Diplomatic Message from the Sidarian Federation

--------------------

Concerning the Independence of the Federation of Sidaria

As has been said by countless individuals, the economic problems and social strifes of the Sidarian people have brought about the end of the autocratic rule of the royal family and their government. The Kingdom of Sidaria is now in tatters; barely clinging to a small northern territory. In its place a new nation is beginning to take shape: a democratic nation ruled by the people... the Sidarian Federation.

This new Sidarian nation, as it is now, does not have an army to defend it or a strong government to direct it, it is vulnerable to outside attack and internal destruction. It is because of this that we, the people of Sidaria, are calling for the aide of the international community to ensure that the autocratic rule of the Sidarian royalty is forever ended and that this new democratic nation will rise and prosper.

Attached to this document is a map showing the location of the Sidarian Federation as well as the remnants of the Kingdom of Sidaria (RSK).

.::MAP::. (http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk231/Sidaria/KingdomMap.png)

The green area is the Federation, the red area is the RSK and the light blue regions are territories claimed by both the Federation and the RSK. The territories are the North East Territory (N.E.T.) and the South East Territory (S.E.T.).

We in the Federal Provisional Government of the Sidarian Federation humbly make this request: that nations from the international community aide the Federation in the final consolidation of the territories (light blue on the map) and to ensure the final destruction of the Kingdom. We also ask that these nations aide in the creation and training of the Federal Armed Forces and the establishment of a stable, concrete system of government for the Federation and its people.

{OOC NOTE: before I'm told a million times to add states or province to the map I would just like to let you know that the reason there aren't any at the moment is because the entire country is in chaos. As if the transition from a Kingdom to Federation wasn't enough there is also rioting in Darath and other cities as well as the fact that there is a large part of Sidaria basically blowing in the wind (the light blue region of the map).}

[BUMP/RESERVED]

OOC: Just so I know, how exactly is this supposed to be played out? Is it supposed to be futuristic/modern/post-modern? And when you ask for support, do you want armies, diplomats, etc....?

Diplomatic Message from the Sidarian Federation

So be it. We will allow General Edwyrd Aminestas to travel to the Republic of Zinaire to discuss matters of a the military. As for the question of aid: the Federation requires military arms and training as the majority of the military officers remained loyal to the royal family are now fortifying the Kingdoms border against any attempted attack by the Federation or otherwise. Though the destruction of this remnant of an autocratic past takes first priority, at the moment we are more interested in solidifying Federal control over the N.E.T. and the S.E.T.; if it is at all possible for the Republic of Zinaire to aid us in this regard we would be most thankful.

Shall we send a plane to pick up Gen. Aminestas or will you be sending him?

Also, it appears to be your lucky day as Zinaire has a surplus of weaponry that we have been looking to get rid of. However, before we start to send shipments of weaponry, we invite you to establish an embassy in Zinaire (see signature) to cement our relations and insure that the guns we send you are never pointing back at us.

Seargent Vincent Gambino leaned aganst the window of the plane. He sighed as the rain splattered aganst the window. The lack of light on this plane gave it a somewhat eerie atmosphere as it started to go in for a landing. He flipped the yellow hood of his CM raincoat-esque uniform over his head. The plane eased into it's landing, and the men started to get up and head for the doorway. "Always getting the crappiest jobs, eh boys?" he smiled at his squad. A few other men laughed as the rain pelted aganst their partially covered faces. "Good God." One of the troops muttered "I feel like I'm back in London!" The CM troops marched out in single file as the other planes flew down to drop of the rest of their battalion.

OOC: For those of you in the know, it is THE Vincent Gambino. This is still '98, so he isn't president yet.

From: Jules Willard, Harakian Foreign Minister
To: Danton Amrallatha, Secretary of State of the Sidarian Federation

First of all, greetings and good day to you. I would like to begin what we can hopefully forge into a beneficial working relationship on the right foot.

Moving on to business, my congratulations on winning your independence from what I understand to have been an autocratic monarchy. The spread of democracy and human rights to more people and states is always a commendable cause, and it is on that basis that I am contacting you today.

We in Haraki of course recognize the difficulties faced by a new democratic nation. It is all too easy for a fragile democracy, especially one without a strong military presence, to crumble either under internal pressure or external invasion. As I understand it, the situation in the Sidarian Federation is facing just those problems, with the threat of the monarchy's military and the constant pressure placed on a new democracy.

To get to the point, we in Haraki have taken a special interest in your case, and would like to propose a deal to you. We would like nothing more than to help your nation flourish into a fully democratic, independent state; free of internal strife and external pressure. In order to do so, you will need immediate military protection combined with long-term military aid to help in the building of a military from scratch. In addition to this, your nation will most likely require aid in stabilizing your government, providing free and fair elections, and preventing your budding democracy from going the route of all too many nations: falling into radicalism or autocracy, through those who would seek to topple or take advantage of the democratic system which you are just starting to build.

In order to accomplish all of these goals, we would like to provide you with what you need in exchange for very little. We will provide immediate military aid through the deployment of the 102nd and 103rd Infantry Divisions combined with a carrier taskforce centred around the HNS Indomitable, which is on patrol close to your shores and could be redirected very quickly. In combination with this, we will provide military advisors and instructors, in addition to providing first-rate surplus military armaments at low prices, to help you build up your own military. We will also provide long-term loans at low interest rates, in order to help finance the construction of the infrastructure you will need. We will provide advisors and analysts in order to help you build the systems you will need to provide civil, political, and humanitarian rights for your people. In short, we would like to 'take you under our wing', so to speak.

Although we would be willing to do this for no cost, we would also like to establish a naval and air base along the coast of the unorganized territory, preferably at the northern end of the southwestern most island, at the mouth of the Straits of Byth. This will help us give you military aid over the long term, and provide us with a base for quick reaction to any threats posed to your nation.

I hope you will take the time to think over this proposal. As one democratic nation to another, we see it as our duty to help you along the path to full and strong democracy, and I hope that we can see eye to eye on this matter.

We will be sending a V-22 Osprey to pick up the general. Where should it land (it is VTOL, so a conventional airbase is not necessary)? Also, is there risk of anti-aircraft fire and should we send a fighter escort?

OOC: For those of you in the know, it is THE Vincent Gambino. This is still '98, so he isn't president yet.

The air traffic controller leaned back in his chair as he watched the plane slowly descend to the blacktop of the runway.

"CM-173 welcome to the Sidarian Federation," he said as he watched the soldiers begin to exit the plane, "...federation." he whispered. As if tasting the word. The old age is dead a new age is born.

The three CoD agents leaded back in their chair. Wraith moved his pointer gently up and down the edge of one of his knives, Pegasus looked out the window, and Pheonix slept quietly. The humming of the helicopter gave a calm feeling even though in one of the standard Greywatch assault choppers. Two other soldiers sat with them in the back of the chopper, the pilot and co-pilot were looking for a place to land. They were comming from the west, and weren't too sure about where they were, they'd recieved the map but Greywatch had yet to establish any relations with this country. "Sir! According to the map we're ten minutes out! I'm sending the message to them now!" The pilot yelled back over the sound of the engine, "Good job, take us down a bit. And by all means keep those weapons ready, we don't know what's waiting for us." Pegasus yelled back, he considered himself to be the leader and no one else bothered to tell him different.

OOC: Just a bit of profile.

Pegasus: Blond hair, slender, white buisness suit, light body armor, caucasion, green eyes, 36, polite.
Pheonix: Red hair, muscular, forest camo, body armor, shades, tan-skin, brown eyes, 40, rough and tumble.
Wraith: Black hair, black leather/cloth armor, black cloak, pale-skin, blue eyes, unknown age, silent and contemplative.

One of the men, whose red hair sticks out even over his hood, gave him a casual salute as he walked by. "So, where we supposed to go?" The man inquired.

A V-22 Osprey bearing Zinairian roundels landed at the Darath Airport. It had taken off slightly more than an hour ago from the ZSV Canine, a Wasp Class LHD that had been in the area.

Four Zinairian troops disembarked and waited for the general so they could begin the long flight to Zinaire.

One of the men, whose red hair sticks out even over his hood, gave him a casual salute as he walked by. "So, where we supposed to go?" The man inquired.

OOC: For CM's post:

IC:

"Good evening, I am Mr. Belanor, I am sorry I cannot stay and chat. You will be directed for the time being my Mr. Cameron; he will lead you through the airport terminal and to-" he looked up at another plane beginning its descent, "that would be the Zinairians... As I was saying Mr. Cameron will lead you through the terminal to a black SUV which will take you the FPG Building. You will be given rooms there and briefed in the morning." He began walking down the edge of the runway to greet the Zinairians.

"Follow me if you please." Mr. Cameron said.

OOC: For Zinaire's post:

IC:

General Aminestas watched quietly as Deputy Cameron led several men past him towards the other end of the terminal. He could only assume it was more soldiers from foreign countries, he knew he could trust these men but he worried nonetheless...

He saw Air traffic Director Belanor lead the Zinairians towards the terminal through the large windows overlooking the runway and General Aminestas rushed to meet them; there was no point in wasting any time... He stood by the doors leading to the runway as the Zinairians and Belanor walked towards him. When they reached him he shook hands with the Zinairians and bid ATD Belanor good day and followed them back to the aircraft. He hoped the flight would be short.

"How long will the flight be?" he asked.

OOC: For Greywatch's post: I will post an IC response when they land.

OOC: Do you mind some (light) PMT?

IC:


Forty-eight army green men and women began their part of their platoon's mission in the windy meadows of Mu Cephei. As career soldiers of the Mu Cephei Tenth Special Forces Group they had to join the rest of their unit in a military exercise. They had orders to move as quickly as possible to a hill where the new guy of the platoon, an Air Force Combat Controller, would call in air support who would then fly in and 'destroy' their target. A barn on a family farm by the hill. So it wasn't an actual enemy, but that didn't stop the group of soldiers to take this mission dead serious. It was their first major exercise after all. That is why it came as a complete surprise to them when a Colonel intercepted the platoon with the help of his two aids to talk to them.

When the Colonel ordered them to stand down First Lieutenant Wally Winkson immediately told his platoon to take a break in the meadow they were moving in, the target hill was only a few feet away. On top of the was several large helicopters. The wind blew by quickly, causing the First Lieutenant to shiver. Or did the shiver come from being in the presence of a higher up?

"Sir, what can I do for you?" Winkson did his best to stand straight as he could and to show as much respect as psychically possible. Training exercise or not when a Colonel wants to speak with you you had to show respect.

"You have been ordered to leave the area of the training exercise right away. You and your platoon will move with all of your gear to the Boomer's Airport to the east. Understood?" the Colonel seemed as if he did not want to be here out in the cold.

"Yes, sir. Why does my platoon have to go to the airport sir?"

"Cause your going on deployment retard! Now get on those helicopters," Winkson barked an order at his platoon and they began to move towards their first active deployment.

Lieutenant Henry Thomas stepped forward to answer the general's question.

"Good day, General. We'll be flying straight through to Zinaire, and I'm afraid it will take the rest of the day."

The men loaded up and the Osprey took off.

It was pitch black when the plane touched down at the Zinairian National Air Base. General Jordan Overman and two guards stood on the runway. As the party from the Osprey unloaded, General Overman approached them.

"Nice to meet you, General Aminestas. I'm General Jordan Overman of the Zinairian Army. I know it's been a long day, so we'll talk in the morning."

General Overman instructed one of the soldiers to take the visiting General to the officer's barracks.

In the morning, General Aminestas was woken by a knock on his door. A private stood there.

"Good morning, General. General Overman is waiting for you in his office."

Quick OOC: All soldiers being sent to the Sidarian Federation will land at the Darath Airport and from there just skip the formalities and RP them arriving at the FPG building. If you want to know what it looks like: Here you go (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/22/CH-Bundeshaus-Nord.jpg). That image is about as close to what is in my head a possible.

"I see the landing strip sir!" The pilot yelled back at Pegasus. Pheonix woke up at the sound of the chopper landing. It touched down with a bit of a bounce and the roters slowly began to stop. The two soldiers jumped out in their white uniforms and saluted to whoever was to greet them. Pegasus and Wraith climbed out and Pheonix followed not to far behind. They got their equiptment from the hold of the chopper before being greeted and moving out. The chopper took off as they left, the other two soldiers leaving with it. They arrived at the FPG Building...

"Good evening, I am Mr. Belanor, I am sorry I cannot stay and chat. You will be directed for the time being my Mr. Cameron; he will lead you through the airport terminal and to-" he looked up at another plane beginning its descent, "that would be the Zinairians... As I was saying Mr. Cameron will lead you through the terminal to a black SUV which will take you the FPG Building. You will be given rooms there and briefed in the morning." He began walking down the edge of the runway to greet the Zinairians.

"Follow me if you please." Mr. Cameron said.

"An SUV?" Vincent said "Surely you have more then THAT! There's at least three hundred of us!" He gave the man a quizzical look.

Water stretched to the horizon in every direction, gentle waves moving against the sides of the HNS Indomitable, surrounded by a half dozen smaller escort ships. It dwarfed them all, its massive frame gliding through the water with grace, despite its unwieldy shape. Overhead, a flight of two fighters, part of the ever-present combat air patrol, moved in a lazy curve off the ship's starboard bow.

Inside the ship, Captain Tasha Bryant was going over her new orders, just confirmed by her immediate superior in the area, Commodore Xavier Fuego, who was nearing the end of a year-long term as the commander of the nearest Harakian base and the naval units assigned to it. He had confirmed her new orders, to head for the small, newly independent Sidarian Federation and take up a defensive guard position in Sidara Bay, off the capitol city, to provide immediate support for the new nation, and to ensure the safety of transports which would be arriving with the advance units of the 102nd Infantry Division, and the first advisors who would, over time, help build the Sidarian military into one which would no longer require Harakian assistance.

Until further notice, though, she was in command of the Sidarian mission, and thus responsible for the defence of the new nation; accountable to her superiors for events there until such time as a higher-ranking officer arrived. It had also been explained to her that her ship would be the landing platform for a Harakian diplomat, who would be setting out from Atherlon within the hour, and that she was to escort him to Darath to establish official personal contact with the government there. Of course, a civilian on board a military vessel was never a welcome occurrence, but he would have to be tolerated until such time as they arrived. She could, however, do her best to make that time as little as possible.

On her orders, the Indomitable and its escorting taskforce adjusted their heading, leaving long curved wakes behind their ships, and increased speed. She would endeavour to reach Sidaria as soon as possible, in order to take up her role as quickly as she could. Command of this taskforce was already one of her first major assignments, with all her previous ones having been as a subordinate, usually as part of a larger carrier force or combined fleet. Here she was being given even more responsibility, with the safety of an entire budding democracy entrusted to her by the Harakian Navy, at least for the time being. She couldn't help but smile at this chance to show off, as she felt the Indomitable's engines increase their churning drive under the sea, and she watched the sea begin to pass by the windows of the bridge faster than before.

"Ensign, how long before we reach Sidara Bay at current speed and heading?" she asked, not taking her eyes off a report of maintenance on one of the aft Hawker-2 CIWS.

Her cartographer, his eyes panning across a map projected on the screen in front of him, squinted slightly. "I would know better if we were in the TCC, but I'm estimating somewhere around 36 to 48 hours. I'll start a more detailed analysis."

She nodded. "Get it done, and report back to me when you know a more precise measurement. Air control, get me a report on effective range of our aircraft onto the Sidarian landmass. I want to know how early we could deploy aircraft, and just what our capabilities will be once we're in position. We've been told to be on our toes for a potential attack on the Sidarian Federation by monarchist forces, although it's likely it won't happen. I want to know what impact we could have at the different stages of our voyage. Correspond with cartography for range-time estimates if needed."

"Aye, captain," came the expect response, and Bryant turned her focus back to the maintenance report. Once she had more to think about, she could change her focus; but for now, she knew, all she could do was wait.

Lieutenant Henry Thomas stepped forward to answer the general's question.

"Good day, General. We'll be flying straight through to Zinaire, and I'm afraid it will take the rest of the day."

The men loaded up and the Osprey took off.

It was pitch black when the plane touched down at the Zinairian National Air Base. General Jordan Overman and two guards stood on the runway. As the party from the Osprey unloaded, General Overman approached them.

"Nice to meet you, General Aminestas. I'm General Jordan Overman of the Zinairian Army. I know it's been a long day, so we'll talk in the morning."

General Overman instructed one of the soldiers to take the visiting General to the officer's barracks.

In the morning, General Aminestas was woken by a knock on his door. A private stood there.

"Good morning, General. General Overman is waiting for you in his office."

General Aminestas groaned inwardly when he learned how long it would take... he slept through most of the trip and when he arrived was glad to be directed to a bed...

--

The knock on the door woke him up. Edwyrd slowly rose out of bed and pulled back on his jacket.

"I'll be out in one minute." He put on his glasses and straightened his pants, 'must look presentable for the Zinairian's' he thought. He walked to the door and smiled at the man here to lead him to wherever it was he was supposed to be.

"Lead on sir."

"An SUV?" Vincent said "Surely you have more then THAT! There's at least three hundred of us!" He gave the man a quizzical look.

"Hmm?" Cameron said... when he realized what was said he swore loudly.

"Damn it all! It seems we have had a slight mix up in communications, that SUV is reserved for the men from Greywatch. I will have to phone if for a convoy to be brought her to escort you from the airport. I'm afraid we will have to wait here in the terminal. Excuse me please." Cameron walked away from the men to a corner, he pulled his cell phone out and made a quick call.

He came back with a sullen look on his face, "I would make myself comfortable if I were you, we are looking at about two hours of quality time together. All three hundred of you." he said with a chuckle.

"I see the landing strip sir!" The pilot yelled back at Pegasus. Pheonix woke up at the sound of the chopper landing. It touched down with a bit of a bounce and the roters slowly began to stop. The two soldiers jumped out in their white uniforms and saluted to whoever was to greet them. Pegasus and Wraith climbed out and Pheonix followed not to far behind. They got their equiptment from the hold of the chopper before being greeted and moving out. The chopper took off as they left, the other two soldiers leaving with it. They arrived at the FPG Building...

OOC: I post the briefing once everyone has arrived at the FPG Building. (It will have to be tomorrow unfortunately because I have to be up at 5:30 in the morning and it is nearly 10:30 PM here...

The private led General Aminestas to General Overman's office in the base's administration building.

(OOC: I'm just going to start referring to them by last names)

When Aminestas entered, Overman motioned for him to sit down.

"Sleep well?"

Aminestas nodded.

"Excellent. Well, as you know we're preparing to deploy troops in support of your government. We would like to know about your military, the royalist military and anything else you think is important. We're willing to send a large deployment with naval and air support as needed. How many troops do you suppose are necessary?"

"Fuck it!" One of the soldiers in the back yelled rather loudly. "Come on soldier, it's not that bad." Vincent said. "Fine then. I'm Vincent Gambino, 1st squad seargent of the 4th battalion, pleased to meet you." He extended his hand to shake Camerons hand.

OOC: As I told Greywatch, I will continue posting tomorrow when I get home from school (17, in high school...finals....). Haraki I will respond to your post immediately upon my return home as well as provide a more detailed map for everyone. I'm sorry I have to go but by all means RP your arrival at the FPG Building or at the Darath airport and I will get an IC response out as soon as possible.

OOC: For Zinaire's post:

"Even during the rule of the Kingdom the Sidarian army was never large, though it made up for it with its extremely well trained officer corp, most of which remained loyal to the Monarchy, as it is at this moment the Federal Army is nearly nonexistent save for foreign soldiers sitting in Darath and bands of militia harassing the Royal Army to the north, though how long that will last is unknown to me. The threat of a monarchist attack is always at the back of our mind, to prevent this I suggest the deployment of several thousand soldiers to the northern border; I do not want to put any pressure on Zinairian government during this delicate time but the Sidarian Federation is just not able to defend itself." he rubbed his temples, even thinking about this situation gave him a headache.

OOC: for CM's post:

Cameron nervously extended his hand and shook the Sergeants hand, "I am Damian Cameron, Deputy Controller of this airport. I'm the one responsible for making sure the other air controllers don't crash the planes." Cameron let out a painful chuckle; it was awkward trying to make small talk with someone who could kill him with his thumb.

OOC: Yeah I'll prolly be turning in soon too. I just need to post my chars' equiptment since I had to rush my guys to the FPG building.

Pegasus: Rapier and Katana, one standard handgun [semi-auto; 18 rounds a clip], one smoke bomb.
(Smooth talking diplomat, Master Swordman)

Pheonix: Combat knife, three frags, a standard assault rifle w/ scope [semi-auto; 30 AP rounds a clip], a customized assault class pistol [semi-auto/auto settings; 12 rounds a clip], standard SMG [auto; 64 rounds a clip]. (Hardened Elite Soldier)

Wraith: Short sword, twenty concealed small custom assassination knives, two combat knives, three flash grenades, two custom silenced SMGs [automatic; 42 rounds a clip], five small vials of poison.
(Elite Covert Agent, Spy, Assassin)

OOC: Okay, I really have to go now. I will start posting again around 4:30 PM EST (I live in the Eastern United States). I will post a response to Greywatch, to Haraki and to whoever else has posted by then. I will also provide a more detailed map and post the briefing of the mission by the Secretary of State, Danton Amrallatha. Zinaire, we will continue the meeting of the generals then as well.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Overman rubbed his chin and thought for several moments.

"Very well, say, 5,000 troops? If it's okay with you, we'll send the first round by plane and the rest by sea. Is there anywhere we could land a bunch of C-17s? Bear in mind, it'll be weeks to a month before our boats arrive. What can you tell us about the terrain where the troops will be serving?'

Diplomatic Message from the Sidarian Federation

The Sidarian Royal Family does not deserve amnesty. They will be punished for their crimes against their people, they will all spend the rest of their lives in prison.

This is not a negotiation.

OOC:I shall play the ebil Royalist helpers, but dont worry, my hands are FAR to busy with some other issues to send anything big this way.

IC:

Shakal Imperial Palace

The Empress read the report and shook her head. All day long the Reichsmarschall brought her these papers filled with news of civil wars that needed 'settling' and revolutions that needed 'supressing' in the name of the Shakal Empire. This message was slightly off key from the others, it was a proposal to send in a corps of air cavalry to rescue the former Royal Family of Sidarian States from prison. She thought for a moment and quickly called up a list of other Shakal conflicts currently taking place. At the moment some 2,300,000 Shakal troops were abroad protecting far stretched islands and occupied territories. An entire corps of Air Cavalry was only 36,000 to 50,000 men. She sat thinking for a moment and decided to make a quick check with Erich Von Manstein (Younger) to see if he knew of this. The man answered his phone with the usual formality. He was the most disciplined 32 year old that the Empress had met, it was either that or him being 14 years older than her made it seem that way.

"...So do you think this is a wise move?" She asked him.

"I beleive the descision lies in your hands yet again Empress." Manstein gained rank quickly thanks to his fathers military conquests under the former Emperor and father to the current Empress. However he had proved himself more than capable of holding the rank of High Field Marshall.

"Of course you do." She said smiling into the phone. "Do you think Hartmann would have an issue with this?" She asked.

"I believe not Empress, the Luftwaffe is simply waiting to engage thanks to the recent tensions between ourselves and The Medic Droid rising." Manstein was sitting behind his sparse oak desk in the Central Ministry Of Army Direction with only the single light of a lamp illuminating the entire scarcly decorated room.

"I shall ask him then." The Empress was about to hang up the phone when a quick thought came into her head. "Have you decided what to do about Vicky yet?"

"I would rather not say Empress." Manstein had hesitated for a good length of time before answering, his personal life had always been difficult to deal with.

"Very well." The phone was hung up and the Empress looked back down at the paper before her. She lifted her quill and signed the sheet in her official ink and gave a quick phonecall to the Reichsmarschall. His wish would come true, a corps of Air Cavalry would be sent off to rescue the former Royals of Sidaria.

Shakal Response To Danton Amrallatha

Then it shall be our job to secure these people and ensure that they reach our lands safe and unharmed. Your negotiation does not matter.

Signed,
Empress Kristina Schraepl II

Shakal III. Luftcavalriekorps HQ

The men were already preparing to leave. The three Air Cavalry divisions would be supplemented with two anti-air brigades. In total 38,000 troops would make for Sidarian lands to free the Royal family. Overall command would be given to Lt. General Vidal. The corps consisted of the 8. Luftcavalrie Division, 9. Luftcavalrie Division, 7. Luftcavalrie Division, and the 88th and 72nd FlaK Brigades. It would take three days to ready the men and supplies for the mission.

OOC: No problem. And since I appreciate that it can be hard to RP off a post that has little inter-character or inter-governmental interaction, I decided to give you something else to work with:






The printer buzzed one final time as the Indomitable received a message from naval headquarters in Arkia, and the piece of paper was jettisoned from the printer and dropped into the tray beneath it. An ensign almost immediately snatched it up and carried it to Captain Bryant in her cabin, handing it to her with a salute which she gladly returned before dismissing the messenger. Left alone, though her door was open to indicate she was open to being disturbed in person rather than over the shipwide communications system, she set the paper on her desk, sat, and read the missive from General Randolph Kidd, the Harakian Chief of Staff and therefore head of the military services. Frankly, she was surprised he was even involved in what seemed like such a small affair. It was probably a slow week in the world.


Captain Bryant,

This message is classified top secret, and is not to be shared with any personnel besides command staff.

Current plans for your operation involve deployment of advance elements of the 102nd and 103rd Infantry Divisions by transport plane into the Darath Airport. This advance force will most likely be composed of two brigades, one from each division, thus 3,000 combat troops plus logistical support. The rest of the ground forces will be deployed by sea, and will most likely take several weeks to reach their destination at Darath. They will, of course, be escorted by considerable naval assets to prevent any attacks en route, and most of these assets will remain in-theatre upon deployment.

At present your role in this deployment strategy is to secure a landing zone for the advance party, and then to provide air support for whatever operations they undertake once on the ground. We are not willing to risk a midair engagement with monarchist Sidarian air forces without air escort, and so the transport planes will not be entering the area until you are within range to provide not only air escort to the transports from the moment they come within land-based air range, but also that we expect you to have already established air superiority over Darath Airport, where we have been instructed by the federalist government to consider our landing zone.

Because the transports will have a long flight ahead of them, we have taken the ETA that you sent us and subtracted flight time from it. The transports wil be launching within the next twelve hours, and should arrive several hours after you have arrived on station in Sidara Bay. The transports will be approaching over the Serian Sea, and I want your fighters to be providing escort duty as soon as they are within ground-based radar range, and thus vulnerable to intercept. You should also have aircraft on CAP over Darath Airport by this point, and I expect a group of marines from your taskforce to be on the ground at the landing zone to facilitate ease of transition on the ground.

Accompanying the advance force will be Major-General Perry Riggs of the 102nd, and he will be assuming overall command of land, air and sea forces upon his arrival. You will remain in command of naval assets until relieved by a superior officer who will be arriving in-theatre with the bulk of the 102nd and 103rd and the naval forces accompanying them. There is an additional stipulation here; you are to consider yourself in overall command of the operation until Major-General Riggs makes contact with you. Until such time as he has clear channels of communication and is organized enough on the ground to make contact with Harakian naval forces in-theatre and assume command, you are to carry on as overall commander of the operation, meaning that judgment calls are your prerogative until Riggs contacts you.

I expect you to make contact with the government of the Sidarian Federation and ensure that this operation is conducted in an organized and timely fashion.


Good day.

General Randolph Kidd, Chief of Staff



Several minutes later, the following message was transmitted to the senior Federation military command.



From: Captain Tasha Bryant of the HNS Indomitable
To whom it may concern,

I have been presented with the gameplan for how to conduct the deployment of the first group of Harakian ground forces, and would like to open a dialogue with you to ensure we are on the same page on this subject.

We will be deploying two brigades of mechanized infantry, composing approximately 3,000 frontline troops, by means of transport aircraft; the rest of two full divisions of troops will be arriving by ship within several weeks, bringing the total number of Harakian soldiers to over 20,000. In order to deploy the first group effectively, though, I would like to submit the following plan:

The HNS Indomitable and her escorting ships, from here referred to as the Indomitable Taskforce, or InTF, will arrive in position in Sidara Bay, within the next twenty-four hours. Several hours following this, the transport planes will begin to arrive. We will be providing air escort for the Harakian transports, but will also need to establish air superiority over the Darath Airport, in case of royalist air intercept of our transports. InTF aircraft will take up formation over Darath Airport six hours before the arrival of the first transports, approximately three hours before arrival of InTF at its final position. Once InTF arrives, several platoons of Harakian marines, stationed aboard the ships, will head to shore and make their way to Darath Airport, where they will establish a defensive position around one runway, which will be designated as purely for the use of landing Harakian troops for the duration of the presence in-theatre of the transport planes. This should be a fairly expedient procedure, as over the years we have become increasingly efficient at deploying from transports, and have gotten a fast turnaround time. The transports will land, unload, refuel, and once all have landed and undergone this process, they will take off and head back to Haraki.

For the duration of this process, and after its completion, Harakian fighters will maintain air superiority over Darath Airport, to prevent any potential royalist attacks against any Harakian land, naval, or air forces. Once the process is complete, if it all goes without a hitch, there should be two full brigades of Harakian troops on the ground and InTF will have established air superiority, if necessary, over Darath Airport - undoubtedly a major step if this does degrade into a full-on civil war; if it has not already.

Once the Harakian ground forces have become organized, I will be giving overall command to Major-General Perry Riggs, commander of the Harakian 102nd Infantry Division.

If there are any problems with this plan, please notify me immediately so we can work out a compromise. Thank you.


Captain Tasha Bryant

Cameron nervously extended his hand and shook the Sergeants hand, "I am Damian Cameron, Deputy Controller of this airport. I'm the one responsible for making sure the other air controllers don't crash the planes." Cameron let out a painful chuckle; it was awkward trying to make small talk with someone who could kill him with his thumb.
Vincent smiled "So, when will the transportation be here? It's getting a little damp even in these raincoats." Vincent looked around. Nothing of much interest here. Vincent sighed I ALWAYS get the boring assignments...

Three Boeing 747-800 Dreamlifters (Mu Cephei's version of the 747-400) took-off from Boomer's Airport. Each one carried a unit of Mu Cepheian soldiers and their gear, but each one has had a very special payload in them. Inside one were four broken down MQ-9M Reapers (Mu Cephei's version of the MQ-9) which would be reassembled at their host's airport, another had two broken down Multifunction Utility/Logistics and Equipment MULES (also Mu Cephei's versions) plus a broken down Unmanned Mounted Combat System, and the last aircraft contained a bunch of extra gear for the troops. All of this gear would help provide the means for some trouble.

LT. Winkson thanked the strewed and took a sip of his drink. Sitting in a chair wearing a jersey and jeans, Winkson wondered how he landed up going to a country he had never seen before at several thousand feet in the air. It wasn't like it didn't want to go. To the contrary he and the rest of the 60 membered platoon (several other squads were attached to his) were ready to go. No a single person on those plane's, but the crews were bored. Each one was daydreaming about glorious combat. The veterans had more realistic dreams which to many would seem boring, but was heaven for them for they had live those dreams once and would live it again. The recruits dreamed of World War II like combat with explosions all around and where it seems like the allies are losing, but then they gather up their last bits of strength to pull in a victory.

The Colonel walked over to Winkson and asked him to join him in the back. Winkson quickly unbuckled himself and followed behind the short stocky Colonel. When they left ear shot of the rest of the troops on the plane a women walked over to them.

"First Lieutenant Winkson please say hello to Major Emma. She will over overall tactical command for the duration of this mission. Understood?" Winkson did a one over of the Major. He was slightly mad that he was being dumbed down the chain with the Major's introduction, but Winkson realized that he could enjoy this mission more without the extra load of weight which having command gave him.

"Yes sir," Winkson nodded grimly.

"Good," a few hours later, after a midair refueling over one of Mu Cephei's smaller colonies, the three massive aircraft landed at the assigned airport. Taking orders from the air traffic controller until all three aircraft came to a halt. A radio message was sent to the tower.

-This is the detachment from the Mu Cephei Tenth Special Forces Group. Mind if we unload our cargo now?

Hello fellow nations,
We can send peace keeping and if necessary combat forces to help the
democratic process continue.

OCC; Is this still open?

OOC: I don't mean to bitch or anything 'cause believe me I have exams too but... it is the weekend so at least one post would be a little useful. Just so I/we know this thread hasn't died.
