"Admiral Garin," Captain Damien approached the Battlegroup Commander, "We are only a few hours out of range. Soon enough we will be able to engage the enemy proper."

"Excellent," Garin replied contently, "Continue the course with all due haste. We need to arrive there quickly so we can begin the actual offensive. Those poor bastards probably think that we're being bogged down," he chuckled sarcastically. "Once the enemy ships are in range, begin pounding them with the main guns. Deploy anti-shipping missile ordinance in cooperation with the guns and deploy fighters as well as strike bombers to deal with them. We should sweep them aside, no?"

"Absolutely sir, right away." The Captain nodded and stepped away. "All hands ready for imminent combat operations, on standby pending notification." With a chorus of "All hands ready, aye!" the crewmen scrambled about the deck to their respective positions, and waited.

Further ahead, numerous submarines stalked quietly beneath the waves. The wolf pack had already slipped to just outside the port, and now was reviewing the resting enemy ships with care.

"Captain," Lieutenant Junior Grade Alexander Williams stated, "We have the enemy fleet in sight, awaiting orders sir."

"Right, give me targetting solutions for each ship from each of our squadrons. There are twenty Los-Angeles and Ohio class submarines out there, we need all of them to punch out something."

"Absolutely sir, fire on your orders."

"Give it a few minutes. Firing off too early may cost us the initiative. Wait for our fleet to near a bit. Once its close, we can begin the fight by sinking several of their capital ships and perhaps even rout the fleet before this battle's started."

"As you wish sir," The Lieutenant said, bowed his head, and retreated into the Operations room to begin plotting and calculating firing solutions for the enemy targets.

On the land, Field Marshal Grant had already ordered his Intelligence Officer to send the communication to the enemy fleet commander warning him of his peculiar....predicament. With several thousand captives inside the dock yard, that was their gambit to buy time before the Corporate Fleet arrived. Hopefully their commander would not be willing to extinguish civillian lives so readily as the Catili were.

"Attention," The radio broadcast went. "This is Major Forbes of the State Guards." The video broadcast to the enemy would show a pale man standing at six foot five inches, extrodinarily physically fit, and with cold, lifeless eyes which shown no emotions, and no thought save duty. This was a State Guardsman. Officers in the State Guards were given a sight more freedom of thought than their lower ranking brothers. This enabled them to make tactical combat decisions and formulate strategies with which to eliminate the enemies of their state. The Boicoi fleet commander would see millions of such men soon enough. "The Corporate State Guards have taken many thousands of your citizenry....captive. They rest within these dock yards within specialised containment facilities we have provided. They will not be executed, at this time. We have no need to. However, this being said, if you fire on our position here at the dock yard, you're going to have to explain why you kill thousands of your own people to your citizenry, as we shall instantaneously broad cast it on all frequencies across your nation, as well as others. Do so at your own peril." The emotionless voice ceased speaking. He stared into the camera briefly before restarting. "You are advised to simply exist outside of the harbour. Do not attempt to begin fire missions against us. This shall be a most grievous error." With that, the transmission ended.

Slightly further inland, the Catili waited patiently for the brave Boicoi soldiers to make their foolish attack against them. As these poor infantrymen were sighted running straight towards their positions, rifles were aimed, machineguns readied, and the coaxial guns within the various LY4A1 Wolfhound Main Battle Tanks began to chatter away, firing at them as they advanced with the LY64 HMG (14.7mm). LY-219 Infantry Fighting Vehicles utilised their PAK2 25mm Cannons to scan for possible armoured vehicles, which would instantaneously be fired upon by both them and the LY4 tanks, as well as their LY60 (14.7mm and LY64 (7.62mm) machine guns. Infantrymen held fire until the enemy was closer, however once they were thousands of rifles and machineguns would open up against them. This would be a very short advance for the Imperial Guard.

Lieutenant Colonel Harold Moore sat within his LY-219 Command and Control Vehicle right behind the main battle lines which had been established. Within which he could see, upon his sattelite image maps of the area, real time video of the scene from over ahead, and through the camera feeds in the helmets of his junior officers, that all was going well. As a Lieutenant Colonel, a battalion commander in the 4th Motor Rifle Regiment of the 7th Motor-Rifle Division, he was not a "State Guardsmen" in the typical sense. He was in command of a State Guard unit, however men of his class and breeding bought their way into the military and rank, not born into it like the State Guard were.

However this, surprisingly, did not make him an ineffective battlefield commander. He had excelled in the War College back in Catilio at all things tactical and specific to the command of an infantry unit. After graduation he had been posted to this battalion, and had spent the last year in command of it. Now he was in his first combat operation, and while his nerves were running high, he was confident in the superiority of his State Guardsmen. He sat watching the screens alternately, and he simply knew that the enemy would not make any advances on them this day.

The submarines waiting with patience and quietly, were given the orders to open fire. The battlefleet was simply another hour away from being in range, and thus the beginnings of attacking the enemy fleet would better subdue them for the incoming Corporate Forces. Numerous torpedoes were launched at the capital ships and once those were deployed, each ship rose slightly to where they could deploy cruise missiles to hit the enemy ships as well. On this day, the Boicoi 1st Fleet would die.

9:17 A.M., Q3 WK4 FY08
CABINET CHAMBERS, PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE
1 VISI STREET, CAELAPES CITY

"British Londinium has made a return to the international stage after electing a Liberal consul... many former allies have been quick to accept the new Londinian government as legitimate and have restarted trade and diplomatic relations," Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Rylander paused to clear his throat and take a sip of water. He was seated at a large, round mahoghany table, surrounded by other Cabinet-level Ministers and the Prime Minister. After scanning over another piece of paper before him, he continued. "Oh, and this is an interesting situation unfolding in Boico. Earthquake rocks the country, our foreign diplomacy office sends a letter of condolence and some funds. This morning, news broke that Catilio Corporation ships assumed to have been carrying aid workers were actually carrying soldiers who slaughtered dock workers in a brutal assault on the capital city of Creipa."

At this, Prime Minister Marcel Gati held up a hand for silence. He sat with his hands folded for a moment. "You're telling me, Mr. Rylander, that Corporate soldiers slaughtered unarmed civilians at the capital city of a nation which has just been rocked by a natural disaster?"

Rylander scanned over his notes briefly to ensure that no mistake had been made. "Yes, sir. That's what these reports state."

Gati turned to the Minister for Home Defence. "Send a message to Boico. Let them know that we will not stand for an opportunistic invasion and will mobilize the Aeronavy to protect their nation and that, following the cessation of hostilities, we will fully withdraw all troops."

Minister Lafayet clicked a pen and scribbled a note on his legal pad. "It will be done," he said.

To the Esteemed President of Boico:

This letter will be brief, as there is no doubt you are very busy managing the current national security crises.

The Federation of Caelapes would like to extend an emergency offer of defense to your nation. We will mobilize the Aeronavy to respond to the Catili threat upon your nation. Your nation must provide landing zones, be they seaports or airports, so that Caelapene troops can effectively combat Catili soldiers. We are not asking for compensation. We will have soldiers on the ground within the week if you accept.

Operations Room 1, Vetakan Defence Force High Command, New Theeb, Vetaka:

"How Long?" enquired Rising Tiger

"Well the Humanitarian Fleet "North Staffordshire" which is currently 200 Nautical Miles North of the Earthquake Hit Region within Boico could be on station within a maximum of 3 Days" replied Stone whom straightened his Hat

"And the Reports of the Catilio Corporation Mounting an Invasion?" asked Rising Tiger whom now thumbed through a VSIS Intelligence Report regarding the situation.

"Well Intelligence is Sketchy we are currently getting the majority of our Intel from the Media, Passing Ships, Fleeing Civilians and OBSAT Spy Sats. We do have a positive ID of a Fleet of Warships approaching Creipa with Fixed and Rotary Wing Carrier suggesting they intend to put Ground Assualt Assets ashore. We are currently in the process of deploying additional OBSAT Assets and have begun contacting Allied and Boico Regional Nations in regards to procuring further Intel to build a bigger picture" replied Stone

"The Tribal Council deems the Catilio Corporations actions to be dishonourable and wants to aid Boico. As such commit the North Staffordshire Humanitarian Fleet to the Earthquakes Epicentre and additional force. Immediate Options with the Corporation?" asked Rising Tiger whilst thumbing a Foreign Affairs Directorate Report.

"I'd suggest we concentrate the majority of our efforts on Boico if they accept aid that is. An Air Campaign against the Coporations Assets would be an option, Our Long Range Bombers mounted from Mainland, Flanders and Andrews Bases could strike such targets, If the war intensifys we could commit B-22's and B-2 Spirits along with Fighters to project our forces and apply indirect pressure to the Boico Front." spoke Stone

"Brief Admiral Ferns of the North Staffordshire on the situation, Commit what force is required and begin securing Intel for a possible Air Campaign." orderd Rising Tiger as he rose from his feet.

Making his goodbyes he exited the massive Operations Room and proceeded to make his way up from the depths of VDF High Command and out into the glorious sunshine of New Theeb.

Official Tribal Chiefdom of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

OOC: I`m fine with other people joining. CATILIO: I`ve changed the name of the Cyonist Rebel group.

IC:

Maria was in the war bunker, just outside Creipa, Along with the chief ministers. "We have received word from the governments of both Caelapes and Vetaka, they say they wish to help us defend against the Catilio Corporation. Vetaka also states that it wishes to offer us humanitarian aid for the earthquake victims." One of the ministers said.

"And the situation inside the city?"

"Not going so well, we have received word that the Imperial guard sent to the port have been almost completely wiped out. It also seems as though the Catilio Corporation is sending more reinforcements. Much more than the ships currently stationed outside the port can deal with."

Maria sat wondering, was this the end of a free Boico, only around 20 years after they had got rid of the Cyonists.

TO: The Prime Minister and the First Councilor of the Federation of Caelapes

FROM: Maria Zaranzoye, President of The UDFB

We thank you for your offer of support in this terrible time. The best place for your forces to land is at Barae, in the south east of Boico. We greatly appreciate your aid. I thank you.

TO: Supreme Honoured Parceltongue of the Tribal Chiefdom of Vetaka

FROM: Maria Zanzoye, President of the UDFB

We thank you for your offer of support in this terrible time, we also thank you for your offer of Humanitarian aid. We would greatly appreciate a force of some of your soldiers to stop the Catilio Corporation. I thank you.

Carindia Village, West Boico (SIC):

"I now open this meeting of the Cyonist Unity Army. We have all heard the news, Boico`s being invaded again. This can be an oppotunity for us. If we help the Catilio Corporation, the government will be destroyed, then we can either make a deal with the Corporation and take back power at a later state, or when the government`s destroyed we can attack the Corporation and take power back then. We`ll be the rulers of Boico as it should be. What do you think sir ?" The man said

"It is a good plan, but I`m not so sure it will work, however, send a message to the leaders of this Catilio Corporation." The figure said as he rose from his seat. It was the man who was still wanted by the government as a war criminal, the man who had revived Cyonism in the 1980`s. It was 'Chairman' Ozriach.

TO: The The Board of Directors of the Catilio Corporation

FROM: Chairman Ozriach, leader of the CUA and rightful leader of Boico

Greetings to you all, I am offering to help you forces in the invasion of my country. On the understanding that if we win, the Cyonist Government will be placed in charge, of course we will be under your control, but we would have a certain level of self government. I will await your reply.

On board the HIMS Melzadia

Klaxons wailed as the crew of the Melzadia struggled to fight back against the Catilio forces. The ship had been hit by two torpeadoes and was going down. The crew weren`t abandoning it though, as there was no were to go. They would fight on in defense of their family and friends. The large guns on the top of the ship fired round after round of shell fire at the Catilio ships, it was useless, there were far more Catilio ships than there were Boican. The captain had received the message from the Catilio forces at the port, he ignored it, he had been given orders and would carry them out. Every ship in the detachment fleet would fire on the port if needs be. He was doubting doing it though, so many people would be killed, but he reconciled himself knowing, or at least thinking, that the deaths of the people on the port would save the lifes of countless others.

Catilio

04-05-2008, 15:04

OOC: I'm ok with others intervening, it'll be fun! Are you all sure that you're ready to be eliminated though? ;)

...Where'd your sig go eh Boico?

The enemy ships had been exterminated efficiently enough, smoke plumes billowing out over the ocean and oil staining the pristine waters a sickly black. Great fires covered the expanses around the outside of the port from where flames sparked the high oil content of the water, creating a ghastly, hellish look from afar. The fleet closed in. Transport ships docked and began the process of unloading the additional forces into Catilio. Several Indestructable Class Air Carriers closed in as well, as they were both the most important, and most vulnerable part of the invasion fleet. Air units began scrambling into the skies, fighters seeking out enemy fighter and interceptor craft to toy with, putting them…out of commission whilst the bombers just behind began scowering the area seeking their respective strategic objectives. These included enemy airbases to start, following suit with the systematic carpet bombings of the streets of New Ohio. Incendiary bombs crashed into the streets, setting them ablaze with the fires of hell itself, engulfing all in its burning fury.

Artillery batteries began the process of pounding artillery shells into positions which had been identified as containing Boicoi troops around the city, large 155mm white phosphorous shells impacted brilliantly, spreading great white clouds of death. White phosphorous was truly a terrible weapon. As the cloud engulfed the soldiers, inhaling would result in the severing of lung tissue, suffocating the individual while if skin was contaminated, the chemical would burn deeply and thoroughly, functionally “melting” the individual. When orally ingested, the accepted lethal dosage is one milligram per kilogram of body weight. Death was almost assured. These clouds were immense and carried across the battlefield engulfing all in their wake. The II Corps would advance in its awesome wake.

The 8th State Guards Armour Division would be the vanguard this time, taking the spear head. As they left, the general plan was to allow the artillery divisions to pound the enemy into oblivion in concert with the Corporate Air Force, allowing the army to mop up what remained. Field Marshal Frank remained in Creipa at his Corps Command Center, leaving General Mark Matteo would be the commander on the ground. Matteo road along within his Command and Control Vehicle, monitoring progress every step of the way. They would arrive at the enemy’s position momentarily, a force of some five hundred and fifty thousand infantrymen, several thousand LY4 Wolfhound Main Battle Tanks, and numerous other infantry fighting vehicles, APCs, support units, and anti-air-defense artillery units. It was an impressive force. The ball was now in the Boicoi court, and soon enough they would have to be again on the defensive against this massive juggernaught.

The Board of Directors were very pleased by the Cyionists offer of assistance. The response given to them requested they begin guerrilla strikes against Boicoi military infrastructure, sabotaging equipment, striking fuel and munitions depots, and most importantly hitting enemy troop movements and killing as many as they could. The Board assured them that when the Catili emerged victorious, their leadership would find themselves in the new Boicoi Board of Directors, and this was true. The Board did not speak untruthfully on that matter, as they felt that perhaps they would be competent in their execution of the office. And if they were not, they would be, simply enough, replaced, though only time would tell.

OOC: ...Where'd your sig go eh Boico? - Still there isn`t it ? I still see it. Mind you, my computer`s been messing around so...

The ships not sent to Creipa from the 1st Fleet and the entire second fleet were sailing towards Creipa, if they timed it right, they would arrive just as the army and air forces arrived so that the Catilio forces would be attacked from the sea, the air and the ground.

******

The planes were also flying in the skies, almost at their target. The squadrens consisted of 20 large bombers and 30 fighters. Some would attack the ground forces and some would attack the Catilio fleet.

******

The troops from the millitary base just outside Creipa were marching into the city. Their tanks rolled in first, then the heavy infantry then the light infantry. 10 Vibraila helicopters also hovered over them.

The enemy air units wouldn't be an issue. Fighter craft detected them arriving by their radar systems and proceeding to launch ordinance to destroy them from beyond visual range. Hundreds of fighters had been deployed to seek out such groups and so these air units would be annihilated instantaneously through sheer numbers. Anti-Air Defense Artillery waited patiently. They could destroy the enemy now, but with the massive amounts of missile fire being poured onto the enemy air squadrons, that would be a waste of ammunition. If there were any survivors, and the second volley of missile fire did not clear them out, which all knew was simply impossible, then they would consider utilising their AAA and SAM capabilities. The Helicopters were also of little consequence. Infantry units spread out through the city unslung their personal surface-to-air missile systems and began targetting each one. Innumerable missiles took to the skies, seeking out the enemy helicopters. There was no hope for these units. From the battlefleet, cruisemissiles were being deployed against enemy targets inland, including government and military facilities. This would hopefully further cripple the enemies ability to conduct war, allowing for easier annexation and the pacification of the land.

The ground forces being sent would find themselves thrown into a blazing inferno. Armoured units were engaged by the many tanks spread out through the city and infantry units within the buildings ambushed the enemy infantry elements, before fading back into their conceiled positions. Once this attack, hopefully soon to be routed, was done so, the Catili State Guards would mount a counter offensive against the base, assuming that there was anything left of its garrison. The mobilising units would also be harrassed by Catili Corporate Air units, numerous A-195 Rhino Ground Attack Aircraft. These would drop their pay load onto enemy troop, armour, or mechanised formations and continually wear down the enemy force until there was nothing left. Another Boicoi offensive would be broken.

The school bell was about to go, the children were ready to jump up as soon as it did. It was a sunny, warm afternoon and most of the children were looking forward to playing outside their houses or in parks. As the clock turned 2:55 the childrens hopes were shattered. A huge explosion ripped through half the school. The CUA had claimed its first victims for the Catilio Corporation.

******

Leuitenant Brayne could hear screams infront of him, terrible gargling screams. He could see a huge wight cloud gushing towards him. Then he realised what it was. "Get your masks on! get your masks on!" He shouted. But for many, it was too late. Even if they did get them on, many had exposed skin and so were burned terribly, many to death. The planes overhead were battling with the Catilio planes. And there was still no sign of the fleets.

Operations Room 1, Vetakan Defence Force High Command, New Theeb, Vetaka:

"OK I understand, Good Bye Sir" replied Stone as he put the phone down.

He sighed and turned to face the room he raised his hands and shouted over the hustle and bustle of the Operations Room:

"Alright, Ladies and Gentleman listen up as of now we are officially at War as a result we are as of now at Defensive Condition 3. Officer of the Watch initiate Boico Protocol 2"

"Aye Sir" came a reply from across the room.

With that the room's activity intensified somewhat a wall mounted sign flashed and displayed "Defensive Condition 3". Stone sat down and proceeded to sign a number of forms known titled "Boico Strategic Orders".

96 Nautical Miles North of Earthquake Hit Region of Boico, Vetakan Defence Force Naval Ship (VDFNS) Buxton, Flagship of Vetakan Defence Force Humanitarian Logistics Fleet "North Staffordshire":

The VDF Humanitarian Logistics Fleet "North Staffordshire" was at a state of High Alert as it approached the Earthquake hit region. The Fleet was in a tight defensive formation its Fighter Escort Wing flying a constant patrol around the fleet. The Vetakan Nation was at a state of warfare with the Catilio Corporation as a result the Humanitarian Fleet was an easy target for possible attack.

Within a few more hours their Helicopter Carriers would be in range to begin the task of dispatching medical teams, engineers, troops to provide security and search and rescue units. Hopefully the Boico Forces would be able to hold the enemy until the main Vetakan battle force could arrive.

Atlantic Ocean, Vetakan Defence Force Naval Ship (VDFNS) Christine Fredich, Flagship of the Vetakan Defence Force 3rd Battle-group:

"Sir Incoming Communication from the Admiralty. Code Red Priority 1" spoke the XO from across the Operations Room.

Supreme Admiral Daniel Benson nodded as he read the communication on a tablet PC. Sighing as he spoke to the room:

"Its Official Ladies and Gentleman we are now at War with the Catilio Communication and we are now being deployed to force them to withdraw. 6th Battle-group has been mobilised and will arrive within 3 weeks. Our Orders are to force the Catilio to withdraw at all costs."

Their came a number of faint mumbles before the Admiral smiled and spoke:

"Lets Go to Work"

Vetakan Defence Force Military Base (VDFMB) La Roca, La Roca, South West Vetaka:

"Right Ladies and Gents within a few hours the Foreign Directorate will of delivered a declaration of war to the Catilio. However in order to show them we are serious command wants us to shove a few firecrackers up their ass. So we are to drop a few big bombs on their fleets within Boico. 25th and 26th LRS is to proceed and engage their Carriers with the Falling Hammers. Questions?" asked the Wing Commander as he stood in front of a HD Screen.

"Nah" came a number of replies.

"Alright Go to Work People" barked the Wing Commander.

With that the Pilots, WSOP's and General Flight Crew proceeded to their massive Long Range Bombers. They would be flying the massive Type 1000 and B-74 Shadowcasters Orbital Bombers armed with the Falling Hammer free fall bomb and the Fenix Anti Shipping Missile. Within a mere 5 or 6 hours the Vetakan Air Force would be able to strike the Invasion Fleet.

Catilio

04-05-2008, 17:22

They were quite right to expect the Catili Forces to engage the Humanitarian ships. Nothing would be allowed to support the Boicoi Forces or its population. Cartagena Class SSNs stalked quietly beneath the waves, watching the enemy shipping. The Wolf-Pack commander mused to himself, such easy targets. Too easy actually. He couldn't really say he would have any reserve sending them to the bottom, but he almost wished for a great challenge. The air units which the Vetakans were having as escorts would be eliminated quickly by the F-124 "Bullwhip" Air Superiority Fighters. They would attempt to remove as many of the threats from beyond visual range, firing box after box of AIM-356A "Starkiller" Advanced Long Range Air-to-Air Missiles. The enemy escorts had little hope of survival. As torpedoes were deployed from below, the many submarines slipped away back into the depths, trusting in their systems to correctly guide their ordinance home for the kill. The problem of the enemy long range strategic bombers was really not a problem in itself. They would be just as easily felled by the air superiority fighters. However if their ordinance was deployed the Catili Anti-Missile Defense Systems would have to work up to standard to protect them. Their respective ship captains knew they would perform amiably, but there was, of course, that small sense of nervousness within each commander. Regardless, the Vetakans would not fell a single Catili vessel.

Once the actual enemy battlefleet arrived, it would be intercepted by the Catili Fleet. They wanted the enemy to come to them however, and once the enemies precise destination was calculated, the assault would begin. Perhaps sending an entire battlegroup to the bottom of the ocean would disuade any further impediments to Catilio Corporation interests within Boico.

Just after the Castillo Response, the Colstream Government Diplomatic Ministry Moved into action.

To Castillo:

We regret your decision due the fact that we wish to help you with your problems. Could you tell us what your misgivings are to Boico. We don't want to kill Castillo soldiers or innocent civilians needlessly which is not what we want. Especially becuase most of our ICBMs and Long Range Missiles are either Nuclear or Thermonuclear which we won't use as you have none of your own to retaliate with yet. Plus also we would blow up all of Boicos Capital in the fireball that followed. This is a final appeal to reason with us. We wait for your response. The Republic Of Colstream wishes to resolve this problem quickly and with limited casualties.

Elements of the First Fleet sat in port, small waves lapping lazily against the hulls as the first fingers of light began to filter over the horizon.

OOC: I don't have time at this moment to make a response, but I would like to make a somewhat selfish request....could we make this closed to further combatants? I know thats kind of a dick move, but so far its myself alone, vs Boico, Vetaka, Oily Prata, Colstream, and Caelapes. I feel that those are good, fair, even odds, as you all have approximately 8 billion people all together to my six. Obviously Boico is the one being invaded so he has the right to decide to accept or not, I just wish to request that any further involvements (save those who have already requested) be simply statements of displeasure or whatever until we've decided. :)

We thank you for your offer of support. The best place to land your troops is in the harbour city of Guidino (OOC: Not on my map by the way), just south of Creipa. Or if you are landing by plane, the best place would be just outside Creipa, so that we can stop them advancing any further into Boico.

Remainder of the 1st Fleet and the 2nd Fleet:

Admiral Variganu was prepared this time. Not only were there some of the strongest ships in the Boicoan navy, but also the most up-to-date submarines. The aircraft carrier Naurasia had signalled all pilots to their planes. The submarines moved miles infront of the fleet. Ready to cause havoc with the Catilio fleet.

******

The forces inside Creipa were almost defeated, but they still fought on. Knowing that their deaths might save there family or others in Boico, that was enough. Of course some ran, but the majority carried on fighting.

The battle in Creipa was wearing down. The enemy forces had been for the most part routed, though there were some fool-hardy partisans still resisting Corporate control. The State Guards began the offensive, seeking out these recalcitrant Boicoi and slaughtering them without mercy.

Lieutenant Colonel Harold Moore watched as Corporate tanks fired shell after shell at Boicoi armoured units defending the streets of New Ohio. Many Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) delivered their horrific payload, hundreds of small twenty millimeter missiles launched within seconds, detonated with fierce explosions throughout the city, while artillery batteries pounded the city-scape igniting brilliant explosions, and creating a black overhaze of smoke and flame.

"Advance the battalion!" He ordered, and his Motor-Rifle Regiment to dismount their respective Infantry Fighting Vehicles and APCs, and move under their protection into the city. His LY4 MBTs moved at the head of the line, forcing their way into the city by force. Their gun-tubes barked harshly with the recoil of fire, and heavy coaxial machine guns tore the defenders to pulpy shreds. The superior Corporate Aircraft continued their annihilation of the enemy air force over head, and he watched with pride as Catili aircraft fell to earth in blazing heaps of twisted metal. He looked on his Command and Control Vehicle Strategic Map, and watched the Corporate I Corps advance along the coast to New Miami, seeking to eliminate yet another enemy city. The small harbour which was apparantly along the way would have to be secured as well, and a Motor-Rifle Regiment would maintain garrison at that position. The Cyionist Guerrillas were now recieving orders directly from the Board of Directors, ordering that they begin striking the enemy Naval Yards and preventing further attacks by the enemy navy. He smiled, the war could not be going any better.

His State Guardsmen advanced slowly, rifles at the ready, delivering short controlled bursts of fire as they carefully moved down the sidewalks. They hugged the building sides, taking cover as enemy troops popped from around corners firing wildly. These foolish men were dealed with harshly, killed, and then ignored as the Corporate Forces moved deeper into the city. Light Attack Helicopters flew overhead as well, seeking Boicoi positions inside buildings and blasting them out with 20mm Rockets and miniguns, as well as knocking out light armoured vehicles and tanks. It was hoped that within the hour, this city too would fall.

At sea, the enemy navy would be sadly mistaken if they hoped for an easy victory. Numerous Elusive, Kristík, and Establías class Battleships (BB), Feathermore Super Dreadnoughts, Argentine Class Galleon Anti-Super Dreadnoughts, Illium class Guided Missile Destroyer[DDGN], Carranzei class Heavy Missile Guided Cruiser, Tenacious Class Cruiser, Nuclear Powered [CN] Morsky-Orol Light Cruiser, Nuclear Powered [CLN] Paramount class Air Defense Vessel [ADV], as well as, Ingerier class Battlecruiser [BCN], Taníat class Anti-Aircraft Warfare Battle Cruiser [BCGN], Grospek class Heavy Guided Battle Cruiser [BCGN]. These ships were the pride of the Catilio Corporate Marine, and some of the finest shipping classes in the world. No matter what the Boicoi, Colstream, or the Vetakans managed to throw against the Corporate Battle Fleet, they would be savagely defeated by sheer superior fire power and out classing. The Corporate Marine was waiting for them around the capital city's port, patiently. The the enemy fighters were being monitored by the RADAR systems, and interceptors were deployed against them to thin their numbers from beyond visual range. Should any survive, they'd be finished off by F-124 Bullwhip Air Superiority Fighters, also firing missiles but with the capability to utilise their guns in dog fighting. Air Defense Battlecruisers readied their anti-air defense mechanisms should the enemy get in too close. There would be no Catili defeat this day, or ever for that matter. Admiral Garin was confident in this.

Ashland Military Base: 15:00 Hours Colstream Time.

The Advance Forces began to embark. These forces were mainly units straight from the front in Moriabia, another conflict zone. They were well rested and was eager to face another adversary which would be more powerful than the Moriabians.

Meanwhile over Boico 25 miles west of Creipa 3 C-141 Starlifters dropped their load of 10 Paratroops of the Colstream Special Forces onto landing zones scouted by 2 Pathfinder Patrols earlier that evening. The C-141s quickly climbed to 40,000 Feet to avoid the air patrols which were active over Creipa.

They carried the M16A2 Assualt Rifle rather than the Colstream Army M4A1 Assualt Rifle because of its lower rate of fire helping the person holding it a better aim. This was also by choice of all the Special Forces Soldiers because of also its ability to resist dirt.

They started to make their way into the western outskirts of Creipa to scout the MLRS positions for a Tomahawk Missile Strike the following morning. If they were compromised they would move out of the city and leave the area on the C-141s waiting further west.

These aircraft were flying right beside the Catili Fleet, and thus were obviously spotted by Radar systems. Perhaps if they had not been flying so high their signatures would not have been so easily noticed, though that is extremely unlikely. Air Defense Battlecruisers began firing numerous missiles and anti-air ordinance against the aircraft hoping to eliminate them quickly. Interceptor craft were diverted from the attack on Boicoi fighter craft to fire some ordinance against these craft, quickly ending the threat and then returning to their original objective task at hand. Who ever had given them the go ahead to land in that position had made a grave error. Not only was the area a hot bed of Corporate Air Power, I Corps was barreling down onto the area with five hundred thousand troops and thousands of tanks, Infantry Fighting Vhicles, Armoured Personnel Carriers, and artillery batteries, towed and self-propelled. Should any paratroopers manage to land, they would soon be overwhelmed by the Corporate Army, as well as harrassed mercilessly by Ground Attack aircraft. Their pursuit of the MLRS positions would be in vain, as it was in another "state" of Boico, following behind II Corps with the assault on New Ohio, and another Corps of Corporate units lay between them anyhow.

EDIT:

OOC: You do realise that the M-16 has absolutely no ability to resist dirt, right? Its among the most jam prone weapons ever created. The M4 Carbine is typically the choice of special forces operators because its smaller, more compact, and can be utilised better in close quarters. Just a thought ;)

OOC: No time for an IC post but Catilio, I`m a bit concerned that your forces don`t seem to be taking any losses. Granted they may outnumber some of our forces but they`d still take some losses. I`m not trying to get at you or anything like that, just that at the moment it isn`t seeming very realistic.

They are. I don't record them onto posts because your attacks aren't really stopping them, yet. There ARE casualties, a machine gunner gets lucky, a sniper takes out a Guardsman, small unit level yeah I'm taking casualties of course. However I tend to record tactical information, larger strategic level information, and when I'm being routed I accept it. However there hasn't been an extremely effective attack against me yet. Advice: Try having a divisonal defense inside new Ohio, lets say you've got some kind of fortress inside and theres 10,000 men. Make it into an interesting siege and you'll see difficulty there and I'll record losses. And thanks for calling me out on that, I was actually just thinking about it myself before you posted. This is just the way I've always been, and I've been RPing since 2005 with various puppets.

OOC: But the US Marines and the SAS use it and they don't have problems with them. The Colstream Special Forces have a ritual of keeping them clean between battles. Anyway.....

The C-141s were shot down by the intercepting fighters. Worse still, the Soldiers heading into Creipas was suddenly atatcked by very strong forces. They fell into defensive positions and fought back...

OOC: Lets have a little fun with these guys, ever read Hill 488? Lets have them do that sort of thing...and as for the weapons of the USSF and the 22nd SAS yes, they DO use them, and have tons of problems with them. Trust me I've known blokes in both outfits. Anyway it doesn't matter, I was just messing with you. ;)

IC:

"Field Marshal," the Major reported calmly. He was a State Guardsman, no emotion was possible. "We have come across several teams of Colstream Special Operations units. They're dug in in a forest around the port town several miles south and west of here."

"Thank you Major," He nodded. He had been in Boico for less than a day and his operation had already encountered an unusual speed bump. "That really isn't of much concern to me, have some battalion commander divert a company to eliminate them."

"Yes sir," The State Guardsmen retreated to his Radio-Telephone Operator to relay the orders. Lieutenant Colonel Briggs, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 4th Motor-Rifle Regiment was given the buck. He decided that second company would have this "Honour" and hopefully could eliminate the threat relatively quickly.

The company advanced. Two hundred dismounted State Guards infantrymen moved with their respective platoons to the area where the Colstream Special Forces troops were located. Their Captain, Company Commander Unit 751-002-922, ordered the four respective platoons to ready themselves for immediate contact. He scanned the terrain before him, facing into the setting sun. He squinted and ignored it. The trees would conceal the enemy, and the surely would've had at least a moment to dig in and organise themselves to defend until the last, exactly what he promised to deliver to them. If his company failed then the heavy artillery would finish them off, but still yet those assets need not be focused on such trivialities as a few dozen men.

"First Platoon move into the woods, Second take right flank and third take the left. Fourth Platoon, you've got the rear guard. Move out." With that, the company moved into the area where the enemy was known to be located, and began the search. Those special operations men were doomed, however perhaps they could tie down as much as an entire Motor Rifle Regiment if they fought hard and were not felled quickly. The failed drop could potentially turn into an advantageous point of attrition if exploited well....

Colstream

05-05-2008, 16:47

The drop had failed. The Colstream SP Team had heard and seen their only ticket out blow up above them. Now they heard the sound of vehicles. The Commander of the group "Mike" spoke. "Break out the LAW 66s and 51mm Mortars. Time to surprise them."

96 Nautical Miles North of Earthquake Hit Region of Boico, Vetakan Defence Force Naval Ship (VDFNS) Buxton, Flagship of Vetakan Defence Force Humanitarian Logistics Fleet "North Staffordshire":

“Sir Multiple Hits in the Air and Sub Surface” spoke the XO from across the Bridge

“Red Alert! Battle-stations” replied the Admiral whom looked down at a nearby Radar Screen

“Comms. Send a Code Red Priority 1 Message to the Admiralty. Tell them we are about to engage the enemy. Request a Thor Strike on the Enemy Fleet. XO have the Humanitarian Fleet abort the mission and head north tell them to flee to Green Hawk and await orders from the Admiralty. Officer of the Watch bring us to Attack Formation and Advance on the enemy, begin ASW Operations. Ladies and Gentleman I will be honest the chances of survival are minimal but you wouldn’t be here if you were not prepared for that. Lets show em what they face” spoke the Admiral coolly.

Their was a few nods but it was true the, Vetakans where famous for their Loyalty to the mission and it was one of the reasons why they where known as the Forces of Loyalty. With that the Humanitarian Ships arced away heading North away from the battle if the Catili engaged the white bodied ships they would be without honour and would be internationally condemned by the World Community. The Small Vetakan Fleet powered forwards towards the enemy the suspected submarines ahead of them Lynx Anti Submarine Helicopters proceeded to take off. High above Vetakan FA-15 Cardinals and FA-16 Priests thundered in formation towards the enemy air forces. The Vetakans where heavily outnumbered and would lose the battle but the Catili were about to see the Power of the Vetakan Defence Forces and why the VDF was a force well respected force.

Back on the Bridge of the Buxton the Admiral smiled and looked over at his XO:

“Are we in Khan Range of the Main Enemy Fleet?”

The XO smiled and nodded:

“Aye Sir, We have Lock Up. Admiralty reports that Thor Strike is a Go and is planned prior to LRS Attack”

“Do it! Fire. Authorization 01983” barked the Admiral

With that the Fleet launched its Khan Strategic Long Range Anti Shipping Missiles as the Firing Klaxons sounded. The massive missiles burst out of their firing tubes and roared into the air. Within a few minutes they would hit their targets and hopefully sink as many of them as possible. The Khans where been targeted not against the enemies Carriers or Battleships but against her Air Defence Ships and would hit targets before the Bombers arrived on scene. That done they roared forward ready to attack and engage the enemy hopefully forcing them to retreat and concentrate on Capital Operations around Crepia.

Operations Room, OBSAT Space Command, Rogers Mountain Range, Classified Location, Vetaka:

“Yes Sir, I understand” spoke OBSAT Commander Davidan as he put the Red Phone down.

The Commander paced slightly before speaking

“Authorization is Green. Code 0016678. Do we have a go?” asked the Commander

“0-0-1-6-6-7-8 is my read our correct Sir?” shouted up a young Captain from behind a monitor

“Read out is Correct” replied the Commander

“Confirmed. Thor Platform Tango Alpha 75 and Thor Platform Tango Alpha 76 are in Geo-Stationary Firing Orbit. Data Stream is Stable. Targeting is Locked. Firing Sequence is Counting 1 Minute” replied the Captain

“Good” spoke the Commander.

“Khan’s are away from the Fleet. Khans are on Target.” spoke the young Captain

“Thor Away” spoke the Commander.

With that the Catili fleet would start to read multiple radar hits from directly above them, this was because OBSAT Space Command had just unleashed a total of 32 “God Rods”. Unlike other God Rods that where weaker against moving targets these God Rods had been unleashed slightly ahead of the enemy fleet and where fitted with small retro rockets so they could manoeuvre towards the target effectively receiving targeting updates from its Launch and OBSAT Targeting Assets. Along with the Khan Strike and Falling Hammers the Vetakans would hopefully send a strong message to the Catili that Vetaka was stronger than it let on.

Orbital Altitude Approaching Catili Battle Fleet…..

“Targets Bearing 020. Targets Locked. TV Confirm?” spoke the WSOP from his station.

“Confirmed Targets bearing 020. TV Confirm. Data Stream is Stable. Final Authorization Requested?” spoke the Pilot

“Confirmed 0165897. Khan Strike is a Hit. Thor Strike is a Hit. Standby to Release 5 Seconds” replied the WSOP

“2 Seconds, Standby”
The WSOP hit another button before he spoke again:

“Firing, Munitions Away”

With that the 30 Type 1000’s released their 4 Falling Hammer devices in preset strike patterns against the Enemy Fleet. At the same time the 20 B-74 Shadowcasters launched their 24 Fenix Missiles each, the Vetakan designed Anti Shipping Missiles descended at speed targeted against the enemy Air Defence Ships and Anti Submarine Ships. If the Vetakans could destroy the enemies Air Defence and Anti Submarine Ships before the main fleet arrive they would secure a major advantage over the enemy.

As a result the Vetakan Admiralty sent a request to Boico and Colstream asking them to concentrate fire on the Catili Escort Combatants hopefully knocking them out so that the Vetakan Navy could really screw the enemy over.

Admiral Garin paced about the command bridge of his ship the CS Domination, an Indestructible class Carrier. Crewmen fidgeted nervously about the deck, a titanic battle was coming and they knew many would not live to see its conclusion. He looked out into the sea, and knew that somewhere, out there, a Vetakan Battle group, consisting of inferior shipping classes though formidable nonetheless. He grinned, should he annihilate this group to the last man, Corporate victory in Boico was assured. No reinforcements would likely be sent should the initial effort be shown to be in vain, then perhaps the other nations involved would pull out. It was irrelevant really, all men they sent would die. But still the effort cost money, and the Board of Directors wanted these…conflicts…solved with as little unforeseen expense as possible.

Suddenly the Operations Officer sprinted into the Bridge yelling, “The Vetakans are deploying a small group of Naval Strike bombers to our position!”

“Right,” he said turning to face his crew, away from the ocean. “Scramble the air wings. I want interceptors to engage those bomber craft. Destroy them. Then have our fighters patrol the airspace and ensure that no other fighter or bomber craft penetrate our airspace. It was then that outside the window the crew looked in horror as the God Rods fell into the sea. Some struck home, landing upon several battle cruisers, overturning a destroyer, as well as an Argentine Class Galleon. Garin stared in disbelief, for this was a mistake unlike any which the Vetakans could have possibly done. “Mr. Benson?” He requested.

“Yes?” The Tactical Officer asked, nervously, his eyes watering from the fear of the sight he had born witness to.

“Request the Department of war to…take care of those God Rods. Make sure that it never occurs again.”

“Right away, Admiral.” With that he requested on the radio that they receive support against such occurrences. It would be so. Anti-Satellite warfare sites across the nation opened fire upon Thor Station, with nuclear silos waiting in reserve. The station would be destroyed by hundreds of missiles crashing into all possible God-Rodding facilities. Immediately the Board created a message to the Government of Vetaka concering this attack. It read simply:

“Never make an attack of this sort again against Catili targets. Doing so would be a most grievous error. Tread carefully.”

With that, the Admiral continued his rounds just as the missile defense turrets began sputtering wildly. The Khans were soaring in quickly, some were destroyed but several would manage to get through the defensive barrier. Two air-defense cruisers exploded brilliantly against the sea, the water turning a harsh black from the oil leaking into the ocean. A third rocked harshly against the ocean, fire raging from its bow. Men scrambled about the deck saving the wounded and working furiously the put out the fires. It was then that the Guided Missile Cruisers began firing their own ordinance supported by the Super Dreadnoughts, Galleons, battleships, as well as the battle cruiser’s respective main guns. The Air Defense Cruisers that were still active scanned the air for possible threats to battle fleet security. The massive main guns on each ship barked with noise emitted from hell itself. Nothing would survive the Catili onslaught. Garin would make sure of that.

****

Flying his F-124 Bullwhip Air Superiority Fighter, Lieutenant Commander Chris Clarke looked to each side to make sure each of his wingmen were beside him. “Right boys, it’s time to collect our pay.” He grinned inside his cockpit, flipping the safety cover of his missile launch button up, revealing the bright red button which would deploy his armament of death. “Those sons of bitches are about fifty miles out. Easy shot. Fire two each, the other teams will do the same and we’ll kick these Vetakan bastards to hell and gone. Only about thirty of ‘em so they’ll die fast.”

“Like the sound of that man,” his right wingman laughed. “Fire and forget, Box One away.” With that all pressed their buttons and the AAM.176 BVRAAM (Beyond Visual Range Anti-Air Missile) deployed beneath their wings. At first, the aircraft sped ahead of the ordinance they’d just deployed, but as soon as the rocket in the rear of the missiles activated, the two missiles hissed forward with unprecedented speed, soaring unstoppably at the Vetakan bombers. Within seconds the group would be eradicated, and then the group would reassert itself as an air patrol unit, ensuring that their airspace remained uncompromised whilst the ships and naval strike bombers finished the job. The oppositions fighters would have to be dealt with, of course, but for the moment those bombers and their respective escorts were the only targets of concern at the moment.

The soldiers in New Ohio were almost ready for the Catilio attack. They had fortified most of themselfs in Fort Marliaad, while other were still laying down mines, outside the city centre. There were hardly enough mines, but enough to cause some casualties. So now the soldiers waited, they waited for the sound of war.

The planes of the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Wing Divisions were preparing to launch. Along with the many new bombers, there were also some of Boico`s best fighters. We blow them to the bottom of the sea, the pilots thought. "Revenge for the Melzadia!" they chanted, even as the planes began to lift off.

Colstream

06-05-2008, 18:24

The Colstream Special Forces group now waited for the Catillo attack. They had managed to dig in and make strong defensive positions. They had also brought with them 4 5.56mm FN Minimi Machine Guns which were placed on each flank and in the centre covering every arc of fire possible. The LAW 66s and 51mm Mortars also were placed in good positions so to provide a large killing zone for the Catillo Forces approaching them.

Meanwhile, more Colstream Special Forces arrived, this time by sea in a Fishing Boat near a fishing village 50 miles from Creipas. They were well away from the fighting and was setting up high encripted radio equipment which they had brought with them direct from the Colstream Mainland. This was to communicate with the trapped Colstream Special Forces near Creipas and tell them that the Colstream Fleet was almost near Boico.

Orbital Altitude Above Catili Battle Fleet…..

“All Bombs and Missiles have been exercised, Looks like we pissed them off, they are climbing” spoke the Pilot of the lead Bomber

The Wing Commander a man by the name of Harper nodded and switched his radio to the Open Encrypted Allied Band:

“This is Bear 1 all Aircraft evasive manoeuvres regroup at fall back position Zero Alpha. Sqaudron Leaders take point. Remember your training and your countermeasures Go Go Go”

With that Bear 1 rose higher still pushing to its ceiling height of 68,000 feet executing what evasive actions it could. The Catili Fighters couldn’t reach the height of the bombers and their afterburners couldn’t maintain the speed along with their fuel capacities if the bombers could keep moving ditching the fighters wouldn’t be to hard. As the bombers arced away flares fired and other countermeasures burst into action a number of the bombers where hit and some went down but that was all part of the Job for the Forces of Loyalty.

You have not heard the stories of the Vetakans being a race of Peaceful Warriors.

Your threats will not scare the Vetakan Chiefdom and they will not scare the Vetakan Defence Forces. Any action or force you make will be responded to with equal and if required greater force. This nation has dealt with nations such as yours before and I have one piece of advice for you “Stand Down, Accept Peace, Not Surrender, Save your money for Vetaka will not Stand Down”

If you continue your current course of action it will cost you Billions if not Trillions in costs. Is Boico really worth such finance?

“Hmmm some what of an Overkill Response, Are all Other Assets out?” enquired the Commander

“All other Assets are Out, Data Stream is Lockdown and Stable. Orders?” replied the Captain

“Engage Countermeasures and Evasive Pattern Alpha 12 but ultimately consider it a Strategic Sacrifce” responded the Commander

“Sir” replied the nodding Captain

With that the two now empty Thor Platfoms engaged their Countermeasure Systems and fired Retro Rockets attempting to flee the onslaught of missiles in an evasive pattern but ultimately the Platforms where hit and destroyed. However the platforms where empty and up for replacement anyway so it wasn’t to much of a loss.

Approaching Catili Strike Group, Vetakan Defence Force Naval Ship (VDFNS) Buxton, Flagship of Vetakan Defence Force Humanitarian Logistics Fleet "North Staffordshire":

The small carrier group had taken a battering from the enemy it had lost multiple ships and massive amounts of air power. They all knew their mission was a suicide mission but they all remembered and chanted their Oath of Loyalty together in unison its Admiral grinned this was the moment he had dreamed of for years. He snatched up a microphone and flicked to the open comm link. Hopefully the Catili would hear him:

“Attention all Assets this VDFNS Buxton, You all know the drill Ladies and Gentleman, This is the moment we have lived for, This is what it is to be a Vetakan, For Honour, For Glory, For Peace, For Diversity. All Assets Honour Protocol if you please. Attention Catili Admiral no hard feelings my friends we all pawns in a sick game of chess. I suggest you abandon this mission for the Honoured 3rd Battle Group approaches and like us they Bow to No Men But We Bow To You. For those of you whom survive thank your god and leave. For those whom perish we shall greet you on the other side and share a drink. Bonne Chance”

With the Admiral turned to face his Bridge Staff most of them injuryed all of them chanting:

“Engage Honour Protocol”

With that the remaining ships in the fleet fired all remaining Missiles and Torpedoes, they sped to full speed and approached the Catili once in range they would enage the enemy with the Naval Artillery. They would keep sailing and if it came to it ram the enemy the Catili would witness the Forces of Loyalty in action.

1,000 Kilometres from Boico, Vetakan Defence Force Naval Ship (VDFNS) Christine Fredich, Flagship of the Vetakan Defence Force 3rd Battlegroup:

As the heroic last stand of the “North Staffordshire” played out live across the 3rd Battlegroup via OBSAT Spy Satellite. The massive Vetakan Naval Fleet fell silent of the hum of conservation and radio chatter a single tear ran down the faces of the men and women. The tradition of a White Phoenix Warrior they all chatted the Oath of Loyalty. Whilst they all felt sorrow and sadness for their fallen brethren they all also felt a tremendously proud of their comrades for their actions. The Catili would destroy them but they would also see the power of the Vetakans whom maybe not be the strongest or biggest of races but where most certainly one of most the passionate and capable.

Supreme Admiral Daniel Benson took up his mircophone and uttered the simple words to his fleet:

“May they pass with honour, let us ensure their sacrifice is remembered”

Could I get an ORBAT on your deployed fleet to Boico?

Boico:

Can you tell me how far inland Catili has penertrated with Ground Forces so I can plan where to land my own Ground Forces? Also what if any Naval Assets do you have?

Colstream:

Can I get an ORBAT on your Navy if its still inbound? Can I get an ORBAT on what you have on the ground within Boico?

To Vetaka

LEVEL 10 ENCRIPTION-BLACK LEVEL

Here is my ORBAT:

Colstream Navy:

10 Destroyers
8 Cruisers
12 Transport Ships*
150 Landing Craft*
5 "Black Viper" Class Submarines

*Not yet able to deploy, fleet is inbound, will take 24 hours due to rough weather. Will have to rely on our air support until ground units arrive

Colstream Special Forces:

80 Soldiers

30 of them are surrounded by enemy troops but are heavily armed. Evac plan is being formulated.
The other 50 are 50 miles away from Creipas communicating to the trapped 30 soldiers through a Level 10 Encripted radio link informing them of the rescue attempt and the impending arrival of our fleet and yours.
That is what we have in theatre so far. The Colstream Army is yet to deploy. A conflict has ended so we will have around 1 Million Men in reserve which around 300,000 is of good fighting shape which is now on the way.

OOC: Don't know- just probally Catilio has forgotten to post and it has fallen from the top of the forum. It just needs more regular posts and it should be ok.

I've been watching this, so here's my spam;

Hi again Boico, shame that thing with Koenwitz didn't work out, it was a nice RP with good potential.

Colstream, you never seem to tell your alliance or your friends when you're having a scrap...not that we'd neccessarily intervene, but HT always has his youtube links and then there's Gres and Mal with their spam...

Boico Waters South East of Catilio Naval Fleet, Vetakan Defence Force Naval Ship (VDFNS) Christine Fredich, Flagship of the Vetakan Defence Force 3rd Battlegroup:

"Sir we have entered the theatre". spoke the XO over the organised chaos of the Operations Room.

The Admiral nodded and hit a button on his PDA, speaking into his headset his voice was beamed not only across the massive Carrier but across the massive Naval Fleet he commanded:

"Amber Alert, General Quarters, Baggage to the Rear"

With that the massive flotilla of ships winced to coiled themselves into a tense state of readiness as they neared the enemy. As the Main Naval Battle Arm sped up slightly the Battlegroups Ground Assualt & Logistical Arm began to slow. Happy his fleet was ready for combat the Admiral nodded at his communications officer whom sent a pre-recorded message of the Admiral to the Catilio Admiral on an open frequency:

"Attention!!! Attention Catilio Admiral!!! By order of the Government of Boico, Colstream and the Tribal Council of Vetaka I call upon you to issue a order of withdrawal of your forces from Boico. Followed by the complete withdrawal of Catilio Naval Forces from Boico Waters and the Boico Sphere of Influence hereby set at 750 Nautical Miles. With the exception of the stated demands their will be no further action against you or your government. You have my word. You have 10 minutes to respond and under Vetakan Naval Law I deliver you your warning shot Sir. You have seen the North Staffordshire in action, Is this worth it as it going to get worse? Stand Down, Withdraw, 10 Minutes. Benson OUT"

With that the massive Feathermore Class Superdreadnought launched a single Goalkeeper Anti Shipping Missile towards the enemy fleet it sped through the sky and detonated just above the waterline 1 nautical mile directly in front of the looming Catilio Fleet. As the Vetakan Naval Battle Arm approached the enemy fleet further south west at Boico held predefined ports the Vetakan Defence Force Ground Forces aboard the Fleets Helicopter Carriers, Amphibious Assualt Ships and the looming C-5 Galaxy led Airborne Deployment Force where preparing to deploy significant ground force which with elements of Boico Ground Forces and Colstream Ground Forces would approach and retake the Capital forcing a total Catilio Retreat. All the while the Allied Ground Forces would be under the the watchful supportive gaze of the Vetakan Air Defence Forces and Vetakan Space Defence Assets.

The Allied Ground Operation would like all major Vetakan ground deployments be spearheaded by Vetakan Special Forces whose main priority once on the ground was to relieve the trapped & surrounded Colstream Special Forces whom where now close to collapse as a result. Not only was the Colstream Special Ops Commander sent a Code Red, Priority 1 Encrypted OBSAT Message he was also assigned 2 FA-15 Cardinals & 1 AC-130 Close Air Support Gunship.

Emergency OBSAT Encrypted Message:

To: Trapped Colstream Special Operations Commander. Location: (XXXX,XXXX,XXXX,XXXX)
From: Vetakan Defence Force Ground Command

END TRANSMISSION
