OOC:
1. Good thinking. I can imagine it'd really annoy your opponent when he thinks he doesn't have to worry about powered armour, then ends up with this to put rounds through. Not the same as PA, of couse, but still chuckleworthy.
2. No, no, 'tis cool. I was in the process of doing lineart before I release it on II, but you are in a priviledged position, lol.
3. Convergent evolution. The modularity of the M113 appealed, so there are a good number of conceptual similarities.

It has come to may attention that the Hatchet Class Frigates we brought from you worked and are doing a great job. However, this isn't about praise but we wish to buy a few warships.

Battleaxe - class cruiser is selling at $4 billion, we wish to buy 30 of these warships. That comes to $120 billion

Hatchet Class Frigate with AA Platform and Radar unit and we wish to have a turret on each frigate as well. The frigate is selling at $960 million. We wish to buy 50 and that comes to $48 billion.

The Grand Total is $168 billion

NOTE:

Due to a minor rebellion being settled down by our military forces, we request that you send to our other Military Island named Union Island. We request that you send the warships there and the island is about 5 hours flight from the Kingdom of Lynion itself.

Balkan City S.A.R., United Democratic Empire of Asgarnieu

To: Lyran Arms
From: Office of the Vice President of the United Democratic Empire of Asgarnieu
Subject: Armor

Greetings, esteemed allies. I come before you to inquire as to the total cost of outfitting our entire ground force, in all branches and sub-branches of the Asgarnian Armed Forces Command, with your "Dauntless" ballistic armor in the level III (not IIIA) armoring category.

We, if possible, would like one piece of Dauntless level III armoring for every complete unit of Multi-spectral disruptive pattern camouflage uniforms we purchased earlier in the fiscal year.

Our current armor is outdated, and due to the age, is no longer capable of providing level III protection.

We, therefore, request an estimate on the cost of a total fitting of "Dauntless" armor for every unit of MSDP camouflage we purchased through Lyran Arms. We also request, included with the estimate, the cost of inserts for the armor (1 set of inserts per armor set) to be included seperately.

We will pay any cost for the afformentioned equipement, and trust the judgement and pricing of Lyran Arms.

We sincerely thank the people at Lyran Arms for their consistency and excellent service through our dealings.

Once again, we thank you.

Respectfully,

Michael St. Aubin

RE: Armour

Mr Vice President

It is with great pleasure that we recieved your request to provide armour solutions to the Asgarnian military.

We note your decision to provide class III, rather than IV+, armour to your soldiers, and, while we do not think this unusual in itself, we have decided to provide you with the full suite, which, being modular, may be worn at class III level. We shall, however, provide this for you not at class III costings, but for no cost.

Before you re-read this correspondence, we do assure you that this is exactly as it sounds. Executive Command has authorised the offer, and Warmarshal Krell himself has expressed his approval in no uncertain terms.

In essence, Lyras is going to provide you with several million examples of 'Dauntless', complete, at no charge. Your offer to stand by us in our times of conflict is well recieved, and, being unbidden, has won you firm support in the higher echelons of our heirachy.

RE: Research request

Sir

Your query as to whether artillery ammunition can be developed to penetrate aircraft carriers can be answered in the affirmative. However, the range of conventional artillery is enormously less than that of an aircraft. Furthermore, any gunnery system capable of firing a projectile able to penetrate/destroy a capital ship in a single shot would be so large as to be impractical to conceal... rendering it an easy target for stand-off cruise missiles or aircraft. A far better coastal defence option is to employ batteries of cruise missiles. For this, we heartily recommend the LY300 Manticore, which is able to fire either LY589 Hellions or LY4045 cruise missiles, and do so without sacrificing mobility (aside from the 20 seconds spent firing). Further questions are, of course, welcome.

TO: Verenberg High Command
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: Longsword-class DPRs

Battle-brothers

It is with the blessings of Executive Command, and the greatest of trust that Lyras does hereby grant you domestic production rights to the Longsword-class warship, as the first and (thus far) only state to whom we do.

We have bled together. This means something, to a Lyran. It places you in a position of priviledge, and of responsibility. By granting you this, we are stating to you, and to the world, that you are warriors, and conduct yourselves as such.

Move with honour. Honour is everything to Lyras, and to a Lyran. To act outside of honour is to insult Lyras, to fly in the face of who and what we are. When trusted, when held in high regard, dishonour angers still further.

Preserve honour, and we will, against all the fires of hell itself, stand undaunted at your side.

Sir/Madam,

Undoubtedly, Lyran Arms is a leader in the munitions industry, and we wholeheartedly regret that we were not able to order these sooner.

Lyran Arms is, by the end of the order, going to be the major supplier to the Barronian ground forces, alongside CNC for naval forces, and, once an order is made, ADEN for aeronautical forces. You will be providing support, armor and logistical abilities for a major part of Barronia's 15-million strong armed forces, over 6 million men.

We shall be submitting an enquiry before our order, so that we may more accurately price up our requirements.

On that note, we wish to enquire if the following:

"Dauntless" Ballistic Armour and all Additions & Inserts
Multi-spectral disruptive pattern camouflage uniforms
"Blacktalon" Combat Gloves
"Mamba" Tactical Boots

LY219 Ironheart Armoured Multirole Tactical Vehicle (all variants)
LY6 Werewolf Assault Gun/Tank Destroyer

TRA-92 "Eiko" LAH

Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck

LY589 Advanced CM
LY4030 ESAM
LY4031 LR SAM/AAM/ABM

are available for special dispensation to be produced in our nation. Naturally, all factories and plans would remain the property of Lyran arms, and are also free to be used for construction and export of goods to other nations (export tarriff 0%, 100 acres of land provided by State Chamber for Commerce).

If possible, for those that are available, we would like a quote to be specified for each item, so that we may adequately arrange funds.

We look forward to your reply.

From: Royal Antigran Army Ordnance Commision

The Antigran Government is again much impressed by your nation's military designs, and even more so by the LY7 Medium Tank. While classed as an MBT in Antigr, we appreciate how much lighter it is than the LY4A1 and how it's weight is more akin to our own MT-85 Marauders.
We enquire into the availability of adaption of the main gun to Antigran ammunition and the possible fitting of a 7.7mm KGT General-Purpose Machine-Gun in the left coaxial station, no right coaxial, and a 28mm Compact Autocannon in the commander's station on a combined ring/pivot mount, both of these weapons Antigran. We are sure your excellent engineering will be highly adequate to our needs.

_____

OOC: Some helpful images, or at least one. It details the autocannon and MG of the types mentioned above in the stations mentioned above. It's a newer pic for the MT-85, still in WIP stage. I'm going to make it sleeker and newer, meanwhile linky here (http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc40/NS_Antigr/Marauder_Pic04.png). Note picture not to scale, I don't use one but for some sense of it the main gun is 120mm.

RE: Domestic manufacture of specified equipment

Lieutenant Holliday-Michaels

It is a great honour that you pay to us by the information you present. Your compliments to us, and confidence in us, shall be remembered by the Protectorate for a long time. The professionalism and competence of your military has long been known, and respected, and this all the more emphasises and underscores the degree to which you honour us.

That which you ask is unusual, of this there is no doubt. Most customers prefer to either secure domestic production rights, outright, or purchase on a per-unit basis.

We are, however, more than happy to establish production facilities within your borders, so as to not only handle the doubtlessly large production requirements that you have, but also to ensure continuity of supply in the advent of external aggression.

Given that the production facilities are being established upon your lands, and yet fall under our control, it would be churlish of us to charge you any more than the normal price for equipment.

Further, given that you seek use of the LY589, and the fact that we intend to grant it, that elevates your standing with the Protectorate. No, that is not entirely correct. That acceptance confirms that which is already in effect.

In accordance with Executive Command instruction, and in acknowledgement of shared history and commonality of future intent, the Protectorate hereby recognises Pan-Arab Barronia as an ally in the full sense of the word. Commensurate with that status, each purchase made from or through the Lyran Governmental Trade Department will be made at 50% of the indicated price. This will apply whether the specific item is manufactured on the Lyran mainland, or at facilities elsewhere.

Should you have further, specific questions, as I expect you may, please do not hesitate to ask them.

Stand undaunted.

Sir;

It is with great pleasure that we hear of your intention to accept our offer. It is with that in mind that we wish to propose to Lyran arms to supply and maintain (whilst at base) our armed forces equipment as listed in our previous communiqué.

Naturally, this is a major contract, designed to reduce the bureaucracy within our system and ensure that a firm fully capable (and, let's face it, who is better capable than the company that designed and constructed these glorious machines) is managing our numbers and ensuring our armed forces are fighting in the best-maintained and in the most well-designed equipment available.

Naturally, such an extensive contract requires you to make an offer rather than us, but bear in mind that you will be supplying uniforms, IFVs, and other munitions to over 8 million men, alongside Barronian Royal Marines and the Barronian Royal Aeronautical Force. We are happy to pay up to $1,000,000,000,000 ($1 trillion) per year - we wish to obtain the best service available to us.

We are happy to propose the following as terms of the contract:

1. Barronia will provide an extra 50acres of land in order to make up production to cater for our armed forces, and to allow Lyran Arms dedicated storage and repair facilities outside of Barronian military establishments.
2. Barronia's 0% tarriff remains.
3. Barronia's Extra-Corporative Incentive Program will apply, allowing Lyran Arms to remain exempt from the Corporation Laws and apply it's own minimum wage and benefits across the board.
4. Royal Charter Supplier status as a supplier to the Crown Government. This allows an increased status amongst investors in Barronia, along with added bonuses financially, and eased restrictions on transport in Barronia.

We trust you will find these terms favourable.

Yours,

Lt. India Holliday-Michaels

We are, pursuant to your request, more than willing to supply and maintain your forces while in base. Further than that, should you be so-willing, we are also prepared to maintain your forces while on exercise within your borders, so as to allow continuity of supply.

The use of the land you allocate for manufacture, storage and distribution sites will greatly improve the efficiency and speed of delivery. Further, given the size of ground relative to size of forces being served, it is likely that the facilities will be exclusively supporting Barronian forces.

Given, however, that you are offering us NS$1 trillion per year, this will not be an issue. Our intent is to utilise the areas provided for manufacture, storage, distribution and repair on a large scale, with Lyran units rotated through the facilities as part of the extant Lyran posting cycle. Given, further, the absence of a civilian workforce within Lyras, and the militarised nature of production, be advised that it is our intent, at this stage, that the handling of the indicated taskings will be by military units. If this is an issue, please let us know, and we can discuss details or alternatives.

With specific reference to the application of points three and four, the Lyran Governmental Trade Department is not a corporation in the internationally accepted understanding of the word, but is rather an arm of the Lyran Protectorate.

The firing mechanism and bore diameter are both fairly standard, so no issues are expected.

This is more than appropriate. You do us a great favour in accepting our terms, and we look forward to working with you.

In response to your points, Lyran Arms is welcome to use their own personnel, however, we request that our Royal Corps of Signallers engineers be allowed to to work on the communications systems, which we intend to adapt to our own ObServ system*. Otherwise, Lyran military personnel are more than welcome in our nation.

Regarding points 3 and 4 of our original suggestion, under the Corporation Recognition Act 2007, a Corporation is defined as "a civic body comprising representatives of all businesses or profit-making ventures within an industry. This body will have the powers, under the supervision and guidance of the State Chamber of Commerce, to set collective minimum wages and benefits systems for employees." With that in mind, the Extra-Corporative Incentive applies to Lyran Arms in the sense that you are a profit-making venture.

Regarding point 4, again, this relates to the CRA2007, and thus labels Lyran Arms as an organisation in it's own right (despite being an extention of the government) and applies the Royal Charter** to it, allowing it to be displayed where ever Lyran Arms chooses. We feel that considering the contract that Lyran Arms is charged with, the Royal Charter status shows Lyran Arms as an organisation deemed honourable, trustworthy, and reliable enough to be considered as one of 4 primary suppliers to the Barronian Armed Forces.

We trust this will answer your questions.

*OOC/Very SIC (that is to say, you would know it's our comms service, but not necessarily all that it does): ObServ: the Barronian Observation Service communications system. Linked to a series of supercomputers located under Overwatch, this system generates a real-time view of everything a Barronian unit sees, ranging from a worldwide view showing locations of armies and fleets, to a kilometer-square view showing a platoon with real-time video feeds streamed from headset cameras. The most impressive part of this system is the War Chamber, showing a massive multi-touch screen 100 metres square, requiring 12 men and two cherry-picker platforms to operate at normal capacity. This screen can show anything from strategic views (blocks of colour) to realtime footage, and feeds a series of on-wall screens allowing an easier view of the battlefield and key points.

Lieutenant

We thank you for your forthright and rapid response to our questions, and the content of those answers. You do us further honour.

Honour is a concept very central to Lyras. Adherence to it is foundational to the existence of Lyras as a geopolitical entity. That you trust to our honour is nigh on the greatest compliment one could pay to the Protectorate as a whole, and it shall be remembered.

The Royal Corps of Signallers is more than welcome to enter and oversee all elements of production. We fully understand the requirement to establish robust and integrated communications and integration protocols, both in hardware and software terms.

Is the territory to be considered (while under leasehold) sovereign to the Lyran Protectorate? If so, we shall provide (admittedly limited) security for it, and it shall a measure of further (political) security in the advent of Barronia becoming embroiled in a defensive war, as attacks upon it would be considered an act of war against Lyras. Should this sovereignty not be the case, that is entirely understandable, and we shall look to the Barronian Armed Forces for protection and security.

We request also details as to firearms restrictions within Barronia, with regards to the provision of briefs for Lyran personnel on rotation to the facilities in question.

RE: Cromwell II

Cromwell II is indeed able to be adapted to aircraft, and we field our aerospace forces with it as standard. The hard- and software packages are different, as pertains to many aspects inherent to avionics as opposed to surface sensory and integration packages, but they are most certainly very compatible.

While different in terms of how it functions, the effects are near-identical, and the interface for the operator is very similar. We anticipate a great degree of commonality.

Should you seek further input from Lyran technical and engineering personnel, please let us know.

Lieutenant-General Aleksandr

In regards to your enquiries:

Yes, the territories will be considered sovereign to Lyras. All Barronian civilians and personnel will be required to abide by Lyran laws and legislation whilst on the territories.

Arms legislation in Barronia will allow the Lyran Protectorate to maintain munitions up to cruise missile size, non-nuclear (although thermobaric munitions are permitted up to a maximum equivalent payload of 25tonnes of TNT), and artillery, self-propelled guns and main battle tanks.

Off-base, concealed carry laws cover pistols for civilians. Soldiers and other military personnel are encouraged to wear uniform off-base (the military is highly respected in Barronia - soldiers displaying their papers often find that cafés and restaurants waive large portions of fees. First class public transport is free for personnel carrying Military Transport Cards, which can be applied for when you arrive). Soldiers and personnel from allied nations are permitted to carry up to sub-machine gun weaponry by law, either concealed or in the open.

For transport of weaponry, whilst on Barronian territory it will need to be stored in secure and flame-resistant facilities, clearly marked to distinguish it as Lyran in origin and as weaponry. Vehicles must be transported by the most appropriate means (rail transport is advised; high-speed rail links for military transport is provided by the Royal Logistics Corps and spans the majority of the nation. Road transport will be provided by the nearest military facility).

We hope that this clears things up.

Utilizing the Cromwell II system force-wide is certainly tempting, however, we would like the opinion of you or your staff on several issues:

- What would be the most noticeable benefits of utilizing the Cromwell II system in all three branches of the Zinairian Armed Forces?
- Would these benefits justify the resources and training necessary to implement the system?
- Just how easy is it to learn the Cromwell II system?

We certainly anticipate using the system throughout our ground forces, as a good potion of our army equipment comes standard with Cromwell II, however, these answers will help us to determine the value of using the system in our navy and air force.

RE: Cromwell II, C-10 Minotaur, LY7/366 Lammasu, ARV.

Cromwell II is a very adaptable and intuitive interface, with the vast majority of functionality operating below the operator's awareness, with available information presentable, in most cases, upon operator request. The network is designed to allow battlespace awareness to all levels of the combatant force, maximising initiative and empowering personnel to operate independently and responsively. Fire support is easy and available almost before the requests are made. Tanks can be pointing their main guns at located hostiles before they crest ridgelines. Infantry have no fear of blue-on-blue. Commanders are complete knowledge of exactly where each and every one of their own and friendly units are located. Inter-service co-operation is smoothed out immensely, with each unit knowing where it's compatriots are in relation to hostiles, neutrals, and terrain.

And that is to say nothing of the wealth of information transmitted to fire control systems. Cromwell II, at the moment, is arguably the most extensive, battletested and high-performance battlespace network available.

Training and implementation is no harder than any piece of equipment. The full scope of Cromwell is only recognisable as a total package. Each individual component learns how Cromwell works for it, and, while the effects are similar, the sensory suites and computational power that support them are wildly different.

Integration, given your high level of usage of Lyran equipment anyway, would be a relatively minor task, mitigated further by the intentional elements of adaptability factored into the network.

With reference to Ironheart ARVs, they most certainly do exist, but would not be capable of pulling an MBT out of... whatever had affected it.

We would be more than happy to develop an ARV variant of the Nakils, from your existing stocks, should you wish it. As it is, an ARV variant of the LY7 is in development.

We do also acknowledge your purchase of 3000 Lammasus, and 15 Minotaurs, at the total cost of NS$28.5bn. Expect delivery within three NS months.

Naturally the Ironheart ARVs would not be expected to recover tanks, but other Ironhearts and smaller vehicles. Although a Nakíl based ARV is probably preferable due to the high commonality with current equipment (and the large number of retired 1A3s perfect for repurposing), we are intrigued by the L7-based solution. What is its maximum recovery weight? Also, is there an L7-based bridge-layer or would you be able to produce one from our Nakíls or your L7?

Our current naval fleet consists of around 600 combat ships of various sizes (full list (http://wikistates.outwardhosting.com/wiki/Equipment_of_the_Zinairian_Armed_Forces)). What would be the estimated cost of fitting these with the Cromwell II system?

Also, is there any way the Cromwell II system could be adapted to some sort of future warrior system (e.g., the Land Warrior system) to provide the sort of information available to vehicle-based crews to individual soldiers?

TO: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

While much of the computer systems have been restored we have found that you have been very busy. Therefore once again me, Generlissimo Ivan Canarias, and for the first time, Air Marshall Jesus Manuel, come to you with a large order.

Our first item is the C-10 Minotuar,while dwarfing the Ilyushin Il-76s that Logisitics uses currently we believe that using the C-10 will drastically increase our abilities to ship large quantities of tank and vehicles much faster then previously could, we are looking to become the proud owners of 1200 of these planes, at 300 million apiece we believe the total comes out to $360bn.

Our Next items are 'Blacktalon' Combat Gloves and 'Mamba' Tactical Boots, DPRs for the4 gloves are requested,($1.5bn) as well as one million of each type of Glove for the price of $320m, and 130 million Boots for a total of 26bn.

And as you know with the addition of artillery pieces, the backbone of Mokan Ground warfare we couldn't help but notice the LY7/366 Lammasu Self-propelled Gun. Which is currently the greatest rival to our Current 205mm Self Propelled gun, both ranges are nearly identical.
Mokan 205mm LY7/366
Standard munitions 37.5 35
Rocket assisted 47.5 55

While the Lammasu can no doubt hold more munitions and has a greater Rocket assist range then our current models we must question weather or not the smaller shell can cause as much damage as our current abilities, mainly under the category of submunitions. For example, the 155mm gun can hold up to 72 M42/46 DPICM, while our 205mm guns can hold up to 180. Please do not take this as a challenge of who can design a better artillery piece, for we know Lyran designers are some of the best in the world. We would just like more detail onto anti-tank and anti-personnel submunitions availible for the Lammasu.

Therefore for further operations we will incorporate both field guns into our armed forces. We will need to acquire approximately 105,000 guns.

In total we are purchasing:

30,000 LY7/366 Lammasu Self-propelled Gun+DPRs $310bn
1,200 C-10 Minotuar $360bn.
4 million 'Blacktalon' Combat Gloves+DPRs $1,504m
130 million 'Mamba' Tactical Boots $26bn

total: $671.53bn

RE: Cromwell II, ARV.

The LY7 Bridgelayer and ARV variants (and an air defence variant, for that matter) are in development, but I expect that the actual mechanics would be very similar to that which we would apply to any converted Nakils. In essence, you take the turret off, and stick something else there. The weight-bearing should be unchanged, and performance near-identical. The choice between a Nakil-based solution or an LY7-based one will not be an issue of performance/effectiveness.

We are also, at this moment, developing just the Future Warrior-type Cromwell II package for infantry/dismounts that you describe. We expect it to be helmet-displayed, wristguard-controlled, with a CPU/battery pack in a webbing pouch. But that is only as I understand it now. Research is ongoing, and I am not the best person to ask regarding this.

As for adapting Cromwell to the Zinairian Navy, it should be a fairly easy software package, and a series of relatively minor hardware adjustments. An extra aerial here or there, and maybe some computer processing power upgrades. Cromwell is almost like a very powerful ISP, which then retransmits pertinent information to each unit. The allusion is weak, but I think you understand where we come from, in this regard. We expect costings of around NS$60,000 per ship. The price is fairly inflexible, as the upgrades are not expected to be affected by size of vessel or relative capabilities.

If there are further questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.

With reference to the differences between a 205mm and 155mm gun, the issue is one of 'throw weight', and 'relevant force'. The fire-rate of a 155mm gun is notably higher than that of a 205mm, and the difference in explosive yield, given accuracy, is far less significant. If a 155mm projectile can destroy a target (which, we assure you, it will), then surplus explosive force is an irrelevancy. Given the trajectory, when engaging armoured targets, the incoming (in the Lammasu's case, guided) projectiles will strike the roof... and there is no armoured vehicle in service, anywhere in the world, that will withstand a 155mm strike to the roof.

Given submunition dispersal, we query the use of tube artillery for that purpose. We acknowledge that there is a difference in each shell, but use of single-piece ToT bombardment will, in realistic terms, deliver equal firepower. We are happy to discuss this further, if you seek more in depth response. This issue has been examined, and we are prepared to share our conclusions, should you wish it.

FROM: Office of the Director of the Lyran Diplomatic Command

RE: Engagement

Magistrate Carpentier-St Claire

I am very pleased to have recieved your communication. Sometimes the Lyran Governmental Trade Department puts the information gathering resources of Lyran Intelligence and the Diplomatic Command to shame.

The reason for my earnest attempts to contact you is by virtue of Barronia's role in the budding LION-Hegemonic confrontation.

We do not presume to impinge upon your rights to conduct war as you choose. We do ask a number of considerations however. If you excuse the format, I will present these requests as follows;

1) It is requested that your forces DO NOT engage forces of Mokastana and Alfegos. Both states have shed blood beside Lyras in the past, and, to the Protectorate, that means a great deal.

2) It is requested that Barronia tread very carefully in exactly how it puts forward its addresses to belligerent states. In years past, states which were subsequently destroyed committed atrocities hot on the heels of proclamations referring to 'blending', atrocities which Lyras, as a state concerned (as you are) with honour cannot abide. We note with satisfaction that you and our allies in Asgarnieu are the ONLY states within LION to have not slipped into such language in address to your opponents within the Hegemony. Such restraint speaks well of you, and reinforces our opinion of you that, even in the company of those who profess dubious morality, you stand firm. We counsel that this continue.

3) We ask that, should the acts of your allies in that conflict slide into dishonour, and should the blood of innocents run from intent, rather than unfortunate circumstance, that you allow the Protectorate to exercise its responsibility under honour, and defend those who cannot defend themselves. This, of necessity, will entail force. Should these preconditions be met, we thusly request that you allow the Lyran hammer to fall upon those so deserving.

We apologise if these requests come across as insinuating negatively upon your honour, but if you hold, as we do, to the importance of standing alongside one's allies, then we felt it best to bring our perspectives and reasoning to your attention, so as to avoid difficult discussions in tense situations, some time in the future.

I expect that you will have questions, and urge you to ask them. My purpose, within Lyras, is to advance and explain Lyras' position on events of diplomatic importance. As such, I will endeavour to answer your queries to the very best of my ability, and do m utmost to ensure your understanding and acceptance of our positions, with all honour.

Stand undaunted.

at the given total of NS$671.53bn. I am also charged to pass on to you that Executive Command has determined that assurances need to be passed to Mokastana, on behalf of the Protectorate. You do not stand alone. More information will be forthcoming by telegram from Field Marshal Wallins.

With reference to the differences between a 205mm and 155mm gun, the issue is one of 'throw weight', and 'relevant force'. The fire-rate of a 155mm gun is notably higher than that of a 205mm, and the difference in explosive yield, given accuracy, is far less significant. If a 155mm projectile can destroy a target (which, we assure you, it will), then surplus explosive force is an irrelevancy. Given the trajectory, when engaging armoured targets, the incoming (in the Lammasu's case, guided) projectiles will strike the roof... and there is no armoured vehicle in service, anywhere in the world, that will withstand a 155mm strike to the roof.

Given submunition dispersal, we query the use of tube artillery for that purpose. We acknowledge that there is a difference in each shell, but use of single-piece ToT bombardment will, in realistic terms, deliver equal firepower. We are happy to discuss this further, if you seek more in depth response. This issue has been examined, and we are prepared to share our conclusions, should you wish it.

TO: Lyran Governmental Trade Department, Field Marshal Wallins

We are grateful for the many blessings that Lyras Trade Department and the Government of Lyras has provided to Mokastana in these past few years.

While I am no artillery expert I can assure that the new guns will be accepted by artillery commanders with vigor. I am not yet sure as to how they plan on incorporating both the 205mm guns with the 155mm guns, but it will be due to your engineers and factories. All who fight Mokan armies will perish thanks to your fine products.

Thank you,

I am very glad to hear that you are one step ahead of us in developed an infantry-based Cromwell II system. Could you put us in touch with one of the lead designers or someone else who would be able to tell us more about the system?

Currently, we are working to eliminate excess naval vessels. We should have a full list of ships requiring the Cromwell II conversion in the near future.

TO: Magistrate Amelie Carpentier-St Claire, Magisteriate of Extra-Imperial Affairs, Pan-Arab Barronia
FROM: Office of the Director of the Lyran Diplomatic Command

RE: Engagement

Magistrate Carpentier-St Claire

I am very pleased to have recieved your communication. Sometimes the Lyran Governmental Trade Department puts the information gathering resources of Lyran Intelligence and the Diplomatic Command to shame.

The reason for my earnest attempts to contact you is by virtue of Barronia's role in the budding LION-Hegemonic confrontation.

We do not presume to impinge upon your rights to conduct war as you choose. We do ask a number of considerations however. If you excuse the format, I will present these requests as follows;

1) It is requested that your forces DO NOT engage forces of Mokastana and Alfegos. Both states have shed blood beside Lyras in the past, and, to the Protectorate, that means a great deal.

2) It is requested that Barronia tread very carefully in exactly how it puts forward its addresses to belligerent states. In years past, states which were subsequently destroyed committed atrocities hot on the heels of proclamations referring to 'blending', atrocities which Lyras, as a state concerned (as you are) with honour cannot abide. We note with satisfaction that you and our allies in Asgarnieu are the ONLY states within LION to have not slipped into such language in address to your opponents within the Hegemony. Such restraint speaks well of you, and reinforces our opinion of you that, even in the company of those who profess dubious morality, you stand firm. We counsel that this continue.

3) We ask that, should the acts of your allies in that conflict slide into dishonour, and should the blood of innocents run from intent, rather than unfortunate circumstance, that you allow the Protectorate to exercise its responsibility under honour, and defend those who cannot defend themselves. This, of necessity, will entail force. Should these preconditions be met, we thusly request that you allow the Lyran hammer to fall upon those so deserving.

We apologise if these requests come across as insinuating negatively upon your honour, but if you hold, as we do, to the importance of standing alongside one's allies, then we felt it best to bring our perspectives and reasoning to your attention, so as to avoid difficult discussions in tense situations, some time in the future.

I expect that you will have questions, and urge you to ask them. My purpose, within Lyras, is to advance and explain Lyras' position on events of diplomatic importance. As such, I will endeavour to answer your queries to the very best of my ability, and do m utmost to ensure your understanding and acceptance of our positions, with all honour.

Stand undaunted.

Field Marshal Wallins

Your concerns are noted, and we offer the following by means of reply:

1. A private negotiation with Alfegos has ensured that neither side will attack the other. The Alfegosians have long been allies of our nation; our decision to remove the threat of the Hegemony not taken lightly, and we entered with every intention to avoid conflict between us.

Alas, the intentions of the Mokastanians, we cannot tell. A recent statement from their government would suggest they have intentions of assaulting LION personnel - whilst we have no intention of making the first assault, Barronia will not, regrettably hesitate to defend herself from a threat. We have give the Mokastana administration all due encouragement to leave the Hegemony and forge a new, greater, more honourable life for their peoples, but we can do no more.

2. Your counsel is taken with the weighting it deserves - whilst Barronia has, nor never will, resort to blending or associated activities. Barronia prides herself on her civility to citizens of any nation. Barronia's future with LION will be questioned if anything were to occur that we considered immoral. However, we take the words of our allies with great respect and consideration - our international image is paramount, and with it goes the image of our allies and friends - in the event that theirs is tarnished, it dishonours us greatly.

3. We would be derelicting our duty to those that could not defend themselves if we were to deny this request. In the event that innocent blood is intentionally spilled at the hands of our allies, Barronia's future in the League will be taken into immediate consideration. We request that we be allowed to deal with intentional civilian resistance as necessary. Our own Civil Protection services are fully able to deal with such activities, and all conditions in law enforcement facilities are of the highest standard.

We trust this goes some way to easing your conscience.

Yours,

Amelie Carpentier-St Claire

I felt it only right that the President of a nation should address a matter as large as the one the Echo Islands are facing. Our military is outdated and in desperate need of upgrade.

As per our review of many military options, it was determined Lyras Arms Storefront was the ideal place to begin our military modernization.

With a thirteen digit defense budget (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=The+Far+Echo+Islands), we have some serious coin to spend. On top of that, we will also have the revenue that will be earned from selling off old military equipment.

This purchase is going to be extremely large in nature, and it is of utmost importance to this nation.

Attached is a list of requests for Domestic Production Rights and export orders. We look forward to doing business in the future.

Your request has been forwarded to Field Marshal Wallington, the Director of the Protectorate Research and Development Commission. He should respond as he is able with the latest developments.

As regards to naval use of Cromwell, the implementation of effective information exchange and co-ordination immensely improves taskforce lethality and protection. Using a good battlespace management system is thus very conducive to reducing a maritime force without loss of combat capability.

RE: Multiple purchase and DPR acquisition

Your request to purchase the stated items is approved, pending your confirmation. The domestic production rights you seek, however, are not all available to states not officially allied to the Lyran Protectorate... a status that is taken very seriously and often only granted after significant interraction. Specifically, the DPRs you request to the Multi-spectral DPCUs and LY589 Hellion fall into this category. Further, the L45 sidearm, Helios II BVRATGM and C-10 Minotaur are non-Lyran in origin, and we are thus unable to provide domestic production rights to them.

Greetings;

As once you were told, repeat purchases from the Holy Queendom of Brellach are liable to occur, and this is such a repeat.

Our LY4 'Wolfhound' main battle tanks have served the forces of light well, if peacefully, since their arrival on these fair and fertile lands. Sturdy and reliable machines they are, with much punishing power to their credit! Modernisation must roll on much like tanks, however, and so the Legion of Light has been remunerated with even greater funds to allocate on advanced weapons systems.

In Her divine wisdom, Queen Lyta of Brellach has seen the quality of Lyran Arms and has seen fit to acquire further equipment for the protection of her loyal subjects. With burgeoning pocket books we ask to be issued with four of your 'Artillery Division Packages', at a cost per unit of six point eight billion of your dollars, for a total of twenty-seven point two billion dollars. Additionally, we would also order seventy-five thousand units of your 'Dauntless' Ballistic Armour, at a cost per unit of eighteen thousand dollars, for a total of one point three five billion dollars.

This is to bring our purchase value to a lofty grand total of twenty-eight billion, five-hundred and fifty million dollars, or $28,550,000,000 numerically.

Once again much gratitude will be afforded to you in addition to currency, and the possibility of repeat business shall remain high, as is the liability of yet-to-be-established positive international relations.

RE: DPR acquisition - LY589 Hellion

The Lyran Protectorate does not sell DPRs to the LY589 series, save to especially close allies. However, we will not be said to be heedless of the plight of a nation we regard well.

20,000 LY589s are being shipped to you, via Lyran-flagged and escorted convoy. Expect arrival within the NS month.

You have not been charged the NS$60bn that such a purchase would normally entail. Use these weapons to defend your shores, and your people, and you do so with our blessing.

RE: Purchases

Advisor

Your purchase request on behalf of her majesty Queen Lyta, for four artillery division packages, and 75,000 units of 'Dauntless' ballistic armour, at the given sum total of NS$28.55bn, is accepted.

It is always an honour to learn of how we may assist the Queendom, and to further learn of your positive experiences with that we provide.

So as to further enable the Queendom to protect itself, and given the proclivity of nations lacking a sense of morality to utilise weapons of mass destruction, we also provide to you, free of charge, a Skyguard division package, valued at NS$26bn. All one's efforts are in vain, should the whim of a madman turn the work of generations into plate glass.

Our tests have been completed on the LY-7 Rottweiler and we have found it to be a fine product. The Grand Duchy wishes to purchase 500 units of the 120mm gunned version. We also would like the manufacturing rights to the 120 mm gunned version. The first production run will be for 1,500 units. As you know we all ready produce the Warhound, Wolfhound, and Werewolf combat vechiles. My office feels that the LY-7 will be a fine addition to our military forces.

We did have a few problems in the testing process that your department may wish to address.

In our deep snow test we found the LY-7 bogged down much faster then our home built CV-90/120. We also had the same results in the swamp area testing. The Test crew felt that widening the tracks by 5cm may help the problem.

The 140mm gun on the LY-7 had severe recoil issues when fired on the move these seemed to be most pronounced when fired in the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Target acquisition after the gun fired was the main issue. We also discovered that turret break downs happened 50% more often in this verson then in our 120mm test units.

RE: LY7 acquisition

Major

Thank you for bringing the issues stated to our attention. As with most armoured vehicles, modifications to the LY7 can be made to suit environment conditions. Deep snow or mud (as a standard, rather than occasional) eventuality would indeed necessitate a widening of the tracks, and utilisation of the 140mm weapon, rather than the default 120mm, also necessitates adjustments to the platform's hydro-pneumatic suspension. We encountered similar difficulties on un-adjusted versions ourselves. The adjustments are minor, and can be carried out at the unit level. Nevertheless, I shall investigate why it was that your testing staff were not informed of this, and will take appropriate action on this end.

In response to the purchase request, 500 examples of the LY7, equipped with the LY407 120mm ETC smoothbore, have been earmarked for delivery to Tarlag, and DPR purchase is authorised at the standard rate. We do expect that they will provide an effective addition to your AFV arsenal.

If there are any questions or queries, please advance them directly to my office, and I shall respond, post haste.

Sir

We are always priviledged to serve the Vamperial Kingdom, and it is our pleasure to grant your purchase request, at the given total of NS$48 bn. We have been observing your recent conflicts, and have been struck by the competence displayed by your forces, which does you credit, and speaks well of your honour. As such, Executive Command have tasked me to inform you that you have been granted NS$20bn in credit, for your expenditure as desired. We only ask that you continue to stand undaunted, shunning dishonour, and in defence of virtue.

We've wired you the money like we usually do. However, I'm a bit shocked by what you have said as we don't expect this. I've sent a copy of the recent telegram to High King Vamp and he stated that he was grateful for your reply. I would like to know more about this credit that you have given us.

I've also sent this to Vamperial Grand Aerial Admiral Headmaster Lee, Vamperial Grand Headmaster Woff and Vamperial Grand General Headmaster Jian and we have all come to an agreement rather quickly. Some time soon, Woff is going to send you an order which I hope you can cope with. However, I've being ask to ask you if its possible that you become one of our major suppliers in arms that we can't construct ourselves. If its approved, Woff will be sending you an order soon.

We always aim to service, as best we can, those we deem worthy, and we are confident that our manufacturing resources can meet your supply needs. We cannot promise without knowing the details, but we can express our confidence in our productive capacity. If you let us know the nature of the order, we will tell you if it can be filled, and in what time frame.

The credit, essentially, enables you to purchase up to NS$20bn of equipment from Lyran Arms, free of charge. It's credit, not currency, so it's non-transferable, and must be spent here. It is a reward, as I see it, from Executive Command, for good conduct. They can be very discerning, so it is a tremendous compliment. Tremendous to the tune of NS$20bn.

RE: Honour

Sir

Honour is what makes warriors. Without honour, we are thugs, bandits, murderers or mercenaries. Honour is what defines us. Makes us whole. Allows us, and the societies that create us, in their image, to look in the mirror and not cringe.

Honour lets us meet the crucible of war, and be tempered, not consumed by it. Allows us to watch friends burn and stare death in the face, and yet not yield to the otherwise reasonable urge to flee screaming.

Honour, in many respects, is life. Without honour, we may breath, but we are not alive, and are nothing more than shadows of that which we might have been.

An Official Communication from the Field Marshal Ralla Fyatt
To General Aleksandr, Director of the Lyran Governmental Trade Department
Concerning the Purchase of the LY7/222 King Shepherd Anti-Aircraft System

General Aleksandr,

With impending action with warlords in our region on the horizion, we have looked deep into the nature of future opposition. The warlords in question have taken control of sections of a more numerous, now dissolved, nation. While their technological capability is thankfully much lower, we do anticipate that we face a threat of 'being out cannon-foddered' by any close air support assets the warlords might have seized. On this impetus were are driven to purchase additional self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles to supplement our older stock of such vehicles such as the M1097 Avenger,
M48 Chaparral, and the M163 Vulcan Air Defense System.

With my Miraade's permission, I have decided upon your LY7/222 King Shepherd. We would like to acquire:

500 LY7/222 King Shepherd Anti-Aircraft Systems

This will yield a total of 9,000,000,000 USD.

From the heart to hell and back with victory,

To: Lyran Arms

OOC: Since I've decided to throw out my capped population and start RPing with my official pop of around a billion, I'll be needing some equipment.

- 16,500,000 Blacktalon Combat Gloves = $13.2 billion
-5,500,00 fingerless
- 5,500,000 partially-fingerless
- 2,750,000 fully fingered
- 2,750,000 insulated
- 5,000,000 Mamba Tactical Boots = $1 billion
- 4,000,000 Dauntless Body Armor Sets = $72 billion
- 6,000 LY300 Manticore Multiple Rocket Systems = $42 billion
- 6,000 LY7/366 Lammasu Howitzers = $48 billion
- 8 LY471 Skyguard Divisions = $208 billion
- 30 C-10 Minotaurs = $9 billion

Total Cost: $393.2 billion USD ($321.2 billion without Dauntless armor)

Since our original purchase of one million Dauntless sets, we understand that, due to the extraordinary effectiveness of the system, you have limited export to trusted states. While you certainly have our assurances that Lyras is not in the ZMA's sights, we will understand if our status as a frequent customer is not enough to warrant the sale of these armor sets.

Payment, which will take place in equal, monthly payments of $3.28 million over ten years, will commence upon confirmation.

We are interested in purchasing a Standardized LY471 Brigade package, including Rampart missiles, for the purpose of strategic air defense of the Lamonian homeland, as well as ABM capability. We would also like to commend our Lyran friends for the quality and reliability of the LY471 system, which is expected to exceed all Lamonian expectations in this area.

At the present time, we lack an ABM capability, and we have chosen the LY471 to fill that gap in our capabilities. If allowed to purchase the full Brigade package (including Rampart missiles), then Lamoni proposes that the 9.3 billion standard dollar cost be paid via a payment program of 5 billion standard dollars in the first year, and 4.3 million standard dollars in the second year.

Hopefully, our Lyran friends can help us plug this gap in our defensive capabilities.

The Miraadery of Catawaba
An Official Communication from the Alpha Miraade Errant Mira'ad
To General Aleksandr, Director of the Lyran Governmental Trade Department
A Reply to Your Generosity and Thanks

General Aleksandr,

Sir, I cannot begin or find the words to express the thanks that I feel are in order. I have chosen to reply to your generosity rather General Fyatt because that is the least measure I can show to demonstrate how profound my feelings are.

The enemy my people prepare to face are a rank of warlords, pirates, and bandits that once had composed a government. The wave of instability, mostly economic, that swept our region destabilized that loose confederacy and further destroyed any restraint of theirs upon their depredations on other less fortunate and advanced nations in the east most of our region.

While others act to stabilize areas in the center of the region, the burden in the east falls upon my shoulders. We are the nearest power, those with the shortest logistical train, and foremost duty duty to act. We are, however, a middling nation of no more than a hundred million. We have only recently ascended to the fifth generation of military hardware from mostly fourth but some third generation military hardware. Thankfully, our enemy has not advanced past third generation hardware except in a few rare instances.

Any drab or ounce of techonological advantage is a profound force equalizer in this case. And when units of the Catawaba Marines deploy northward to disuade the piracy on land and sea upon other less powerful nations and perhaps into the very heart of this wretched hive of scum and villiany, know that our soldiers will hold your generosity and, in fact, all of Lyras in high regard, sir, because you will save countless Catawaban and other Fatal Terranean lives.

Attached to my message will be instructions on advised routes for the welfare of sailors and the safe delivery of your cargo. Approaches from the due south of Catawaba are best as they are outside any range of military projection from dissolved nations. Rest assured that any attack on Lyran ships or personnel, by nation or person, will constitute a declaration of war upon the Miraadery Catawaba. Furthermore, I will be dispatching two cruiser squadrons from the Catawaban Navy to meet and escort your task group to the southern port of Legget's Landing. Catawaba does not let others defend itself when it is able and does not let friends stand alone.

That, sir, is what I hope we might be one day if we are not already as I do consider us.

From the heart,

Errant Mira'ad

In addition I am to make an order of 1,000 HILARs and 1,000 AR-44s for trials by the Special Forces units to determine a more effective standard rifle.

Also I have been asked by my top engineers if refitting the LY219 "Ironheart" IFV with the 8 x TPFMI “Helios” BVR ATGM launcher in addition to the weapons already on the IFV would cause any licensing issues or technical problems they may have missed. If so please explain in your response. If this is so we may replace current ATGM Ironhearts with LY7 Rottweiler Medium Tanks. Which would require a few thousands units on our next purchase.

More than one conflict has been won by this weapon, in many cases virtually unaided, and the engagement envelope and targetting parameters of the LY589 have become a (if not THE) crucial consideration in any combat zone in which the Protectorate expects to fight.

In that we grant your request for 50,000 units per year, for twenty years, for the price of NS$150bn/year, we expect that the same will become true of Salzland. Should you wish it, we are happy to leave a small technical detachment posted to you, to better employ, maintain and integrate these weapons into the various forces that will utilise them.

As always, if there are questions, please do not hesitate to advance them.

RE: LY589 acquisition

Minister Tirpitz

Queries concerning DPRs to the LY589 are commonplace, and our responses are normally quite similar. In this case, while we acknowledge ongoing and cordial relations between the Protectorate and Federal Republic, no formal alliance between our states exists. We advise the Federal Republic to consider petitioning for entry to the Fedala Accords, under the banner of which number many highly regarded and highly capable states.

While I have yet to raise this issue with Field Marshal Wallins, I am fairly confident that he will have no objection to sponsoring the Federal Republic's entry into the Accords, should that suit your national interests.

We are, however, happy to grant you 100,000 LY589 Hellion advanced cruise missiles per year, for the next three years, for the given price. We are, further, happy to deliver them to you, should your merchant fleet be otherwise occupied.

As always, questions are welcome.

TO: Sir Henry Norton, Minister of Defense, Zinaire
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: LY589 and LY20 acquisition.

It is with no small degree of regret that we decline your request for DPRs to the LY589. As has been the case with a number of applicants to the Hellion missile system, cordial relations in a general sense are not, in and of themselves, sufficient to allow dissimulation of production rights. This situation is particularly uncomfortable in your case, as our relationship with Zinaire is one of nothing but the deepest respect.

As we have suggested to others, we suggest to you now. Submit an application to the Fedala Accords. A state of your high international standing should find the admissions process swift, and the rewards notable, not least amongst thm being formal recognition of the relationship our two states currently enjoy.

We do however, accept your request for 100,000 examples of the LY589, but offer them to you, as a token of our respect for Zinaire and the honour with which it conducts itself, at NS$150bn, rather than the standard NS$300bn. Continue to walk with honour, and Lyras will gladly walk at your side.

Stand undaunted.

RE: 'Mamba' and 'Blacktalon'

In the spirit of the very relationship you detail, and the negotiations being conducted, that DPRs to both 'Mamba' and 'Blacktalon' are hereby provided yo you, free of charge. The soldiers that bear them do so with honour, and are likely also to do so alongside our own, in defence of others that we regard as mutual friends and charges.

Stand undaunted, and we stand with you.
