Welcome to the sole producer of the Excalibur Orbital Weapons Defense System. For those of you who are unaware of this system, it is comprised of hundreds of orbiting platforms that hold railguns, missiles, interceptors, and a HEPL (high energy plasma laser). This system works best in coordination with the Observation Satellite Communication Network (OBSAT) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=521785). The combination of these two can make one's country or region virtually invulnerable.

Excalibur Defense Systems Inc. is now authorized to sell level one OBSAT systems. Any higher systems need to be purchased at their storefront.

There are three packages available:

Regional Package:

8 trillion USD (for regions with 15 or less countries. Price increases 500 billion with each additional country.)
2,250 Orbital Platforms
10 HEPL Cannons
9000 Railguns (4 per platform)
4500 Missile Batteries (2 per platform)
4500 Interceptor Launchers (2 per platform)
5 Control Platforms (Also linked to ground base in case of this platforms destruction.


National Package:

750 billion USD
200 Orbital Platforms
1 HEPL Cannon
800 Railguns (4 per platform)
400 Missile Batteries (2 per platform)
400 Interceptor Launchers (2 per platform)
1 Control Platform (Also linked to ground base in case of this platforms destruction.


Poor Man's Package:

250 billion USD
75 Orbital Platforms
1 HEPL Cannon
225 Railguns (3 per platform)
150 Missile Batteries (2 per platform)
150 Interceptor Launchers (2 per platform)
1 Control Platform (Also linked to ground base in case of this platforms destruction.

Greetings, Excalibur Defense Systems,

Our country has been following the development of this system with great interest for some time, and would happily place an order for two National Packages; one for ourselves, and the other for our allies in the Dominion of Vetaka.

Nation Name: United Socialist States of Wagdog (Purchasing), Dominion of Vetaka
Region Name: Lazarus (Wagdog), Haven (Vetaka)
Package: National Package/Custom (see below)

Although the National Package meets our requirements quite well as-is, we're also curious as to what the cost for adding two more individual HEPL laser sites for our own country's system would be. This way, one lucky attack couldn't disable the system entirely; or alternately, and this must be kept in absolute confidence, so a sustained laser barrage can be brought to bear by us against massed missile strikes or other suitable targets once beams are reflected off of mirror satellites.
Speaking of which, are such reflectors part of the platform satellites already? If not, we and Vetaka would gladly fund adding them once our budgets can afford such, with us being authorized by the Dominion to offer your host nation(s) a free OBSAT Package II system by Vetaka; as initial payment-in-kind in return for such capability being provided. As you are no doubt aware, this will only complement well Excalibur's own superlative missile defense capabilities; especially as a redundancy system. Also, what capability would the HEPL have against naval or ground formations once so reflected?

Regards in Confidence,
Carolinus Horridus
Party Secretary, Wagdoggie Revolutionary Party
General Secretary, United Socialist States of Wagdog

It would cost an additional 210 billion per package to construct these 2 extra cannons. This includes the price for the extra platforms, railguns, missile launchers, and interceptors neccessary. I have already purchased a OBSAT system, but it is the weaker version. An upgrade and/or refund would be nice. The reflectors are built in. The Cannon can take out the larger naval ships, and can take out larger vehicles. It has limited effectiveness against small objects, but can cause mass damage in a specific area. We would like another reply before confirming this upgrade.

Excellent. Yes, we've been authorized to offer you a free OBSAT upgrade and to purchase the Excalibur system on Vetaka's behalf, since we suspected you already operate the first version of OBSAT; and pressing business pertaining to their civil situation prevents Vetaka from making a more direct offer as of yet. Note that this offer also applies to -Independent States- as well; however, you should both probably make confidential mention of this in applications for purchase or upgrade at Pearce Weapons Incorporated anyway for propriety's sake.
In any case, confirm the order please. Our defense budget (F$3.46 Trillion in our Fiats, or ~$5.29 Trillion in standard Dollars) can easily accommodate the full $1.92 Trillion USD that customized, three-HEPL Excalibur National Packages for both us and Vetaka would cost. Our complements on your excellent service, which is fully up to par with the quality of your merchandise.

Construction will commence immediatly in Wagdog and Veteka.

The control platform is orbiting the nation. It links to pre-existing military bases in the nation that can function as this platform if the original platform is damaged. You are confirmed for one National Package for the sum of 750 billion dollars. Construction will begin immediately and will last 4 NS years.

Subject: Excalibur Defence Systems Inc Authorization to Sell OBSAT

Greetings,

Because of the very nature of the Excalibur Weapons System and the fantastic success OBSAT and Excalibur have had in working together to provide a virtually invincible Weapon. The Vetakan Government OBSAT Defence Group has decided to authorize Excalibur Defence Systems Inc the ability to actively sell OBSAT Level 1 Systems.

Pearce Weapons Inc would still carry out the planning and installment of the OBSAT System it would just make it easier for all parties if Excalibur Defence Systems had the ability to Authorize OBSAT Sales.

From now on when you sell the OBSAT Systems simply refer all Buyers to Pearce Weapons Inc having them quote that Excalibur Defence Systems has authorized the sale.

Yours Vetakan Foreign Affairs Secretary Thomas Lewis

Nation Name: Siriusa
Region Name: Nova Europa
Package: Poor Man's Package

The Principality of Siriusa is interested in purchasing your Poor Man's Package for 250 Billion USD. We have also heard of your new authorization to sell the OBSAT technology and we were wondering if we could aquire that from you as well.

We will approve this deal at once. Construction will take 2 NS years.
Please follow this link to continue in your purchase of OBSAT.

Defence: $214,966,903,434

So in order to pay it all il pay what i can now and the rest in 1 or 2 NS years

Is that ok ?

That means that you wont be buying cops new weapons or paying them, and youll be laying of thousands of govt workers. You have a DEFENSE budget for a reason.

We have agreed to finance FreeAngola's purchases as part of our international strategy as well as preexisting negotiations between our nations. The funds will be wired directly from our government surplus to you, so that you can be certain that these funds are legitimate and have been intended for this purpose.

Since this is strategically sensitive, this negotiation is being conducted at the Praetorial level itself. We trust you will honor our funds and transfer the weapons as desired.

Company Records (to add to my GDP when purchasing):


OOC:

Issues with the actual system include(but are not limited to):

Interceptor Launchers, what is it launching and how exactly?
Missile Batteries: All well and good, but an Aim-9 won´t shoot down an ICBM.
HEPL cannon: Spelling help doesn´t do you much good, and as far as im concerned its a 17th century cannon i would find on a frigate.
Orbital platforms: Exactly what is it and how does it work?
Railguns- On a ship, maybe, on land- yes. On a satellite? NO, no and no again. The fact is rail guns take up massive ammounts of energy which on a satellite would be impossible to produce and store enough to make the railgun of use against a missile. Oh, and as soon as the projectile hit the atmosphere it would burn/break up in all possibility.

All in all i can only ignore the system as it is.

Secondly, just with the quote, i would like to point out the fact that it costs a LOT to: Research the whole system, build the system, launch the system (especially as you would have to ensure they could be moved safely over the target nation) and other costs which would add up big time.

Hope it helps, this system is definitly not MT, not even PMT, for a rail gun to work on an orbiting satellite you´d be looking at FT.

And lastly, your hardly large enough to have nuclear weapons, let alone create such a system with a country making a defence budget of under 500billion USD when the systems cost way over.
