Years ago, when the name Frenzia was uttered, many remembered a nation which stood against incredible tyrants not once, but twice. Although they had only barely avoided the complete destruction of the their nation, Frenzians often boasted about what they had accomplished. Their leader had managed to pull them through all of this, but many did not know of his mental state. To be fair, even he seemed unaware of his strange actions. After the war he became paranoid, brining the nation into isolation, closing the borders to anyone. This only helped to further the problems within Frenzia. Chemical weaponry had been used against farmland which was scarce enough. Riots began, people began to starve. Then he disappeared. He simply vanished, taking nothing. The nation was left in ruin, and although another Council Member was legally eligible for the position, the people decided otherwise. What began as a rebellion divided the nation into warring factions, each worried about their own issues, each with their own beliefs on who should become the next leader. The answer was not simple, like many hundreds of years prior, the island would be divided among smaller groups, independent states. Each state called out for help, in one way or another. Soon, the crisis of this former nation reached the media throughout the world.

Unknown to many, a single nuclear missile silo was nestled, deep within a naturally formed crevice high in the mountains of Frenzia. It was so secret in fact, that only dozens knew of it. One of these dozens was General Blake, a rough and tough egotistical man vying for power. He was going to get it, any way possible. That might explain why he, and another officer were programming the final launch codes and preparing to activate the launch sequence.

Without warning, the crevice shook, not once, but twice, very violently. Above, two F/A-18 aircraft belonging to the DA had just dropped several bombs on the crevice.

Blake swore, working feverishly to get the weapon to fire. He was stopped and knocked to the ground by another strike, this time carried out by another two F/A-18 aircraft. This one was more deadly than the first, slamming into the mountain and sending massive boulders smashing into the silo. Suddenly, the screens went black and the lights flickered.

Blake now knew that his plan had be stopped. He rushed for the exit where a single UH-60 helicopter would extract him, the other officer and several other soldiers.

Overhead, his own factions fighters began dogfighting with the DA aircraft. He could hear the sound of the cannons. As he climbed into the helicopter, the rotors began to churn and he was soon high above the mountain, speedy quickly away from the airborne battle. He swore loudly again as the crevice erupted into a ball of flames. His weapon had not detonated, but it had been buried for sure.

Encrypted Message to the DA

We wish to offer our support to your army, in exchange, we wish to establish a colony (You know the location). We have a naval fleet standing by.

General Howe's Reply
Essentially, it is not my land to give away. Although it is my wish, although it sounds imperialistic, to control the entire nation, it is my belief that this will never happen. If you agree to support us, I agree to ensure that those under my control leave your patch of land alone, furthermore, I will do my best to protect it. We require food foremost, but also soldiers to bolster our defenses. I hope that I may be able to expand, talks with outside warlords have gone good, several may agree to come under my control.

We do not wish to expand beyond our claim. Our troops are on their way, along with plenty of food and weapons and ammunition. A naval fleet will soon be there.

OOC: My next post will show the numbers of troops and other things.

Within 12 hours, the fleet was off the northern coast. Greal troops landed on the beaches, 35,000 of them, along with 500 hundred tanks and plenty of food. More Greal troops were offloaded the next day. Now Greal had a force of 100,000 on the island, they were ready to fight the Worker's Faction.

Although we are reluctant to make agreements especially those that restriction our movements and give up our right to govern, we did plan on eventually holding elections, so giving control to you in return for support, especially foodstuffs, would not be a bad deal. All we ask is that you please make haste.

From:RNP
It is good to hear from another member of Royalty and I accept your terms. I knew in my heart that I would never be able to control the nation, and your offer of land in the future entices me. Many are reluctant to accept my reign, so I am glad to have your assistance.

We are willing to supply you armaments, men, food, supplies, and all items needed for your revolution. All we ask in request is you have a port opened for our ships to arrive, or an airfield to work with. If not then our engineers can make one however that would take precious time.

We will arrive 12 hours after your response.

Excellent. The first load of supplies and reinforcements are expected to arrive within 48 hours. As you are inside territory occupied by enemy forces, these will consist of paratroopers and light equipment. It would be helpful if you could clear an airfield, so heavier equipment can be brought in. You will be provided with assistance in your search for your former leader.

To: Zaheran
While we do not hold any of the former militaries bases, we do have several civilian airfields that can be utilized.

That will do to begin with. As you read this message, supplies and troops are leaving our country. We would appreciate if you could mark out good landing spots for our paratroopers, as their landings probably will be done under the cover of night.

Battles raged throughout Frenzia. Flames could be seen rising from tree tops and bodies raged through what had been once been a peaceful forest.

Forces from the unnamed group pushed into the forest, and found themselves engaged by an unamed group. Luckily,they still managed to deploy their bright green flares, unfortunately,they ha been forced to retreat.

The flares was all the Zaheranians needed. Two hundred black-clad paratroopers jumped out of their airplanes, nearly invisible in the night sky. Landing at the marked site, they rolled into cover, looking for the enemy.

The troops were nearly invisible but the beacons were not. Not only that, bright orange fires also burned, attracting the unwanted company of several factions.

One group, a fanatical bunch of white supremacist rednecks came tearing into the woods, most on ATVs but several driving or riding in generic heavy pickups. The carried mostly hunting weapons such as large rifles,the odd with an AK. Although they appeared threatening, they weren't, so long as those parachuting in were white.

Another smaller group rode in the belly of a converted civilian helicopter. The helicopter had been up armored with different metal plates and riding in the back was a group of six former police officers.

One other group had already rushed its way into the woods, forcing the unnamed group out.

The paratroopers were in for a fight.

Greal troops moved in to secure the new colony and help the DA fight the Worther's faction. Hundreds of tanks and humvees were seen moving into the new colony, now the worker's faction will have a hard time attacking the DA.

Greal troops also secured the DA borders, to prevent the Worker's troops from attacking.

Satellite images began pouring into Orbath's Command Center, some pictures which made the brass somewhat nervous. Although each picture had already been scanned by a massive super computer and logged, nothing beats the human eye. Already they could see that other nations appeared to be advancing on the crumbling nation, and in one case, troops had began landing on the ground.

Although most would have preferred to wait until a naval fleet could be readied, there was simply not time. It would be a few days before an invasion fleet could arrive. Instead, they would have to deploy paratroopers and airborne who, throughout the years, had become quite good at landing in some shit hole with no idea and making it work, much like in the Cripistan conflict where in a matter of days, they had nearly defused and demilitarized an entire peninsula. This time they would have assistance, from people with better training but much less experience. The Royal Orbathian Foreign Legion (ROLF), a group made up of just over six nations, had training which specifically focused around deploying to places like this and providing assistance and security. Not only that, they were language masters, thankfully, the majority of the population was English, so their advanced language skills wouldn't be needed.

In Orbath, whenever situation like this appeared, several units, especially paratroopers were always put on standby. This meant that Orbath had the capacity to land troops very. very rapidly and reinforce them nearly as quickly.

So it was decided,planes from within Orbath, C-130 aircraft to exact were loaded with paratroopers. From other places, some foreign, some within Orbath, ROFL soldiers were loaded and prepared to go. Following shortly after these would be larger C-5 Galaxy aircraft. Using satellite images, Orbathian commanders had pinpointed the locations of several civilian airfields within both terirtories which would be used as landing sites and Forward Operating Bases. As soon as they were landed, secured and deemed safe by paratroops, C-5s could begin landing and offloading their much larger cargo which would include food, and vehicles to be used by Orrbathian soldiers and legionnaires.

In only a few short hours, the planes soared over their respective landing sites, 4 in WA regions and one within RNP regions. They would wait for a larger force before securing their colony lands, as they had not worked out an agreement with the populace yet.

The paratroopers jumped, clad in their digitally camouflaged, infrared resistant uniforms, faces painted green, brown and black, helmets covered in scrim. Many carried the Yanitarian made AY-143 assault rifles which were well crafted, easy to use and very accurate. Both factions had been warned of their arrival, so hopefully, had arrived to greet them.The air was not cold below, but brisk.

Boots began hitting the tarmac, and not too far away, the wheels of several vehicles, Lyran made Foxes, which looked something like Canadian made G-Wagons also touched down, thuding hard against the pavement, covered quickly by an olive drab parachute.

Rapidly soldiers formed up with their units and unattached their vehicles from their parachutes, taking up defense positions and waiting.

The paratroopers were experienced soldiers, most veterans from at least two wars. The landing area was immediately secured, and small exploration parties began to move out quietly into the woods, searching for enemy forces. The white suprematists were detected early, but no aggressive action was taken, the soldiers just keeping an eye on them from a distance. The other group on the other hand, was clearly a threat. From hidden positions snipers began to pick out the leaders, ready to eliminate them if necessary.

The various groups were not very experienced, but they did know the terrain. Many of the men had hidden themselves among the dense pine underbrush or in ditches or behind hills. It was from there they had a clear view of where the paratroopers had landed. Utilizing mostly AKs they began firing at groups which had fanned out into the woods. They took fire too, snipers had begun to take out their leaders one by one. The redneck type group stopped, dismounted and waited, hoping the paratroopers would approach. They appeared annopyed by the helicopter above which had begun to circle, though they unthreateingly had tied white flags to the helicopters skies.

______________________________________________________________________

At the various airfields of the DA and RNP, DA and RNP ''soldiers'' fanned out from the woods and streets which surrounded the airfields. Many carried AKs and large bore hunting rifles. Some held large white flags. They walked out onto the airfields, searched out the commanding officers and spoke quickly.

Before long, the factions,Orbathians and ROLF soldiers were working hand in hand, securing the airfields, and establishing a command center at each. The way was cleared for further help.

The Orbathians with help had prepared the landing sites. Soon, massive C-5 Galaxies began landing, quickly offloading their cargo and taking back off into the brillant blue sky.

Now the airfields had began to fill up. They were full of troops, vehicles, their supplies and of course, food and supplies which would soon be delivered to the people. The ROLF would begin the deliveries, long convoys snaking along the roads which left the airfields. The convoys were made up of Lyran made Fox light vehicles, heavier New True Cross manufactured trucks and even the odd Lyran made Ironheart IFV. Among the relief convoys were '' security convoys.'' They would establish a larger perimeter, wich would include linking together two nearby Forward Operating Bases.

The first step was to deliver medical aid and food. Larger steps such as restoring infastructure wouldn't occur until Orbathian ships arrived, which wouldn't be for another two days.

The enemy's fire wasn't very dangerous. It seemed like the enemy forces consisted of some sort of poorly trained militia, not real soldiers. But there still was casualties, a fact which made the commanding officer very annoyed. He couldn't afford losses this early in the campaign. The major part of the paratroopers digged in while experienced woodsmen and snipers began to take out enemys quietly and from a distance, often trying to sneak up on them, then using their commando knives to cut their throats. It was as psychological warfare, hopefully creating tension and fear among the enemy troops, causing them to do something stupid. Light mortars began to hammer on suspected enemy positions.

Finally deciding that the rednecks was not a threat, three paratroopers stepped out of their forest, having removed the paint from their faces to not appear threatening. They held no weapons in their hands, but their comrades very ready to cover them if things went bad.

It hadn't been long, but already the people of Frenzia had begun to receive the aid they desperately needed. Immediately the people were grateful and later, hopefully they would learn to accept the Orbathians. The Factions were impressed by how quickly the Orbathians had been able to establish themselves and begin operations.
___________________________________________________________

In the forest, a feeling of fear crept over the ''rebels''. One by one, whether by bullet or knife blade, they began to diminish in numbers. Due to poor communication, they couldn't organize an effective retreat. Instead, their ''commander'' blew a whistle and all hell broke loose. Soldiers fired into nothing and began running, as fast as possible, away from the enemy,

Meanwhile the redneck leader stepped forward to shake the paratroopers hand. He had removed his paint, and so the red neck knew the man was white.

''I'm Jim, Jim Smith of the Frenzian White Now group. What brings you here,'' the man asked, spitting chewing tobacco onto the forest floor.

The paratroopers laughted contempously, seeing the enemy turn and run. No one pursued them, the primary objective was already fulfilled. That militia would not bother them anymore. The commander decided that the landing siite would function as a base until they got contact with the group they had come to help. They had been there, the flares proved that. But where had they gone? An exploration party of thirty men were sent out to look for them while the others rested and improved the improvised defences.

The paratrooper took the offered hand. "Jacob Schumann, sergeant in the Imperial Army of the Holy Empire of Zaheran. Me and my mates are here to defend you from the invaders that threatens your freedom".

The exploration party would soon find a group of them, Hiding in a ditch.

''Stop, you there, identify yourselves!''
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
''Good ta know we gots sumone on are side.''

His buddies around him nodded and he leaned on his pick up.

''You gots any food.''

OOC: Anything going to happen on my border?

The paratroopers stopped. A man stepped forward and approached the group. "Captain David Beltzer of the Zaheranian Army", he said in greeting. "Are you the ones that placed out those flares?"

The seageant studied the man carefully, then nodded. "Yes, we do". He opened his rucksack and took out a plastic bag. "Have you eaten MREs before?"

The delivery of aid continued, small convoys stretching out throughout the Worker's and the Royalty faction's territories. Overhead, C-130 aircraft began dropping leaflets onto both the faction's lands and the proposed colony areas, informing them about who Orbath was and what their plans were, including the delivery of aid.

At sea, a naval convoy was steadily approaching the water's of Frenzia, intent on landing a large group of men on shore.

Official Government Message

It is our understanding that you are supporting the Democracy Army and as fellow region mates, we are glad to hear of this. It appears to be a faction with good ideals and does require help. I have decided to support both the Worker's Army and the Royalty Now Party. I have informed both groups that they are not too attack or attempt to expand their borders, so you are relatively safe. As soon as the other Orbathian forces arrive in theater, a proper border, both to keep the DA in, and attackers out will be constructed. Rather than butting heads, perhaps we could become closer allies and join together, ensuring the safety of those that stand for the right ideals within Frenzia.

OOC: I'll get an order of battle for my naval forces up ASAP.

OOC: Sorry Greal.

The sight of foriegn soldiers, and especially convoys of vehicles slightly rattled the population but, once they knew Greal's intentions, they settled, accepting the protection of Greal's military.

The people read the leaflets and now better understood what was going on. Rebel forces worked closely with the Orbathians, guiding them to areas which required the most help and giving them better knowledge of the land.

A message was sent to the DA saying that the Greal army intended to strike at the Worker's army quickly, then invade the land for the DA.

Things had been going quite well for the troops already in Frenzia. So far, the people had accepted them and they had managed to provide basic relief to a fairly good sized area of people made especially easier by the rebel army's support.

Thankfully, the naval task force had just arrived in Frenzian waters which meant that in a matter of hours, more supplies and many more soldiers would be landing. With that many troops on the ground, the borders could be secured and the colony ''softened up''.
