The Republic of Dweladelfia announces today the discovery or an Island chain 1,237 Miles north of the Dweladelfian Islands. These islands are rich in resources. A number of bays and same gulf areas are located in the Sawney islands. There are positions were harbors can be constructed. Oil is found on the 2 main islands. Other resources can be found elsewhere. A unit of The Navy mobile Construction Battalions has compiled a map of the Island chain as well as a resource map. We have divided up the island chain into plots which we are opening for claiming.

Secretary of State Ramsay Murdo

The Guidelines for claiming are simple.
0-500 Posts- 1 Plot
500-1000+ Posts- 2 Plots

This is a map Complied by the NMCB.

News Report from the Minos Herald, a Shesharlie newspaper

In lieu with the recent developments in and around the Gerasimos Bay area, the Sheshan Company of National Expansion (SCNE) has set afoot on the northern shores of Crescent Island [OOC: I hope we can all adopt this name?] excited to begin their first colonization project. Supplies and manpower are steadily flowing onto the beaches of the tropical island and slowly turning the local area into developed land. The main port of traffic that the SCNE has establish has been named Port Rantsa. The port is still open for development and the government is encouraging eager citizens to bring their business and commerce to the island.

From what the surveyors from the SCNE have found, there are rich deposits of minerals to be mined and processed in Sheshan territory. The chief surveyor commented "This island holds great opportunities for the nation of Shesharlie, thanks to its mineral deposits in the rain forests. I hope that it is safe to say that there will be more than a few successful mining towns developing within the year."

The colony, officially dubbed Rantsa (after its chief port) has the Sheshan government on its feet and itching to get things rolling.

Official Notice to the Colonizing Nations of the Sawney Islands
Issued by the Shesharlie Secretary of State

The Confederacy of Shesharlie would like to inform all nearby colonizing nations that the Sheshan government is currently opening trade opportunities to those that wish to make peaceful trade. As of now, the colony of Rantsa has an excess of iron ore to trade, as well as other Sheshan commodities such as sodas and automobiles.

The Confederacy would also like to inform its new neighbors that the Sheshan government is also open to alliances and special pacts. Telegrams regarding alliances will be appreciated. Thank you.

My mistake regarding Zone 7. Didn't see Warmaster's post.

I would be interested in being involved in another colony thread. If possible, would like to reserve something similar to Zone 7 to set up a free-trade zone similar to Hong Kong or Singapore. Thanks for your consideration,

If you were to create a second thread, I would suggest simply adding on to the existing map, perhaps adding some islands to the north or west or something.

That way, people's colonies can be nearby, and they can claim it as one, and save space in their signatures. (For those people who still have room to list those kinds of things...)

New Grevestok

The 4th Battlegroup dropped anchor four miles off the coast of the plot of land now being called New Grevestok. The fleet was by no means spectacular, but then again, the Kroandan Navy was never known for it's prowess. The vessels however were overly busy, dropping off landing craft by the hundreds, for instance over 800 MHAV-24 Horns were dumped into the water, and they quickly sped onland, securing the coast. They were accompanied by scores of amphibious assault craft, and shortly after, massive landing vessels.

The first order of business was setting up some sort of base camp, Ft. Kanex, named after the commander of the force on the island, Marshall Kanex, was immidiately placed under construction. Thousands of pounds of concrete were unloaded from the transport vessels as fixed defensive positions were errected, bunkers created and trench lines dug out. There was not an idle man in the force, as sand bags were filled and gun emplacements erected. As SAM sites were brought online and mobile RADAR-LADAR Units set up. As thousands upon thousands of supply crates were hauled towards the camp. As fuel and ammo dumps were formed. As tents were errected. As the Terran Flag was raised.

Sorry, but the way you were talking, it sounded as if the thread was over, at least claims-wise. I really would have asked, had I thought it would have made a difference.

I was joking. One-line posts asking someone else for arbitrarily defined land are about as good as one-line posts about taking arbitrarily defined land are, I figured. However, That's understandable, and I'll just wait for the next bit to come along, as you did say you were going to extend the map.

I'll ask for some colonies over there.

News Boradcast from Shesharlie World News

"Hello, this is Michael Young reporting live from the SWN world news headquarters.

Our top story tonight is about an interesting development on the government's latest colony, Rantsa- located in the Sawney Islands.

Local colonizers have successfully established themselves in the Shesharlie-controlled colony on Crescent Island, and are producing substantial income in mining and lumbering the local area.

One mine in particular, the site of an ancient impact crater in the middle of the jungle has been reported to harbor uranium ore. "The discovery of uranium in Sheshan territory greatly increases its value," Claimed one government official, "...and the Confederacy of Shesharlie intends on utilizing this resource to benefit the nation."

Plans to build a refining facility are underway and the government insists that the facility will only be able to produce 5% enriched uranium, just enough for use in nuclear power plants.

Coming up, learn why your cat may be allergic to you and your daily entertainment wrap up. I'm Michael Yong and you're watching Shesharlie World News."

They were accompanied by a good sized military force even though a conflict wasn't expected. The initial amount fo colonists was aroudn 100,000 but if the colony was successful over a million would settle over the next year.

Herema Territory
10:42 AM

The U.S.S. Eridanus was sailing across the Bay of Panaglotakis on official business. The Herema Territory had been acquired only recently and although the land was mostly desert wastes, they did make up in a rich mineral wealth.

Now all that was to be done was prospect the lands. The Battleship cast anchor just off shore and a boat with a company of marines was sent ashore. The landing party walked along a beach inland for a short while until they came upon a small hill.

A makeshift flag pole was made and the marines saluted as the Cookeslandic Tricolor rose and fluttered in the seabreeze.

With the establishment of an operational uranium enrichment plant, the nation of Shesharlie wasted no time building a nuclear power plant just outside of Port Rantsa. The power plant has the capacity to serve power to all of the territory of Rantsa and most of its adjacent neighbors. The power grid will be fully functional in 8 months [OOC- assuming 1 RL day = 1 RP year and 2 RL hours = 1 RP month].

With the masses of iron ore deposits found in the jungle-filled interior, a Sheshan company decided to establish the island chain's first steel plant, located just west of Port Rantsa. With iron so readily available, the islanders are able to create high-quality steel comparatively cheaply.

The TPS Howell lll , Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier floated along with a couple of cruise ships taking colonists with developers to their colony. Also present was a Wasp-class Amphibious Assault Craft with 10,000 troops. And a Zumwalt-class destroyer. All for the defense of the colony.

Within the week Dealthy Hallows Corporation was expected to muscle into the VDB Oil Market, claiming all of the VDB's colony's oil. Ships would come within the week. DHC was also sending ships to take care of the gold deposits discovered. Other minor companies were expected to come to harness the hydropower for the colony's city, as well as uranium and tin deposits.

The Amphibious Assualt Craft landed, along with the cruise ships. Prince Thomas Vanek was there to inaugurate the VDB's new colony. A Vanek'ian flag was stuck into the ground. "This place shall be called Tiod!" said Vanek. "Hooray!" said all of the people there. "This is where the city of Tiod will be!" also said Vanek. "Let's get to work with a dock! Then, a city can arise!"

OOC: The city is expected to take NS 1 month to build, since around 25,000 people are working on it.

New Grevestok

And by what luck would the newfound enemy of Kroando have a colony directly to the south of Kroando? What luck indeed. The VDB was highly suspected of arming Hexonian Rebels, landing special ops. units inside the island, and even firing ICBM's at the island. [Mokastana did that... but I blame you.] And now there was a little island in the middle of nowhere in which the Kroandans could exact a little bit of revenge, and grab some land at the same time.

Ft. Kanex was up and running in less than four days. Built around (and on) a large oasis in the desert, it was fully equipped with sand bag walls, concrete trench lines, pill boxes, emplaced anti-tank guns, SAM Sites (24 Rotating SDCI Pods), LACI Launchers and several SteelFire Missile Platforms. There were over 10,000 Combat Personel stationed here, thus there were rows of tents, officer trailers, warehouses for food and weapon storage and outhouses. There was also a large communication tower, five mobile RADAR/LADAR stations and parking areas for the forces on the island.

And so 3,000 men mounted in humvees, riding on tanks and hanging onto the sides of APC's. There were a total of 150 Humvees, 100 G-24 Strikers, 25 Kraken II's, 25 ID-57's, 50 Puma IFV's, ten C-24 Big Guns, five Bofors 40mm's, ten 155mm Guns and five VL-7 Demolishers sent south, directly at plot ten. They would move into the desert, find the most habitable spot, and set up camp.

Corsica Minoris. Recently obtained in a rush to colonize the Sawney Islands. A scattering of tropical islands, lacking any important natural resources other than hardwoods and offshore oil deposits...but it was free land, and the Imperium was never too busy to let such a thing slide by unnoticed.

Major General Artican, commander of the 112th Legion, surveyed the site of the first Corsican city from the bridge of Bruttium, the recently-recommissioned Vengeance-class escort dreadnaught in command of Task Force Corsica's naval arm. It was a symbol for this whole expedition; just as the Bruttium utterly failed to compare to the Imperium's Apophis-class flagships, so the construction site was a pale imitation of the edifices of the rest of the Empire. There were palaces in Kregaia bigger than this whole nascent town. The general sighed.

It was impatience that fueled thoughts like these, he knew. He'd been deployed in Tiraeum when it had been colonized, and had spent the whole time being incredibly bored; it looked like he would spend the next few months in yet another semi-foreign hellhole, looking on as techs and engineers got the facilities ready so colonists and workers could begin arriving in the new province. Eventually it would be a thriving outpost of the Kregaian Empire, and plans were underway for the Sawney Islands: Kregaian Standard Oil, Inc., was in a bidding war against the Piraeus Extraction Company for the oil deposits in the area, and more importantly, word in the Palace was that more troops were going to be on their way to Corsica Minoris soon. A lot more.

Maj. General Artican, already bored as hell, could only hope the time was coming quickly.

Quickly word was sent back to the VDB that Kroando had claimed the colony next door to the VDB. An extra 10,000 forces were sent within the week as well as an airport built and 100 Abram tanks sent.

Total forces on the colony of Tiod:

Gerald R. Ford-class Aircraft Carrier (TPS Howell lll)
Wasp-class Amphibous Assault Ship (TPS Oerkera)
Zumalt-class Destroyer (TPS Carbon)
20,000 troops
100 Abram Tanks
On TPS Howell lll
10 C-130 Hercules
50 F-35 Lightning ll
10 RQ-2 Pioneer
5 S-3 Viking

An RQ-2 Pioneer flew over the Kroandoan territory. It was about as big as a large bird, and had Birdcloak technology (http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z157/Flatterland/Opticalcam.jpg), so it was nearly impossible to see as well.

Sorry for bad post, in a rush.

Pepperbox LSVs were quick to put out from mainland Manth carrying many of the supplies which would be needed to consolidate Manth's hold over its new claim. Engineers and soldiers soon began landing in the former Area 5, now rechristened Overseas Economic Zone 7 of the Greater Economic Union.

Bulldozers, drilling equipment, rollers, and supplies such as concrete and steel were quickly unloaded as work began on a makeshift dock and airstrip, which would in turn be used to bring in materials for more permanent settlements. Meanwhile, the borders were being marked off with buried GPS devices, barbed wire, and such to discourage any opportunistic neighbors. Land mines, SAM sites and artillery would soon follow once the logistics pipeline really got up and running.

Having been unable up until this point to establish much of a presence in the new colony due to logistical constraints, the USSC government swiftly puts its three new Ilyushin Il-76s to work, ferrying engineering equipment to the area to set up an airstrip for ease of use. As this work begins, plans are drawn up for the transportation of mining equipment to the area to begin setting up excavation areas, along with designs for basic seaport construction to enable access to the areas. The first fifty personnel to arrive - a mixture of infantry soldiers and construction staff - begin to construct portable buildings around the new airstrip.

At home, the USSC government declares the colony a 'protected territory' a names the area the Cynapsian Sawney Islands, before officially setting up the Sub-Kommissariat for Sawney Colonial Administration to task the development and exploitation of mineral resources in the Cynapsian area.

Official Transmission by the Chancellor of Shesharlie, Endorsed by the Governor of Rantsa

With developments in nearby colonies escalating towards an "arms-stacking race", the Sheshan colony of Rantsa is happy to report a peaceful and prosperous state. The economy is healthily growing and the new nuclear power plant will finally bring a cheap source of electricity to the territory as well as its neighbors.

At this Time, it is my pleasure to announce the duty-free trade center located in Port Rantsa open to all of those wishing to trade, and flourish along side Rantsa.

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

As the Port of Rantsa opens up for duty-free business, scores of trade ships and merchants dock. The trade industry immediately booms in the port city and a melting pot of cultures distant and near collide. Arms, vehicles, spirits, jewelry, steel products, and other commodities come and go within the small city's streets and docks. Although this has been a positive occurrence, crime has significantly increased in the port city, causing the Sheshan government to send F and G companies of the 51st Infantry Division of the National Sheshan Army to quell the criminals and to re-establish order and serenity.
Waldenburg 2
28-08-2007, 17:57
The Cruiser WIS Leo bobbed ineffectively in the water as surrounding support vessels zipped about carrying out regiments of the Divine Legion and laborers who marveled in the sun lit shores of a tropical island. Waldenburg itself was a desolate desert place, where water was more rare then silver, and trees grow only artificially. Soldiers strolled up and down the beach taking in the view, the same had happened in the other colony, New Jerusalem it had been called, the soldiers had simply gazed at the canopy of leaves, the endless blue sky without a hint of industrial decay. The islands were named Paradise, and aptly so, as dolphins flitted through the waters seducing even the Officers to wiggle their toes in Waldenburg’s newest conquest.

“Why?” Colonel Seasons, a pleasantly bearded man with a faint smile asked as he stepped of his dingy, “why give us this for free ? No tariffs, no cash, no favors, I cannot believe that this is what it seems.” An aide de camp danced around him, either with eagerness to be dismissed or heat rash. The colonel waved him off when it ceased to be amusing, turning to scan his island paradise, they said it had mineral wealth, but he couldn’t even imagine the Waldenburger that could tear this up. “Such beauty, and I hear the north is even better.”

The colonel strolled passed soldiers, who for the first time in their military careers failed to salute, they swung on hammocks and threw sand at on another. Grown men who had tortured children in the name of the Bishops, were throwing sand at one another. The colonel wondered if that’s why this place had been free, it changed honest torturing bastards into this. His walk ended in a grove of mango trees where the laborers had set up a open air office for the commanding officer. A desk had been pulled ashore and a few of his personal effects were standing forlornly on a dresser.

Seasons eased himself into a chair, apprehensive, at any moment he suspected, snakes, or pygmies, or at least something. All he got was creak out of his chair which was molding already in this moist environment. Chester Seasons settled back and flipped out the letter h had been given, it was a standard you have done well card, with his name filled in, but he cherished more then any medal, any commendation of any lord.

“Chester Seasons, you on the 5th of June in the eyes of the Emperor and his military command have earned the promotion to Colonel. We congratulate you on this promotion and should hope that you will continue to serve us equally well at Paradise Island.”

Signed:
High General Terrance Ølzen Waldenburger Military Commend

Seasons had read it a thousand times, a few simple words, to bring him here. Perhaps he was over compensating, a new promotion, perhaps he subconsciously felt the need to find a problem and right it.

“Sir!” His aide de camp came sprawling into the shelter dusting sand out of his hair, “just had some news. Some sort of military maneuver going on, to the west if the letter is accurate. We don’t have the information on who or why but we have a where. Our satellites picked up massing of troops and movement but it got blotchy from there.

“Thank God!” The Colonel jumped from his sat and grabbed his sword off a hat rack. “West you say.” He found his hat, and crumpled it down around his ears still rushing about like a madman.

“Sir you hat didn’t have a feathery rim.” The aide pointed out bewilderly, the colonel paused only momentarily to shake the bird of paradise out of his hat, and button his collar up. “Have Captain Erizo prepare the Leo, and two destroyers, were going to make an appearance, even if we are a few hundred miles off. “ The colonel finished picking through his collection of military accessories, stopping just short of taking the monocle out of it’s silver lined case. “Let us have a look Corporal, unannounced I think.” The world awaited, Colonel Seasons.

Months passed by in Corsica Minor.

The site of Palma, once nothing more than the campsite of the 112th Legion and an expanse of mud and unfinished foundations, had become a thriving provincial town. Already over forty thousand civilians lived in the city; a prefabricated harbor had been sent over from Kregaia and was now the real center of the town, adjacent to the stores and the workshops that allowed the inhabitants to turn a profit. Fishermen would wake in the mornings, catch the bounty of the oceans, and sell them; transport companies were being contracted to take the exotic fish back to Kregaia, where they were sold as delicacies. Kregaian Standard Oil had paid the Imperium quite a few trillion dollars for control of the oil fields in the area; the Imperium, in turn, was skimming billions of dollars off of that amount to pay for not only the influx of supplies and personnel, but the massive military buildup in the area.

SAM emplacements had been built around Palma, as well as artillery of calibers ranging from 155mm to 460mm Colossus guns, plus a few hugely expensive 810mm railguns. Airfields had been cleared in the rainforest, lined with warehouses of ammo, missiles, fuel, and parts; beyond the civilian dwellings, a vast expanse of barracks had sprung up to house the thousands of KIAF personnel being directed there. Outside the bay where the fishermen teemed bobbed the massive hulks of hundreds of warships, with more arriving every day. The entire Seventh Fleet was on its way here, bringing with it more troop transports, more cargo ships. Major General Artican had received a dossier entitled 'Operation Zama' with strict instructions not to open it until an authorized commander arrived from the Empire.

Ships sat in the harbor of Palma. Minefields were set up offshore, as oil deposits were pinpointed and exploited. New towns sprang up around the island. Wave after wave of troops, tanks, aircraft, and artillery was delivered onshore, where they drilled endlessly. New guns and weapons emplacements were set up. Companies invested, immigrants arrived, and businesses sprang up. Corsica Minor was becoming an Imperial province...albeit one soon to be under the shadow of war.

The first few months in Torva Terra and Torva Insula were quite exciting times. A sprawling military base and port in northern Torva Terra was nearly complete and mines had been setup on the rich deposits of platinum and gold in TT and nickel in TI.

Around 150,000 citizens had made their way to these new colonies and some had already put up permanent houses. Most of them were still living in Kampferian inflatable houses that had come with the original colonial fleet.

The Aurum Doman navy kept up a large presence in Spiros Bay and around Torva Insula. They were making quite the profit taxing trading trading ships coming in and out of the bay.

The current plans for the colonies was to make Torva Insula partly a resort island and partly a huge naval base such as what had been done in Gart and Statand Island many years before. New colonies were just the cashcow The Armed Republic was looking for and now they were prospering again.

Drums thundered and trumpets played, as the sun beat down on Major General Artican, sweating in the tropical heat. He stood at attention, facing the gangplank of the Imperial supercarrier Winds of War, on a dock lined by ranks of Legionaries in full dress uniform. The bay had been cleared of fishing boats for today, and had been filled instead with warships; destroyers and cruisers lay anchored in formation, another recognition of the arrival of the man who would command Task Force Corsica in the mysterious Operation Zama.

That man, specially reassigned from Tiraeum, was someone Artican had worked with in the past and been quite surprised by. General Decevus Ctani, it was commonly believed, had been on somebody's blacklist during Lucifer's reign; not very hard to believe, given his irreverence and independent attitude. However, Artican believed, the new regime was giving him a chance to prove himself worth the annoyance of his attitude by giving him command of Task Force Corsica. It wasn't all that important, anyway: what mattered was that Decevus Ctani was capable and intelligent, and although Artican didn't actually know what Operation Zama consisted of, as he saw the General striding down the gangplank, striking an intimidating figure in his ceremonial armor, he could believe that whatever it was, General Ctani would do it.

***

"So, Artican."

They were back in the military facilities outside Palma, in the tent specially reserved for the commander-in-chief, enjoying a few drinks while Ctani briefed his subordinate on Operation Zama.

"Now, officially, I'm not supposed to tell you this until the major briefing tomorrow. But here's the deal on Operation Zama. What you have to understand is that this shitty little island was obtained in a deal with the Dweladelfian government. We didn't hear about it until quite some time after the offer was extended, so we could only get this. Now, Ishamael is normally a very civil man, as you've probably heard, but he's pissed that we get stuck with just this hellhole and nothing else. He wants land in the area, and he wants it now. So he's sent the troops and the supplies and all that, so that in a short time we can hop across the ocean and seize the target area." He took a long sip of his whiskey and leaned back.

"What is the target area?" Artican asked.

"Well, it's just southwest of here. Belongs to...Vanek Drury Brieres. Or I think that's the name. Never heard of them before now, but they're about to get their shit ruined, so they'll have heard of us. So...yeah. That's Operation Zama: wipe them out and do it damn quick. I'd say we'll move out in less than a week."

One week. One week before the Imperium poured out its wrath on its neighbor. Artican shivered with anticipation. He could hardly wait.

In the Maldorian colony, Marines scurried left and right. The region was brewing with activity as the regional fleet had just left their docks. Troops, tanks, and equipment were being loaded onto the docked ships. The new type of Maldorian tank, the Mirza Main Battle Tank, were also some of the tanks being loaded. After extensive research and development, designers came up with the Mirza. They would be a shock to the daft Aurum Domus soldiers.

The colonies founded on these sets of islands were named after the Crown Princess and heir to the throne of Jaredcohenia, the Protectorate of Kristinia was soon met by colonists who felt like hoarding the timber and assets that lied beneath, but failed to recognize that the colony and all property on it was the property of the Imperium itself.

With colonists came protection for said colonists, protection being around 500 Nakil tanks and 150 Cardinal fighters. With the settling of the colony, protection was needed. Protection for the colony, in more than fighters and tanks, came in the installation of missile silos and MOAR emplacements.

The capital of the colony, Ferransk, was fortified more than the other towns there. It stood on a large iron deposit, which would soon be strip mined.

The colony of Kristinia was small at the moment, yes. However, soon the colony would increase in size. If not willfully, then with the might of the small platoon which stood there.

As the weeks passed, more soldiers, construction materials and heavy industrial machinery flowed into the colony at an ever-increasing rate. Along with them came workers - not civilians, but convicts and prisoners. The newly designated Overseas Economic Zone 7 was to be the first overseas penal colony, where convicts and undesirables of all stripes - political prisoners, petty criminals, felons, and others - could work off their 'debt' to society. Now possessing a fully functioning port, airport, and several military airstrips and bases, the colony was beginning to kick into high gear. In a week the first shipments of oil and metals would begin leaving the colony, and the government's initial investments would begin to pay for themselves.

Manth wasn't finished with the colony, though - quite the opposite. A large number of troops had arrived along with the workers, and hardened artillery positions were being constructed in the southwestern mountains even as troops and armored formations massed in the southeast. Men and materiel continued to flow in, and within the week troop numbers on the ground would exceed a hundred thousand.

Their target? A secret, of course, but probably not a terribly difficult one to guess. There was really only one possibility - the so-called Darkstalker Empire to the south, which was sitting on large oil reserves that were just too tempting to pass up.

With the alarming escalation of troops around the Sawney Islands, Admiral Johan von Ismay has arrived in the area with the First Carrier Fleet of the Navy of Shesharlie to defend the nation's assets in Rantsa.

"The carrier group will strictly respect national boundaries 10-miles out to sea, and it will not encroach on other nations' territories" said the Admiral to concerned reporters. "Let all countries in the area know that Shesharlie means peace before war, but we'd rather war than be trampled due to passiveness."

Other forces are not expected to arrive in the area at this time.

Economically, with the nuclear power plant running, Crescent Island has officially lit up! thousands upon thousands of homes, office buildings, industrial facilities, etc. have been wired into the Rantsa Power Grid. Port Rantsa continues to hub duty-free trade and commerce at a steadily increasing rate. From its humble beginnings, Port Rantsa is becoming a focal point in the island chain.

With power readily available to Rantsa, intellectuals have come to the island to further mix the pot as they began to draft plans for the first major university, named Sawney Island University. Plans to open enrollment are estimated at 2 NS years.

The University's president, Mark Wakesburg remarks, "With the establishment of a university- a major learning center, Rantsa will continue to flourish and attract thousands to come. With resources at our fingertips, the Islands will experience a higher lifestyle and a reason to stay. No more outsourcing our kids' knowledge to overseas universities--we're growing it ourselves! "

OFFICIAL DIPLOMATIC COMMUNIQUE

To Whom It May Concern, Warmasters Ministry of Foriegn Affairs

Your offer is holeheartedly accepted, we look forward to fighting side by side in our quest to rid the savages from the land.

Signed,
Marshall Kanex, Kroandan 7th Expeditionary Force

[Now if we could get VDB to respond...]

OOC: My stance is that we give him a long time to respond. Two or three weeks, for example. And if he hasn't responded by then, we assume no resistance and go ahead and divide the land. But I do hope he replies before then.

Governor's House
Harbor City, East Herema
Herema Territory
3:05 PM

As the months had passed, the little desert territory had come to life. The now territorial capital, Harbor City, was now the shipping, mining, and transport center with a growing population of 5,000 full of people seeking new lives, miners, and service men and women

Governor Mary Wu was talking with General Haran Wetanu, who was in charge of the base in the harbor and several of her advisors. The situation in the Sawney Islands had become...a bit more...well, she could really think of a good word for it.

What General told her was nothing new to her ears, she knew alot more than she let on. Basically, as far away as Herema was there was talk in Coricas of extending the territory, for Cookesland had grown hungry for minerals and land of late. Ans now with all the fighting going on in the region it's eyes were now shifting to the the tin-rich lands to the south.

"Well, let's hope it does not turn to that." she replied coldly

The Darkstalker Empire sent the 5th Hohe Seeflotte under the command of Gross Admiral Anton Litvenko to protect the Colony of Galbadia in the Sawney Islands

1 Aircraft Carrier
4 Battleships
4 Armored Ships
4 Battle Cruisers
2 Heavy Cruisers
2 Light Cruisers
4 Auxiliary Cruisers
4 Destroyers
4 Submarines
2 Hospital ships


20x Sukhoi 30 MKI
20x Mig 29
10x Eurofighter Typhoon
5x UH60 Black Hawk
5x EC-2 Panther helicopters
8x EC-1 Super Puma
5x Cobra Helicopter
4x RC-2 Global Hawk UAVs
4x E-2 Hawkeye aircraft

The Wehermacht sent Heeresgruppe B, which deployed the 268.Infanterie-Division, 269.Infanterie-Division and 232.Panzer-Division, 233.Panzer-Division, that patrolled the borders and built fortresses and other defensive buildings, maybe in the future they won't be needed but no one could be sure.

To support the building of facilities, the safety of the population and the protection of the 3 Military Airports ( 2 of them in hands of the Luftwaffe ) where the flow of building and war supplies arrived to support the defense of the Island from any foreign invader.

The Luftwaffe continuosly flew over the borders of the colony and kept close surveillance of the oil fields and the vast jungle.
The population meanwhile tried to live their lifes as normally as they could relaxing on the beaches and vacation centers, trying to ignore the more notorious military presence.

The Project for the Development of the Galbadia colony is to make it one of the best resort and vacation destinations on the Empire and the World, also it would be one of the research and industry centers of the empire, specially in the nothern part of the colony.

Hotels, spas, villas and restaurants were the common view on the southern part of the colony, where retired citizens and young students were usually seen relaxing there ,meanwhile on the north, cities and industrial and research compounds were the notorious buildings.
Companies were trying to build their facilities where theire employees were happy to be relocated with their families.

But it was easy to find military bases and airfields all over the territory.
The development of the colony was increasing as more people settled there to live and relax.
As the new crown jewel, it needed to be protected and the Government will do it.

The rest were hidden in bunkers built deep in the forest. The small 15 ship navy was on high alert. Fighter patrols had been running off the 2 carriers since the original Maldorian request and the small 100,000 man army was ready to fight to the death.

Vetakan Defence Force Deploys to Swaney Islands

In what many experts are calling a strictly defensive operation the Department of Defence today confirmed the deployment of a small force to the Aurum Domus Lands within the Swaney Islands. Although the Department of Defence refused to confirm what force had been deployed this paper can confirm the VDF Robin Carrier Group attached to the VDF 6th Battlegroup has left VDFMB Flanders within Honako and is heading towards Swaney.

The move was expected by the wider international community in response to the growing Aurum-Maldore Crisis. A situation which may shatter the already collapsing UFAN-CA Peace. With the Imperial Kingdom of Clandonia now moving Strategic Strength most commontaters agree it is only a matter of time until the Vetakan Dominion must once again prepare for worldwide combat.

While other international relations deteriorate in the small island chain, Shesharlie continues to aim positively. With the university nearing completion, many are getting anxious to see its splendor. Some are already migrating to the territory of Rantsa to embrace the University's upcoming opening.

F and G companies that have been stationed in Port Rantsa to quell the crime have been reported to be suppressing the issue, with fewest incidents in five months. According to critics, Port Rantsa has become a safe [enough], sprawling, income-generating city where opportunities of any sort can be quickly achieved.

The most recent news that the government has to send to Rantsa is the installation of a dedicated satellite network system comprised of six weather, GPS, and communications satellites that are scheduled to launch in 3 months. The satellite network, along with the other satellites in the Sheshan satellites in orbit will provide more accurate weather forecasting, and faster, easier communications between the island territory and the Sheshan mainland.

The Route1 fleet had arrived. Troops and vehicles were quickly unloaded onto the island. Island #16 was a small tropical area, as the troops soon found out. As soon as they got off the ship, mosquitoes raced over to the Route1 soldiers, causing pandamonium throughout the island.

Behind them, a group of 10 divers had sunk below the surface, to check the unit, and to test out the emergency room: a pressurised airlock into a small, equipped interior, in case a diver ran out of air or otherwise, and wait to resurface.

Kampfers
04-09-2007, 00:40
SIC:

The war was not meant to be fought in Nova Europa for the nation of Kampfers. Instead, they would be concentrating on hitting Maldorians in their colonies. The resistance would be weak, as the Mandalorian troops were commited elsewhere. An invasion of The Northern Baltic and the defense of their homeland strained their troops such that they could not defend their colonies against true attack. Nevertheless, resistance would be futile. The colonies would fall under the mighty fist of Kampfers and its allies.

Through the aid of a massive airlift effort, Kampferian troops begin to pour into the Aurum Domus claim. The fleet said to be inbound on Maldorians was now headed here, and they would be arriving soon. It was a massive fleet, and would crush any Maldorian resistance. KM-180's ammassed at strategic spots of the border. When they time came, they would unleash hell along any Maldorian troops. Behind them, waves of Nakils and Eiko helicopters stood ready to make use of blitzkrieg once the bombardment stopped. Massive airliners from Kriegzimmer transported immense numbers of soldiers and tanks into the nation. Within a matter of days, Kampferian soldiers outnumbered those of Aurum Domus.

More importantly, air support was arriving. 50 TF-70's arrived, and would be vital in the upcoming conflict. 200 Cardinals arrived, and more would come with the arrival of the fleet. 50 B-22 Zeus' came, as well as 50 Sariels. The Zeus' would provide some heavy hitting, and the Sariel's strategic bombing. In all, the wave would push through the Maldorian colony with all speed, with aid coming from their Wagdian and Aurum Doman allies. Speed was of the essence, as they would quickly route the enemy, and if they held true, would not face reinforcements.

There was a single word that described what the Maldorians were in for - Hell, utter and total hell; fire and brimstone; the skys would burn and rivers would run red with Maldorian blood; the Maldorians would be scorched from this world and into the next by the purifing fires as the Kampferians unleashed hell. But for now, they stood. Not because they deserved too, but because they were tolerated. But that would only last for a time.
Aurum Domus

Torva Terra, Sawney Islands

As the Kampferians arrived the small colonial defense force was mobilised.
The airforce consisted of fifty recently built TF 70s and 100 old SuF Phoenixes. There were also 75 FA 16s on the carriers of the defense fleet but those were only going to be used if necessary.
There were around 25,000 Marines and 30,000 Army soldiers ready to fight. Between them there were 2,000 M1A2 Abrams tanks, not a huge number but sufficent.

A good amount of the civillian population was evacuated into the bomb shelters of the central rainforests and some others chose to leave Torva Terra on the large transport ships that had regular ferry service between Torva Terra and Aureus Insula.

The enemy would be crushed by the iron fist of the UFAN war machine.

SIC
As Fifteenth and Eleventh Fleets arrived in the Sawney Islands theater, after deciding to proceed directly rather than make any uncertain rendezvous with Clandonian forces that might need to be elsewhere for whatever reason, Admiral Renton Ivers stood ready to order his forces into action for the first time in this particular Combined Fleet's case. He knew it wouldn't be unduly difficult, unless of course the enemy had gotten enough reinforcements in to make good on more than just bombing the Aurum Doman claims in the area as threatened to prior; but for now it was thought that things were well-enough in UFAN hands in this theater.

As the ships formed up far over the horizon from the Maldorian claims, FA-15E navalized Cardinals zooming off on their rotating fleet-defense BARCAPs while the Priests took the closer-in work, strike munitions were being readied down below. Fenix antishipping missiles, bombs of every size up to 1500kg and every guidance type, and so on were being readied for action. Within the ten assembled supercarriers' massive well decks and aboard the assault ships, two whole divisions' of Marines plus their attached commando brigades prepared for action; the commandos ideally to helicopter in under attack chopper escort and begin seizing the inland perimeter of any landing zone just after beach recon signaled clearance. Speaking of which, some fifty Vladimir class submarines were creeping forward beyond the fleet towards any beaches that might be stormed, readying their human torpedo loads to dispense 12-man reconnaissance teams once operations were go. Fifty other subs in two independent wolfpacks, Akulas and Oscars, also crept closer until they could prepare for their part in the operation.

Ideally, once the hammer fell, a coordinated strike like few in UFAN had ever launched would commence. And once that hit, the Maldorians would learn all too well the price for threatening a UFAN member like they had several times over by now. Yes, they would learn indeed.

AA missile and costal defenses are being built all over the territory.

Communications, radar and satellite stations are being located in strategic points of the territories.

Nuclear research investment is a priority in the colonies as both governments will work in a mutual nuclear programme.

Civilian life, specially tourism , recreation and support services are the thriving industries on the island.

The Armed Republic of the Toori wishes to claim plots 28 and 29 if they aren't already reserved.

The Alfegosians were blissfully unaware of the carnage around the islands as they begin to pump oil to the surface of the sea from miles below. They wondered which side needed it most. Niether.

The laden tanker made it slowly south between the islands, towards Alfegos.

=====

The underwater city was alive and buzzing with activity: 20 permanent residents attended the underwater oil and gas storage plant and the drills, expanding further into the claimed area.

With the Sawney Islands University booming with education, collegiate activities and research, the Seshan government has given the University a grant to accelerate its research programs.

With a heightened sense of imminent danger, The Rantsa governor has put the territory in a Level 3 security. Out of 5, level 3 will tighten port securities, nullifying the duty-free trade temporarily, and increase boarder securities [minimally on the eastern boarder] so that any unwanted traveler may be apprehended. This tightened security measure is not expected to hinder inter-territory travel or is it expected to hinder trade, specifically at Port Rantsa. For F and G companies stationed in Port Rantsa- they have been ordered to increase their patrols; The rest of the 51st Infantry Division has been put on stand-by, ready to ship out to Rantsa, if needed.

The Shesharlie Navy has been put on high alert and has been ordered to make routine patrols of Rantsa's and Darkstalker's waters, as well as patrol its inland areas. Admiral Johan von Ismay, aboard his flagship, the SN-Radical is ready to make strictly defensive combat with any intruding forces.

[Errr... VDB... I just sent forces into your northern colony (10).]

OOC: If you don't withdraw them, you will have declared war on this alliance (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535829). Oh, I was on vacation, sorry for not responding.

IC:

A radar station immediately detected moving vehicles toward the north. A delegation of 1,000 troops was sent to figure out what is was. And to negotiate. What did they want?

IC:

OFFICIAL DIPLOMATIC COMMUNIQUE

To Whom It May Concern, Kroandoan Foreign Ministry

Greetings! We have noticed your attack upon the infidels of Vanek Drury Brieres; we, too, intend to attack the fiends, claiming their unjustly stolen territory for our own. We would like to coordinate attacks with you, working together to crush the enemy all the faster. Be advised that within two days our invasion will begin; details of our force composition are attached. Battle comes first; we can settle territorial issues later. We hope you accept our offer.

Signed,
General Decevus Ctani, Commander of Task Force Corsica

OOC: Just noticed this, do you want the wrath of an entire alliance on your head?

With further expansion in Rantsa, officials have decided to construct a 4-runway airport 10 miles SouthEast of Port Rantsa. With the construction estimated at 10 months, Rantsa will soon be open to the skies on a large scale.

Half of the airport will be dedicated to the 9th Airlift Wing of the Shesharlie Air Force. 8 C-130J aircraft as well as 2 LC-130's and 2 KC-130's will be based at the Airport. The other half of the airport will be dedicated to public and commercial use, allowing commercial jets as large as Boeing 747's to land.

Local officials are anticipating a large increase in growth rate when the airport is completed.

[Lets get this goin' eh? And EVIL has ceased to exist.]

Northern Section of VDB Colony

"HALT!", shouted a Kroandon Tank Commander, holding up his hand as an indication that the force should stop, and immidiately, it did. Though not as a direct result of his hand, but due to the order issued through the Helicon Battle System. Within seconds the entire force had stopped, just north of the VDB colony, and within a minute, it was setting up firing positions.

Spy satellites had picked up over 1,000 men seemingly walking right at them... and so it was expected that the VDB was going to meet them. The Kroandon force waited... and waited... until the enemy came within 50 miles of their location. And then bam. Five VL-7 Demolishers began firing 400mm 450lb high explosive shells at their location, as did 10 240mm guns from the C-24's, and the ten 155mm towed guns also joined in the barrage. Finally, the G-24 strikers fired a salvo of some 45 AvK SteelFire Missiles with frag and HE warheads, simply to raise the casualty count as high as possible.

Total Attack Force
x3000 Infantry
x150 HMMWV's
x100 G-24 Strikers
x25 Kraken II's
x25 ID-57's
x10 C-24's
x5 VL-7 Demolishers
x50 Puma IFV's

Kampferian troops moved in to the formerly Maldorian occupied territory number twenty five. It was obvious they had left in haste, as they had not even taken the time to remove the infastructure they had built up. At the heads of all the columns, minesweepers made sure the path stayed clear. Within days, Kampferian settlers would arrive to replace those that had left. For the time being, the large Kampferian garrison would hold down the fort.

OOC: shit post, but I'm tired, and I needed to ICly justify this :\

OOC: Don't forget (I think, might be wrong), my territory is that island and a little bit of the coast and a strip of coastline in plot 26. By now, however, it's totally Vetalianized and effectively assimilated in to our country.

The Darkstalker Empire announced the building of a new 8 lane uber autobahn ( super highway )running across the colony to its northern border with Rantsa, we'll need Shesharlie cooperation with this project to build this highway all across the joint colonies.

The Lufwaffe has deployed another fighter group to Galbadia to support Rantsa's surveillance.

Another military port has been completed to support the Shesharlie Navy.
Meanwhile economy and tourism are blooming all over the southern part of Galbadia, at the north life is busy on the importat industrial cities.
