So this is my first rp with this account and it's a MT rp. The basic plot is this:

A nation has threaten Mu Cephei trade, which Mu Cephei relies on very heavily for money, for awhile now. Those threats have recently turned into actions. This nation has taken over a chain of five large islands near the Mu Cephei homeland. After several months of fighting at sea Mu Cephei has gained a (small) foothold on the islands, 4 out of 5 to be exact. This is where our rp shall begin...

This rp will be very intense and very realistic. I ask that you send realistic number of troops, tanks, aircraft, etc. I also ask that you treat everyone's military with respect. The NPC nation isn't a pushover. It has a large modern military that can give anyone a run for their money. So don't just act like your army can't be beat and your army is pure ownage.

If you wish to join then you may do so. All I ask for is a little info on what you planned on sending to the fray and why. If you need a reason why then you can use the one(s) I'm about to supply you with (even though you could afford to be a little creative with your reason).

[Insert nation name] has been trading with you (Mu Cephei) for some time now and we find trading with you to be very good. We feel like our trade with your nation has been threaten by these recent events. This is why we formally request to join your side and ensure unhindered trade with you for the future.

Or if you want to fight against me.

[Insert nation name] feels threaten with the fact that you control much of the trade around you. This is why we feel you must be removed so that our great nation can progress forward with trade with the nations around you.

Or something along those lines...

If your confused about something or just wondering about something just ask and I'll answer all your questions. I'll be posting my forces soon, a description of the NPC as well as it's military, and the setting in which this rp shall partake in soon. This is just to see if anyone is interested in joining though.

Rastier has been trading with you (Mu Cephei) for some time now and we find trading with you to be very good. We have found these recent events to be totally unacceptable This i join your side and ensure unhindered trade with you. Thus, we will be sending 10,000 troops, 500 tanks, 100 F-22 Raptors, 100 B-1s, 50 C-130s and 40 KC-10s and KC-135s to your country. Medical units and aid will also be supplied.

Welcome to the rp.


Now for some background info...

There are two sides to this war. The Allied States of Mu Cephei and the United Military States of Rigel. What will be seen in the first few post is that Rigel was once a very powerful country in this region. It would often build large stockpiles of weapons, instigating a war between two different countries, selling arms, and then moving in to stop the war as a "police action." They would take all the guns away and sell them again. This gave them a nice profit before Mu Cephei came along. At first Mu Cephei stayed out of military conflicts, but soon started sending troops in to put an end to these wars. Instead of taking the guns away (which Rigel sold to the fighting nations) they destroyed them. After several years Rigel collapsed and the country when into a depression. A few years later Rigel is back on track and believes that the system it used to make money will work as long as Mu Cephei no longer intervenes in the wars it sets up. This is why they plan on destroying Mu Cephei's trade making it poor and no longer cable of deploying troops anywhere. More detailed info will be in the IC thread.

Any questions? Suggestions?

I might be interested; my nation is wrought with various factions, vying for power as the Empire begins to look less and less stable. One of these factions is the Imperial Janissary Corps, a pseudo-private army of a government official. They are not very well-trained, not very well equipped, and their leaders are not very good, being as they are all slave-soldiers forced into combat. Morale is high, however, as they fear their masters more than their enemies - obviously escape is preferential, but if they are caught, they know what will happen...

In any case, this may be an appropriate force for you to compete with, but they are unlikely to side with either force, unless they are paid in land, slaves or money. More likely, they are a second belligerent, acting out of opportunity to strike at vulnerable or confused trade routes.

The Imperial Janissary Corps would likely deploy a small number of ships, to harass trade and such, but as it becomes obvious that a base nearby would be beneficial in a large way, they would strike at either factions islands, probably with a no more than a single division - comprised of roughly ten-thousand infantry and two-hundred tanks. Aircraft and naval supplies will be small, and mostly outdated Soviet-style equipment.

I will ask them if they want to join in (if you agree) and we can each pick a side. One of us sees this as an opertunity to open up a new market whilst denying the other or some such.

I would probably only deploy a few hundred troops. I'll telegram you about them if you are ok with all that.

Well there is one Oil Company called Black Rock Oil and Gas that was established just to give some feirce compition to Griffencrest and stuff and they attack trading ships for oil and trading goods. They have missions like plundering a specific fleet or attacking a specific oil mine or feild so maybe the next mission could be to attack your trading ships for some specific reason I could think up a pretty good story for it in a few seconds if you would like.

As cheap as we are selling our Bio-Diesel, I would think that we would be a major target for you, as the destruction or capture of Bio-Diesel ships would be a very tasty objective.

OOC: Here is the IC post if neccesary.

IC:

"Well hello Maxx, welcome in."

Arthur Grant, the current CEO of Black Rock, nodded as Maxx Farker the one in charge of the mission planning and carrying out walked into the room. Arthur was like a fierce dictator, he had almost complete control over the company and employees, actually he had control all of all of the things that the government didn't have control over, it was evenly spread out, Black Rock controlled most of the economy and employed most of Aligar and the government would pardon and overlook all of their wrong doings as well as supply them with most of their weapons and give the rights and privileges of all employees to Arthur. Maxx was like his second in command, if it wasn't for him Arthur would have no power what so ever. It was Maxx who carried out most orders and enforced the rest; he was the one who spread fear across the corporation.

Maxx walked in with his skinny long arms, covered by a dark grey jacket, crossed behind his back.

"Hello Mr. Grant, I have some... important, um, information."

"Well don't just stand there, spit it out sir."

"Well Mr. Grant a nation by the name of Mu Cephei has a large trading system that spreads out to almost everywhere around it. Their economy supports mainly on foreign trade so what I thought was that we send a small fleet or two to go and plunder the ships, fuck 'em up, and leave 'em massacred and mutilated."

Arthur nodded in approval throughout Maxx's explanation. Maxx finished up and he rested his elbows on his desk and held his held up with his hands.

"Yes, and what does this have to do with us?"

"Well there is one rival group of the nation's called The United Military States of Rigel, we could fuck up those fleets and make it to look like they did it. We get away with some money and don't get any lawsuits. It is perfect."

"Well you got me there, who we have in stock."

Going up to Arthur was like visiting the current emperor, one wrong move and you would end up with a firing team pointing a guns at your face. Only with Arthur he would take a dog choke collar with the spikes, tie it around your neck then tie it to the back of his car and drive.

“Well Andrew 15029’s squad is open, so is Jacob 17709’s squad, as well as possibly Farder 18853’s men. We can plop them on board the Venture Fleet and there we have it some pirates upon the sea.”

Arthur nodded his head in approval once more, stood up, and said.”

“Great the armory is open to them so they can gear up. Have them gone by Friday, this sounds like we have an opportunity to get some business cause I am tired of these stockbrokers.”

Maxx smiled, bowed and then left Arthur’s office.

Letter To Mu Cephei trade

The nation of The People's Republic of XanaMing would like to enter the arena in representation of the World Conglomerate region, as we are one of the most economically capable countries we would like to offer a gift of 800 million Yutos for your own purposes and if needed 2.1 billion Yutos in loans. Due to our neutrality we may only offer CSF (Conglomerate security forces), trained by us personally, along with The Republic of Egres, and Orbath. CSF may only be used for guarding important trade routes and will not ever be used in an offensive capabilities. I assure you that although the number of CSF is small, they are known as one of the most capable surgical defensive forces in the world.

We also maintain jurisdiction over the actions of our own CSF however.

Since all member nations of The World Conglomerate are corporate and pure trade nations we feel that any threat on trade is a treat to us. We are one of the most economically powerful regions around and large amounts of trade are exchanged between Mu Cephei and us. Any slowing of trade would be a dent in our corporate profits.

As you see although we are neutral we still maintain a stance on our business prospects, after all

Sounds fun and your welcomed into the rp.

You know this isn't a trading thread, but if you want to rp in the thread as ships trying to get into Mu Cephei for trade your more then welcomed to just watch out for all the pirates.

ooc: another Nser and I have been moving into a conflict which resulted in their declaring that they wouldn't trade or talk with anyone we were.

A few hundred troops isn't bad at all. As long as anyone doesn't send a million troops then I'm okay. Heck you could send an entire army and I would be okay with it. Also, if you can get him/her to join then by all means you two are free to rp as rivals on either side.

Well there is one Oil Company called Black Rock Oil and Gas that was established just to give some feirce compition to Griffencrest and stuff and they attack trading ships for oil and trading goods. They have missions like plundering a specific fleet or attacking a specific oil mine or feild so maybe the next mission could be to attack your trading ships for some specific reason I could think up a pretty good story for it in a few seconds if you would like.

I hadn't thought about anyone attacking my trading ships to take advantage of the war, but you are more then welcomed to do so.

To eleborate about Montana Inc, since my last post was short and pathetic..

Montana Inc is after one thing, profits, like every other business, so what we will try and do is either stir the bucket, or let someone else cause chaos and we move in. We will probably start by selling off some Assurance (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=548769) Class Freighters to the companies then bring in some of our own "specailist" to either clean up or to pirate depending on which way would balance the economy.

and of course we will sell guns and drugs to whoever needs or wants them...

Okay, just remember though. The more you stir the bucket the more likely the next "merchant fleet' you plan on raiding will be a carrier task force. However, if you rp it right you can do whatever you want and make a major profit with little trouble (from the military at least).

If you want I can rp Mu Cephei having a low supply of fuel and I can have a fleet of ships meet yours'. Then they would escort you to Mu Cephei to transport the goods or do you want to do your own thing?

All we are sending is maybe six battleships or whatever we can afford. DO the ships with the deisel have any weapons?

I would suggest sending a few subs as well or your battleships are going to get wiped out by any military fleet it comes into contact with (or nuclear sub for that matter). Try sending some destroyers asa well to counter air threats. Just a suggestion though. Do whatever you want to do.

So am I going to be able to attack ''the enemy'' who is restricting shipping? Oh and when is the IC thread coming?

Yes, you may do as you please. Remember, this is a freeform site! :D

'aight, with the Janissaries in the fighting, I can more accurately point out their forces...

Firstly, all of my ships deployed initially are commerce raiders, and will be acting alone, i.e., not as a fleet - the exception is the submarines, who operate in pairs.

Now, the ships sent are generally outfitted with older technology - the exception here is the electronics systems, which have obviously been updated from the eighties, and the missiles to which many of the systems are tied too. These are modern Pudite missiles, as used by the rest of the Pudite Imperial Navy. Because of the influence of the masters of the Janissaries, and the nature of the Pudite military overall, any superior will find it easy to request a large number of anti-shipping missiles, no questions asked. Thus is the problem of disloyalty in a system designed around the fact that such an eventuality is impossible.

Specifically, the Kirov-class battlecruiser Devout Whisper, accompanied by a trio of Sovremenny-class destroyers, and two pairs of Kilo-class submarines. Much like the missiles of the surface fleet, the Kilo-class submarines are upgraded with the TA-141 supercavitating torpedo.

The Janissary Corps is here only to raid and pillage, and have no interest in fighting a war or trading with anyone. We are pirates. If heavy opposition is met, operations will either cease, or strength will increase. It all depends on what's more profitable.

My nation is small and has a very green approach to our problems we have a massive stock of alternative fuels From hydro power to Solar energy. We have a very strong economy and our education level is the highest in my region. The very bad situation is that I am in between the two warring factions so I am under constant threat of invasion so I will need help. If I end up loosing I will detonate the Nuke at the core of my capital taking my entire island with me hehe unless you can stop me LOL!!!!

I am currently in the process of gaining a naval base in Mu Cephei that will allow me to sell them our "Green Products" and thus my ships are being raided, thus I am frankly pissed ;).

My military is mostly a defensive one with my Nation surrounded by High-Tech defenses from Lazer defenses to anti-ICBM missiles. These defenses are wide spread and very tough but even they will fall.

For offense we have a small SF Infantry Force :mp5: composed of 30,000 men trained in Demolitions and Guerrilla tactics and they are always followed by a A class hacker whom is used to hack well enemy stuff like computers.

We have a small Navy composed of 4 battleships, 2 Aircraft carriers, and 10 Aegis cruisers.

Our Air force is small with only 20 fighters and 10 Supersonic Aurora Bombers(which are still in testing), and about 100 Advanced Stealth Choppers which are mainly used to provide air support in an invasion.

We will send all 30,000 Troops and we will help out trading ships as best we can by having my small Air Force provide Air support and my Navy will stay behind to protect my seas.

Our greatest weakness is our inability to produce a strong Navy and to provide sufficient air support so we will depend on others for that.

You seem fairly new (having only one post) so I just wanna know if you have read up on the stickies. If so then you can join, if not I ask that you read them so that I can allow you to join. Also, Mu Cephei is strongest in air power (even though the air force is pretty small compared to the Army/Navy) it is by far my most powerful branch in the entire Mu Cephei military next to the elite air borne troopers. So I got you covered in terms of the skies.

This sub has been refitted. The torpedoes and some of the VLS has been removed to make room for Special Forces. My Special Forces will likely carry out an attack on enemy ships in port.

Looks good, just wondering how your going to make contact with me without one of my P-3s dropping a trop on your subs (just for reference) when they get too close to my territorial waters?

Also what does Mt mean :*(

Ok i read some sticky that basically said that I cannot use any real life nation stuff like culture and real life events like the cold war because I am only allowed to use my own nation and so that I should only use my made up nation is that the one I was supposed to read.

All we are sending is maybe six battleships or whatever we can afford. DO the ships with the deisel have any weapons?

No, though the crew are usually armed with at least 3 Magpul Masadas and seven MP7's. As well as four scooters for racing around the deck (these are VERY big ships)

If you want I can rp Mu Cephei having a low supply of fuel and I can have a fleet of ships meet yours'. Then they would escort you to Mu Cephei to transport the goods or do you want to do your own thing?

Sounds good. Crossbar Fuel Company is always looking for new trading partners, and will jump at the opportunity of taking over a Petrol Fuel nation for Bio-Diesel. As for the meeting. Having a couple three cruisers meet them would be good.

My nation is small and has a very green approach to our problems we have a massive stock of alternative fuels From hydro power to Solar energy. We have a very strong economy and our education level is the highest in my region. The very bad situation is that I am in between the two warring factions so I am under constant threat of invasion so I will need help. If I end up loosing I will detonate the Nuke at the core of my capital taking my entire island with me hehe unless you can stop me LOL!!!!

I am currently in the process of gaining a naval base in Mu Cephei that will allow me to sell them our "Green Products" and thus my ships are being raided, thus I am frankly pissed ;).

My military is mostly a defensive one with my Nation surrounded by High-Tech defenses from Lazer defenses to anti-ICBM missiles. These defenses are wide spread and very tough but even they will fall.

For offense we have a small SF Infantry Force :mp5: composed of 30,000 men trained in Demolitions and Guerrilla tactics and they are always followed by a A class hacker whom is used to hack well enemy stuff like computers.

We have a small Navy composed of 4 battleships, 2 Aircraft carriers, and 10 Aegis cruisers.

Our Air force is small with only 20 fighters and 10 Supersonic Aurora Bombers(which are still in testing), and about 100 Advanced Stealth Choppers which are mainly used to provide air support in an invasion.

We will send all 30,000 Troops and we will help out trading ships as best we can by having my small Air Force provide Air support and my Navy will stay behind to protect my seas.

Our greatest weakness is our inability to produce a strong Navy and to provide sufficient air support so we will depend on others for that.

How about I be one of the groups raiding you. Only not to plunder your stuff just to sink you down to the bottom of the ocean. Our reasoning for that would be that "You are a threat to our company by selling and trading such products, people can look at your stuff and see how good it is and then look at us and see how our fossil fuels are horrible and kill the envirorment, and not only that but you are competitors and we kill our compitition."

You didn't even mention the person who posted right above you...

There's more than that, I assure you. Like, for example, me. Also, Griffincrest and Privateer are as likely as not to participate, as I expect the latter was appearing only to oppose Griffincrest, while the former probably did a search for 'fuel' and 'oil' on the forum, and showed up to make sure we remember him.

Another thing, my government (and within it, the Janissaries' masters) is on friendly terms with the Griffincrest Corporation, and would be willing to cooperate for any mutual gain. And on that note, if Mr. White's Janissaries encounter too much trouble here, it would be simple thing to cover up his own paramilitary actions and call in the real navy...

The Star Council of the Blessed Chris deems it worthwhile to dispatch a squadron of cruisers, and two aircraft carriers, to permit monitering of a potentially troubling situation. The force dispatched will be situated in international waters; any overt aggression against Mu Cephai will necessitate an alteration to the brief of extant forces, and the potential mobilisation of further force if needed.

In order to get from the Mainland to the State of scrin you must dock at my Port in New Age Nexus and you must pay a fine for the use of my territorial seas but you will receive:mp5::sniper::gundge: brief protection from my air force until you leave my territorial waters.

The People's Republic of Sapentian isle does not support war but through careful observation it has become apparant that the people of Mu Cephi are indeed disadvantaged by harrasments to their trading capabilities. in light of this the Peoples Army of Sapentian Isle will deploy 200 men and women to stand alongside the allies giving aid to the civilians caught in the middle, we will allow the allies to use our air strips if neccesary but will restrict ourselves to a purely non combat role.

Considering the amount of guys getting involved in this, I think a map should be in order to simplify the geographic understanding of what's going on.

Assuming a map does get created, I'd be perfectly willing to participate; just want to make sure that this doesn't turn into a huge chat mess that becomes practically impossible to keep track of.

If a map is too difficult to draw out or manage, I suggest the OP be edited so relations can be listed and described. This way, we know who's working with who and what the size of everyone's task force is.

For example, colors can be used to define allegiance (to Mu Cephei, Rigel, pirates, or neutral), fonts/ non-alphanumeric characters for support type (offensive, defensive, escort, intel, economic, or diplomatic), and text size for relative strength (larger size = bigger force).

May I also suggest that this RP be linked to our actual countries? The following is an NScalc link which could be found useful for defining actual expenditures and policy bounds: Calc Link (http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php?)

Maps are good, and I don't care how many people join, as long as every singe one doesn't empty his ports to throw the word aircraft carrier into their post. Evidently, an aircraft carrier is the biggest naval penis these tiny nations have to wave, and refuse to be deterred...

Rgr for the smilies and for the part about the island it is merely a suggestion there is no reason why I should get an island just because I want one that is the whole point of an RP is that the one whom started it controls it not the pawn like me so don't get angry over that.

Wow, gone for two days and everything goes to hell...

Okay, first I wish to apologize for my absence. Something unexpectedly came up at school (some animals broke out from the "zoo") and I had to go over there to help out. Yes, this left me with no or little time on the internet since chasing after mice in a 6 story building is very tiring and I still had do my school work, but enough with the excuses.

Now for those who wish to join, because this rp has enough people in it already, I will not allow more people into the rp, sorry. However, if you really want to join send me a TG and I'll think about it. A reason why will help you in getting in.

Also, after reading over the thread I am worried that there is going to be some problems. It appears we have some tension between certain rp'ers so I ask that everyone calm down. We're here to have fun (or at least I am) not to "win." So try to treat each other with respect or at least bite your tongue... Okay maybe your hands since your typing, but I think you guys (girls) get the message.

There will be no map (from me at least). As for I have a computer with no drawing capabilities what so ever (which pisses me off). If someone wishes to draw a map say so and I'll TG you some details of the islands.

Otherwise I'm posting the IC thread now and I wish everyone here the best of luck because you are going to need it!

As long as you don't send a million troops I'm okay with it. If you want to send an army (100,000 troops) or two then its okay. As well as a realistic fleet size as well (once again as long as you don't send a hundred ships I'm okay with it). Also, just because your "bigger" doesn't make you "stronger." :D
