OOC: This post is from a reporter's perspective, with the King of Shredderstan's comments in italics and some lookers-on putting their voice in. I'll be surprised if you get where the reporter's name came from.

December 8, 2007, St. Stevens Eve, Royal Island of Stevens

This is Snapper Carr reporting. We have word that our beloved monarch, Adam Stevens, will come out from hiding and once again bring safety and security to our once-great nation.

“HEY..what is this fucking hoax? What kind of a place is this? Is this a joke?”

“We took off work for this? Must be a stupid prank..those damn kids with nothing to do. In our day…”

Oh my God, Kent, are you getting this on tape? Is…is that him? My God, he’s changed much from that evening news special I did with him. God, is this how those Maldorian bastards treat such a great man?

My fellow Shredderstanis, I have heard your suffering. I have deliberated night after night since I was deposed from the crown, and while this goes against all that I had said prior to this, to take our vassalship with pride, the Maldorians have gone too far. We have been treated as second-class citizens in our own nation! The Maldorians use us as their pawns for their goals of subjugation and destruction. They spare no man or child from service. They separate young preteens that should be out and about playing hopscotch, and this cannot continue.

I know, I know that this goes against my prior…my speeches to you all and my God, He knows that it’s hard enough staying here holed up in this apartment when I could have been working with the revolutionary groups. I’m.sorry for giving you false hope that this nightmare would end. It isn’t, unless we take action. For this reason, I must put my faith and cooperation with the People’s Army of Shredderstan.

The war will be long and brutal, many of you will not come back. I..don’t know how to tell you this, but you are working for the next generation of our nation. We might not reap the benefits, but our children and our children’s children will. They won’t live in an environment of oppression and hate.

God Bless the Kingdom of Shredderstan..

Your Majesty, would you like to…

No, not right now Snapper.

God, God bless Adam Stevens. Even after all that, damn. Just look at him, he exudes royalty and honor.

John Batther finished off the little bit of coffee left in his mug, put on his reading glasses, and layed back and set his feet upon his desk as he read a report handed to him earlier. He was almost to the bottom when an advisor came in a reported him of a planned revolt from Shredderstan against the Maldorians. It was probably because of the fact that the Northern Baltic was encouraging him to revolt and he had finally broken. It wasn't a surprise, the Shredders were wimps, they cowered at the slightest hint of danger. They had done the same thing to the Hegemony, when the CA had threatened the alliance, he disappeared leaving the joint military service in a wreck. But this time they knew it was coming and would do what it took to hold them in place. If the Shredders would revolt against the Maldorians it would screw too many things up. Entire divisions would be split, and all of the ties and bonds would be broken, shattered, all because of one nation who refuses to stay put. "What, this can't happen, how can we stop it?" commented President John Batther as the advisor finished his report. "We can force them, or go into deep and long politics which will end up being even more fucked up then it would be to send a fleet and kill him." replied the advisor, "Ah, yes war, but what you are forgetting is that we are currently in four. One long term one which is first priority. Do you really recommend it?" "Actually yes, I do, it is the thing we are best at." "You are right there. Ah, I hate to be saying this but alert Admiral Ferish and tell him to go over to Shredder." "Will do sir." and the advisor left the room to go make a phone call.

The once great blue sea was once again covered by a clot of 71 Grestonian Naval Vessels. Fifty were battle ships, one was a Nimitz, and the other twenty was Oscar class subs. They all floated to the once allied region of Lord Sumguys Allies, after a month of leaving the first Hegemony they had become enemies, or just neutral states, no longer the great allies they were. As long as they didn't attack the fleet hopefully they would stay neutral. Madorians and Shredderstan were both of the agression.

To The Mandalorian Emporer, The Mandalore,

We have taken the time to send a fleet over to Shredderstan and stop them from revolting. We hope to see some Maldorians there to help when we storm them. We plan to take control of the government and hand it over to you so you can control their actions, more thoroughly.


To The Leader of Shredderstan,

We know about your plan. It isn't the biggest secret. We have sent troops to stop you from revolting, and if you do they will enact harsh punishment upon your people and land. We are disgusted at how unloyal you are. May our soldiers meet upon the battlefield.

John procceded to stamp the two letters and hand them over to a hand so they could be mailed to the Enemy and Ally.

December 8, 2007, St. Stevens Eve, Royal Island of Stevens

It would not be but fifteen minutes after the King's speech that he would promptly recieve a sealed envelope from one of his many advisors. The black package was odd, out of place, no official markings upon it... just a sealed black envelope. It had been handed off through a series of middle men, until finally it had made it's way into the hands of His Majesty, Adam Stevens. Who had originally printed and handed off the message was irrelevant, one of the many Kroandon Reconnasaince and Intelligence Assosiation cells in the region, serving a purpose he most likely had no idea existed. But that was how things worked in Kroando. Corruption continued Civilization.

To His Majesty, Adam Stevens of Shredderstan

The Imperial Koalition of Kroando and it's powerful friends in Honvorg Iron & Arms have heard of your struggle, and wish to aid you in your quest for independence. As you probably already know, that in any ideological struggle, realism must, at one point be awknowledged and accepted, or you damn your own movement into the abyss of failed revolutions... an abyss full of marked potential, but steadfast stubborness.

If you are to suceed in your war of righteousness, you must now accept the hand extended to you. The Imperial Koalition of Kroando, and it's affiliates offer you weapons, ammunition, and a means to claim victory. We shall import whatever weapons we possibly can, be it small arms, explosives or IEDs. Should you have secured substantial territory, and a means to import larger amounts of weaponry, we shall increase the loads, upgrade the weapons [artillery, tanks, aircraft]... and should your movement show signs of sucess, we shall commit soldiers to the battlefield.

And as you very well expected, such an offer cannot come without it's strings. In the future, once the war has been won, we shall expect mining rights to several of your nation's deposits, and the right to construct of military base along the coast. These two minor stipulations can hardly be considered relevant in comparison to the oppression you now face.

Take this offer under careful consideration.

[KRIA]

Within the hour, a rather official looking letter arrived upon the desk of Adam Stevens. It was sent directly from Faxanavia.
|Official Faxanavian Communique|
Dear sirs,
We wish to voice our dissaproval of your actions. Maldorians being or ally, we cannot condone any such actions as would break you away from him. Therefore, we must ask you now: rescind your actions, before Faxanavian forces come knocking at your doorstep.
Respectfully yours,
Ivansky Bochick
Prime Minister

Official State Telegram:
To: Adam Stevens; Free Nation of Free Shredderstan, Full of Free People
From: Empress Erika Redmark I; Democratic Empire of Great Vantania
We support your effort wholeheartedly, and will be sending in soldiers, guns, ships, and supplies, to insure that your nation doesn't falter in it's quest for freedom. We need only a safe port we can arrive at so that we can start overthrowing the Maldorians. LION membership or not, this is unacceptable and must be changed posthaste.

|Open Faxanavian Message|
Faxanavia will hold strong to its obligations to LION, and will ask you, once again, to halt this attempted revolution before military movements are made.

Respectfully yours,
Ivanksy Bochick
Prime Minister

It was amusing. The Maldorians had been one of the most pesky-if not stupidest in their alliances-nations over the past years, and the Amazonians, though they had nothing against the Maldorians themselves, did not appreciate their support of those who had been in feud with the Dominion. Therefore, seeing those of Shredderstan attempting to break free with mixed reactions, the Dominio could certainly strike a blow back at LION with this. Several smaller nations seemed to be coming to the aid of the Maldorians, but they were just that-small nations. Why not flex military muscle and move in?

Either way, Shredderstan seemed to have good intentions. Rebellion wasn't always the best thing, particularly for an imperial system like in the Dominion, but opportunity was opportunity.


Official Communication to the True Sovereign State of Shredderstan

From the Amazonian Dominion

We hear your plight against the foul nation of Maldorians, a nation that produces bile at the very thought of the name. We in the Dominion are currently free of duties to other theaters or potential hotspots; therefore, we have plenty of supplies and power at our disposition. We are more than willing to move in to your nation to assist against these foul dictators who spoil your nation's lands; we require nothing in return but the pride of defeating yet another enemy.
At your acceptance, we can begin deploying.

~Amazonian Foreign Affairs

Leocardia has islands in the bay of Shredderstan, heavily fortified with anti-air and anti-naval weaponry. Three of the islands, in which have stationed aircrafts dedicated for the TSA Regional Defense. The islands were armed heavily with coastal artillery and ground-based Moskit missiles, though they also were armed with a couple dozen anti-air missiles.

Greston Fleet ahead

Based on radars and satellite imaging, Leocardia determined the exact location of the Greston fleet, as well as the numbers and estimates of what kinds of class ships is present. Quick military experts from the Leocardian Military Operations Command Center (LMOCC) identified certain characteristics of the fleet and what to counter their attacks in various ways.

A Royal Airforce Fleet of 200 JH-17s, from LAFB 075 and LAFB 605 air force bases, took off to attack the visible Greston fleet. With assured confidence, a squad of 70 J-11s escorted the planes to their journey. Every moment was crucial, and satellite imaging kept the battle scene on track.

"So the drums of war beat harder and harder, do they not General Veers?" the solemn King Stevens stated as he attempted to start small talk with the rebel leader. "Indeed, Your Magesty...and do hush up young man, such idiotic comments are not befitting in front of the King" General Veers stated after a passing soldier giggled after hearing "beat harder and harder."

"General, what must we do?"

"I was about to ask you the same question, are you psychic, Adam?"

"This..isn't the time. Take a good look at that boy. Him and others like him will lose their lives in the..."

"...which is WHY we must consider the forces that amass on our side! We don't have to go through this alone, yknow. What kind of revolution succeeded without outside help anyways? ...wait, something troubles you" the General sensed his King's fear

"Don't you think this is all too....charmingly pointless? If our men are killed, what good have we brought on them"

"Seriously, you need to shut the fuck up, Adam. What happened to you?"

"If the rebellion fails, I'm sorry. You'll have to decide what to do. Looks like I've failed my nation, then and now"

"Failed? But you've already saved us in more ways that you can imagine. Before you came to Shredderstan, just a few months after your father died, we were in chaos. It was your example, your leadership, that gave us hope. Since then, we have flourished. You stood behind us then, we are ready to stand behind you now."

"I must see the communiques."

The king began to inspect the documents closely, only being unsure about one of them.

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION TO AMAZONIAN BEASTS, VONTANAS, encrypted:

We humbly accept your aid to our cause.

OOC: Shredderstan is in the light purple

The rebel forces are throughout the area, but it will be easier for you to get mobilize in the Newman Island, southwest of the main island. We suggest that you mobilize in two opposite directions, so as to not bring attention to yourself.

OFFICIAL MESSAGE TO KROANDO

We are grateful that you put your backing behind us. We agree to the terms, but we would humbly request that there be a limit as to how long the base and mining rights continue. Twenty five years seems to be a good number, though.

OFFICIAL MESSAGE TO FAXANAVIA

Our nation has suffered too much under the Maldorians. With all due respect, we cannot overlook the crying of our young and mothers that this occupation has brought.

In a hidden forest base in Shredderstan, the communist rebel commander, Georsky Walker, has just heard of the revolt be led by the king

Georsky Walker: So, his royal heiny has gotten off his couch and decided to DO something has he?

Colonel Soloman: Better late than never I suppose.

GW: Well I suppose we might want to ally with him.

CS: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" type of deal?

GW: Essentially. The king should appreciate our covert networks when his conventional forces are routed.

CS: Or even before. Our intellgence gathering networks are helped by communist parties in every nation in the region!

GW: Indeed, I'll send a cominque offering an alliance.

To King Stevens,

Despite the previous hostility between the monarchy and our forces, we both face a common enemy: the Maldorians. The people deserve better than those pigs, and if you come right down to it, you mr. King are a better option. Thus I, Georsky Walker put the guerilla forces and formidable intellegence gathering capabilities of the Communist Resistance Front at your disposal. Furthermore, when ultimate victory comes, the CRF will lay down its arms and make peace with your government if you will allow a parliment with communist representation.

For freedom comrade,

Georsky Walker, Commander of the Communist Resistance Front

The Imperial Koalition Recognizes Soviergnty, Moves to Secure It
The Imperial Koalition of Kroando hereby awknowledges the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Shredderstan from the Maldorians and has, with the permission of the Kingdom, mobilized the Kroandon 7th Legion in the defense of the newly emerged state. Those whom seek ill will towards this new power seek it towards the Imperial Koalition, and shall be marked as enemies forthwith.

The mining rights lease of 25 years shall be sufficient. We only enquire as to what minerals we would be granted acess to.

Official Leocardian Response

We thank Kroando for acknowledging Shredderstan, and offer support in this situation.

*latches onto thread like a barnacle*

The Royal Air Force Fleet in air

The instant mobilization of the Royal Air Fleet went well and under schedule. "L-MOCC, we are near the enemy. Requesting permission to attack." The message was directed to the LMOCC, which was eagerly waiting for a response. "This is LMOCC. Permission to unload payload granted." The JH-17 captain motioned his hands. "Roger that. All units attack at will." The bombers drove themselves forward from the rest of the fleet and went on to dive and unload their packages on the Greston fleet.

Message to His Majesty Adam Stevens

While the Armed Republic usually does not involve itself in affairs such as this we have chosen to support you due to our extreme dislike of the Mandalore and his pathetic imperialistic nation. We will supply you with guns, bombs, and information on your enemies via our OBSAT network. In exchange for our services we expect to be given mining rights to several places in your country aswell as being allowed to establish a permanent military base in your nation.

OPEN MESSAGE TO MULTITANNA
Of course we accept the terms. A citizen of Shredderstan is a citizen, Communist or no.

OPEN MESSAGE TO KROANDO
Iron ores, salt, and gold are our main minerals.

At the news of the revolt being endorsed by the deposed King Adam, the people rose up in open strife against their overlords. Effigies of the Mandalore have been burnt in the streets and many rocks have been thrown at the police force. As of now, there have only been isolated incidents of extreme brutality at the hands of the populace; the most extreme being the execution of the mayor's family as they ran to the the embassy. King Stevens has condemned these excesses and has asked that all high-ranking officials be kept under excellent treatment as a sign of goodwill.

[Is there a map of your nation/list of Maldorian's deployments in the country?]

Colonel Solomen: The King has agreed to our conditions.

Georsky Walker: Well its not the full communist revolution we were formed for but its the best we're going to get. Now let's stick it to those Mandolorian bastards.

CS: I've taken the liberty of sneaking some of our best commandos across the border and into Mandolorian territory. They should be making themselves known soon.

*At a mid-sized military garrison in the Mandolorian territory*

Agent 1: Fools, their arrogant superiority has left them wide open for attack.

Agent 2: The next attack won't be so easy sir.

Agent 1: True, but if our jobs were easy, anyone could start a successful revolution.

Agent 2: Yes sir, for the revolution!

Agent 1: For the revolution!

*explosions rack the compound as the barracks, mess hall, and officers quaters are blown up*

*similar attacks happen on 3 smaller bases in Mandolorian territory*

"There it is, men. There is where our enemies will fall. We'll be docking within the hour. The Maldorians think we're on they're side, so we wouln't be having any problems, and the King has welcomed us as allies. Remember, we're to mix entirely with the other nations' defenses. Don't make any friends though, half of them will probably be dead by the time this whole endeavor is over. By the time this is over..."

The Admiral stood at the bow of the ship, which itself was at the spearpoint of one hundred ships, all of them transporting supplies, weapons, and most importantly, men. Most of the other soldiers, after hearing his "speech" had gone about to do the duties that had to be done, be it excersizing, cleaning their weapons, or mentally preparing themselves. These men were not the bravest of the brave, none of them were the top of their class. The Empress had declared this war "a minor conflict, not worthy of the Elite." So, the 51st had been assigned the job, with no reinforcements except interns in need of experience. They were the grunts, expendibles, lives waiting to be lost. They would fight and die here, but they would have some effect on the victor...

The Admiral stood, he alone knew of the plan that had been set in place, and of the damage it would do. These men were the perfect ones for the job, all ten thousand of them. All of them, including himself, would be dead by the mission's end, but such was the cost. The outcome more then justified the death of ten thousand throw aways.

OOC: sorry I lost the thread.

IC:

There was a build up of aircrafts surrounding the fleet's area but they just thought it to be contractors or allies, but they were horribly wrong they urged closer and closer when aircrafts surrounded them dropping payloads of explosives. The aircrafts flew around the fleet, they were like a large swarm of mindless humming flys only these were deadly flys. The fleet's ships shot Patriots at the flys to shew them away but the aircrafts still took out over 40 of the ships before they started to fire back. There was only eleven surface ships left, the other twenty were the Oscar class subs. The subs would be safe but the surface ships had a sure chance of going to hell. But even through their lack of numbers the still fired Patriots when they could.

OOC: Shredderstan, that is not your map. Your map is a large island with a smaller island. Please revert back to the one that you showed me or explain your sudden change.

OOC: Shredder you never responded to my messsage

OOC: Let's solve whatever the map issue is so I can figure out what's up with your nation's geography. Otherwise, things could get difficult.

IC:

After pledging support on the issue, and with a massive stock of military wares on the home front (Amazonia maintained no colonies overseas, had no territories, and was involved in no wars), the Dominion was ready to start sending out the military machine once more to begin laying down the fires of assault. The Imperial Navy, pride of Amazonia's seas for a nation that relied on the ocean, sat noisely in Oceana Harbor, the nation's largest seaport and naval base. It was virtually impregnable, covered in defensive formations, crisscrossing missile grids and cannon outposts, ships and aircraft deployed in defensive formations. The actual flotilla to be deployed was completing final preparations, with Grand Admiral Warrick Kaesviharn in command this time around for the armada. His flagship, the alpha dreadnought ADV Venerable, was armed to the teeth with weapons emplacements and laden with a full crew complement. Surrounded by support craft and supply ships, Venerable and the carriers of the fleet recieved what more they needed as Kaesviharn briefed squadron commanders aboard the heavily armed flagship.

"I want Owls on eye at all times," Kaesviharn dove into the summary regarding protocols, "make sure we have all angles covered. Keep a squadron on each carrier at Alert 15 at all times once we close within 500 nautical miles of the nation in question. Maintain communications with operations and HK sats. Keep Summits on the perimeters to watch for potential incursions, but under fire coverage from the largers."

"Sir, in regards to chain of command-"

"Getting there. In the case that my flagship becomes unable to adequately issue command, than Admiral Harrison takes command," Kaesviharn indicated the former Wing Commander, now commanding the Equinox-class carrier Solstice.

"Further orders will come as we continue to move deeper towards hostile territory. For now, return to your respective posts-we move out within the hour."

As Kaesviharn had said, the armada was underway within forty minutes, several corvettes leading out the mighty naval formation as it left Oceana Harbor, already an Owl sentry aircraft in the air above prowling for undetected vessels or hostiles. The destination was defense and war.

The sudden change is as a result of me moving to another area.

To: Grand Admiral Warrick Kaesviharn
From: Adm. William Kane, LION Secretary of Foreign Affairs

RE: Shredderstan Revolt


Greetings, Sir. I only wish it were under better circumstances that I communicate to you. Given the situation at hand, I feel that I must do my duty on part of my League office.

Let me get to the point. I wish to know your reason as to why you are supporting the Shredderstan revolt. This is an internal matter of the Maldorians. Yes, Shredderstan has asked for outside help, but is what they ask for right? Should they be given help? Do you know what they will do once the Maldorians are gone? Suppose they become the next terrorist nation, a home base upon which terrorist acts could be carrier throughout the world. Is the support you give today worth that?

I ask that you cease you support for this nation, and let the Maldorians keep what they have already spent lives on. It should be the work of nations to avoid war, not to help further the destruction and chaos it thrives on. What would it take for you to withdraw your support and not interfer in this situation?

I look foward to your quick reply,

William Kane, Adm.
LION Secretary of Foreign Affairs.

ooc: If I'm not supposed to know the armada's specific commander, then assume this letter goes to your nation's leader, AB.

OOC: He's a high-up within my ranks, so it's cool that you know him.

Open Communication from the Amazonian Dominion

Addressed to William Kane of LION

Let me congratulate you first on an honest communication. Additionally, it is good that you have loyalties to which nations you are allied to, otherwise, what allies would you be?

Your points, however, strike out. Maldorians is a card-carrying member of LION, truth told-however, they are also a well-known figure in the Corporate Alliance, a league of nations that is not well-liked amongst nations that participated in the war between the CA and the New Prussian Empire, the alliance of which Amazonia was once a member. Maldorians has gone further as a nation besides fighting against some of the Dominion's former tied allies (and still close international friends, such as the nation of TPF), aiding the enemy of one of the Dominion's wars (against an entire coalition, nonetheless), as well as continuously trying to stand in the face of justice on internationally-condemned nations across the globe on numerous accounts.

The Dominion is a nation that prefers order, but sometimes order requires chaos. Maldorians-and several other, going-unnamed nations-have been on the Dominion's radar far too often, and not for good reasons. Sometimes, they have been on the battlegrid-each time, on the opposing side. You grasp at the potential for Shredderstan to develop into a harbor of international terrorism-we believe not. Do you condemn revolution everywhere? We applaud that you support your allies in such a scenario, though your brave face cannot contain the malicious poison that bubbles below.

The work of nations is to maintain order on the international scale-and sometimes, a little rebellion is just the cure to maintain such order and teach lessons in humility. Occasionally, such rebellions need a little help from benefactors. The Dominion is not in short supply of war material. As what it would take for us to even attempt to message our command about potential withdraw from liberating those under the Maldorian foot...let us say it would be substantial-something along the lines of Maldorians's resignation from both the CA and LION, at a minimum, along with a probing international unit to monitor proceedings in a still-controlled Shredderstan to ensure that fair treatment would be administered to the nation's populace and that a sphere of self-government (under a Maldorian larger group) would be allowed to represent Shredderstan. We cannot even imagine coexisting on the same land with the Maldorians, let alone being subservient to them. Amazonia can't even imagine scraping them off the spikes of a track shoe.

We hold nothing against your nation, despite your alliance with Maldorians. It'd be best if we didn't have to hold something against you.

300 Kilometers South of Shredderstan

Grand Marshal Klague walked along the deck of the KKS Decompser, the massive Overlord SuperDreadnaught leading the Kroandon Fleet further towards Shredderstani Waters, cutting through the thick blue waves like butter. The Marshal simply stared out across the ocean, longing for battle, battle which had eluded Kroando for so long. The truth of the matter was simple. Kroando was dying. It was decaying from within. Slowly but surely, Kroandon Power in the world was fading. And it had little to do with the strength of the Kroandon people. The reason was simple. Kroando was running out of natural resources. Gross over exploitation of the mineral deposits in Antarctika meant one thing. Kroando would now have to harvest it's life line from somewhere else. And the few colonies Kroando held simply would not feed the hungry economy... more... more...

[Basically a post before I assume I'm landing unopposed. I am 300km's south of the island... if you want to intercept me navally... attack me.]

Open Declaration

I, William Kane, as the LION Secretary of Foreign Affairs, publically comdemn the nation of Vontanas for their open support against the nation of Maldorians. Their actions violate the Charter for the League, by taking sides against another member without prior consultation of all League members. You are in direct violation of the League. Cease your actions against the Maldorians and your punishment for this offense may be reduced. Continue, and you face sanction and possible expulsion from the League, not to mention swift action by all League members against your nation.

Adm. William Kane
LION Secretary of Foreign Affairs

Star Office

The Ministers were all gathered in the Tsar's Executive office (no one has used the Throne Room in an official capacity for 2500 years), examining the new situation.

"Sir," began Minister Kabanov, Foreign Affairs. "Maldorians is a member of the Corporate Alliance, of which Greater Prussia has had a very negative stance to. I don't think we should get involved." Minister Golovko, State Security, shook his head.

"No, we should get involved. Why don't we support the rebels? If they succeeded, then it would weaken Maldorians." Tsar Xavier juggled the ideas around in his head when Marshal Darii - acting Defence Minister - spoke.

"I don't think it would be wise to get involved militarily, considering the current wars with Undershi and in Nova Europa, as well as the insurrections in Southern Derscon." As if it hit a trigger, Tsar Xavier slapped his hands on his desk.

"That's it! No, Darii, you're wrong in that sense, we have the power to fight three wars. But that's it -- Nova Europa....

"We will help the Maldorians suppress the insurgency, and in return, they will support our efforts in Nova Europa. Minister Kabanov, send a wire to the Mandalore, I would like to speak with him personally and securely."

The Faxanavians had stayed silent throughout the internal afairs, unsure of what actions to take after Vontana had sided with the Shredderstani's. Vontana was one of the higher-ups in LION, and, as such, the actions of LION were unclear. However, after the open condemnation by Orzio, it was time to take action...

Three carrier groups were mobilized from Faxanavia- Group Bravo, Group Alpha, and the infamous Group Delta. They were carrying a multitude of fighters, and prepared for a siege on Shredderstan, if it became necesarry. The three groups cruised across the ocean, heading on the long trek to Shredderstan.

We cannot, and will not, yeild to our own alliance. The Shredderstani are a noble people, and will have the luxury of freedom handed to them.

Shredderstani Port, Royal Province

Having bypassed the island, due to it's being a Maldorian stronghold, the Vantanians now were approaching a port. Determined to unload the precious cargo quickly, the Vantanians sent out a telegram as they hovered away from the port.

Official State Telegram:
To: Shredderstani Port, Royal Province
From: The Fleet
Greetings from the Vantanians! We are here in order to make good on a promise we gave to your Rightful and Noble King, to deliver the Nation of Shredderstan back to him, the hands of a Shredderstani worthy of holding them. To help keep this promise, we need to unload our men so we can begin placing coastal defenses. We hope you accept.

Kane read the reply from the Vantanians with disbelief. They were openly defying their own alliance, one which they helped create and lead, against one of its own members. He set the dispatch down on his desk, just staring at it as he contemplated the next move. A hearing would of course be brought before the LION members, but that was just politics, and that often enough didn't have any power behind it to stop matters as they were happening. No, that would do nothing. Explusion was definately on the table, with that being determined by what would happen in this conflict. Most likely, that step would be taken. But until then, the Vantanians would still be in open conflict with the Maldorians.

An aide came into the room with another dispatch, this one still warm from the printer. On it was the movements of all participants, broken down by nation, including their distance to the Shred. nation. There was a new nation moving assests now, Faxanavia. They were starting to send a big portion of their navy. Apparently they decided, after the condemnation, they needed to take action in support of LION. Well, Kane thought, at least one nation is. He picked up the phone on his desk, and hit the button that led him to his secretary.

"Jane, its me. Get in touch with all department heads, including the Joint Chiefs. Tell them to mobilize all naval units and prepare for orders and destinations. I want all available ships ready in 24 hours. Have the JC's set to Status 2. We're going to war."

"That's it! No, Darii, you're wrong in that sense, we have the power to fight three wars. But that's it -- Nova Europa....

"We will help the Maldorians suppress the insurgency, and in return, they will support our efforts in Nova Europa. Minister Kabanov, send a wire to the Mandalore, I would like to speak with him personally and securely."

Heavily Encryped Mandalorian Message

Comrade, how happy I am to hear from you! Our situation is dire, as you might have realized. Maldorian troops are already engaging whatever traitors happen to lie in his Royal Island. This uprising could be quickly subdued, but because of all of the foreign assistance, that is going to be a problem. We ask you, friend, for your aid in this crisis. Weapons, men, anything! We will be waiting for your reply with much interest, friend.

~The Mandalore.
-Supreme Ruler of the Tyrannical Mandalorian Empire.

Maldorian Command Center, Royal Island of Stevens

Dark General Kamil paced the office, alongside his two aides. The situation is getting much, he realized to his discontent. The small party of men stepped into a war chamber, filled with Maldorian colonial officers. There were two main stances that the general's took. One was to destroy every square foot of Shredderstan, yet the other more logical ideal included razing everything, but moderating the killings of the innocent. "Comrades, let us have order! I have made the decision!" Soon, the whole room was in silence as the Dark General continued. "I will be leading a group of infantry to storm the capital* and burn the whole place. Hopefully Shredderstan will see that we will not surrender easily. Admiral Zaheer will take control of whatever ships we have. Zaheer, you must keep Kroando out of here, be it peacefully or forcefully. Good luck, men!" And with that, the staunch officer parted.


*Capital of your island, unless your capital is on your island

Royal Island of Stevens Capital

Throughout the island, one simple message was given to all commanding officers; Attack at will. Much of the ground elements were focusing on the city. Pre-targetted positions on the capital had soon been fired upon by SA-4 M200 Desolator batteries. Such targets included military installations, large troop concentrations, and even the capitol building itself. The destruction of the capital was planned to be a quick, simple procedure. Artillery pieces would tear up the capital as tanks and infantry moved in unoppressed.

Waters of the Royal Island of Stevens

Admiral Zaheer, a dedicated Muslim, marched into the command bridge of the Leviathan Class Super Dreadnought. As dismissing the saluting officers, he addressed the main topic of importance for the time being; Kroando. "Someone write something up telling them to leave these waters. Make it fancy or something. I'm not the kinda guy for writing...peaceful...things."

Heavily Encypted Message to approaching Kroando Fleet

Good afternoon from the 1st Overseas Colonial Fleet. We have a small problem with you and your noble people, it seems. Please, sir, inform us as to why Kroando ships approach our waters? Do you wish to support us in our noble suppression of this violent rebellion? Or, are you aiding the terrorists? Kroando-Maldorian relations have never been bad, sir. We even supported your liberation of Far Echo Islands, do you not remember? We were willing to send troops to assist you in your noble cause. So, then, why do you wish to harm us? Please, enlighten I and my fellow Maldorians.

Allahu Ackbar.

~1st Overseas Colonial Fleet



OOC: Estimated Group Troops in Royal Island
5 infantry divisions
1-2 armor divisions
2 navy groups
1 air group

[Due to Vontanas-Kroandon Relations, a complete 180 is in order. Oh, and in regards to that whole Far Echo Islands thing, I ignore it. Akimonad godmodded the hell out of his own forces, not only by making a fleet bigger than Questers' wet dream, but through his horrible nUkz RP style. Anyways, if you do not understand my change in heart, read up on my 'We Are Dying' thread.]

Encrypted Response to Maldorian Command

As you may or may not know, we are at total war with the Dogs of Vontanas. We seek to destroy them and everything they may stand for. While we recognize that they hold kinship with your people through LION, we cannot cease in our quest to irradicate their power from this earth, and must insist that you force them from your ports, into awaiting guns, so that we may return to the main front, in Vontanas. We do not seek to insult the intelligence organizations of the Mandalore, however it seems as if Vontanas, your supposed ally, is supporting rebel activity within Shredderstan. We seek to do no harm to the Maldorians, nor infringe upon their soviergn rights upon Shredderstan. Previous reports indicating our support for Shredderstand were forged by Shredderstani Rebels, using our frequencies to immitate our true actions. We seek only the opportunity to destroy the Vontanians.

Grand Marshall Klague

Georsky Walker: Comrades this is a brave thing your are doing.

Captain Thaler: It is the least we can do for the revolution.

GW: You realize that your chances of returning alive are slim don't you?

CT: Of course, but that crusier will be sunk and an entire crusier for three men's lives is a good trade in my book.

Colonel Soloman: Here are the charges, specially design for attacking ships. You will sneak up to the ship with scuba tanks and a small motor with these charges, place them on the underbelly of the crusier, get a safe distance away and blow the charges. After this is done you will have to return to shore quickly as the entire enemy navy will focus all its efforts on searching for you.

CT: I understand comrade colonel.

GW: Good then, and may you further the revolution!

*Captain Thaler and his two assistants evade detection while approaching a Maldorian crusier bombarding the Royal Island of Stevens, place the charges, and make it half way to shore before blowing the charges. However, while returning, one of CT's men's scuba gear malfunctions and he is forced to surface. Alert Maldorian sentries see the surfaced man and several ships begin firing in that area, killing all three men.*

The Admiral read the recall, sweating. He started ordering the troops about. A full reversal of the Shredderstani campaign, to bring troops in to protect the colonies.

|Official Faxanavian Communique|
Having heard and understood the plight of our allies in Great Vantania, and having conferenced with various internal LION personell, the Faxanavian forces will be returning from their trek to Shredderstan to help support the Vantanian forces against the Kroandan might.

Respectfully yours,

OFFICIAL TRANSMISSION of THE UNITED FEDERAL REPUBLIC of ANTIGR


http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc40/NS_Antigr/AntigrSeal_Pic01.jpg


To: All Forces involved in action of any kind against Maldorians in this conflict
From: The Antigran President, Johnathan F. Pierce, the Antigran Secretaries of Defence, Foreign Affairs, and Internal Affairs, the Antigran Offices of Defence, Internal Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Allies and Alliances

While the Maldorians may have done some things that you disagree with - or even we disagree with - in their time, doesn't detach from the fact that Maldorians is an ally. We will honor that Alliance, with any force required.
So, here are our demands. Non-negotiable.

- All military or otherwise action is taken against the Maldorians, and the violence stops within 6 hours.
- You push off. Permenantly.
- (Those two again for good measure)

We are open, as always, for diplomatic talks - however, in this day and age, we have a significant, to say the least, military muscle and we will flex it if you do not do as is above forementioned.

Shredderstan. This is your first apperance in our bad books, and, if you do not cease action like the others, it will be your last. In the sense that 12 million men - yes, 12 million, up to and including - will be sent to utterly annihilate you. Our message: Quit it, bub. This is your only chance, unless we're feeling nice, which we are not.


ANTIGRAN MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF THE ADAN



http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s129/antigr/ADANSeal.gif

This message is being sent to all sides in this conflict

While this message is purely Antigran, we are speaking on behalf of the ADAN. This is not an ADAN message. However, we pretty much feel the same, us and the Alliance. So, we all say this:

To the aggressors and their supporters: Cease all action. Now. You will have read our other message - the friendly threat one - telling you what we'll do to you. The ADAN has some members who are not as peaceful as we Antigrans. And no, they're experienced people (OOC: They aren't n00bs) and build good nuclear missiles to fire at you. By our calculations, the combined ADAN force deployable in a reasonable time is over 50 million, considering that I can deploy my total overseas-capable forces of 23 million within 100 hours, generally.

Cease action, and push off, or we will use the might of the ADAN, in a way not benifitting you.

To Maldorians: Hello there, ally. We have seen the full extent of your plight and are willing to help. We have sent you copies of our threat messages, to give notice to you of what we can do to help you. We won't make this message long; we just want you to know we're standing by to come to your aid. And so is the rest of the ADAN. Good luck, brother.

OOC: I suppose that's the winner of the ADAN seal competition then?

"With all of these forces mounting up against us" the King thought, "we have no chance to succeed. The world population has lost favor with us. I had the best of intentions, to return our nation back to the Shredderstanis, but it has all been for naught."

"And YOU!" pointing at his counselors, "YOU SAID THAT THEY WOULD LEAP TO DEFEAT THE MALDORIANS. You sorry, sorry bastards. What kind of men are you? What kind of crap do you think the Maldorians will do. YOU THOUGHT IT WAS BAD BEFORE. Goddamn...GOD FUCKING DAMMIT."

"sir.." a lowly janitor interjected, "SHUT THE HELL UP YOU! Cant you see what is about to face us" the King rudely stopped him from finishing his thoughts.

OFFICIAL SECRET HIGHLY ENCRYPTED MESSAGE FROM THE KING OF SHREDDERSTAN TO ALL MILITARY FORCES

We are hereby moving ALL civilians to the shores of the island. All of them must bring all of their belongings. We will burn ALL cities without prejudice
after they are vacated. All valuable machinery for the war effort will either be moved or destroyed.

May not be active often for this fortnight - so don't get angry and don't say I didn't tell you. *yay, Christmas*

HMS Orr'eshogg

The Seraphim-class ultra-carrier flagship of the Second Grand Fleet currently acted as the central command for the Dersconi forces heading to suppress the Shredderstani revolts.

They were nearing the theatre of war as the flags met in the Admiral's Suite, when an aide came in.

"Sir, message from the Shredderstani." Field Marshal Makar Vabkav waved the aide over and read the message, smirking.

"So, my friends," he said, taking a sip of his Allistaire Vodka. "Take a look at this. 'We are hereby moving ALL civilians to the shores of the island. All of them must bring all of their belongings. We will burn ALL cities without prejudice after they are vacated. All valuable machinery for the war effort will either be moved or destroyed.'" Lord General Chakan Iaketa let out a small chuckle.

"Who the fuck do these guys think they are?" Grand Admiral Kosar Velshavi glanced over at the Lord General -- clearly from the Xavieran School (as opposed to the Old Guard, who still found honour in warfare, of which Admiral Velshavi aligned himself to), where brute personalities and tactics were not only norm, but required.

"Well, it's not a smart move, but it may prevent landing craft from hitting the beaches." Marshal Vabkav grunted.

"No. We will not be stopped in our mission due to civilian shielding. We were sent to crush the rebellion, we will do so." Admiral Velshavi studied Vabkav with interest. He's not Xavieran, but he's definitely not one of the Old Guard -- he's too young, first off. So...what?

"Well, we can move them of--"

"No." The Marshal cut the Admiral off. "As Theatre commander, I'm making the decisions here. We will not waste resources. Admiral, tell Admiral Kozschyeti to ready the Hail of Fire. You as well. No civilian mass will stop this mission.

"Kill them all. God will know his own."

I see Shredderstan's last post was in the opinion that no-one has airborne to land in the middle...
