructed his troops to prepare fore redelpoyment into trouble spots.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The attacks by the Moslem Brotherhood within Tribekistan are 'evil' in every sense of the word, and by no means supported in anyway by the Moslems of the Monotheistic Republic. Though, to be fair and sure, an investigation into the possibility of Moslem Brotherhood members inside of Jagada is being conducted, and should any of these men be found -- we shall inform you as to what they have been doing inside of our borders.

Beyond that, due to the religious sensitivity of the situtation -- due that Jagada has always tried to be the Defender of All Faiths, we would like to send a ship, more than likely a Crusier, to be stationed inside of Tribekistani Territorial Waters for the purposes of mere observation.

The Emperor sighed, one of showing the realization of what must be done, and of sadness. "I want you to send word to the Confederacy. I want you to request that we bring in the 11th Mobile Assualt Battalion and the 29th Medical Support Battalion." His statements directed towards Lieutenant Colonel Johnson. "You'll be incharge."

The Lieutenant Colonel, expecting nothing less gave a short but sincere reply, "Of course, sir." He then marched off to give the message to one of the foriegn pages, of which would send the message to the confedderacy.

Official Statement by the Emperor of Latican, Xion Rien the First

Seeing the harsness of your situation a response from our nation is of the upmost importance. We have had several attacks on our now large Buddhist population, by Islamic sects. So, to show what we think of such acts we request that you allow us to send a small force. This force will be the 11th Mobile Assualt Battalion, and the more neccesary, 29th Medical Support Battalion. These battalions, in total containing eleven hundred troops, will be under the command of the famous Lieutenant Colonel Johnson. We will first move to Lav'at to investigate the crime. We will then setup a base of operations and try to re-create the city.

Excerpt from 21 Dec 2006
Oral Questions to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs

Mr. Rodney Ingrahm (Islington) (Con.): I agree with the Foreign Secretary about the valiant service given to the United Kingdom by those men and women serving in the Royal Armed Services through His Majesty’s Empire and ask to join the Foreign Secretary in the extending of condolences to the families of those Royal Marines who died in New Albion.

The Government has repeatedly taken up arms to defend the innocent from the injustices of the wicked. So will the Foreign Secretary confirm that the Government is intending to intervene in the situation in Tribekistan?

Ms. Emily Deveraux (Queensbury) (DS): The right hon. Gentleman is quite correct that the Government has taken great pains to defend those left undefended by their governments and guarantors when the United Kingdom is in a position to do so that does not imperil the United Kingdom. [Interruption] That is not to say, however, that at such junctures the Government does not coordinate with its friends and allies to allay concerns over injustice.

With respect to the specific situation in Tribekistan, the Government is reviewing the full facts or what few are available to the Government, and will be choosing an appropriate course of action with the full consent of the sovereign government of Tribekistan.

Mr. Rodney Ingrahm (Islington) (Con.): Is the Foreign Secretary saying that the United Kingdom ignores the plight of the poor, of the ill, of the threatened and those killed when it serves the interests of the Government, especially those interests in the polling stations? [Interruption]

Ms. Emily Deveraux (Queensbury) (DS): The right hon. Gentleman mistakes the locales of the constituencies of this House; or should I now presume the right hon. Gentleman serves the Constituency of Lav’at? [Interruption]

Mr. Speaker: Order. Allow the right hon. Lady to continue.

Ms. Emily Deveraux (Queensbury) (DS): The Government has every intention of fulfilling its first obligations—

Mr. Thomas Andrews (Exeter) (Con.): Their own constituencies and pockets—

Mr. Speaker: Order I say once more.

Ms. Emily Deveraux (Queensbury) (DS): If the Tories shall allow me to continue? [Interruption] The Government has every intention of fulfillings its firs obligations to the people of the United Kingdom. It is, regrettably, not in every case and circumstance where such obligations are met by active interventions in foreign states. [Interruption] Rather, a responsible government must act in a prudent and judicious fashion so as to balance the needs of the United Kingdom against those of the world at large.

Mr. Rodney Ingrahm (Islington) (Con.): Does the right hon. Lady have a point to which she need attend?

Mr. Speaker: If there had not been as many perturbences in this chamber perahsp. [Interruption] Order. The right hon. Lady shall have the time to respond to the right hon. Gentleman’s query.

Ms. Emily Deveraux (Queensbury) (DS): Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Government is currently considering all options, including—but not limited to—military intervention to forestall greater loss of life in Tribekistan. [Interruption] However, any decision and I reiterate none has yet been made, will be in consultation with the sovereign government of Tribekistan.

Open Letter to the Confederacy Government

His Majesty’s Government is increasingly concerned with the reports arriving out of Lav’at about acts of genocide being waged upon the civilian population. While the United Kingdom fully respects the sovereignty and thus the wishes of the Confederacy Government in the restraint of foreign intervention in the affairs of Tribekistan, on the behalf of the Foreign Secretary and the Prime Minister, I write to inform the Confederacy Government that should efforts to rein in the violence fail, His Majesty’s Government may be forced to take more drastic action to prevent the loss of life and property.

OOC: wow a thread of mine for once is popular....i should do things like this more offten lol. (english is my first language im just crap and dyslexic (the sily mistakes where for exsample a The should be in the sentance but isnt is due to this) so i try and spell thing how they sound if i dont know how to spell them to try and make it easyer).

Now onto some facts about the Confederacy since people have taken an Interest.

I RP my "nation" as a confederacy of nations that all add up to my NS population (405 million), the Core Nation is Revana (AKA the Revana Empire), its population is 350 million, the other "nations" of the confederacy make up the rest of the population of my NS pop (55 million). Tribekistan (Tri-Bek-is-stan) is the smallest and most unstable nation of the Confederacy and for my planned civil war is Key.

Now there are a total of 8 confederate nations (in order of size):-

The Revana Empire (known as Revana)
Europa Imperiam
Liao Empire
Cadia Republic
Mordia Empire
Mordax Republic
Kalador
Tribekistan

Now each nation has its own Goverment (for exsample the Revana Empire is rulled by the Emperor, even tho he also opens the Confederate Paralment and has the power to Veto any Bill or law passed by them) and are self governed but must follow the laws of the Confederatacy and Paralment. They also have there own military (of witch they must supply atlest 30% of to the Confederate Army, apart from the Revana Empire that supplies 100% of its armed forces). You can speak to the goverments of each ConFed nation or the Confederacy. Since the Confederacy doesnt really want outside troops in its borders does not mean a single nation does not want it, so far ive taken it as each person has spoken to the Confederacy and not the goverment of Tribekistan, that ofcorse will now change i expect (since if a goverment of a member ask for outside forces its there right to do so the confederacy cant stop it really). The only exception is British Londinium who i think was talking to the muslim Brotherhood and not the goverment of Tribekistan.

Also the Northern Lands (the region im in and where the confederacy lies) is about the size of Africa and is one massive Island. At someone point i'll make a map.

I hope that explains alot any questions just ask i'm happy to answer.

"so has it started?" the shadowy figure asked, all that could be seen in the dark room was the tip of a ciggarete.

"yes, Hassan has done his job well. The international community is in up roar, most have asked to put peacekeeping forces in Tribekistan but the Confederate Prime minister has declined all but one, a Islamic nation the Halladi Workers' Republic. She feels that an islamic force might carm the populas of Tribekistan." John replyed sitting on a chiar across from the shadowy figure.

"time for stage 2 i belive, are your friends ready in the national front?" the figure asked John, taking in a drag from his cig.

"just waiting for my say so." John replyed, tapping his figures nervusly on the arm of the chair.

"and the PM?"

"dont worry, as her First Aid i can....push her into doing what we want, i just hope you know what your doing." John replyed, sweat started to run down his face, for 2.5 million Credits this had better be worth it. Otherwise he would be exercuted for treason,something he didnt want to happen.

"good good, well get going and tell your friends to do the job."


Tribekistan

The city of Wraith, a place of beautiful buildings and a good life. Even tho Tribekistans history was never so beautiful itself the city of Wraith had never really been damaged, until now.

Jason walked the streets of Wraith, the snow fell apon the city making the old girl have a colder feeling, trails of foot prints on the pavments. Jason walked along with his head down and his hands in his long coat, to say it was cold would be and understatement, the joys of being in the north of the Northern Lands. As he walked, cars drving by and people walking and chatting away, jason stoped for a moment outside one of the largest mosques in Wraith, infact the largest one in the whole of the Northern Lands.

Jason looked around and noticed 4 others he knew, each here for the same rason as he was. He pulled out of his pocket a packet of fags and pulled one out and lit it up taking in a drag. He then started to walk towards the mosque as to did the other men and a woman as if the cig was a signal, as they got to the big front door 2 of the men ran ahead of Jason and attacked the security guards the other man ran in with jason as the women followed slightly behind. Drawing weapons they all carryed they ran into the main Pray hall where over 200 people lay in pray, kicking the main doors in Jason opened fire with his Colt M14 into hte air.

"NO BODY MOVE" he shouted, people started to scream and shout, the other 3 men with jason ran to the other 2 doors in the room to block any escape, they opened fire into the crowd shooting dead atlest 5 people. "I SAID NO BODY MOVE" he shouted, the screaming seemed to stop still.

It took just under 20 minutes to gather all the people into one place, by that time sirans could be heared from outside. 2 of the men had brught bags with them and inside were 2 C4 belts that they had put on, Jason told the hostages that unless they did as they were told they would be blown up. They were then ordered to bind the person next to them with tap that was put in front of them, each person was then cheaked. They were told if they tryed to bind someone losely or even pretend to bind them they would die. To say the lest they did as they were told, they were then placed in front of all the entrances to the hall, apart from one that lead up to a balcony outside. The doors were then boobytraped with a Grenade and each person was blindfolded.

"Are we ready?" jason asked Matt, the largest of the 2 men with C4 straped to there chests.

"ya ya, the sand****** are all in place. I hear the Pigs are outside then." Matt replyed.

"guess it time for me to speak hey" Jason replyed, pulling up the hood of his hoody so that it overed his face and grab a young boy, no older then 14.

The women tho stood at the back of the room, her face couldnt be seen behind her hoody of her hoody, she stood with a L85A2 assault rifle, something that was hard to come by on the black market since the Confederate Armed forces kept a close eye on there weapons. She said nothing and did nothing but just stood there. Jason looked back at her and she noded, he then proced the balcony with Matt who also covered his face. Matt was carrying an AK-47 along with Eric (the other man with C4 straped to his chest).

As they got to the top of the stairs Matt opened the door making sure that the C4 was clear for all to see and held the trigger in his left hand, also clear for others to see. Jason then came out with the boy in front of him a 9mm to his head, there was a bright light shon on them, the blue flashing lights of the sirans could be seen all around. They were sure that there were snipers some where but he still stood firm. He then pulled up a Megaphone and started to speak.

"Local law inforcements and people of the free world, WE the Nation Front military Arm "Combat 8" have taken over this building, we have just under 200 hostages all muslims. WE give 1 hour for the leader of the "Muslim Brotherhood" to surrender, we also demand that the Islamic filth "peacekeepers" from The Halladi Workers' Republic to withdraw from northern Tribekistan Or elce we will do this to the rest of the hostages" He shouted, the then put the boy in front of him and pulled the triger, the gun shot rang load, blood, skull fragments and brain matter flew out from the front of the boys head. His body then fell of the ledge, hitting the ground with a load thud. "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED".

Screams of horror could be heared from the crowed that had gathered, the police to fearful of the man with the C4 couldnt do anything. Cold blooded murder happened right in front of them and they were powerless to stop them.

When Jason got back down Stairs the girl had vanished, how and where he didnt know. He looked round in case she had moved but he couldnt see her anywhere, "WHERE THE FUCK DID SHE GO" he shouted looking around fraticly.

Revana City

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON" shouted sasha as she watched the news, "In the last 72 hours we've had a blood bath in Lav'at, attacks on anyone who even looks like a muslim incress by 30% and now THIS."

She started to pace up and down her office, she turned to John who looked surprised and shocked as he watched the news.

"Well its clear we cant agree to the 2nd demand, if we do that god knows what elce they will demand. theres no way we can get out of this with out it turn into a blood bath again." John replyed.

"General Kree" she said outload "is there anyway we can clean this up with out it turning into a blood bath?"

"No mam" his voiced replyed from the phone "ConFed Intel tells us that the doors are all boobytraped and they have the hostages at the doors."

"John i need to speak to the Emperor and i need Parlament in session NOW, christ i cant belive this....the national Front has gone to far...." she snaped. She turned to Col. Willson, "I want you to RAID all nation front and combat 8 building, i want the leaders of each arrested and questioned THOUGHOUT the confederacy. Any group linked i want watch...i cant belive im going to have to put to Parlament that the national front be outlawed."


Confederate International News

Braking news, in the last 15 minutes a group claim to be part of the national front and its Militant Wing "Combat 8" had taken over the Wraith Mosque in Tribekistan and exicuted in cold blood a unidentifed young male. We have got word that arrest warrents for the leadership of the National Front and Combat 8 have gone out across the Confederacy and a emergancy session of Confederate Parlament has been called.

Backlash from the attack on the mosque has come quickly as Riots in meny of the major cities in Tribekistan between Muslims and members of the national front, its also just come in that riots have started in Europa and the Cadia Republic capital cities. We will bring more when news comes in.

OOC: first off, your nations just admited to spying on The Confederacy (good way of being blacklisted by the confederacy) second how can you get photos of the people from a sat with out them looking up (you really think my nation doesnt have suck Sat's in the sky...) or even know to be looking at that spot at that time? no offence but really.

To: The Emperor and Parliament of the Confederacy
From: President Johannes Griesler

It is most unfortunate the recent events that have befallen your Confederacy of Nations in Tribekistan. Religious infighting is often very hard to combat and both sides have ample supplies of devoted followers who will sacrifice themselves for their cause, furthing increasing the difficulty. The Dominion of West Pacific has a history of fighting such wars both within our own borders in our early history and abroad. The Dominion would be happy to send advisers to your nation to help you in stamping out these rebels, on both sides. If it pleases you we can agree not to make any public announcement on this matter, should you prefer it we would send advisers in secret, most likely in cargo vessels already traveling near your nation and they would aid you in that manner. Our goal is not to forge alliances or break apart a rival, we want to prevent the useless loss of life. This offer has no deadline.

One last bit of advice, through our own experiences we have found out that just because a person claims to be the member of a certain group does not make it true. Often terrorist/nationalist organizations would have their members pose as a rival to draw heat from the government away form themselves. Do becareful in how you handle this sitution.

The Dominion (OOC: Meaning me :p ) is looking into the possibility of setting up an intervention force to be sent to Tribekistan should these attacks escalate, I have already assembled a committee drawing expertise from Congress, the War Department and the State Department to evaluate the Dominion's own ability to act, would you judge your nations as ready, willing and able to send forces to Tribekistan to clamp down on the violence?

OOC:I was kinda in a rush and I needed a quick way to find out and make a post,next time I will make sure I have time to make a fully thought about post.It is possible to get pictures of people from sattelites without them looking up.

Frenzian Central Command,Freedom City,Frenzia

Reports were flooding in,and commanders sat around a table once again reviewing what was going on.They discused a course of action and sent the following messages,one to the Confederacy,and one to each nation as a whole.

To:The Confederacy and its Nations

We respect your desicion to not allow us to have troops enter your nation,however we see the situation has escalated and would like to make an alternative offer.We would like to send three intellegence operatives,to report back to us on the situation at hand.We would also like to send 2 Crisis Reponse Teams to assist in the negotions .Once again we will offer troops to each nation as well as police forces to educate both our troops and yours in crowd control to help containj the rioting.

From: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nor nuin Giliath
To: The Government of Tribekistan

Firstly, we would like to offer you our sympathy on the civilians killed by the Brotherhood. Secondly, we strongly condemn the attack. Civil liberty, from our perspective, is precious and everyone should uphold it. Such an act that threatens lives and freedom of your people cannot, and will not be allowed to go on. Therefore, we will commit our troops in order to stop this cruel act. We are ready to send in 200 personnel from Special Operations Battalion and 40 Leopard II tanks.

Signed,

From: Buddha C, Fort One
To: Tribekistan People

To the people of Tribekistan, not the goverment, we wish to ponder if you would allow one regiment of our Cnian(See-Knee-An) troops to help in your fight, with or against your current goverment. If we win in this fight we wish that any civilian casueilties be treated with, ill carring, as such things prove to anger the international community. You must understand that civilians die by accidental fire and other such means. The regiment, will be the 91st Cnian Infantry and they will be equipped with AK-47's and a few score of Eagle II armoured reconniscience vehicles. These troops will be positioned in trouble spots and march only on known Brotherhood enemy positions or held towns.

Foreign Office
Imperium, New Britain, UK

The Minister of State for International Relations, Howard Winchester, sat quietly at the head of a large mahogany conference table, the white plastered walls adorned with oil paintings of picturesque scenes from around the UK as well as still lives. Around the table sat several men and women, members of the Foreign Office’s Civil Service, responsible for gathering and collating and some of the group analysing information on foreign governments and foreign affairs in general. On the wall to Winchester’s left hung the only exception to the decorations, a large flat screen monitor, on which was displayed a satellite view of the Confederacy, all but Tribekistan ghosted out.

As one last individual entered the conference room and shut the door behind herself, Winchester smiled and poured himself a glass of water from the pitcher placed at the centre of the table. He took a sip and then placed his glass down on a coaster. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, “thank you for joining me here this afternoon. We are, of course, meeting to discuss the unfolding situation in Tribekistan, a nation nobody in the UK has ever heard of. We need to figure out a plan to bring the country to the public and highlight the humanitarian crisis unfolding not to mention stop the genocide.”

“Well, sir,” one blonde haired woman offered, “we could always prepare a peacekeeping force—and simply prepare them for combat operations especially in the egress phases, as the Confederacy government is loathe to accept foreign forces.”

“Are you saying that the United Kingdom should invade a foreign state?” an older, grey-haired man responded.

“No, David,” the woman quipped back. “I am saying that we should stop the wholesale slaughter of people based upon their religious beliefs.”

“But that does not solve the first issue, Marian,” Winchester interjected. “Before any interventionist agenda may truly be discussed the Oceanian people need to understand and identify with the cause.” He knew part of that to be true; but, more importantly, in an election year the intervention would need to be popular to prevent it from becoming a serious campaign issue—for if the Government lost it would be conceivable the Tories would pull Oceanian forces out of Tribekistan and let the slaughter resume.

A younger man spoke next, “Mr. Minister, I believe that an effective way to start bringing the issue into the public discourse would be by using your backbenchers in Parliament to ask questions about the crisis—“

“Except that lets the Tories use it as a divisive issue,” another man responded—though Winchester had already had his lips parted to state the same fact. “If you give a platform for dissent while raising the issue there will certainly be dissent that will push people away. However,” the man continued, “if you were to incorporate a small amount of such backbench support in coordination with a more pedagogical discourse it could conceivably work to ferment discussion, a discussion backed by facts provided by the Government.”

“But perhaps if…”

RAF Avinapolis
Royal Crown Colony of Avinapolis

It was a relatively massive aircraft, Captain Thom Paisley thought to himself as he stood with his men near the side of the tarmac. Paisley led a company of the 221st Parachute Regiment, which was being stood up for potential deployment to a hot spot somewhere in the world—though just where even he was not aware yet. Rather, he had been ordered to assemble his men at the airfield and prepare them for immediate deployment into a war zone.

Around him were parked several wheeled IFVs and tracked light tanks as well as artillery pieces. His entire regiment was being prepped including its attached artillery, a rare occasion for UK paratroops. Meanwhile crates of ammunition were constantly being offloaded from lorries running a circuitous route between the depots and the airfield warehouses and hangars. Within hours it had begun to look as if the United Kingdom was at war. And so, as Paisley watched a second Atlas C.2 land with a thunderous roar and then looked out over the Indian Ocean where, in the skies above, a line of specks was on an approach heading.

Attn: President Johannes Griesler
Sender: Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
Subject: Tribekistan Humanitarian Crisis

Your Excellency, I thank you for your message, as it has been sent up from the Minister of State for International Relations to my office, and at the moment, elements of the United Kingdom’s 221st Parachute Regiment are preparing for deployment should the situation in Tribekistan worsen. As such, the 221st will be able to deploy within 24 hours’ time; currently the Ministry of Defence informs me they are propositioning their forces and supplies for a massive airdrop but that the preparations will be complete with 18 hours or so.

I would ask, however, that we give the Confederacy government enough time to try to effect their own intervention—however, we should be ready to deploy the moment it fails, which is, unfortunately, the way I see their operations unfolding.

"Don't fire until you've been fired on first." Said a platoon Captain, one Mika'il Muhammad. His troops formed an uneasy barricade in Wraith, Tribekistan. Local police units were also there surrounding the Mosque that was occupied by this so-called "Combat 8" organization. With their platoon was a S100 Hawk APC, and most of the men were taking cover in or behind the armoured vehicle.

Mika'il prepared to make a dash towards the police, "Stay here, comrades." He ran out from cover, towards a police car. The officers were using the cars and car doors as cover. He stopped at the car where the police sergeant was, asking for a megaphone and for heavily armed police to come to the permetre (Essentially, their version of SWAT).

He also asked for a megaphone, and was given one. He then retreated toward his platoon. Speaking through the megaphone he said in english trying to open up conversation with them, "Hello, Combat 8? I am Captain Mika'il Muhammad, of the Halladi Workers' Republic, Red Army, 2nd Rifle Division, 3rd Mechanized Brigade. Can you hear me?"

Tribekistan

Wraith


Jason looked round, still confussed on where the girl had gone it was then when he heared the voice of Mika'il. He snarled and said something that dare not be repeated here, to say the lest it was rather nasty. He nodded at Matt who followed him up stairs to the balcony, matt went out first holding the trigger high for all to see making sure they knew that if he fell he took more with him. Jason then followed, still wearing his hood up like matt, he put the microphone to his mounth a shouted load a clear.

"I HEAR YOU FILTH, WE WONT SPEAK TO YOU, YOUR NOT EVEN CONFEDERATE" Jason shouted, it was at this moment he looked up, a smile grew on his face.

The sound above in the sky could be heared, it was faint at first and unless you were expecting it you wouldnt hear it. But it could louder, the sound was the Hind helicopter that started to hover over the mosque suddenly and without warning its 12.5mm Machine gun and its 2 dubble barral cannons opened fire apon the Police force out front of the mosque.

Police officers and civilans alike ran for cover, Police cars exploded as round hit there gas tanks or just hit by 23mm cannon rounds. The hind continued to fire as it started to hover, then lower itself into the cortyard, when it was about 10ft from the ground ropes droped from the side door that opened and men started to parasail down as the hind continued to fire into the police, all this was caught on live TV from meny different news stations International and national.

Combat 8 seemed more Armed then it was thought, as the men hit the ground the worked as a combat team and as if they had training.....vary good training. A total of 8 men and women had landed from the hind, moveing fast to the door as the hind started to take off still fireing into hte crowd. The new terrorist opened fire on the few police officers inside the building around the doors, then under cover throw the wounded and dead police officers out the front door, shutting it and blocking it up and booby traping it.

While this was happening Jason had jumped into the door and ran down the stairs, as he burst into hte main pray room where all the hostages were he shouted. "CLEAR THAT DOOR" pointing to the main door near the front.

Eric and Gabriel ran over to the door, throwing the hostages aside and disarming the grenades at the door, slowly Eric opened the door with Gabriel standing behind with his AK rised and ready to fire. When they opened the door, 8 people in Kavlar vest, carrying L85A2's stood there. Each of the people wore black, there faces covered by black balaclvers, tho it could be seen that under them were com devices and on the Vests they had 3 grenades (1 Flashbang 2 Frags), 2 down the left side and one down the right, a 9mm pistol hoster (with pistol) around there waist. Aswell as combat knife at the lower back, they looked more like Cadian Special Forces rather then terrorist, as much as the CSF was feared across the Confederate it they were not likely to be working for Combat 8. Tho it was also not uncommon for ex Cadian Special force personel who have left to become Mercs, that is what Eric thought anyway.

The 8 armed persons walked into the pray hall, looking around until what must have been the leader spotted Jason. He turned to the others, 2 of whome were carrying large dufflebags over there sholders. "3 and 4 sweep though the the upper levels of the mosque, 5 and 6 sweep though the ground floor. 7 and 8 once team one and team two give the all clear set up the charges i want this place ready to blow within the hour understand."

"YES SIR" the voices shouted back in unison, some were infact female.

One carryed on walking towards jason as the rest of the team moved out, apart from what jason could only assume was "Two".

"Well kid you did well" One said in a harsh Revanian Voice, "you can call me One, i takeing over from here. You ofcorse will still be the voice of this group and your friend will be by your side." he trailed off as he looked round the room, he only counted 4 people includeing Jason. "wheres your Fith?"

"i dont know, she sliped away when this all started" Jason replyed.

"She....oh...oh i see..." One chuckled "shes not changed a bit"

"No i havent" her voice sounded behind One and Two.

"your ment to be dead" One replyed.

"And your late" she snaped back, her hood was up and carryed on walking towards Jason and the other 2.

Tribekistan Senate/Presidental Home

Antun Sa'adah, Presidant of Tribekistan was pacing his office, things were getting out of hand vary quickly and some of his Cabinet, infact most were pushing for something that could brake Tribekistan into a war with the Confederacy. His Vice Presidant Tareq al-Hashemi, was in the room with him at the time.

"What im being pushed to do is Illigal in the eyes of the Confederacy, without a populas demand or anything of the sort we are brakeing the law." Antun said, still pacing up and down the room.

"Yes but it might be our only wayout." Tareq replyed sitting down infront of the fire, the chair faceing the fire and his backtowards Antun.

"Yes, out of the frying pan and into the fire. If we break away the Confederacy would walk right in here, Shit they have 2 Regiments of The ConFed Guard here, aswell as Special forces and the 3rd Air wing, thats got the 2nd and 8th Fighter squadrens then 3rd Bomber Squadren and the 7th fighter-bomber Squadren. Thats 96 aircraft, we have nothing that can mach the skill of the Confederate pilots. On top of that the armed forces we have supplyed to the Confederate Military are stationed outside Tribekistan for this vary reason." Antun replyed, "if we go ahead with this we would need help and i cant see the Confederacy being to happy with that. Let alone the Chemical weapons we know there more then happy to use on our military assests"

"yes i know it sees bad...."

"SEEMS BAD, dont you understand, they have over 5,000 Well train LOYAL troops within our borders. With whats going on out there right now WE DO NOT need to be at war at the same time. NO i will not do it, i will not Plunge us into a war for no reason other then others gain." Antun snaped, he wasnt happy and he wasnt going to pushed around.

"Careful President, your a good friend but we all know things can happen to Presidents...and in this time and place who knows if who ever did such a thing would be cought with so meny others to take the blame." Tareq Stood up and started to leave the office.

"Is that a threat?"

"treat it as you will Antun...its your choice." At that Tareq left the room, Antun was shocked.

After that talk he sent a message to the Emperor of Revana and to the Prime minister of the Confederacy, telling them of what was happening within his own goverment and that he feared for his own life and for the fate of the Confederacy. It was the last thing he would do that night....infact the last thing he would do ever.

Confederate International News

These pictures have come in moments ago, a Hind Gunship has opened fire apon the police force around the wraith Mosque, its estermated that 29 officers have been killed, 19 wounded. Civilians deaths are not confirmed, its reported that atlest 31 have been wounded from high calibar machine gun fire and shrapnal.

Just in that 8 Armed men entered the building, killing 8 more officers and wounding 6 more. the wounded are currently being airlifted to Wraith MEdical university Hospital aswell as other hospitals in the area. Its unclear as the moment how a armed helicopter sliped though the Tribekistan Radar, reports are coming in from unconfrmed scorces that there may have been a Sabator within the Tribekistan Self-Defence Airforce who disabled the system over wraith to allow the hind to slip and then out, Jets were scrabled but were to late.

Reports coming in now that Confederate CSF units from the 7th Infentry Regiment (ConFed Guard) have been ordered to take over operations at the hostage site, Jets have been scrabled over the sit and the airspace in and around Tribekistan have been closed to all but Confederate Military Airforce and Escorted Halladi aircraft, Reports state that Pilots have been given the Shoot To kill order. AS meny know this orders means that no warning will be given to any aircraft within the no fly zone.

In other news, Race Riots continue across meny Confederate Capitals, its belive this was a planned effort by the national front and other Far right wing groups. We are to hear from the Emperor and the Prime Minister shortly.

OOC: to all people who have sent message, just to let you know im not ignoreing you. As you might tell anyone who has sent a message to the tribekistan goverment wont get a reply (since the President is about to be killed in my next post), and other messages i just can think of a reply. I have no problems people placing ships outside my national waters (10 miles out from coast), if you want to know what nations are near the coast TG me and i will let you know.

If theres anything ive missed Just TG me or tell me here.

Frenzian Central Command,Freedom City,Frenzia

Frenzian Commanders found themselves in a place that was becoming all too familiar as of late.They were sitting in the war room,once again diving through documents and photos and watching the news broadcast of the Hind shooting at the police.As the men rifled through the papers they all thought about the same thing,right now there was nothing they could do about it.They would continue to monitor the situation however,if at sometime their help was needed they would be willing to give it.

Hearing the Hind helicopter, the Halladis had assumed it was backup. Mika'il look up, with a smile, but then his face turned to sheer horror. The helicopter gunship opened fire on the police. One Halladi was killed, and three were wounded. The men piled into their transport, one man came up from the top hatch and began unloading on the helicopter with the 10mm HMG-1T on the transpor, as the vehicle turned on in a moments notice and began speeding away. The man was injured as the APC escaped destruction.

Meanwhile, at Lur'bek Airbase, Colonel Abdullah bin-Mus'ab was astounded to hear the news. He met with Mika'il later that day.

"Comrade, please come in," the Colonel said, as Mika'il appeared at his temrporary office. The Captain took a seat at Abdullah's desk. "I'm am sorry for the loss of your trooper, comrade Captain."

Mika'il half smiled, "Yes, thank you, comrade. Private Abdel-Aziz was well-liked amongst his comrade-soldiers."

"I'm sure," answered the Colonel, proffessionally. "Comrade Captain, I have called you here because I would like to hear what happened from you, before I read your typed report. I find things are much more clear this way."

"Certainly," responded Mika'il, who went on to tell the event in as great depth as he could recall. After that was finished, based on the happenings several requests were sent into the Halladi Ministry of Defense and War. The Colonel requested 200 more troops, from a fully armoured brigade, as well as more anti-aircraft weaponry and a squadron of SKA helicopters or planes from the Red Air Force.

ANN Nightly News, Live from Wraith
The news reports filtered in over ANN; a female reporter in a white suit with above shoulder length dark red hair; and creamy coloured skin was stood on screen a scene behind her of the Wraith Mosque. The police cars were there with officers ducked behind their car doors for cover and a Military APC was parked up as an Arabian man talked out of the megaphone.

"Hello, I'm Andrea Grey; Live at the Crime scene for Animarnia News Network; I'm here with Police Captain Mohammed Al-Bahshir from the Tribekistan Police Department, Captain Bahshir, what can you tell me about the siege?" Andrea asked moving the microphone over to the man in uniform.

"Very little at this time; they have declared themselves as Combat 8, a Subsidiary of the national front; they have taken an unknown number of hostages and barricaded themselves inside, one hostage as already been executed. These men are extremely dangerous" the Captain answered.

"What does the Police department plan to do at this time; have the Hostage takers made any demands?" Andrea asked as the Captain stared off into space seemingly at the sky.

"I'm not at liberty to discus our plans at this time" the captain replied.

"As Race conflicts continue to escalate all over the Confederacy what is your advice to citizens of the confederacy?" Andrea pushed.

"Stay inside, lock your doors and remember just 'cos some whack-job decides to commit crime doesn’t condemn all people of any particular faith" the Captain answered.

"Captain…." Andrea was interrupted by the sounds of a helicopter engine as it came down and hovered; the Camera man shifted his viewfinder to focus on the HIND Gun ship a few seconds before it opened fire.

"OH MY GOD"

"AHHHH"

Screams and cries were heard all over the scene as bullets were spat out over the crowd tearing apart flesh and bone; covering the scene in blood as the camera shakes Andrea, the Captain and Camera man run for cover. Several explosions are heard off screen as well as some shown ahead. Suddenly Andrea screams as the car there hiding behind is peppered with 20mm bullets and the Camera drops to the floor and the image rolls heavily.

"DAVE!" Andrea Yells the camera laying on the floor she picks it up panning it over Dave's body as blood pours out of him. "OH MY GOD!" GET A MEDIC!" GET A F*CKING MEDIC!" she yelled panning the Camera around to show the Police captain also laying on the floor dead blood splattered over the car bonnet like a fine red paint; the captains body armour having no hope of standing up to the high calibre weapons. Andrea Pans the Camera around to show the devastation of possibly hundreds wounded or dead.

The feed abruptly cuts off and returns to the studio where the female anchor looks on shocked as another male colleague vomits over his script. "We'll…bring you the latest news on the Tribekistan Siege as it develops…and an update on Dave Ronald's condition as soon as we have any news.

(A Glorified Tag)

Persepolis Palace

"Shahanshah, you wish to throw your support behind Islamists? With all due respect, does this not contradict our foreign policy?" Shah Khosru smiled as he finished his cigar, "Not at all, Foreign Minister, it complements it. Once we lend our support to the Muslim Brotherhood, they will destabilize the whole of Tribekistan, creating sectarian warfare between Sunni and Shi'a, which will result in a massive refugee crisis as people flee their homes. Then, looking totally innocent, we can throw in our forces, occupy the nation, and claim we are bringing order while at the same time giving the entirety of the mineral wealth to Parthian companies and myself to profit off."

The Shah let loose a smile as the uniformed minister nodded, then spoke, "Utterly brilliant Shahanshah, how do we support the Muslim Brotherhood then?" The Shah paused, "Let around 1500 Azeri Sunnis enter the country under the auspices of being foreign Jihadis, bankroll them to purchase equipment from Parthian arms dealers, then drop them into the country, while also shipping in weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood via third countries. If it works right, we will push the foreigners out of Tribekistan, then allow ourselves the oppurtunity to make a lot of money."

Esfahan Airport

1500 Azeri commandos, ex Parthian Special forces, ostentensibly working for no one but the movement of Jihad were being prepared. They had a multitude of equipment with them, air droppable AGS and APCs among them, but also gear that would be ferried in later for the Muslim Brotherhood. They simply awaited the order from their real commander, then they would strike out, fighting the enemy in a special operation designed to undermine a government for a purpose they were not themselves sure of.

OOC: I need some assistance in determining how I'm going to go from here, generally, I'd like to know if there are any insurgent controlled areas, and if possible, if there is a map of Tribekistan, perhaps, demonstrating where I could possibly airdrop things without being detected.

OOC: well Tribekistan is pritty much in the center of The Northern Lands 3 most powerful nations (revana Empire, Europa Imperial and the Liao Empire) with Kalador to its North, the Muslim Brotherhood is working in the Northern Mountain Region that runs into Kalador (who call it the Southern Mountain Region). Since its winter its vary vary cold (and its also about the size of the alps), to get to the Tribekistan from Air is at the moment vary hard (since you have to fly though the airspace of 1 of the most powerful nations or Kalador who are at the moment at high alart with a no fly zone in Tribekistan), Its also about the size of Nigeria. The only way to get some force in with out one noticeing is to land in one of the 4 bordering nations (be it at the coast, attempting a fly in with a plane etc) then going by land to Tribekistan.

Wraith, 1hour 20 minutes after hostages taken

"Times up...time to get another one of these sand****** to die" Jason said with joy in his voice, One and Two were over the other side of the pray room talking to he woman not taking any notice what so ever to Jason.

Matt on the other hand had just grabed one of the hostages who had started to mumble in Arabic, most likely praying matt didnt know or care.

"shut up filth" matt snaped but the hostage didnt stop so matt drop him and slamed the butt of his gun into the mans gut. It made him fall to the floor, he was fighting back the tears of pain but he carryed on to pray. Matt did it again, yet the man didnt stop.

"Leave him, its getting whats coming." Jason said as he walked over, "lets go."

They took the man up the stairs onto the balcony, the same again as matt wetn out first holding the triger. As they looked outside they saw the smoking ruins of cars and other automobiles, the crowds had been pushed futher back and now military personal were out front aswell as SWAT police. Jason smiled, he was enjoying this to much.

"AS OUR DEMANDS HAVE NOT BEEN MET I WILL SHOW YOU WE'RE NOT JOKING" he shouted into the megaphone. He put hte megaphone to he mans mouth, his wimpering could be heared by all, then the load bang of Jasons 9mm fireing. Again he droped the lifeless body over the age, hitting the ground with a louder thud.


7th Infentry Regimental Command, outside the hostage site

"Have you got a clear shot team alpha?" colonel anderson said over the radio.

"yes sir" a voice replyed from the radio.

"Bravo have you got a clean shot?" Anderson asked.

"Yes sir" a female voice replyed.

"Take yur shots, these bastards are not getting away with this." Anderson ordered.


Alpha team, a pair of snipers on a building that had a clear line of sight of the balcony, lay waiting. Andria (L/Cpl) was the sniper, she had a perfect shot at Jasons head, as he fired on the hostage she took her shot. the bullet hit, the back of Jasons Head exploded as the .338 round riped though. His body drop to the floor.

Bravo team was also a sniper team on the same building, there target was Matt, Ray (L/Cpl) was the sniper and she to had her target in site, when Alpha fired so did she, tho her target was not Matts head. She had shot at his Wrist, when she fired she took his hand clean off, matts hand was still clenched tight around the trigger asit hit the floor, it then droped the trigger as Matt exploded on the balcony taking it and a large part of the stiarwell away tho no other deaths were corsed.


Inside the Mosque

One heared the explodion and the dust coming from under the door to the balcony. "SHIT" he shouted, "all teams report in. Whats the Status of the misison"

"this is team Beta (3-4) top level cleared and 7 has finished placing the charges." A voice came over the com system.

"This is team Charile (5-6) Lower level ceared and 8 has almost finished placing all the charges, Escape route is clear also." another voice said over the com system.

"And i have the item" the woman said from behind One "tho we wont have long i think its best to get on the move"

"right" one replyed nodding to two.

Each of them worked over to the other "terrorists", pulled out there side arms and shot each of them in the head. "This is One to all teams, move to Evac point alpha get to the sawer systems we've leaving."

7th Infentry Regimental Command, outside the hostage site

"ALL TEAMS GO GO GO" The colonal shouted.

At that squads of Infentry moved in to storm the mosque, the first team to ge to the front door kicked it in, just then the grenades Exploded as half the squad were thrown back. screams and shouts from the wounded could be heared.

"MEDIC" 2nd Lt Telic shouted "fucking new colonal, why the fuck didnt he get decent Intel first." he muttered as he held onto a wound from one of his privates who laying on the floor in a pool of his and others blood, his right arm completely riped off.

"SIR IT HURTS, OHH GOD" he young solider shouted, tears running down his face, "Sir if i die...tell .....my wife..i l..love...her"

"dont you die on me god dam it im not the dam messager." Hix replyed.

"Sorr..y si..sir, ofcorse...sir...dont...die...got it...fucking hell it hurts" the soilder shouted the last bit as a medical team ran over slapping him with morphine and plugging the wound.

"This is 2nd Lt Telic to all Squads of 2nd Platoon, Move with care this place is boby traped." he said over the radio.

He got up as the medics took the wounded solider away, clocking his rifle and nodding his head to the others.

"LETS MOVE" he shouted.


Northern Tribekistan, Unknown Location

Hassan had lost his son, they were separeted during a battle with a CSF Company, he had lost 6 men out of the 30 he was travaling with and another 10 including his son got seperated. The snow had started to fall heavyer in the past hour but they carryed on, they had to with CSF on there tail, they were a few miles from the border to Kalador hoping to get to there base in southern Kalador, But with so meny CSF and other special forces now in the mountains it was hard.

"Dam Cadians" he muttered "have we got news from any of our brothers?"

"yes Hassan, they have spoted a force from some other country, Arabs...traitors. theres a small force around 20-30 men moving though Itan'bel Village 2 miles east of here. Our borthers are gathering a force to attack them as we speak." his 2nd in command replyed.

"vary well, get the men we're moving east to attack these traitors...any word of Muhammid?" he asked, his voice was less harsh when he spoke his sons name.

"no...ive sent some of our best trackers to find hte group but...nothing yet."

Itan'Bel Village

20 men from the Halladi peacekeepers were being lead by a squad (12) Conferate Guardmens, commanded by SSgt Kim Trugovski. She didnt like the job of "baby sitting" as she called it but with a recent sighting of Brotherhood rebals in the area had made the locals jumpy and to make things worse the locals started to think the Halladi troops were the brotherhood. So to carm them her squad was put in the patrol group of the halladi troops, she tryed to act as if she was in command of the whole thing but she wasnt and the commanding officer of the Halladi knew this, but to keep this civil he played along.

The troops had been droped in by Helicopter from Lur'Bek but since the snow storm was getting worse there wouldnt be a pickup till sun up, what was worse was the radio's not working. The troops were at the time walking though the center of the viliage, the stone houses covered in snow and the road was covered with a ft of snow.

"Shit sgt, my Termal cant see shit and NV is worse and im freezeing my balls off." Cpl Robinson said, walking along in the snow, the Black Trench coat covered it white dots of snow, his L85A2 carryed in his arms. He was wearing the normal Cold weather combat dress, the grayish white Camo colour.

"i know, we need to find some where to stay...fucking hell where are the people." SSgt Kim wasnt likeing what was going on, the viliage was empty and had been since they had got there an hour or so ago. It as only when the wearther started getting bad that they started to move deeper into the villiage. There were signs of some kind of battle but no bodies, there was blood but no bodies. There were reports from meny patrols in the northern Mountains of whole towns vanishing in this same manor.

As they got to the center of the viliage it was still empty, they didnt have a choice but to make camp. She looked round, infront of them was the Main Mosque across the square was a small church, she carryed on looking round at the houses and the main road coming in from the east and crossing the squar coming out to the south west.

"We need to set up a defencesive postion, i dont like this at all...." she started to speak to Cpl robinson and the CO of the Halladi troops, when she stoped, in the few seconds of scilence she heared it, the whisleing sound of a shell of somekind.

"TAKE COVER" she shouted as Morter rounds started to land into the square, explodsions kicking off and shaking the ground. Dust and rubble kicked up into the air, a few men screaming, the troops were round for cover, meny from the ConFed troops broke into the church with a few Haladi troops. Others took cover behind walls or inside houses, scattered across the square, the sound of gun fire kicking in as Brotherhood fighters started to attack from the east. It was a ambush...at the worse tme.

Mika'il and his platoon were on duty again, being led by a group of Conferate Guards. Captain Muhammad was forced into a church by mortar fire. He got back up, after having dived into the building.

"Dawud! Abdel!" He yelled the names of his platoons sniping team, "Into the church tower."

Mika'il yelled some more things in Arabic, telling his men inside the Church to form a defensive perimetre inside the building inside the building, and set up a machine gun nest. He and the other machine gun team made a dash across the main square to the Mosque which was occupied by a few Halladis and Confederates. He rallied his men into the Mosque and some into the Church, where a machine gun nest was set up in the minaret. Two of his men had already been injured, one in the leg from a bullet and the other was hit by shrapnel and being attended to by the platoon's medic in the church.

We are pleased to see you would be willing to throw your support behind this course of action should it occure, however some problems have arisen that we believe requires much consideration. Tribesitan is surrounded by nations of the Confederacy, in order to get forces within Tribekistan we would almost certainly have to fight our way through one of those nations, this unfotunately is not a proposition to be taken lightly and it may be too costly for the Dominion. Given certain... budget shortfalls, over the last three decades are armed forces are not in a position to be fighting over extended distances. Our air force is top notch but unfortunately Tribekistan is outside the normal operating range of a majority of our aircraft. If we are going to follow this path my government would find it preferable to assemble a coalition of nations to take part rather than just our two nations.

Currently, His Majesty’s Government is reviewing possible methods of inserting ground forces into Tribekistan to intercede in the ongoing genocide. However, the United Kingdom is in a similar position to that of the Dominion; the RAF is currently undertaking actions in another theatre of operations that is straining the long-distance transport and support units. A similar operation into Tribekistan is currently considered beyond the scope of the United Kingdom.

Thus, the Prime Minister is in agreement with your conclusion that it would be advisable to assemble just such a coalition of nations—as the weaknesses of our two armed forces have no complements in the other to make up for the shortfalls.

For the moment, the United Kingdom is willing to standup a carrier group comprised of three carriers, two dreadnoughts and various supporting ships. However, given the nature of Tribekistan as a land-locked country His Majesty’s Government are leery of what real support such a taskforce could provide.

Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs

Tribekistan, Northern Mountains.
2 miles south east of Kaladorian Border.
4 Miles West of Itan'Bek Village.

The Northern Mountains was suffering from one of the worst snow stroms in years, it was the coldest it had ever been and this made things worse. All air traffic in the area was on hold, it was impossible to fly anywhere and it was made worse with some lose of communication with patrols and the special forces. Some had manage to radio in and arrange a pick up by land but Easy Company, 2nd Platoon, Cadian Special Air Service (CSAS) Regiment, were not so lucky.

Lt Winter was setting up camp in what they hoped was a Defensive postion, they were working on putting up Tents and Setting Flare traps. Winter had with him 48 of the best Special Forces Regiment in the whole of the Confederacy, The CSAS. Winter never mavaled on how his meny would never lose hope, never stray from the mission in mind and got on with the job. As he stood there looking over his men his radio man came running over shouted at Winters.

"sir theres something here you might want to hear." The radio operator said "just recived it, not vary clear but you will want to hear it."

"vary well" winters said.

"Thi..s....[gunshots]....Serge...nt....[explostions and more gunshots]...Tru..g...ski...[static].....ambu..ed......by unknow...[gunshots]...brother..ood....fighters. Held out at....Itan...be......illage. Need support.........[static]"

"Novia over here now" he shouted waving one of his men over, he came running over to winters. "give me your map" Winters said. Novia did as ordered, handing over his map.

Winters looked at it, looking hard. "SSgt Novia you are sure we're here" Winters asked pointing at a small marker.

"yes sir" SSgt noiva replyed.

"Whats this villiage here?" Winters asked pointing at a small village on the map with out aname.

"Itan'Bel sir, Lur'Bek Airbase sent in a patrol earlyer during the day after locals mistook Halladi Peacekeepers, lucky no shots were fired but command wanted to send in the local Halladi peacekeepers on patrol with a confed Guards squad to show the Locals this wasnt the case.....why sir?" Novia asked.

"how long would it take for us to get there in this weather?" Winters had to know if it was possible.

"i dont know...2 maby 3 hours if things dont get worse." SSgt Novia replyed.

"Vary well sergent tell the men to pack up we're moving to Itan'bel i want to be ready in 20 minutes, tell rest of the Sergents to met me here in 10 minutes" Lt Winters ordered.

Itan'Bel

The snow was coming down faster and thicker, it was now almost impossible to see much outside the church, gun fire could still be heared outside between whom it was impossible to tell. All the ConFed Squad had made it to the church tho a LCpl Hicks had been hit, a gun shot wound though the right sholder, the Squad medic was doing his best but couldnt open him up to find out what damage the bullet had done, he feared to remove it since he didnt know if any arteries had been damaged.

"Serg, i dont know what elce i can do, he's already on as much morphine as i can give him all i can do is wrap his wound up and put him with the other injuryed." The medic reported to Kim, his hands covered in blood.

"just do your best" she replyed looking out a window, it was all she could ask of the Doc. She turned and walked over to Captain Muhammad once she got there she saluted. "whats your orders sir? cos the way i see it is we cant do shit. The weather out there is droping below -15°C and i dont think the brotherhood is stupid to attempted a blind attack in this weather, shit hte only people i know who do that are the CSAS and the chances of that happening are slim at best. If you want my guess sir, i bet the're waiting for the weather to clear up a bit and at first sunlight attack, they most likely been gathering reinforcements." she said, pulling out a smoke from her pocket offering the captain one.

Sir William Homes, Minister of Defence sent 78,000 soldiers into Tribekistan to help the country in this time of need, Sir Homes stated in on BBC that this is a national crisis and the world must take this crisis as calmly as it can. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth III and Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be flying into Tribekistan to meet the president to make military strategies to stop the fighting in Tribekistan, United Kingdom2 will make a promise to Tribekistan to stop the fighting in there country.

Muhammad saluted back and took the cigarrette, using his own lighter. He surveyed his men, half of whom were accross the way in the Mosque. "My Sergeant over there is well versed enough to do the same as us, in here." He said. "Set up a fire, use anything available. People sleep in shifts. I have my sniper in the tower, and if he notices anything he'll holler down. We need to be prepared for an attack in the morning, but in the mean time, get some sleep." At that the Halladi shrugged and walked away -- taking a seat and hugging himself for warmth.

Do not worry, tho we have cought bits and piaces of what you plan we have hidden it from the Confederacy, for you see we feel that something is amiss at the moment. Forces within the Confederacy are plotting and we can not find out who is doing this on our own, Liao Imperial Intel. has also come to the same conclusion as us and we have agreed to help you "liberate" Tribekistan. What ever is going on is Larger then Tribekistan and involves the entire Confederacy, Under Confederate Law we are allow to do this. IF you agree there will be a few...strings, We wish for you to help get inside the Confederate Intel Devision aswell as the Revana Empire Intel Service. We Also ask if we do find out who was involved you do not interfear with how we deal with person or persons, tho our justice might be...Harsh it will be swift. Our nations are not built apon hate of others, that is our past. over 10 million people were killed in the last 60 years, the Confederacy was the last hope to save the lives of the Northern Lands and now it seems someone wants to destroy this.

If you agree to help The Liao Emperor and the Cadia President will have a press conferace stateing that the confederacy is loseing control and outside help is needed. After that we will allow your forces into our borders and move into Tribekistn, our only fear is that the Confederacy might....fight back. There is more to this then you know, attached is a file, something CID has been trying to hide. IT proves that what what happened in Lav'at was not the first, infact it show that this has been going on for yearly a year now and the death toll is now reaching 150,000. This has to get out but we can not for meny reasons so we leave this in your hands.

Tribekistan

Wraith City

"MOVE IT" one shouted, more explosions could be heared as more booby traps went off. His team were running to the Lower chambers where charges had been set along one wall.

"all acounted for" two said as he entered the chamber, all the men and women of the team were there, one of them was holding the detornater.

"good" One said pulling off his mask, he had jet black hair and looked in his mid 30s. He pulled out his side arm and put it to the womens head. "Hand it over."

Tho you couldnt see it you could tell she was smiling, "are you really that stupid? do you think your employer didnt think you might try this, take this and sell it on the black market?" she chuckled "you really are a fool" she said as Two pulled out his side arm and put it to His head.

"what the hell..." One said looking at two "fine" he nodded his head and the trigger was pushed, the wall exploded into the sewer network below. "lets go."


5 minutes later, outside the mosque

"We've found the hostages, 2 of the terrorists are dead can find any of the others" a voice said over the radio.

"Vary well Captain, get the hostages out becareful the terrorist might have hid themselves within the group." colonel anderson replyed. he didnt look happy so far 5 killed and another 7 wounded, but that was the lest of his worries now he couldnt find the terrorist.

"major, i want a press statment made informing the world that the Terrorist are dead and teh hostages are on route out now" Anderson snaped. "christ i hope nothing elce gos wrong."

"yes sir." The Major replyed then suddenly mutiply explodtions could be heared then the sound of rubble calapseing apon itself.

"By the gods" Anderson replyed with a look of horror on his face.


Confederate International News

Just In, the hostage situation in wraith has worsened. We just heared that the Mosque has been destroyed, estermated death toll is reaching over 300, 200 are the hostages.

Questions are being asked why the Cadian special forces on site had not been used instead the 7th sent in Infentray not tryed in this sort of situation. The Damage to the mosque is...oh...total it seems the entire building was set to blow.

Just in now also, President Antun Sa'adah of Tribekistan has been found murdered, we go live now to the Tribekistan Senate house where Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi has just been sworn is and is about to make a statment.


"People of Tribekistan, its clear that the confederacy can not keep the peace and for this reason amoung other i here by declare that Tribekistan has withdrawn from the Confederatacy. ALL Confederate forces are ordered to leave Tribekistan right away, it is clear that there is only hate in the eyes of the confederate people. Tho you may see this illigal we do no care, We are free people and can do what we wish. It was you who killed our beloved President and we will prove it."


Oh god, Under confederate law this move is illagal we havent had a statment from the Prime minister or the Emperor but this cant end well. This will be seen as Out right rebellion, these are indeed dark days for the Northern lands could we be seeing the birth of the dark days?

The President immediately called for the three most senior members of the Senate and the Joint Chiefs to meet with him at once in his office. The Senators and Officers were roused and made their way to the President's office, 45 minutes had passed. "Gentlemen, please take a seat." Said the President as the men entered his office. "Before you is a briefing prepared by the State Department, it is from the Cadian Intelligence Service, Cadia is a part of the Confederacy, as you may have noticed the Confederacy as a bit of a crisis on their hands, Tribekistan is on the verge of a civil war and now they are trying to withdraw from the Confederacy altogether. As you can see Cadian Intelligence believes that something is afoot here, they have evidence of over 150,000 killings this past year alone and they are now offering to help us get troops inside Tribekistan. If these numbers are true we must act, 150,000 dead is most likely only a start to whomever is responsible. What we must do is take control of Tribekistan immediately, once that is taken care of Cadian Intelligence will take over investigations into whom is responsible for these atrocities."

"Can we really be of any help?" Asks one of the Senators. "What is our current military situation? Can we afford a lengthy occupation should it be necessary?"

General Brickshaw chose to speak up on behalf of the Joint Chiefs. "The cost isn't really a problem, with the new budget we can afford to stay in Tribekistan for decades, the problem will be in choosing whom to send, we have very few soldiers below the age of 43 with any combat experience, even most of our NCO's have never seen combat. We can field a large force, but we will face very high casualties for the first few months until our troops can adjust to life in a hostile country. Any plan we use will likely involve rather high casulties for the first two months before they begin to decrease." The General then turns to address the Senators directly. "You had better be prepared to accept that fact before we begin any operations. There WILL be casualties and they WILL be high, either you agree to accept this but still stick it out now or we walk from this meeting. Once the fighting starts the politicians need to leave the tough decisions to the military, we have been trained to deal with this, you gentlemen have not. Is that clear?"

The President chooses to speak before the Senators can respond. "Calm down General, this meeting is not meant to turn us against each other."

"With all due respect, Mr. President, but you know as well as I do that when the bullets start to fly and our boys die the public will be clammoring for a withdrawal. The Senate is but a flock of sheep subject to the whims of the public, if we do this everyone here must agree to stay united in this effort. Wars are fought on the battlefield but limited conflicts such as this are usually lost on the homefront, we can not fight a war abroad with the Senate back home ready to stab us in the back if it means they will get a few extra votes come election time. Now either these men agree to keep out of the handling of this affair once the shooting starts or they figure out a way to do this without the Army. What do you say gentlmen?"

The Senators, caught quite by surprise by the General's outburst talk quietly amongst themselves before the most senior responds, "General, we understand your concerns, but know that we do what we do for reasons that are larger than just mere vote buying." The Senator then paused, thinking over what had been said. "We will stand by and allow the military to handle any eventualities, it is afterall what you train for. Mr. President, on behalf of the Senate of the Dominion I grant you permission to engage in an intervention in the Tribekistan Situation on behalf of the People of the Dominion and Cadia, I assume the British will be cooperating also?"

"They already have troops and material in the area, our Second Fleet has been enroute to Tribekistan for two days now and should be arriving on station within the week. I shall instruct the State Department in cooperation with the War Department to begin communications with Cadian Intelligence to coordinate our combined efforts to intervene in Tribekistan. Good night Gentlemen."


To: Cadian Intelligence
From: Stephen Baird

The President and Senate have agreed to allow the military to take part in joint operations in an effort to liberate Tribekistan from this wave of violence. Seeing as how your nation is more familar with the area, we are asking you to reccomend the size of our deployment forces, we do not wish to send so many troops we are deemed as invaders, but at the same time we want to be able to control the nation as a whole while you conduct your investigation. Please send your reply to my office ASAP.

"This is ANN News, Kira Silver standing in for Andrea Grey currently in Tribekistan", Said a woman in her twenties dressed in a dark red suit and short hair; she was sat behind a news desk. "Earlier tonight, ANN aired graphic footage of a hostage situation in Tribekistan; while live on the scene our reporter Andrea Grey and Camera man Dave Ronald's were involved in an attack by what Military spokesmen have identified as a HIND Attack helicopter. The helicopter opened fire on the crowd of gathered civilians, police and journalists with 20mm auto cannons. Then several masked soldiers disembarked and headed into the building. Cameraman Dave Ronald was wounded in the attack his status still unknown and police Captain Mohammed Al-Bahshir was killed. Andreas fate remains unknown with no official statement from the Confederacy or Tribekistan forthcoming"

The Anchor seemed to hold her earpiece for a moment obviously receiving an update from her producer. "This just in; the Mosque at Wraith City has been completely destroyed as Government troops stormed the building in an effort to free the hostages; the terrorists detonated some form of explosive inside. There is no official word on casualties but they are believed to be in the hundreds with at least 200 hostages among them Analysts say this could cause widespread sectarian violence"

The Video feed is cut off.

"Gentleman; the situation looks grim" a young gentleman said from across the room; he was dressed in a dark suit and white shirt; "the situation is quickly spiralling out of control in Tribekistan and two of our citizens are missing"

"Any word on them from the Tribekistan or confederacy government Mr Benton?" replied a more elderly man in an army uniform; his voice was crisp and clear; the shoulders of his army greens decorated with four stars to signify the rank of general.

"No General Towns; they seem to have there own internal problems right now; too much to worry about 2 foreign citizens" Benton replied.

"Then I suggest we make it clear they should do something to find our lost people or they will face immeasurable consequences" General Towns replied.

"Are we really willing to go to war over 2 people?" Benton asked before bringing it to the attention of the president.

"If it was 1 person left behind I'd drain the whole damn ocean to find them"; General Towns spoke.

"Very well; I'll talk to the President; in the mean time; you should go see Mr Fisher; he may have some assets he can re-task to the area"

"Yes Mr Benton"

And with that the meeting was over.

Diplomatic Message on behalf of the President
From: Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Edward Benton

Northern Tribekistan

The sun was starting to shine in Itan'Bek the snow had finial stoped, tho as Kim looked out the window she saw a problem. The snow was deep, vary deep coming up to most peoples wastes. The radio's had started to work again but it came with bad news, since Tribekistan has "reballed" agenst the Confederacy most of the Confederate Military forces in Tribekistan were gearing up for war and Lur'Bek airbase was covered with snow meaning any pick up was delayed by 2-3 hours at most.

"Robinson" Kim shouted.

"Yes Mam" Robinson replyed running over to Kim from his post, he stoped infront of her and saluted.

"I want you to take 3 men and start digging Entranchments around the Church, i'll find out if the commander has any men to spare to help." Kim ordered.

"Yes mam" Robison saluted and went off, "Peterson, Trinity and Alban with me, get your spades out we're out digging."

Kim turned and walked over to the commander, "Sir i was wondering if you had anyone to spare to help dig fortifications around the building and to get into contact with the rest of our men." Kim said.


1 mile from Itan'Bel villiage

The snow glisserned in the morning sun, the winter white could be seen across the once green field. The mountains covered in snowy peaks and trees that once looked mighty and tall now seemed smaller. Several feet of snow had fallen in the night, nothing could be seen apart from the bright sunlight shinning off the snow.

Suddenly the snow was disturbed from beneath, first a few fingers then a hand making the holes bigger. Then poped out the heads of the CSAS soilders as they dug themselves out of the ground, the snow had fallen so much that it covered there Tents, somthing the CSAS expected. AS the men and women worked to dig there tents out Lt winters looked around at the opn ground, in the distance he could see the village, the spires of the church tower and the mosque.

"how long till we're ready?" Winters asked looking though the banoculars, he could see a few of the brotherhood preparing to attack the villiage.

SSgt Novia replyed "5 minutes sir"

"good good it seems we might just be intime for some action."

Hillside north of Itan'Bel

Over 200 brothers had gathered tho the weather had taken a few lives and frost bite was setting in on some the were still going to fight. The villiage lay below unknowning to what was about to hit them, 3 mortor teams (15 mortors intotal) had set up along the hill side, groups of brothers had moved round both sides of Itab'bel and waited, waited for the signal to attack.

"Remember brothers, we let none live" The Commander of one of the groups told his men. "We attack in an hour when the signal is shown."


From:- Cadian Intelligence
To:- Stephen Baird

Estermated Tribekistan forces that are trained around 2700 not inclueding milltia by local warlords (estermated at around 1500-2000 lightly armed millita), Estermated Confederate Forces (All Revana Empire Troops) 6000 ground troops well trained and heavyly armed. 96 aircraft with just under 2,000 airforce personel within the borders of Tribekistan.

We have reports that Forces from the Europa Imperiam are gearing up along the borders, unknown if this is a Confederate Force or a force of own gain, estermated numbers at 2500 combatents from the 3rd Imperial Shock Brigade with support from local forces (estermated 1200 light infentry and armour support).

We currently have 2000 combatents from the 2nd Republican Guard aswell as 2 air wings (192 aircraft), The Lieo Empire has informed ups they are supporting us with another 2 Airwings (192 aircraft) and the 7th Air assault Regiments (2500 troops with Air Transports).

Our fear is that the Revana Empire will send in its countless supply of troops (last report on its military showed that he army alone had 71,000 troops combat ready) ofwtich we do not have the man power to hold off in a long war.

We are in talks now with Mordia Empire and the Mordax Repulbic to supply troops for this but we are still unsure on who we can trust and are not sure if these to parties will risk all out war.

We sugest a large naval force to be stationed off the coast of Cadia, the Europa NAvy is the best in the confederacy and we fear if they are to go to war alone we will be facing some of the best trained and best equiped ships in the whole of the Northlands tho it may not be the largest navy, again the revana Empires navy is the largest. an ideal force sent would be in the 100,000 but we know such a force in a short time can not be musted nor would we ask. There for we belive to be able to take and hold Tribekistan and find out whats really going on a force of atlest 20,000 combat ready troops is needed with atlest 5,000 on standby at the moment. forces should be prep for cold weather combat, by this we mean Artic training.

Muhammad ordered his men to begin making entrenchements in the snow immediately. His radio man, a corporal by the name of Omar stopped by the Captain and Kim. "Comrade Captain, I've made a call out Lur'Bek and the Colonel says he's sending a team as soon as possible -- but expected arrive time is atleast an hour!"

"Hm..." Muhammad turned Kim. "I assume your soldiers are prepared to put up a fight? My men are all prepared to fight -- and die if necessary -- and I need to know yours will stand by us. Now, my CO is sending help... probably another platoon and a tank. We need to hold for an hour."

On the roof the sniper, Dawud and his spotter Abdel looked around feverishly. The Halladis were fortunate -- wearing thick trench coats for the season -- but even so they were all freezing. Dawud rubbed some of the snow off his rifle, then took another look around through the scope. Abdel was looking around his a pair of binoculars. Then -- there! They saw a group of men up on the hill outside of town.

Dawud said the coordinates outloud, and Abdel looked. "Enemy combatants, militia from the looks of it." Abdel then called down to Mika'il who ordered his radioman to inform the men accross the way, in the Mosque.

"Looks like we've got company," remarked the Captain to Kim, before scurrying off to help his soldiers with fortifications.

In the church tower, Dawud aimed his rifle carefully. The militiamen were on the fringe of his range, but he wanted to scare them. Carefully, he aimed for the head of one of the enmies up on the hill. Then, pulled the trigger -- hoping for a lucky shot, and a kill.

Animarnia Central Intelligence Agency

General Towns was sat opposite a greying man who looked to be in his late thirties to early 40's; two women were standing in front of the desk at attention. "Kara, Alice we have a mission for you", Mr Fisher said simply. The office was very grey with angled surfaces it looked like something out of a sci-fi movie.

"A Mission Sir? We haven't been active agents for a long time" Kara spoke up.

"I know but your records are the best we have; Two Years in the Royal Marines, several years in the Royal Commandos where you were both decorated five times. Then 4 years in the ASAS on the Dirty Dozen squad; several years working for us and your both active Mercenaries" Fisher said off hand as he recounted there records "your perfect for this"

"What's the job sir?" Alice perked up.

"One of our Agents, Andrea has gone missing in Tribekistan; her cover was a Journalist working for ANN locally" Fisher explained; "You've seen the evening news. We know her camera man was wounded and that the person she was interviewing was killed but no sign of Andrea or of the Camera man has shown up since" Fisher said.

"Why not just ask the Tribekistani's to explain where they are?" Kara asked.

"The higher echelons are already on it; but with the area looking like its heading to civil war I need the best people out there to find them and possibly facilitate an extraction. With force if required"

"What about weapons sir? Alice asked as Fisher brought up a satellite map of the area.

"All you can get though security will be your pistols I'm afraid; security will be tight. If you need any heavier weapons you'll have to buy them on location. Shouldn't be to hard to find an AK-47 in any country ending in 'Stan'" Fisher added as they both nodded.

"What's the Extract Plan?" Kara asked.

"If all goes right, commercial flight via local airlines, plan B is a Sub extraction off the Tribekistan coast. Plan C is a local airfield here" he said pointing; "steal a small aircraft, fly it to international waters and we'll pick you up; the area lights up as a war zone no one will notice or care about a light aircraft theft" Fisher nodded.

"When do we leave?" Kara asked.

Tribekistan Intl Airport

"Thank you for flying with Tribekistan Air" said an overly cheery voice on the Tanoy. The flight had been horrible a Kara and Alice had been separated during the flight due to an error in booking. Which landed Alice next to a man whom spent the entire flight staring at her boobs and Kara was left near Mrs Wilkinson a little old biddy that saw fit to talk the entire flight and not shut up. If they'd let her bring a gun in hand baggage Kara would have shot her right there and be done with it. On top of this they were all packed in like cattle. Damn economy flying on local airlines.

The plane slowly pulled into the terminal and Alice could see the mobile stairs start to connect to the door which slowly hissed open as Alice 'willed' it to open faster so she could get the hell off this flight.

"Thank gods" she muttered as people started filling off the Cattle plane as she had come to call it. They both walked down the stairs gently the winter sun shining down on there face; "Damn; its cold here; we never go anywhere nice" Kara said to Alice

They silently walked through customs and Kara spotted Mrs Wilkinson hobbling along down the corridor. "Hey Sir; you might want to check that lady; she kept talking about a bombing on the plane" Kara said to the man on the customs desk as he gave her a sceptical look.

"She's an elderly woman," he said.

"Don't let that fool you; I mean didn't you hear about that 65 year old? She murdered 10 people; cut there hearts right out and stuffed the bits of body in her walls", Kara said.

"Yeah; and wasn't that big Mafia Boss an 80 year old Lady? You'd never guess to look at her on TV such a lovely woman" Alice chirped in. that was all it took as the customs officer spoke into his radio and Mrs Wilkinson was quickly accosted and taken away by two large uniformed men for a thorough cavity search and interrogation.

It really is amazing what you can do when you play on people's suspicions and heightened security fears. These days anyone could be a terrorist. Alice and Kara collected their bags without any trouble and exited the airport heading out to rent a car

HMS Pacific
Off the Coast of the Cadian Republic

For several days, the leading elements of Force C had been en route to the Confederacy after receiving assurances from the Cadian government that Oceanian forces would be guaranteed safe passage on into Tribekistan. Although the target objective was itself landlocked, the small carrier strike force would be instrumental in reassuring the Cadians that the United Kingdom meant business. Thus, at dawn, the first grey embassies of peace emerged over the horizon, escort frigates and destroyers proudly bearing the white naval ensign of the Royal Navy under the golden sun and crisp azure skies.

Several hours later, the bulk of Force C lay off the coast, amphibious assault ships off the starboard bow of the flagship, the carrier Pacific. Rear Admiral Sir Nigel Cardington pulled his binoculars up to his ochre-coloured eyes, peering into the distance at the towers of glass and steel that marked his eventual destination as commander of Force C. The government had accepted the offer put forth by Cadian intelligence, and quietly had set sail with destinations unknown to most both in the United Kingdom and the Cadian Republic.

Now, almost entirely without announcement, a minor force lay off the coast of the republic’s largest port. Under Cardington’s command was not just the Pacific and the amphibious assault ships, but two light carriers and two dreadnoughts with their escorts in addition to an attached battlecruiser squadron that would operate largely independent from his fleet—though still nominally under his command. As soon as docking procedures were transmitted and the orders confirmed, the men of the 221st Parachute Regiment would begin offloading and training

Finally satisfied with the sights before him, Cardington nodded to nobody in particular before returning to the bridge. On the display screens he saw his destroyer and frigate screens spreading out, standard procedure to defend against unforeseen complications such as hidden diesel-electric submarines. They also would serve to intercept any small craft that dared approach the Royal Navy capital ships as they stood off the coast. He heard a familiar rumble and roar, video monitors displaying the timely departure of the next combat air patrol that would be extended not just over the task force but now the Cadian port—it would be the least he could do in exchange for their use of port facilities.

OOC: The Map (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v378/corpsac/Nationstates/Confederacy.jpg) its made, should give you a better idea of hte lay out of the land. Also my numbers were a bit off when giving you the intel (lets just say Cadian Intel was a bit wrong). The Revana Empires army is 214,000 strong (the number i gave i belive was the total in the army including logistics this number is without) er..any other questions let me know. Will be making a post later.

OOC: Sorry for this post, I meant to post an IC reply but when I saw the map I had an idea, so I had ask this question. That grouping of three islands there, does the Revana Empire maintain a base and airstrip on any of those islands?

OOC: yes they do, its the Main Naval port for the 3rd Fleet and also has a small airbase and a battalion of Marines and battalion ofPara's (total of about 1200 troops give or take). Population is rather small (since the islands are also used for Training of all sorts) aswell, mainly populated by the Military personel and private contracters.

The second fleet arrived on station and awaited orders. Led by the WPS Rememberence, the second fleet contained one aircraft carrier (Rememberence), four amphibious assualt ships (Northridge, Eastern Gap, Trifindal, and Outback), three cruisers (Hawk, Eagle, Falcon), seven destroyers and two nuclear power attack subs (Grand Rapids and Des Moines). The Rememberence measured 1,090 feet in length and carried 76 Lightning II's (one of only three carriers in my arsenal which have an air wing of F-35's on board) as well as three E-2 early warning systems, and five SH-60's for anti-submarine warfare and search and rescue operations. Onboard the four amphibs were 8,000 marines and 212 CH-46 Sea Knights. Air Force combat controllers were also on board, their skills in calling in and coordinating simultaneous air strikes were an unmatched any other branch in the military since the Air Force had by far the largest budget for the last two decades and were theirfore able to conduct more training excercises. Two days earlier another fleet had left port at Grand Rapids and this one brought with it 12,000 more Marines as well as several special operations forces, hybrid teams made up of special forces operators from the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines.

Admiral Groves was on the bridge of the Rememberence. Looking out over the water he could see the horizon in every direction, "I don't like it" says the admiral to the captain of the Rememberence, "Here we are, 150 miles of the Cadian coast and we are expected to make arrangements so that the Air Force can start airlifting troops into the Cadian Republic so that they might enter Tribekistan and just 100 miles to our south the Revana Empire maintains a naval base and airstrip from which they might strike at our fleet. It leaves us exposed to anything they might throw at us. We should start drafting plans to attack and possibly oocupy these islands, should the Revana Empire choose to get involved they will likely attack from those islands. Have the Marines get to work on planning such an operation, it will keep them occupied while we wait. Also, draft a message on my behalf to the Cadian Intelligence and ask them to select three airstrips of at least 9,000 feet in length where we might start flying in supplies VIA air force C-130's and C-5's."

The Cadia House, Cadia, Capital of the Cadia Republic


The press room was full of reporters from all nations, it was load as people were chatting, no one knew why they were here and an emergancy session of the Senate had been called, speculation was rapent. Then on the stage 2 Cadia Secret Servicemen and 2 Leio Imperial Guard came out take up postions on the stage, they were followed by the Emperor of Leio and the Preisdant. Everyone suddenly stood up and stoped speaking, meny of the reporters from Leio bowed when they saw the emperor.

"Ladies and Gentlemen" President Anyanka spoke softly, "as meny of you know the trubbles recently in Tribekistan have forced the Confederacy into a point that could brake into all out war, we and by that i mean the Leio Empire and the Cadia Republic, do not understand the recent trubbles. Evidance has surfaced that the confederacy has been hiding reports from the ConFed military of theses attack on inercent civilians, this isnt a isoclated thing. we feel that forces within the Confederacy supressed this infomation to force a war between the Confederacy and Tribekistan, it has worked. But it has become alot worse, reports have come in that the Europa Imperium has started to move troops to the borders of northern Tribekistan. There aim is to take Tribekistan for themselves, forces from the Revana Empire are also doing the same but under the cover of the confederacy. WE can not do such a thing, tribekistan is the life blood of the confederacy, The Major Oil supply of our nations. For this reason" her tone became harder "it has been decided by the Leio Parlament and the Cadia Senate that a joint taskforce will be used to take trbekistan, remove its current goverment and replaceing it with a elected goverment of the Tribekistan people rather thena "puppet" of the Confederacy and the protection of the Oil fields. We have asked for the aid of outside nations, the goverments of West Pacific and Azazia have agreed to help in our mission. as we speek forces from both nations have begain to arrive in Cadia. Our forces will be nothing more then peacekeepers after we remove Europa and REvana forces. As of now we are at war with the Revana Empire and Europa."

the scilence was broken, flashes from camras went off, people shouting asking questions, looks of disbeleif. It was news people didnt want to hear, the Confederacy had fallen apart. But the Cadia and Leio didnt see any other choice, who ever was behind this was getting what they wanted, it was true they were walking into the hands of the mastermind but it was the only way to make them show themselves. Forces of Cadia in the confederacy army had already been moveing back to Cadia as were Leio forces.
