General Howe was sitting at his desk when a private rushed in and handed him a message,it read

Offical Corporate International Communication:


As of today, The corporate body of Raven corps will be placing a naval and airel blockade of Frenzia. This decision has been made in accordance with the Board of Assets absorbtion and assets useage guidelines. The blocade will be immideate and will place all vessels, both naval and airel under watch and will be deemed hostile if said vissesl try to avoid the naval checkpoints.


Forces will be deployed from three seperate location and will form from there.

Declassified details of blockade:

Naval assets:

200 anti-air/ Arsenal ships
70 Hellgade class super carriers- with augment of 50 RC-12 Black widows
150 Hellgade class heavy destroyers
50 DOMar monitor ships
50 Under Raven Hellgade class Submarines.

OOC:Above originally posted by Raven corps

The General read over the message,he was furious,he thought back to the first war when they were attacked by Raven corps,New Nick and Kraven.He remembered how Raven corps troops loaded over 300 children up with weights and made them march to their deaths over land mines.He remember visiting the town that had been taken over and talking to some of the women that had been raped.He remembered Raven corps threats of the use of NBC weapons against civilian targets and how he knew they had to be stopped.He called the High Councilor and within a half hour the highest ranking military officials,himself,and the High Councilor sat in the war room discussing options.They finally decided to send a response.


To Mr. Zion

We must express our disgust at your complete lack of respect for national sovergniery.In our first conflict we forced you out,it was over.We watched the human rights violations.You openly admit to building birthing facilities using rough Kraven documents.You are nothing more than a power hungry,war mongering corporation.We cannot stand for this,STAND DOWN,go home,leave us a peace.

The Raven corps Spokeperson walked up to a podium which overlooked thousands of reporters and camaras which would give the world a live feed . The spokesperson held up a letter and said:

This letter was sent to us by the Frenzian High command. I will read what it states....



To Mr. Zion

We must express our disgust at your complete lack of respect for national sovergniery.In our first conflict we forced you out,And now we want to teach you a lesson.We watched the human rights violations.You openly admit to building birthing facilities using rough Kraven documents.You are nothing more than a power hungry,war mongering corporation.We cannot stand for this,And we plan to makw you pay for every life you took.


When the spokesperson was finished he put the letter down and said... Our CEO Colderon Jason zion has informed all of you that becasue of this open remark of war given by the Frenzian government we have ASAP moblized our fleets and have begun to blockade there ports and air channels. We issue the warning to the Frenzian government:

Stand down, or we shall not leave this time around.

As the High Councillor began typing a response,Frenzian CENCOM became alive with activity.Orders were given out.All Naval Fleets would be put on alert and would be ready to leave port within 2 days.All aircraft would be put on high alert and would be able to engage the fleet within a minimum of 2 hours.SAM sites and Coastal Defense Systems were put on high alert.

To Mr. Zion

Nice trick to pull,alter our message.We don't want people getting the wrong message and so an original copy of our message has been sent to news stations around the globe.We do not want war,we want our sovereignty to be respected.We once again issue you the order this order....STAND DOWN

As the week drug on the propaganda pilled up. The podium was alive with flash bulbs and camaras. As the spokesperson walked back up. this time holding SAT. pictures of Frenzian moblization.

( shows pictures)...

As you can see. our fleet has not yet arrived within Frenzian waters and the nation has already begun to moblize against us. This is a blockade, not an invasion. Such a large scale build up would not be needed for a blockade. This can only be logical to think that the Frenzian Government has truely begun its move to attack Raven corps assets.......

Corporate HQ... Willink , Terra city

Colderons office was omnious as always. The black marble walls and flooring always gave it its signiture look. The wall of screens where the only source of light. The large Black Oak desk the had seen the written signitures for so many deaths was a small monument to those who have lived through the horros that the Zion family has placed on the souls of the world. His guard and personel assassin Agies stands as a testement to the power that Colderon had within his grasp.

Colderon watches the wall with feveris intent waiting for the best chance to strike. So as his time came. he gave a call to the Frenzian Officials:


I am sure you remember my voice. And as such I am sure of the hell we brought you so long ago. Now this war will be won. One of us will be the victor. And I am sure the victor will be us.....

SIC:
"Raven's Corps planning to invade Frenzia again?" The Emperor shouted, rather surprised, although he attempted to remain stoic.

"Well its only a blockade right now, but we expect do expect Raven Corps to invade, judging from history." The Intelligence Officer stated.

"Now the question is, do we join in?"

"Sir? What about the treaty we signed?"

"A Treaty? It's only a piece of paper, 112,000 Brave men of the Empire went forth and died. For what? 50 square kilometers of land, that's 2 and a half men dead for a mere meter. It is an insult."

"But many more may die, we could lose what we have gained, our territory in Frenzia has no armed forces, and sending a force over could take weeks. They'll..."

"There are a enough weapon stashes to hold the place for at least a week, the Frenzian inspectors can't look inside every box, and thankfully we can delay the inspection's by creating complications at the immigration office. We also have an Armed Police force, trained to a higher standard then usual. Also, every Nicksyllvanian man has served in the military, they'll know what to do"

"Sir, are you serious? I don't mean to speak out against My Lord but..."

"Yes, very serious, but we don't procede yet. Just wait to see how this all works out, perhaps we can gain land without any Nicksyllvanian blood being shed. Until then, order the 34th,56th,57th,and 67th Corps to prepare for a possible transport. Good thing its parade day, the sheer numbers of troop movement should throw off satelites. You are Dismissed"

"Aye my Lord" After saluting, the Officer quickly moved out of the room.

The Emperor pressed a button on his desk to call his secretary "Organize a meeting of the Supreme Council in 2 hours, also call in INAF HQ to join us"

The Frenzian government knew they had no choice,there could be no reasoning with Colderon Jason Zion.After the first war they knew how Raven corps acted,they expected the propaganda,they expected NBC weapons,so they began to counter the threat.Propaganda was distributed throughout the nation,leaflets showing the troops,leaflets showing the town that was captured.News stations began airing interviews with residents of the town that had been taken over.As for the threat of NBC weapons,large shipments of gas masks began being sent to the large cities and distributed to civilians.Nuclear blast shelters were built.Reservist were called up and drills began on the bases.Another message was sent to Raven corps,this message was also sent to news stations around the globe to ensure it wouldn't be tapered with.Then a message was sent to New Nick,Kraven wasn't around or a message would have been sent to them also.


To Mr Zion

No matter what we try we fail.You are not willing to let us live in peace.You lie and alter what we say.We have said before,we do not want a war.What reason did you have to blockade us? Why are you back to haunt us? We know how you work,you may be the same but we are different.No longer are we the same small weak nation we were years ago.While we may not have the back up of allies we will fight to not allow you touch our soil,your boots will never set foot on our great soil.Once again we do not want a war,turn your fleet around and sail home and let us never hear from you again


To The Emperor of New Nicksyllvania

While we had conflict in the past we hope that it can be put behind us and we hope you will abide by the treaty and not attack us.

A video message was sent back to the Frenzian government. His dark figure only revealing his eyes.

" You dont understand.... We have been preparing for this day for some time. Garrisons have been fortified and prepared. Our ships armored and our soldiers bred with a special hatred for you nation. We dont wage this war for profit like those other nations. This one we fight for our pride as the true dark corporation. The one true bringer of hell to this world. This is our burden, our curse. your hell."

To the Government of Frenzia

We assure you we intend to follow every term of the treaty.

Statement of the Government of the Britannic Commonwealth of Eurasia

The Britannic Commonwealth will support Frenzia without fail, and demands that Raven Corps drop this wholly pointless blockade.

Official Corporate communique:


TO: Britannic Commonwealth of Eurasia
From: Desk of Colderon Jason Zion


This blockade is only the begining. This nation has mocked us with their victory over my forces long ago. This has huanted my every waking moment. This blockade is only the first of many horrors I plan to inflict upin this nation!

Communiqué to Raven Corps

We would be more than willing to host some sort of diplomatic talks. In my opinion, diplomacy is more useful than an embargo that makes the innocent civilians of Frenzia suffer.

Official Corporate reply:


Raven corps has had a long standing tradition to have never givenany thought to the innocent. In War no one is innocent. All are target that must be subdued. Men - Women- and children. All must know who is in charge and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Mass murder and genocide are just a small glimps as to what Ravencorps is willing to do in order to secure victory. Human resource is an expendable one.

To: British Londonium

While we would gladly like to resort to diplomacy first,it is not possible.Colderon Jason Zion is not willing to reason with us and will not rest until we are under his control.We will not let this happen however we will not launch the first strike,he attacks us and we will ensure his boots never touch our soil.

Frenzian Military commanders knew that a first strike would be a bad idea.Frenzia would be able to survive for more than half a year before the blockade became serious.Instead Frenzia would counter the blockade with propaganda,lots of it.Governments of nations around the world and the media would began getting messages encouraging them to not trade with Raven corps or buy their merchandice.Images showing horrible acts committed by Raven corps and edited images showing broken down Raven corps tanks and warplanes.Frenzian commanders hoped that Raven corps could be starved.As a back up, a rationing system was implemented and defenses began being constructed.Beaches were closed and filled with various obsticals.Air patrols increased.Troops could be sent anywhere in Frenzia in less than 5 hours.

OOC:Glorified bump

IC:

It had been more than two weeks since General Howe had first been handed the message from Raven corps.During this time he watched as his nation prepared for war.He got reports every day on how the defenses were coming along.All beaches had been closed off and many were covered in beach obsticals.Troops were moved just behind the beach obstacles,they were prepared for a possible beach landing.Civilians continued to be issued gas masks and now leaflets on NBC warfare.The entire nation was at a stand still,waiting to see what Raven corps would do next.

The External Affairs Department of the Kingdom of Aragolia issued the following message.

To: The Government of Frenzia.
From: The Assembly of the Kingdom of Aragolia.
Subject: Medical and Rationary Assistance.

High Councilor,

The Kingdom of Aragolia, with the consent of His Royal Majesty the King, is willing to provide non-militant assistance to your nation. It is proposed that two thousand doctors be sent, along with medical suppies and food rations. Having been ratified in the Assembly of Aragolia, the assistance in question may be ordered for transport within the hour of your assumed acceptance, and arrive twelve hours the later.

Also ordered for transport; a small squadron of Governemnt jets that have been converted to serve as medical evacuation aircraft. Our fleet of 35 Bombardier CRJ-705's can accomidate 75 seated, 100 standing, or 50 individual in a lying state. The Assembly must impress upon you that these jets are not used for combat, only for the aid of your people.

Sincerely,

His Excellency Lord Arthur Douglas,
Secretary of State for External Affairs.

On behalf of; His Royal Majesty Keegan Loyst,
King and Head of State.

To:The Assembly of the Kingdom of Aragolia

From:The Frenzian External Affairs Council

While we would gladly like to accept your aid,Raven corps has us under a naval and air blockade and he will surely not let any aid get through.

OOC:Bump

The blockade was in full motion as the last of the blockade fleets arrived. So far no one was follish enough to try and run the blockade. But people tend to be stupid and sooner or later someone would try. Slowly but surely the ships took aim at the coast, for it if anywhere would feel the first strike sting. The ships and the men where already in the area. And the coastal bombardment would be simple to produce.


But not all was fine on the blockade side. The Admiral could sense the impending invasion and requested that a steady supply route be established. But for him the supply route was only to prepare for a better invasion, and was by no means needed. The fleets could sustain the invasion for atleast 4 months if need be. As it stood invasion orders had not came in and was not expected to for some time. Letting the blockade do its job.

For now SF Gen. Markum only need to sit and wait.

The blockade had not been in place long and had yet to take a toll on Frenzia..While the people found the blockade annoying they didn't expect the Frenzian government to go all out and attack the blockade,although they could if need be.They would be able to sit back and wait,hoping for Raven corps to make the first move,if not they had something planned.

With the help of SAT. tech. Gen. Markum could watch the people of Frenzia as they went about their daily activities. Shopping, eating, smoking, taking a shower, and of course troop movement. The General was maticuless(SP). watching and recording all the troop movement that his screen pickuped on. But He also got an idea as to how the nations infrastructure operated.

SIC:.....

( Raven corps.. Blockade fleet.)

The Admirals quarters where off limits for many But for a select few these places where common place... And their mission was to be carried out when told...

Nothing more could be done.Frenzia was fully prepared for the invasion.It was the wait that was killing people.Everyone knew something was going to happen,nobody knew when.


OOC:Lets just skip ahead,are you going to attack or continue starving me?

OOC: The starving will continue. but a secret infiltration is about to happen.

OOC:Sounds good

The Fleet was sitting tight and and waiting for their next move. In the Generals office 10 people stood in front of his decks waiting for the orders that would set their plans in motion. But what they where planning no one exept them knew.

SIC:

" So you want us to infiltrate the nation, take out the coastal defences and cause internal problems?" asked one of the men who wore a black skin tight combat suit.

" Exactly... you do this for us and your team will get 5 million each as well as 500 acres estate in Kornosia." said General Markum as he poured a glass of fine aged bourben.

" And for those who may die during this operation?" the man asked agian

" They will be clones and memories we have already taken will beimplanted into them" replied Markum

" Terms accepted.. we will do the mission" said the man as he took the papaers of the terms and left...

The Frenzian people were beginning to feel the effects of the blockade.Frenzia's main imports were crops such as wheat,corn,sugar cane and tabacco.Although Frenzia grew these crops,there was not enough to satisfy the entire population.People were getting angry and protests began in major cities demanding that the government do something about it.The government knew they had to and decided to take one last stab at diplomacy.

To: Raven corps

We are not afraid to admit that your blockade is beginning to take its toll on our nation.We have attempted to reason with you and are attempting one last time to do so before we are forced the resort to hostile action.

This message was also sent to various international news stations around the world to ensure it was not tapered with.Another message was sent to the international community.

To:The International Community

Our people are begging to starve and we need help.We do not ask you to fight our war for us although military assistance would be greatly appreiciated.We need food for our people,soon they will begin to die of hunger and we will be forced to attack,something we do not want to do.We only want peace.

SIC

To: Frenzian Government
From: Dartian Office of the President
Re: Blockade

The Dartian government will not idly standby while your people starve. We are prepared to do what we must to provide relief. However, we expect it will take at least two months for our navy to mobilize and make its way to your neck of the woods.

We hope that when we do arrive the forces blockading your nation will allow us to pass in peace. If they do not, we feel it would be prudent for our forces to coordinate our efforts with your own forces.

Until then, good luck to you.

Sincerely,
Allejandro Valerio
President of Dartia

Office of the Soverign and Head of State for the Kingdom of Aragolia.

A man is standing in a lavish office, surrounded by golden fixtures and tall portraits of important men. Gazing out of the victorian-era window overlooking the Ocean, Keegan Loyst stood deep in thought. He is interrupted by three quick knocks on the door. He turns to face it, and responds, "Enter."

Opening the door, a tall man in a dark blue uniform enters the room. He is adorned by a series of medals and is weighted by a heavy set of epaulettes atop his broad shoulders. He stands at attention in-front of Keegan's desk.

"Please, sit." Keegan exclaimed, taking a seat himself. He poured himself and the man a glass of water.

"Admiral," Keegan paused for a moment. "Bill, you've heard about the the blockade around Frenzia, yes?"

"Of course. It's a tactical nightname."

Keegan winks. "A recent message from their Government suggests that there is a shortage of food."

The Admiral pauses. "And?"

"In our latest budget, the Prime Minister tells me we have a 4 billion dollar surplus."

The Admiral doesn't respond.

"What good is that surplus doing us? None. But it can aide Frenzia, that's for sure."

"It very well could, sir."

Classified: Order to the Department of the Navy.

To: Admiral Kutsia, Commander, Naval Operations South.
From: Howard Johnson, Secretary of State for the Crown.

R.A.S. Excellence and R.A.S. Magnificent to be deployed immediately. Personnel to include those from the medical departments. No ship-board weapons to be located on either of the ships. Officers and Crew may carry sidearms. Further details relayed to Admiral Lowther.

On the Ocean.

Silently, the Excellence and the Magnificent rolled out of the harbour...

The Home Office;
The Home office was alive with activity as various ministers went about there business. The meeting room was dark and dull as satellite photos were shown on the large plasma screen at one end of the room. The pictures showed the Frenzia coast navel bases deploying and a large Raven Corp fleet blockading the country.

"What's the best outcome for this Sam?"

"Mr President; the Raven Corp troops are well known for there brutality in warfare; if war happens we can expect the whole sale slaughter of civilians, and the likely use of Nuclear Weapons on civilian targets" Sam's assessment was grim.

"Options?" Jeff asked.

"Well sir; we don't have any defence treaty with Frenzia; though we may have talked once or twice. There's no REAL need for us to get involved since they're not allied to us; however Raven Corp could become the new Kraven if they're allowed to expand unchecked and sooner or later it could be Animarnia that has Raven ships on its boarders" Sam answered.

"And it might look bad sir if we get involved militarily; people at home don't like our soldiers being sent to war; especially one for strangers and any declaration of war would require the senate to approve it. Don't forget its election month so that’s unlikely to happen" Edward spoke up from his position in the corner.

"Damn; so a full declaration of war is out for at least a month" President Friedman spoke to himself; "Ok so what CAN we do?"

The Vice president looked up from her file; "We could send humanitarian aid; they desperately need food. We do have a large supply of seafood we could ship over there and our farmers have a surplus of crops; it was supposed to go to Al Ramir but the Frenzian's are starving" she said.

"Ok I like it what else?" the president looked around his cabinet,

"We have Anti-radiation medications that will help save lives if the Raven Corp uses nukes; and we have other medical supplies they might need" she added a moment later.

"Alright; now how do we get it in?" the President Asked.

"C5's or Ship"; Sam broke in; "Send a squadron of F-22's to escort the C5's to Al Ramir; refuel there then send them on to Frenzia; and we can ship the food. We issue a warning to Raven Corp if they fire on us it will be considered an act of war -would they be nuts enough to actually try and fight a war on two fronts?" Sam asked.

"Yeah; there whacko's" Edward answered; "I say we warn them; tell them we will be escorting our aid convoys and implore them to think of the civilians before they think about opening fire?" Edward offered as a softer alternative.

"Make it happen" the president ordered.

To: Frenzia Government

We would like to send Humanitarian aid to your country in the form of large quantities of seafood; crops and anti-radiation and other medical supplies. A squadron of our F-22 fighters will escort these will be used as primary defence of the C-5 transports carrying the supplies. Other supplies will come by ship If you can designate an airport and seaport for us to arrive in. we also offer Animarnia as neutral ground for both side to meet and find a peaceful end for this comflict

To Raven Corp
We Will be sending humanitarian aid convoys to Frenzia; to help the civilians of Frenzia; these convoys will be under military escort but will not engage your military either air or navy unless fired upon first. We implore you to please think of the civilians as innocents and abide by the rules of the Geneva Convention. we also offer Animarnia as neutral ground for both side to meet and find a peaceful end for this comflict

To: The Government of Frenzia.
From: The Kingdom of Aragolia.
Subject: Re: Assistance.

To whom it may concern:

Two ships are en route. You may expect humanitarian aide and medical supplies. Please note that the vessles are unarmed and unprepared for confrontation.

His Excellency Lord Arthur Douglas,
Secretary of State for External Affairs.

Official Corporate Letter:


TO ALL OFFERING HUMANITARIAN AID:


All ships will arrive at the blockade to be imspected. As we have found pity for the civilians, we will not allow military aid to pass. So after inspection the ships will be allowed to continue.

Official Communique.

To: The Raven Corporation.
From: The Government of Aragolia.
Foreward 1: R.A.S. Excellence.
Foreward 2: R.A.S. Magnificence.

To whom it may concern;

Let it be known that the ships providing humanitarian aide to Frenzia are unarmed and unprepared for conflict. Both ships are carrying medical supplies, and will submit to your inspection without confrontation. Be advised that both ships have personal firearms aboard.

His Excellency Lord Arthur Douglas.
Secretary of State for External Affairs.

From:The Frenzian External Affairs Council

To:All Nations Providing Aid

We must thank you deeply for your aid,we hope we can prevent the unnessary death of civilians and through political pressure eventually have the blockade removed.These supplies can be landed at various airports around my nation as shown on the enclosed map,(no actual map enclosed).If you wish to use the sea as your means of transport we recomend Yarsmouth Port.These supplies will be transported by train and truck and distributed to civilians.The anti radiation pills will be sent to hospitals in major cities.Anyone sending medical aid is asked to further inquire,you will likly be asked to set up in major cities.

From:The Frenzian External Affairs Council

To:Raven corps

We are willing to reach an agreement with you regarding the blockade.We propose you allow unarmed cargo ships,after being searched by your naval forces,to be allowed to pass the blockade.These ships will be coming from major trading partners or being sent from us.Our main imports are food,thus helping to keep our nation alive.We will however need to send cargo ships back carrying our main exports,including cars and lumber.



Throughout the nation,supplies began to be distributed to the populace.So far the supplies would keep anyone from starving.At the moment nobody in Frenzia had yet died from starvation or related illnesses and things were looking good.Morale among troops was good,everyone was in a good mood knowing things were looking good.Engineers began construction on secret coastal batteries which included more obvious looking decoy batteries.Things were looking good in Frenzia.

OOC: now now Frenzia... I told you an attack was coming... The ships inspections will be RPed....

OOC:
Raven; you want to RP an inspection of one of our ships? also we'll gonna be sending escorted cargo planes so potential for conflict there

OOC: ok sounds good. Just make a post about approching the blockade.

And yes I want to RP the inspection...lol

The Morning Star, Off the Coast of Frenzia
The Animarnia Cargo ship Morning Star approached the Raven Corp blockade; the engines were at full steam; it was a fairly modern cargo-ship with a large red and black hull; metal cargo crates were stacked on the deck as well as in the hold. A crewman spotted the Raven blockade.

"Captain! Raven ships dead ahead!" the crewman, shouted.

"Ok; slow to one quarter ahead; Mr Kilkenny; you know the drill"

"Aye Aye Sir, slow to one quarter" Kilkenny replied as he yanked the speed setting back; the old brass lever just like that from one of the older ships. The morning star turned into the blockade to await the boarding parties.

The Crew came up from down below deck; 36 men and women in all; all of them with an ex military background since military service was compulsory for 2 years after turning 18. The captain was an old man with a white beard and flat cape; he was what you might expect from an Old Irish fisherman. The captain waited with his hands pressed on the guard-rail looking out to the large collection of military ships fast approaching.

"All Stop Mr Killkenny"

As the ship got close to the blockade boarding parties of Sf troopers in large yacht looking ships raced through the water as they approched. Two groups of missile luanching troopers stood ready to fire should the ship run opr try and break through. As the ships got close ropes where thrown on. so that they could secure the boarding craft. The Sf commander of the boarding party walked out of the brigde and made sure the platform to the ships was secure. Once the ships where together and the platform set the Commander walked aboard and was followed by the Inspection teams. Scores of Raven SF stormed on to the vessel. Awaiting order to proceed.


The commander was instructed to meet with the ships catian and obtain a bill of Lading. As to see what was supposed to be aboard the ship. Sohe got to his job. With his mechianical sounding voice he asked for the Ships captains quarters where as well as the Captains last known location..

Communication to Freznia:

Dear Friends,

It saddens me to see yet another nation fall prey to warmonggering forces who attack indescriminently, and then attempt to twist what the victim says so that he appears to be the aggressor. Let me assure you that these actions are intolerable. As a Christian, personally, it pains me to see others starved. However, I know that in my position of power, I can make a difference. With your consent, I will be willing to dispatch up to 50 supply ships, each as full as possible with food and other neccesary supplies. I am also willing to escort these ships with an Imperial Main Assault Task Force. This force, largely outnumbering the Raven Corps. and already at sea from previous deployments should allow enough intimidation to allow safe passage for the freighters after they rendevouz at sea.

And should this not afford the neccessary intimidation to allow safe passage, then the fire power of this Task Force should be sufficient to either clear, or a act as a catalyst toward the clearing of the blockade.

Should you accept our offer, the ships will leave port within 2 days from now, rendevouz a day later with the Task Force, and reach the blockade an additional 3 days thereafter. Thus leading to an ETA of 6 days.

Shall we dispatch the aid?

Sincerely,

Shogun Nakamura Taiki
Fourth of the Nakamura Line.

Fourth of the Nakamura Line

From:The Frenzian Defense Council

We must first thank you greatly for your offer of aid.Your proposition has been reviewed,although we are sure your ships will be allowed to pass through the blockade without harm.


Frenzia

Work on the coastal batteries continued,both real and decoy.The Frenzian commanders however wanted to ensure that Raven corps could not gain sufficient reconnaissance on them prior to a possible invasion.Frenzia decided to dive into something that had never been done before in Frenzian military history,sure it had been tested but it had never actually been used in combat.

Remote Location,66km East of Frenzian Forces Base Zulu

A large silo opened revealing a large telescope,the telescope began to scan the sky starting in an arc from 45 degrees to 90 degrees and in a 360 degree turn.Across Frenzia at various remote locations other telescopes were doing the same.The skies were being scanned however it wasn't the telescope that was doing most of the work,it was a large high powered laser beside it.The lasers beside the telescopes scanned the sky and into space,the reading from the laser was sent to Frenzian Central Command and thousands 3D models of satellites were created.The scanning would give them accurate 3D models of sattelites in hopes they could identify a Raven corps recon sattelite.The models would be reviewed and it would be checked who the satellite was registered to.As a back up the telescopes were used in hopes that a Raven corps satellite would have an identifying marking on it.There was also activity from various anti satellite missile batteries,CELLDAR was used to scan the skies looking for satellites that may have been more stealthy than the rest.



OOC:Raven,my lasers and scopes will be doing various scans of the sky all day and all night,I understand there are many sattelites in the sky but I'm hoping that I'll be able to identify your satellites.

Telegram to Frenzian Military and Government:

Fleet Command Ship Kraken,
1000 Nm Southeast of Pschycotian Waters
ETA: 5:23:58:59...

The 360 degree view afforded to Grande Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto III was breathtaking. The sea, as far as the eye could see in all directions, was sparkeling in the bright moonlight of the night. Bowspray from countless, otherwise invisible ships, glowed blue. The wakes of the ships were illuminated in blue-green from phosphorous in the water. Slowly, he leaned back in his command chair and took a sip of the warm sake in a bowl in his hand. Around him in the Fleet Combat Infomation Center, computer screens glowed dimly. Suddenly, nearly starteling the admiral, one of the small tv screens built into the armrest of his chair lit up, displaying the face of the Shogun himself.

"Ah, Your Excellency! Good evening!" he said quickly with a small bow. It was returned with a nod from the face.
"Heh heh, it is always good to see you, Yamamoto," he said smiling politely.
"What brings you to my humble comm. screen?"
"Well, the Raven Corps. are being less than pleasant. They've decided to blockade one nation, Frenzia," the Shogun said, sighing.
"Ah, and you would like me to clear it, Sir?"
"Not if it can be avoided. I've dispatched 50 Whale-Class supply ships. As you know, they're heavy, and armed. Odds are, they won't get through the blockade."
"So you want us to run escort duty? But why such the large force?"
"Intimidation value, dear Admiral. Hopefully we can run it without being stopped. Your orders are to protect the ships and run the blockade. Fire only if fired upon. I don't want this escalating needlessly. But protect yourself."
"Ah, you know how to make an old sea-dragon feel young again."
"Haha, goodnight Admiral-san," the Shogun said, smiling.
"Goodnight, Your Excellency," Yamamoto said, his old face cracking into a smile.

Carefully, he reached over and took command of all the ships in the fleet via a single joystick. Carefully, he executed a left oblique and increased speed, heading for the rendevouz and Frenzia.

[Official Message from the Office of the Prime Minister]

This incident is perhaps one of the worst incidents of spin imposed by a politician that I have ever seen. The Raven Corps is effectively and unremorsely using illegitimate and unethical means to verify a war of genocide against a nation, Frenzia, which did nothing more to deserve this than to defend itself from a nearly identical, ridiculous was of pride a few years ago.

Leaders of nations (or nations posing as corporations) are supposed to be mature, thoughtful, tactful, and wise. None of the aforementioned skills seem to be present in whoever is running The Raven Corps, as that nation appears to be run by someone no more mature than a 13 year old, dyslexic, probably overweight, child.

I beg the international community to stand against this blatantly pointless war of revenge through all means possible. Later today I am filling initial paperwork to Parliament to cut off all trade with Raven Corps, and then paperwork to provide the nation of Frenzia with a good deal of financial aid.

This war, should it be allowed to go forth, will do nothing but destabilise the worlds markets, possibly effecting scores of innocent nations. Can we stand for this?

At the Blockaide
The Captain walked toward the Raven Corp 'Commandant' as he had mentally labelled him; his actually titled didn't really matter to the captain; the reputation of Raven Corp was wide spread. They were in bed with Kraven during the height of the extermination wars and even though Kraven were gone now the Raven Corp still committed genocide and turned humans into monsters.

The Captain nodded to the Raven Commandant; his half smoked hand rolled cigarette giving off a distinct smell as it hung from his lips flaring brightly as he took a long drag then held it between two fingers moving to his side.

"I'm Casper; the Captain of this ship" he said with his voice very distinctly Irish; his flat cap was pulled down slightly forward covering his eyes just a bit as he handed over the hard clipboard with a piece of paper clipped into it.

The Paper read; - Seafood (Prawns, Lobster, Crab, Trout, Salmon, Cockles), Rice, Fruit and Anti-radiation Medicine. The Type 45 daring class destroyer that was escorting the Convoy waited ominously for the inspection to finish

TO: The Frenzian Defense Council & Raven corps
FROM: The Independent Red Crystal Organisation

The IRCO wishes to dispatch the mercy ship Paco (http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e159/new-wessex/ThePaco.png) to the Empire of Frenzia, and to set up a humanitarian aid mission within the Empire. We also wish to dispatch five Airbus A-400M's loaded with medical supplies.

The IRCO will set up triage and treatment centres in the areas of greatest need, based upon our own information and any provided to us by the Frenzian government.

Furthermore the IRCO wishes to reassure Raven Corps that we remain neutral, as ever, in our undertakings and that none of our equipment or personnel are armed or are carrying arms in any way, and that they are welcome to pay a visit to the Paco to confirm this, upon her arrival.

Yours,

Dr Alexander Robinson
Secretary-General of the IRCO.

To:The Independent Red Crystal Organisation

From:The Frenzian Defense Council

We appreciate your aid in this time of need.Your triage centers can be set up in major cities across Frenzia.

A fleet of goverment owned NBHIC (Northern Baltic Heavy Industry Corperation) ships have been dispatched to your location with canned goods and medical supplies. They are unarmed, but as a precaution against piracy, one armed Krivak Class Frigate is escorting the ships. However, if Raven Corp. attempts an invasion, the People's Congress will be put in an emergency session and be forced to vote on military aid to Frenzia.

To:The Northern Baltic

From:The Frenzian Defense Council

We thank you for your support against Raven corps in this time of need.

OOC:Bump

Secret IC: We also wish to supply you with some APCs and Scud-D Missiles, however we would have a challenging time hiding them. We suggest you create a cave in and make it look like an accident. This way we can disguise the Scud missile parts easily as mining equipment.

While we appreciate your offer of APCs and Scud missiles we are already armed with our own APCs and as for the Scud missiles,if you can find a fool proof way to smuggle them into the country we can hide them.


Open Letter to Nations of the World

We must ask all nations providing assistance to us to continue putting political pressure on Raven corps and advise your allies to do the same ,with your help,this beast can be starved.

Telegram to Frenzian Government:

The fleets which have been sent to you with humanitarian aide and basic mechanical equiptment are on the way and are nearing the blockade. With luck our ships shall soon reach your harbors.

A fleet of humanitarian aid destined for Frenzian harbors is approaching your blockade. Be advised, the crewmembers are carrying personal small arms. Repeat crewmembers are carrying personal small arms.

The task force that would escort the supply ships had doubled back on its course toward her homewaters, and had rendevouzed with the supply convoy almost ten hours ahead of time. The supply ships had quickly been moved into the inner parts of the fleet, and they began steaming for Frenzia as fast as they could.



(OOC: Yeah, just a filler post, but I think it's needed somewhat.)

Secret IC: Our plane was to take the missile apart so it was in two seperate parts: the head and the rest of the body. We would make the head look like a heavy duty drill head. We would then use the rest of the Scuds as center support columns for the heavy duty drills. The drills would be put on already assembled cranes which we could then ship to you. We also plan on disguising the APCs (we have something that can do that for us well) as farming equipment.
IC: A large amount of land has been bought in Frenzia. The acres that were bought are ideal mining and farming land. As a result, NBF LLC (Northern Baltic Farming Limited Liability Corperation) and NBMI (Northern Baltic Mining Industries) have sent workers to manage the land. These workers and their machinary have been sent to Frenzia on a fleet carrying no weapons or escorts. The Northern Baltic still remains neutral in this conflict and by no means wishes to aid Frenzia.

We thank you for your aid in this time of need.We will prepare harbor facilities for your arrival.

To:The Northern Baltic

From:The Frenzian Defense Council

We thank you for your offer but we do not want to risk provoking Raven corps and creating an unnecessary conflict at this time.

We are simply trying to expand our resources. We need more farmland and more metal and besides, it's good for your econamy. We have full confidence that the ships will pass through inspection quickly and easily. When they arrive, we will began building on the land. You can expect a nice amount of econamic growth as well.

The blockade was working, and so was the plan. Ships from all over all eager to give to the hurting nation. The world tears fell on Frenzia, and they fell on the people. The blockade was ready for the Aid ships to come in. As promised no hostile action where going to be taken. As long as the people giving where not hostile first....

To Frenzia:

The Imperial Administrative Region of Nicksyllvanian Frenzia can spare enough food to feed 10,000 people for 6 months. We also wish that you do not take our recent construction of fortifications to be an aggressive move, they are merely fieldworks in preparation for a possible Raven Corps invasion. We also wish to bring in 2 Divisions of Soldiers to Defend our Colony.

"Yes sir, I have stayed updated with the issue"
"Good, you are to speak with their commander and arrange a settlement that would benefit our Empire the most, ensure maximum secrecy."
"Of course sir"
CLINK
Kosslinck quickly dialed the Nicksyllvanian Frenzia Colonial Police, the Pseudo Military organization to of the small colony.
"Captain, I want a APC at FNAD-43-2453 at 6:45, have a 4 man honour guard. You are to recieve the guest and bring him promptly to Central Administration. Ensure he is treated like the Emperor himself."
"Affirmative"

"Raven Corps ships starboard side!", yelled a young salior
"Good. Slow down and prepare for inspection.", said Capitan Cromwell.
"Yes, sir", said First Lt. Lewis.
The Thor stayed on the outskirts of the blockade while the merchent ships slowed down and prepared for boarding. After the merchent ships unloaded their cargo, they would meet The Thor outside of the blockade which would then escort them the rest of the way back home.

AS the cargo ships pulled along side of the blockade the Sf troopers on board the Inspection craft baorded with extreme percision. The troopers lined the edge of the Ships deck and awaited for the Lead inspection Trooper to come aboard. Their metal masked faces and red tinted glass eyes gave no hint of emotion just pure cold, unforgiving brute force stood still asthe Trooper came on. But unlike to MEatpuppet troopers that made up about 90% of the Raven SF, the lead inspection Trooper was almost normal. His demeaner was strong and stern, yet at the same time understanding and unviolent. He had no intention of hurting anyone.

The lead inspector looked around and asked for a full ship manifest of the ships cargo. The inspection would begin after that.....

Fishing boat.... New Nick Frenzian Colony...


The fishing ships made good time as it started to dock at the Appointed location of the meeting place. Inside was Sec. Gen. Markum the original general who was in charge of the first invasion of Frenzia. Same General, different plan.....

Commodore Abrams stood next to the keel of the lead cargo ship in the convoy. They were nearing the outskirts of the blockade and had slowed to allow Raven Corps ships to come alongside. From the radio the sound of a sailor piped over the intercom.
"Raven Corps ships spotted to starboard side commodore."

" So many aid ships so little concern for this stupid inspections." said the Raven corps Blockade Fleet commander as he dispatched another Inpection team to the new convoy of ships.

The new team made its arrival like every other on. Large transport like ship pulled up next to the Cargo ship and the teams board the craft, and this ship inspection was no different. The ship pulled along aide the lead cargo ship and the Troopers stormed aboard. The lead inspection trooper demanded a shippment manifest....

SIC:
An IVT3 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v255/physcoredferret/INAF-IVT3.png) pulled over to the fishing boat to greet the guest. A liutenant hopped out, although he did not know whom he was to recieve, he did know he was to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. The Small honour guard also came out, Rifles pointed upwards in a nonthreatening manner.

He moved towards the fishing vessel, presumably containing the guest considering the time and location. He met the man.

"Forgive the crude transportation sir, we haven't had the opportunity to start shipping over more comfortable civilian vehicles yet. You won't have to suffer such inconvenience for long as Central is just a 10 minute drive."

Will post soon

Jon Ferdonson was in charge of carrying the list for the 45 merchent ships carrying both food and aid to Frenzia. He handed the thick 55 paged document containing the entire inventory of all the ships down to the last bannana.
"Here is the list you requested", he said. "I hope this dosen't take to long... our refrigeration is know to be... under par."

The ships of the massive force continued plying through the waters on their way toward Frenzia. Inside the ICS Kraken's FCIC, Admiral Yamamoto continued going over the latest satellite scans of the area in question.
"Sir, how do we treat this blockade when we approach it?" one of his senior officers asked, a bit bewildered.
"Quite easily, Captain. We keep on going," the admiral replied.
"Not even stop?" asked another officer, surprised.
"Nope, the blockade's illegal and illegitimate. If we succesfully run it, other ships will realize that the Raven Corps. ships are all bark and no bite," he said, flipping pages of survellience reports.
"So, we're just going to keep going?" one asked, incredulous. "What if they fire?"
"Yes, in 13 hours, we will go straight through the blockade. And, of course, if they fire, we will return fire and clear the blockade in a non-diplomatic way," he replied, chuckling a little.

To:Imperial Main Assault Task Force

From:Task Force Alpha/Task Force Bravo

We have recently been called back out of Operation New Dawn,our commanders back home have expressed an interest in destroying the blockade.We will be running the blockade and if you wish to do the same we would like to link up with you.We will have assistance from Task Force Charlie which is currently being deployed on the inside of the blockade as well as coastal guns and anti ship missile batteries.Although Raven corps has a large number of ships we think we will easily be able to destroy the blockade.

Frenzia

The ships that had been readied months ago launched from various ports along the Frenzian coast.Although they were being launched from different ports they would link up within three hours and would sail to just out of range of anything Raven ships would have.

Across Frenzia at various observatory type structures lasers shone into the sky.These lasers were blinding Raven corps spy satellites to prevent them from seeing the naval fleet leaving.

6 Starfire Missile Batteries opened up and let loose 6 Starfire anti satellite missiles.The missiles streaked through the sky and into space heading for the Raven satellites.

OOC: BUMP

OOC: post is on the way.

ooc: Bump

The missiles did not go unnoticed. Domar operators where alerted as they reached visual levels. The blockade had a 3 full augmentation of Arsenal ships which where loaded with the H.A.E.S.Bs And it did not take along before they came to life. Firing counter missiles into the air. The sky lite up with the Raven corps missiles. All training in on the missiles heading for The Raven corps Intell Sat's.

The fleets commanding officer gave the order as the events unfolded.

" All Troopers to battle stations!, Turn all Aiding ships back, if they try to negoitiate kill them. If they dont trun around at sea, give a warning after warning wait then open fire."

The Arsenal ships of the Blockade which where spreed out in the blockade and covered alot of area, making them 100x more dangerous then the last time. And as the orders came in the ships began the operation of firing their payloads at preset targets. This time around 800 Arsenals where in the blockade. The damage capability was astronomical. The ships took about 20 mins to ready the missiles and fire. The missiles fired in unison, lighting the whole night sky up. the entire blockade visible from the beaches.

Guns on the Command ships opened fire on the Beach heads where the sats had already found activity. The 150 mm guns would pound the shores for days if they had to, unleashing hundreds of HE rounds.

Mean while the Carriers readied the ORCA for ASAP ddeployment of the SF. The invasion would be unstoppable....

Jon Ferdonson was in charge of carrying the list for the 45 merchent ships carrying both food and aid to Frenzia. He handed the thick 55 paged document containing the entire inventory of all the ships down to the last bannana.
"Here is the list you requested", he said. "I hope this dosen't take to long... our refrigeration is know to be... under par."

As the Inspection leader got the paper he got his orders from the command. The inspection leader dropped the papers and gave the order to turn the aid ship around. As he gave the order the SF on the ships stormed off making sure their weapons where trained on the ships. And agian from a loud speaker the inspection leader yelled

"As ordered by the Raven board of Assets control, if at anytime the Frenzian government fires upon Raven assets the aid flow will be ceased and ships turned away to ensure your saftey. So please remove your ships from the area. Frenzia has started the conflict."

Through the windscreens of the FCIC, Admiral Yamamoto could see the bright glows on the horizon as the task force came in.
"Fuck, those bastards are opening fire!" Quickly, he reached over to the side of his chair and picked up a phone. Hitting the "talk" button, he could hear the loudspeakers crackle on. "Attention all hands, attention all hands! All hands, man your battlestations! All hands man your battlestations, this is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill!" He set the phone down sharply and hit another button on the multi-functional armrest. Instantly, flashing red lights illuminated the ship, and a blaring klaxon went off. "Fire cotnrol, give me a range!" he ordered.

"Sir, 100 miles and closing. Bearing 30 degrees of the starboard bow!"

"Helm, increase speed to Flank Speed. Come 30 degrees starboard. Fire control, standby to fire on my mark!" He waited for the ships to complete the turns. He picked up the phone again, switching it to all-ship mode. "All ships, assume manual combat control. Pick your targets and fire at will." He set the phone down again. "Fire control, fire in three...two...one...MARK!"

At his order, 7 of the Kraken's 19 forward 30", triple-mount, railcannons fired, jolting the ship horribly, the report rattling the windows. Across the ocean and fleet, the dreadnaughts and battlecarriers accompanying the Kraken and the supply ships began opening fire at the blockade, picking whatever targets they could. Great flashes of light lit up across the fleet until the air was surely filled with a great volume of tungsten projectiles.

"Prepare the flight deck. Arm the fighters with air-to-air missiles and prepare for anti-air operations."

OOC:You wouldn't be able to intercept my anti satellite missiles,they were fired from the opposite side of my nation and they don't target the satellite till they get very high in the atmosphere,almost into space.

IC:

Out at Sea

As soon as the missiles were fired they were picked up on both Frenzian radar and the radar of the ships that were part of Task Force Charlie.Task Force Charlie responded and the Ticonderoga Classes responded by firing RIM-67 Standard Missiles into the air.The missiles intercepted many of the missiles coming from the arsenal ships but could not track all of them.The rest of these missiles continued speeding toward Frenzia.As they came closer and closer the Frenzian Air Defense System sprung to action,missiles fired up from all over the nation and intercepted a large portion of the arsenal ship's missiles.Finnally airships that were originally designed for defending Carrier Task Forces that had been found to be effective at defending cities were used.CIWS also sprang to life and began to rip the munitions to shreads.Everything that could be used to take out the missiles were used but the amount of munitions was too great,the cities which were very well protected were spared and the munitions were left to fall over the country side doing little damage but still proving to CENCOM that something needed to be done.Within minutes it was time...........

Coastal Batteries along the coast let loose,the sky was filled with 508 mm shells heading straight for the arsenal ships.30 Scorpion Anti-Ship Missile batteries let loose adding to the carnage.These sea skimming missiles were also heading for the arsenal ships.Task Force Charlie would respond.The massive guns of the Tribute Doujin both the 20 30" Guns and the 12 8" guns fired towards the Raven Blockade aiming also for arsenal ships.The Tribute Doujin let loose with anti shipping missiles coming from 16 144-Cell (12x12) Dual-layer VLS batteries.Khan anti shipping missiles would pour out of 12 8 celled launchers.All this only issued from one ship.The CG-47 Ticonderoga-classes sent literally over 1000 Tomahawk missiles speeding for the arsenal ships.The Raven blockade would find themselves under a rain of fire coming from the inside the blockade.It wasn't over.The ships of Task Force Alpha and Bravo let loose with their own torrent.The Tribute Doujin of Task Force Alpha let loose with the same force the Tribute Doujin of Task Force Charlie let loose with.The Ticonderoga-classes were fewer than in Task Force Charlie so fewer munitions flew towards the Raven ships however the sky was still filled and it would still rain down on the Raven ships.Bombers were scrambled and began the flight towards the Raven corps blockade.Total destruction of the blockade would be met.

Frenzian Forces Base Delta

A wing of Sonic bombers took off and split into squadrons.These bombers began flying low under the radar,after they got out to sea they would fly low over the sea.They were headed for the Raven blockade to cause some destruction.Although they were large bombers they were designed to be fast and would reach range of their weapons in 4 or 5 hours.

OOC: dont forget the Arsenal ship attacks.... you have a nation killing amount of missiles heading towards you. Just about every city will have glowing lights soon. And soon the nation will light up.

OOC:My mistake,I confused the two different ships and types of missiles.I've edited it so just re-read it.

Morning Star
Casper by now had got used to these inspections; every time the Raven storm troopers would come onto the ship; act like they were king of the place; not find anything then move on. Alarm Klaxons went off throughout the ship as smoke trails from missiles were seen flying back and forth from both sides some exploding in the air.

"Oh Christ on a cracker!" Casper exclaimed in his Irish accent; "HARD to starboard!" he said simply.

The large Cargo Vessel started to lazily turn; the trouble with large ships like the morning star was there very large turning circle; they'd be almost on-top of the blockade by the time the ship had reached a hard port turn. Their Escort Destroyer turned with them.

"Roger; break out the assault rifles! In-case we have to fight; those Raven boys have Itchy trigger fingers they might just open fire on us for the sake of it" Casper Ordered

"Aye, Aye!" Roger replied as he dashed off to get the AR-11's and several of the newly purchased DAC-99's.

ADF Sophia Alexander
"Skipper; The Raven Corp have opened fire" Lieutenant West said quickly as his Radar screen lit up like a Christmas tree from the missile exchanges.

"Turn to Port, Mr Hawk; Stay with the Morning Star; she's slow and lumbers a bit; we might get ourselves caught in this war" Captain Parker spoke as he adjusted his baseball cap baring the ships name on it. The Alexander turned with her turned with her companion vessel though as a daring class could almost turn on a dime sticking with the Morning star gave her greater protection.

"All hands to battle stations; Bring all weapons online; load VLS tubes and gun batteries lets not get caught with our pants down" Captain Parker ordered quickly

"Aye, Aye skipper; all hands to battle stations; bring all weapons online; load VLS tubes and gun batteries" the XO Repeated as the Battle-station Klaxon was sounded through the ship crew started to rush to there assigned stations as they got ready to fight.

FCIC,
ICS Kraken,
70 Nm from blockade...

"Admiral! There's a cargo ship and an escort destroyer caught between us and the blockade!" one of the radarmen yelled. "I don't think they'll get out in time!"

"Shit!" swore Yamamoto, which was odd since he rarely used foul language. "Fire control, watch your turrets' aim! DO NOT HIT THEM!" Once again, he picked up the phone and alerted the task force, "all ships, be advised. Innocent ship in the vacinity. Check your fire!" He checked with his other officers.

"Sir, destroyers Matsuyama and Fujiyama are at the front of the Task Force. We can dispatch them ahead to try and protect the two ships and escort them the hell out of there," one officer said.
"I agree, Sir," another said. "They've got enough armarment to protect themselves, and they've got to speed to catch up." The class that the Matsuyama and Fujiyama belonged to, the Yama-class ("Mountain"), were extremely light (compared to the other classes), yet were still equipped with the same engines as the larger dreadnaughts. This calculated into incredible speed. When pushed to the edge, Yama-Class ships could attain 40 knots or slightly higher.
"Alright then, dispatch those two up there and cover that cargo ship's retreat!"
"Aye aye, Sir!"
===========================================
ICS Matsuyama...

The destroyer was already barreling toward the blockade with the rest of the task force at a healthy speed of 34 knots. Her bow was riding fairly high, and each time she crested a wave and came down, the bow would briefly submerge, quickly re-emerging in a massive spray of water. Still 70 miles out, her guns remained silent, too small to reach the blockade. Inside the bridge, it was obvious that the crew was being affected by the constant pitching.
"Captain," yelled one of the officers over the roar of the sea, and the booming of the larger guns in the fleet, not to mention her own engines. "Orders from the admiral! We're needed to cover two Animarnian ships caught between us and the blockade!"
"Ah shit!" yelled the captian. By covering the ships, his own vessel would be put in the crossfire; easier for the enemy to shoot at, and with the possiblity of friendly fire.
"Sir, we're to increase speed to 40 knots and cover them along with the Fujiyama!"
The captain looked out the port windscreen. Roughly 200 yards off to port was the Fujiyama, pitching just as much as the Matsuyama. As he watched, it began accelerating. "All right. All engines ahead flank!" Seconds after ordering it, the roar of the engines grew even louder and hull began to shudder as the speed climbed. Now, rather than hitting the trough of waves, the bow just shot right from crest to crest, producing a bone-jarring shudder. The pair began moving past some of the othe escort ships, the larger battlecruisers, and then the smaller CIWS cruisers until they were clear of the task force.
"Sir, we've got the ships on radar," yelled the operator.
"Aye, adjust course to intercept."
"Aye aye, sir!"
======================================

As the task force closed in, they began adding roughly 200 AGM-84 Harpoon missiles, tipped with high-explosive "Burst" charges (explanation later), to the massive volumes of metal flying at the blockade.

The Bridge of the Sophia Alexander was alive with activity as people went about their tasks prepared to defend themselves and the cargo ship Morning star.

"Contact baring 285 Degrees; North West; coming in fast skipper" an office exclaimed loudly to alert the bridge crew.

"Bloody hell; is it Raven Crop Mr Walsh?" Parked asked.

"Can't Tell Skipper; could be but it looks like its coming from the other fleet; I can't tell if its hostile or not but its definitely coming for us" Walsh offered.

"Report on our weapons situation Mr Hawk?"

"All VLS Tubes are loaded with Anti-shipping missiles; and All gun batteries are loaded Skipper; we're as ready for a fight as we'll ever be" the XO Nathaniel Hawk reported as Shells whizzed overhead and exploded nearby as Raven Corp ships were targeted

ICS Matsuyama...

Bracing himself expertly against the shuddering hull, the captain stood at the forward windscreen, observing the flashes that were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, he realized that the Animarnian ships would have no clue that they were friendlies. "Comm, put out a call on the commercial channels, tell them we're friendly before that destroyer mistakes us for Raven Corps. ships."
"Aye, captain!"

Attention Animarnian ships, this is the Imperial Court's Ship
Matsuyama. We are inbound to provide additional cover to escort
you out of the combat area. Please hold your fire and acknowledge.

"Skipper; we’re getting a message from the approaching ships" Walsh spoke quickly.

"What's it say?" the captain said turning his full attention to the radar and radio operator.

"Attention Animarnian ships, this is the Imperial Court's Ship Matsuyama. We are inbound to provide additional cover to escort you out of the combat area. Please hold your fire and acknowledge" Walsh repeated word for word

"Oh thank gods" the captain spoke; "Hold you fire; all batteries" Parker ordered quickly.

"Aye Aye skipper, Hold fire All batteries" the XO repeated.

The Captain picked up the radio microphone and spoke into it.

"This is Captain Parker of the ADV Sophia Alexander; We Acknowledge your message; We're here to baby-sit the Cargo-ship trouble is the old girl is big and slow; she'll be almost right on top of the blockade before she's completed a hard turn. It's likely we're going to end up in a firefight with Raven Corp"

A Frenzian Intel satellite began to paint a better picture of the area.Pictures and video showing the various locations of ships were now displayed on a large video screen in Frenzian CENCOM and CENCOM sent it to the Capital ships of Task Forces,Alpha,Bravo and Charlie.Their fire was adjusted slightly to avoid hitting anywhere close to aid ships.This meant however that a few Arsenal ships could not be targeted by the fire.Finally a radio message was sent out on all radio channels.

''Attention all aid ships,attention all aid ships.As you can plainly see we are now locked in combat with Raven corps,we advise traveling away from the blockade immediately,to avoid fire head south west.

Captain, the Matsuyama and Fujiyama, our partner, are equipped
with 8 eight inch guns, 8 torpedo tubes, 6 50mm guns, and several 20mm.
We can't win against several ships, but we can provide cover from one or
two capital ships or a few smaller ones. We'll be at your position in
half an hour. Until then, don't provoke the Raven Corps. ships.

"Sir, we have shells exploding everywhere!", shouted the Capitan.
"Calm down!", shouted the War Council head, Max Love,"NBN 4th Battlefleet reports that they are in visual range. Repeat: NBN 4th Battlefleet reports that they are in visual range."
"Visual sighting confermed", now at last we can....
He could not finish his sentence because several rounds smashed into the hull of his ship, The Thor.
"Capitan, damage report. I repeat: Capitan damage report."
......static
"I think we lost him... wait. Capitan we are requesting an immediate damage report now!"
"The ships been hit pretty bad. Several rounds smashed right into our fowerd munitions compartment. We're taking in water fast. I gave the abandon ship order already."
"You've done your best Capitan. Now let Admiral Ironsights diffuse the situation."
"Yes sir!"
The ship was abandoned. 14 men were lost in the explosion, while 20 suffered minor injuries.
"Now Capitan, who the bloody hell fired on you?"
"I don't know, sir, but I think it was Raven Corps."
"Raven Corps? We'll teach them a bloody lesson they'll never forget!"
The 6th NBN Battlefleet met up with the rest of the ships and the Stalingrad Class Battlecruiser targeted the closest Raven Corps ship, but before they opened fire, the Admiral opened a comm channel with them.
"Why the hell would you fire on our bloody ship?!"
He waited for a responce before he began to open fire.

"Aye; don't worry about us; We can hold our own; we're sitting on 48 VLS Cells; a 4.5 inch cannon; several 20mm and 2 30mm KCB guns. We're good to go if they try and pick a fight; it’s the cargo ship that we have to worry about. Though it worst comes to worst they can evacuate and use it as a shield or giant battering ram"

The Captain Looked out at the explosions getting closer and closer

OOC: Bump for Raven,yes i'm impatient .

Colderon had gotten the message about the escelating conflict within Frenzian waters. And the Sats that where being targeted by the missiles where not defenseless. Everything was falling into his plan... Soon he could use the newest weapon to have ever been produced by the Raven corps research team.....


Meanwhile the fleet continued the missile attack as well as the shelling of the beach heads across the Frenzian nation. On the carriers Orcas finished loading up and began to take off. Loking like a swarm of wasps they took to the air flying low, so low they could reach out and touch the water. The missiles on the Orcas took aim at the on shore anti-air batteries and anti-landing implacments. In unison the missile left their holders and glided like water striders off the oceans top.

In the back of the fleet The Talon class Heavy battleships opened fire on the Pschycotic Pschycos. Their 40 inch laser assisted connons fired in rapid succession some shells where even tac. nukes. It was like a constant flow of fire power continuely left the blockading fleet. The soldiers on top stepped over the bodies of the fallen and continued to thier duties. But something else happened that probably no one else knew would ever happen. Small holes of the sides of the ships began to pour poison into the water. Killing the local sea life. But the toxin also served a second effect the top of the water was now flammable. Some of the rear Arsenal ships fired Black Naplam Missiles at the Pschycotic Pschycos fleet., as well as the Frenzian fleet that came to try and drive the Raven forces out.

-------------------------------------------------


Meanwhile...SIC

The last of the 1st Talon Fleet had been assembled. Some of the best ships in the world made this fleet. Hundreds of them Battleships, battle crusiers, Arsenal ships numbering in ways that would numb the mind. And the fleet was on its way...

OOC: Raven, what's the range on those cannons, and what do you mean by "laser assisted"?

OOC: The Raven cannons can push out to about 10 miles at the very absolute max. And the Laser assist means that a laser get the exact coordinates of a target and a computer adjusts the canons power depanding on current atmospheric conditions.

OOC: K, thanks

Several bright flashes out in front of the fleet caught the attention of the deck crew in the Kraken's FCIC. "What the bloody hell was that?" yelled Admiral Yamamoto, knowing the answer but asking it involuntarily anyway.
"Sir, the tracking satellites' sensors indicate low yield nuclear blasts at those coordinates," answered one of the officers.
"Those motherfucking bastards!" said Yamamoto, slamming his fist on the armrest. "All engines halt. Turn broadside to the blockade and fire everything we've got!"
"Aye sir, all engines halt, turning broadside," said the helmsman. Slowly, the massive ship and fleet responded. Additionally, all the CIWS cruisers moved to the blockade side to act as shields. Which was fortunate because the missiles were discovered next. Walls of CIWS fire flared up into the sky, followed by traditional AAA and flak. Many missiles were caught before hitting the fleet, but soon one could see several bright flashes as a score of the cruisers were hit, and even a couple destroyers and battlecruisers.

In retaliation, the artillery bombardment from the ships' cannons increased with their new broadside alignment, as did the missiles firing until there were well over 200 flying in toward the Raven Corps. blockade, along with all the artillery shells.

OOC: Still more later!

The rear ships of the Blockade began to feel to pains of the Pschycotic Pschycos cannons. Many of the Support ships which where rarely armored took the most damage, many of the ones in the area sank as the attack continued. As the Fleet commander received news of the Pschycotic Pschycosflagship turing broadside, he gave the order to attack at full capacity...

- Raven Arsenal ship... SIC for now

The orders had come it and the action was set. The attack for choice was to use hybrid torpedos. A torpedo with the ability to be fired like a traditional torpedo but had the ability to jump out of the water before maing contact. The tubes where loaded with about 10 torpedos. After the calcuations where set the torps left their tubes which where about 50 feet below the surface.


IC...

As the battle with the Pschycotic Pschycos waged from the back the fire from the front towards the coastline intensified. Now many more of the shells have been changed to low yeild Tac. nukes to help clear out the coastline defenses...

The Orcas that had been skimming the water line where now only about 1 hundred yards out from the coastlines the Sf troopers inside eager to fight...

OOC: If it helps, "Pschycotian" is the shortened form of my name.

As the Raven torpedos came further out toward the Pschycotian task force, their cavitation couldn't help but be picked up by the passive sonar systems of the ships. The FCIC was quickly overrun by incoming reports from many of the ships that were picking up the incoming torpedos. By this time, Admiral Yamamoto was busy looking over a real-time top-down map of the engagement, trying to plan out a strategy beyond sitting and shooting. In his lieu, his deputy officer, Vice Admiral Ishimaru, had taken over. However, given the depth of the contacts and his only idea of interception, we was forced to interrupt Admiral Yamamoto.
"Admiral-sama. We have multiple incoming contacts. Depth is roughly 15 meters," he said.
"What's your reccomendation, Admiral?" questioned Yamamoto.
"Sir, I reccomend a nuclear interception," he answered. "They've already used them offensively, so I think it's warranted we use them defensively."
"Aye, I agree," said the admiral. He left his position and went over to his chair. He entered in a 20 digit password to activate the nuclear missile selections. He quickly entered coordinates for an intercept and OK'd the launch for one medium-yield tactical nuclear missile. They could hear the massive gears switching missiles in the forward facing launchers. The ship shuddered with the launch, and they could see the smoke trail heading out as the missile went to its target, followed by a massive flash and smoke column as it detonated roughly on top of the incoming torpedos.

As missiles continued to spew from the arsenal ships and towards Frenzia they were picked off by Task Force Charlie and coastal defenses.Although the anti satellite missiles were picked off they Raven corps satellites were still blinded by lasers.Then all across Frenzia all hell broke loose.

Alarms rang out everywhere and people found themselves running towards bomb shelters,soldiers began dressing in chemical suits.It had been detected the Raven corps had used a low yield tactical nuke and more were heading for the coast.Not only that but there were Orca transports heading for the beaches.

F-22s that were on patrol responed immediately and many more were scrambled and in the air.air to air missiles screamed towards the Orcas,as well as a few SAMs.The SAMs were focused on taking out the tactical nukes being used on the beaches and were effective,however they were also shooting down missiles from the arsenal ships.The difference between the Tactical nukes and arsenal ships missiles could been seen on radar and all of the tactical nukes were shot down,but more arsenal ships pounded across the country side and two came dangerously close to a town.It was time for Frenzia to make a big move.

Task Forces Alpha,Bravo and Charlie continued pouring everything they had,hundreds of shells,thousands of missiles all heading straight for the arsenal ships and now the bombers.

6 groups of 6 bombers had spread out along the blockade,flying extremely low across the water,under the radar.From 240 km out they opened their bomb bays doors and each let loose 12 Scorpion is a sea-skimming anti-ship missiles.These missiles would scream to their targets and fly extremely low over the water and would impact enemy ships just above the water line.These missiles were also heading straight for the arsenal ships.

More bombers launched from Frenzia,hundreds of them,all prepared to take out the blockade.Two more Naval fleets were being prepared.

Coastal defenses continued firing out towards the ships,heavy long range guns and land based Scorpion anti ship missiles.

Troops could now see the Orcas as they came towards the beach,it was time for a fight....


OOC:Shouldn't some of my missiles and shells being hitting your arsenal ships?

OOC: If it helps, "Pschycotian" is the shortened form of my name.

The ship shuddered with the launch, and they could see the smoke trail heading out as the missile went to its target, followed by a massive flash and smoke column as it detonated roughly on top of the incoming torpedos.


The Explosion from the nuclear interception of the Torpedos was felt well into the outer rims of the blockade. Being Raven corps ships the EMP effect was almost unfelt buy the shock wave was. The wave powerfu enough to sink a couple Arsenal ship, and a damaged Heavy Talon Crusier. The Interception was successful... not only in taking out the torpedos, but also in delaying the baombardment of the Pschycotian task force. As the bright light of the explosion gave way, the sky became dominated by Raven return fire. Missiles, Torps, and Cannon fire.

On the Coastline side the Cruisers spotted the incoming missiles and unloaded thier quad-GAU-88 .50 cal. Gatlin guns. The water was then lite up with rounds fire which almost got the water in the area to boiling. The guns took most of the sea skimmers but not all. The remaining skimmers took out more support ships which exploded in a masterful light of muntions exploded. The Orcas that where about inland to the coastline began to take battery fire from the coast defenses. The most incoming missiles where taken out with flares and anti-missile gatlings on the outside of the orca. But a few Orcas where hit and where taken out. AS the Orcas made land fall over the beach head hovering only about 30 ft off the ground sending sand everywhere, they unloaded thier own quad GAU-88 gatlins and set each gatling to a different area. The manuvaer was quite effective and rittled the beach head with rounds as close to 40 seperate gatlings attacked the area. As well as missiles from the pods held on the wings.

At the commander ship all was not well as the reports of bombers where en route to the area. The command was given to activate all H.A.E.S.B's and all GAU-88s and prepare for airel attacks.

As he turned away from the nuclear blast, Yamamoto finalized his attack plans for the next turn of the battle. His next idea was to rapidly scramble fighters into the sky to take out the Orcas on the Frenzian beachhead. He picked up his telephone and made a fleetwide call to inform all commanders of the next plan. He quickly rattled off ships' names and a number of fighters for each to launch until he had ordered a total of 100 fighters into the sky. Within minutes of the order, fighters thundered off the flight deck below the FCIC, and the other two decks flanking the Kraken's superstructure.

The fighters employed by the Pschycotian navy were the F-14H model. This was a custom varient on the older F-14 fighter. Important to note for this model was an improved engine that pumped its speed up to mach 2.8 and was nearly stall-proof. It had a highly improved airframe that utilized many new materials. This lightened the frame, while making it much stronger. This allowed it to do much steeper dives, and it had even been known to be used in a dive-bomber role every once in a while. Attached to the underside of each was 4 AIM-120 AMRAAM air to air missiles, along with 2 AGM-84E anti-shipping missiles, tipped with Burst* warheads. The best part of the F-14H was its skin. Its skin was made of a type of material similar to a one-way mirror. It was constructed to interact with radio waves, such as the ones radar uses. In this manner, radar waves would penetrate the reinforced glass outer-skin, bounce of the metal skin, and hit the reflective side of the outer-skin, becoming trapt. In this way, the only return would be from the missiles, giving the impression that there were missiles in the air, rather than fighters.

The group of fighters climbed up to 25,000 feet before attempting to run over the blockade to the beachhead. At this altitude they began their attempted overflight.

Meanwhile, the incoming missiles were met by yet another wall of CIWS, AAA, and flak. Even the dual-purpose 8 inch cannons on the ships were firing out in front of the missiles. Explosions lit up the sky, but another 6 cruisers and 3 battlecruisers succumbed to the missiles.

A similar defense was launched against the torpedoes. Several of the ships in the fleet had large rocket batteries. These spat out huge volleys of rockets tipped with heavy concusion warheads. These arced out and hit the water ahead of the torpedos, producing crippling shockwaves. Several ships responded with their own time set torpedos, also with concusion warheads. These were slightly less efficient, but also helped. Unfortunatly, yet another 4 cruisers, and 5 destroyers sank below. Suddenly, a dreadnaught was lit up by a wave of explosions as 4 torpedoes struck her at once. An even greater explosion ripped her in half at midships as one of the magazines was struck. Slowly, and on fire and groaning, the two halves sank under.

Next to launch was the second part of Yamamoto's plan. The attack submarines of the fleet, Lionfish-Class, were equipped with several verticle torpedo tubes. Silently, these killers sank beneath something that is known as the thermocline, an abrupt temperature shift that prevents the transmittence of sound waves. From here, they would sneak under the blockade and rip apart their undersides with dual directional blast torpedos.

(*The Burst warhead is a custom warhead that has a directional charge that explodes outward. Due to this, the impact site might look like a normal missiles strike, however, the inside of the thing hit would be increasingly ripped apart. This maximized damage over a standard missile.)

Beachhead Alpha (The first beach your hitting)


Explosions lit up the beach as CIWS stopped shells from raining down on the beach.Soldiers on the beach watched as SAMs and Mammoth Artillery fired everything the had at the approaching Orcas.Air to Air missiles and now 20mm Gatling gun rounds cut through the sky,screaming towards the Orcas.Heavy machine guns along the beach opened fire spraying hot lead towards the Orcas.CIWS let loose and rounds flew through the sky.The Orcas were now hovering above the beach,sand blew around and soldiers watched as rounds flew towards them.Soldiers with Stingers popped up and fired at the Orcas.The Orcas then fired back.Missiles flew towards the beach but were stopped by CIWS.The gun rounds rained down on the beach.Most of the soldiers were in trenches and bunkers and were spared but those firing at the Orcas were hit.7 soldiers were killed.

At Sea

All three task forces continued to unload with everything they had,using HALO systems they were able to pinpoint the exact locations of arsenal ships and guide missiles and shells straight to them.The bombers had split into many different wings of 6 and flew only meters above the ocean.This would make it extremely hard for Raven corps ships to track all of them.It was about to get even harder.The bombers bay doors opened up and hundreds of Scorpion anti ship missiles poured out..This was only from the bombers,the Raven corps ships now had to track hundreds of bombers,hundreds of air fired Scorpions,hundreds of surface fired Scorpions,shells from coastal guns,shells from two Tribute Class Doujin Dreads and thousands of cruise missiles.All this was heading straight for the Arsenal ships.Soon they would have to deal with more,as the bombers bay doors closed and they flew back towards Frenzia,another sortie was being prepared as well as two more Naval Task Forces that would be ready to go in less than a week.Raven would be stopped.

OOC: Dont think you understand how much ammunition is being fired right now..lol .... Hey I need this next few attacks to go well. But dont worry something good will happen ..lol

The Orcas where taking fire from all sides. Most of the small arms fire was nothing to the Orca armor but the heavier fire from the gun implacments where getting pretty annoying. The time to drop was coming. In alternating fashion the orcas dropped their load of soldiers about 50 per. With the first drop about 5000 soldier took to the beach stroming into trenches and up the beach. With guns rasied and weapons firing. The coordination was flawless. the plans execution perfect. With the second drop the first set rose to the air and gave support from above while the second delivered the soldiers. Millions of rounds had to have come from the orcas as the operation went underway. With the situation becoming more bloddy by the second the second wave of troops stromed the already attacked trenches, some jumping over them and running to the bunkers firing thier weapons as they ran. Some soldier where so into their mission that the wounds they received almost didn't even phase them. Some with missing limbs and bleeding.

OOC: dont forget about the incoming fire I gave you right after the nuke blast...

Aye, it's in there.

Alpha Beach Head

The Frenzian troops were pinned down by the heavy mini gun fire and missiles coming from the Orcas.The troops kept down in the trenches and away from the slits in the bunkers,the tings of rounds could be heard deflecting off of the cement.The Orcas began dropping troops onto the beach and as the Raven corps troops ran up the beach they began detonating mines,those that made it past the mines would have to fight themselves through rows of barb wire.Through all of the confusion Frenzian troops returned fire.Heavy machine guns blasted away and shells from hastily aimed mortars came at the Raven troops.The Frenzian soldiers on the beach were out numered however,and called for assistance.Two battalions defending beach heads to the east and west of Beach head Alpha set out,they would begin to attempt to flank Raven corps from both sides.From the north a tank battalion and an armoured infantry battalion would support the men already on the beach.Artillery was just being coodinated and would soon rain down on the beach.From a nearby base JSFs took off,loaded for an air to ground role.Although Raven boots had touched the ground they would not remain there for long.

At Sea

The Task Forces seemed to be doing well,tens of thousands of munitions had been fired from both ships and shore batteries.Although at first the fire had hit mostly supply ships it was being pinpointed directly to the arsenal ships.Wave after wave of munitions would pour towards the ships.It was time to get rid of them for good.

OOC: Bump

Just as easily as it started,it had ended.The Orcas could been seen picking up their troops and fleeing.The Raven ships stopped firing and turned and fled.It was over.What was expected to be a long and brutal war ended with Frenzia only losing 7 men.A memorial service was held for the men that had died.Across Frenzia things returned to normal.Fortifications that had been built were dismantled,trenches filled.Troops returned back to base.The large Naval Task Forces returned to port.But the help Frenzia got would not be forgotten...

Frenzian National News

A blue screen flickered off to show a male and female anchor seated behind a desk.

''Hi,I'm Gloria Roberts,''said the women quite cheerfully.


''And,I'm Jack Brown,''the man added.

''Our top story today,a large statue was erected in Freedom Square in honor of the nations that provided aid during this war.The Frenzian government also expressed an urge in creating relations with these nations by opening embassies.''

Message to Nations That Provided Aid:

From The Frenzia External Affairs Council:

We must first thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your aid.We expected a bigger display from Raven corps and are glad we did not get one.We would be extremely interested in opening up relations with your nations.


IC: The bodies of various Raven corps soldiers were taken to research stations for testing of equipment and to attempt to understand how the birthing process works and how the soldiers are improved.


OOC Add On:I'm looking for anyone who wants to exchange embassies,maybe possibly set up a military base,trade agreements and such.I may also be starting a space program soon and I will be looking for people to become involved.

As the staccato of the cannons continued, the tactical display brought something interesting to light for the admiral. The Rave Corps. blockade was moving out of the air.
"All ships, hold your fire!" he yelled into his radio-phone.
"Sir, you're just going to let them go?" one of his officers asked.
"Aye, that's exactly what I am going to do," he replied.
"But sir, they've sunk multiple ships! Those vessels should be avenged-"
The admiral wheeled on him. Though old, he was still as intimidating as hell. "Our orders, sir, were to clear the blockade. According to my tactical display, our objective is complete, is it not?"
"Well, sir-"
"IS IT NOT?"
"Yes sir, our mission is complete," the officer said, retreating.
"Good. Now, withdraw our subs and fighters and set course for home. Any questions?"
"Sir, no sir!" replied the bridge.
"Good."

As the fighters came back around to land, the fleet restarted its engines and began a slow turn back toward the Shogunate, a feeling of costly victory hanging in the air between the ships. Raven Corps. was proving to be a worthy adversary. For their forces to retreat, their own nation must've been in trouble. Admiral Yamamoto was sure of that and this was exactly why he ordered the fleet to disengage. Heavily, he sank back into his commander's chair, removing his uniform cap, and placing it in his lap. From his position, he had a clear view of the forward turrets returning to normal positions, along with crews hurrying over them with cleaning agents, scrubbing residue from the rails off the faceplates and armour housings.

To the Frenzian Government:

It has been our honor to help you in the recent incidents involving
the Raven Corps. In light of this, we would like to open diplomatic
ties between our nations, along with possibly exchanging embassies
and opening trade agreements. If you would like, I would be happy
to meet with your government leaders to discuss this.

Sincerely,

Shogun Nakamura Taiki

To:Shogun Nakamura Taiki

From: The Frenzia External Affairs Council

We would be most honored to meet with you and discuss future relations.We must first ask where you would like to hold these talks?

As a sign of goodwill, we will allow you to enter our essentially
closed boarders and hold the talks within the Shogunate. As alluded
to, we control access to our country very strictly, but we will show our
trust for increasingly good relations by allowing you in.

Are there any arrangements you would like made? We will try our utmost
to accomodate your representatives as best as possible.

OOC: Would you like me to start a separate thread?

To: Shogun Nakamura Taiki

From: The Frenzia External Affairs Council

We are honored that you are willing to open your borders for us.We have no specific needs other than a secure location for three representatives,eight clerks,and 8 Frenzian Special Forces guards.
