a Pirate's Business (Open RP)

The Ryou Black Islands
24-09-2008, 23:01
It was well known that Kanna was one of the most well known Pirates in all Xanadou. She was the Terror that haunted the dreams of Fordockians, Kiravians, Zanskis and others who dared crossed the Path of The Ryouese people. Hero of The Empire.

So it was a Big Surprise that a Web site soon came up for a odd Cargo Shipping company. It wasn't the Name of it, called "Xanadou Trade Inc.", nor was it that it was looking to expand from the Ryou Black Islands to the rest of the world.

It was the Picture of the owner..........

Yep, Kanna had a Shipping Company.

In Shai, Ryu was reading the news, fainting after seeing XTI's Ad on the Paper.

In Chernobl, someone Screamed at The news, Namely "HOW IN THE EIGHT ROOFS OF THE WORLD DID SHE GET A TRADE COMPANY!?!" that day, Isabella had a Royal Headache.

in Hell.......

Askua's Screams scared all the Demons, while She was beating up Hitter, after seeing the Website for XTI.

It was the Shock that went around The Universe and beyond.

Even though Lynion is at war with Fungi, we, the Colonies of Union and Lynx, have declared that all shipping cargo and freighters of the Xanadou Trade Inc. Crew members will be banished from the colonies and their islands. We have also being authorised to inform Xanadou Trade Inc. that with Lynion at war, any Xanadou Trade Inc. freighters, cargo and crew members will be fired upon and cargo, freighters or crew members will be taken under the articles of war.

We highly suggest that Xanadou Trade Inc." stay away from Union, Lynx and Lynion if they value their cargo, ships and crew members.

"I understand Stevid would protect us if attacked, but Kanna acts as though we are using them as a crutch. This worries me, Ryou used Stevid as a crutch too much and it got them kicked from the Empire."

"We've hardly asked any thing of Stevid, I'm sure they would be understanding."

"I still worry about the other ships in the region, any one of our ships could get mistaken for one of Kanna's pirate ships."

"Our navy is on full alert."

"No response to our message either. We need a way to prevent us from becoming targets by mistaken identity."

"The sooner we take Kanna off the waters, my Princess, the better."

"Can we do that? Xanadou looks to be a legit trading company."

"She is a pirate milady."

"Yes. And at the moment she hasn't done anything wrong. I also would hate to sour our selves with Ryou, next to Stevid and Kanami they're our most trusted ally."

"Well even of Kanna hasn't done anything under Xanadou Inc. she still has committed acts of piracy, smuggling, robbery, we'll have no problem with her."

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE HOLY EMPIRE OF STEVID


To: Xanadou Trading Inc.

The Holy Empire of Stevid hereby fully condemns this trading corporation due to its links to piracy and corruption. The seas are free for everyone to sail through safely and legally without having the taint of your filthy piracy preventing the international community from benefiting from the economic benefits of the Xanadou region.

The Royal Navy’s priorities are focused on rapid military response to global situations and also anti-piracy activities. Kurona falls under the Holy Empire’s banner of protection on a political, economical and military scale and thus the Royal Navy has the resources to comprehensively put your trading business out of action indefinitely. When it comes to anti-piracy activities we are not afraid to, metaphorically speaking, throw the kitchen sink at them. Piracy funds terrorism, guerrillas and mercenaries, the drugs trade and black market goods- it is not just the Holy Empire’s job, but the world’s job, to utterly destroy piracy on the high seas and the Stevidian Empire is a glowing beacon of hope for the honest sailors out there. WE lead the charge and WE will eliminate piracy wherever it flourishes.

The Dienstad Cartel in Greater Dienstad has been met with fierce military attacks from several nations across the region, Xanadou will be next to feel the security of the Stevidian Empire. We have the resources to remove the Xanadou Trading Inc. and we will tirelessly work to remove them and we will use whatever methods necessary to achieve our goals. We will protect Imperial interests in Xanadou (Kurona, Stevid and Adaptus Astrates shipping) and those of ALL foreign nations.

The Royal Navy has a large presence around Kurona and we ask nothing of them. Likewise we will extend this protection to ALL commercial shipping entering, dwelling or leaving the region. It will cost the companies nothing and it is simply a good will gesture to show Stevid honours its commitments to protecting trade at sea. However YOU, the Xanadou Trading Inc., must make every effort to avoid the Royal Navy or surrender to it or less we will destroy all shipping you own regardless of consequences. You dare to bring pirate traits into an area of sea that Stevid has supreme influence in then you will be making your last mistake.

We do not care whether or not the sailors have left piracy behind them or not. A leopard doesn’t change its spots. We will sink Xanadou Trading Inc. shipping on site if they do not give into our demands at the time.

You have been warned. Xanadou is a dangerous place for your ships now and it forever will be.


Secret Message to the Kurona Government

Our intelligence and diplomatic services have been in contact with your government equivalents. We can assure you, you can ask us for support whenever you feel you need it. Ryou’s expulsion was a massive exception, they were fighting huge, HUGE wars which killed tens of thousands of people within three years and they were asking us to help them. It was not worth Stevidian lives and as you can see we made the right decision.

Kurona is different. You are a peaceful people and treasure diplomacy over force, your country epitomises what the Empire stands for and strives to show the world. You needn’t fear looking to us for help. We agree Stevid is like a caged animal ready to be let loose and destroy its enemies, but in the right hands we protect with pride and honour. We keep our word and we know the Kurona feels threatened by these ‘pirates’. The Holy Empire can assure you that the Royal Navy use every tool available to them to destroy sea pirates and that your shipping and all other national and international shipping will be safe from these pirates.

The fleet will be deployed in coming days and you will feel the increased security at work straight away.

God Save the King.

Commander Stefan Krontinsky, captain of the RNS Blitz of Rammsteinburg's new Hawkeye-class nuclear powered heavy cruiser, sat in his cabin looking over the morning's dispatches. It was 0800 and his ship was currently 40 miles from The Ryou Black Islands on an independent patrol mission. The messages were mostly of no importance to him and Cmdr. Krotinsky skimmed through them with an expression of complete disinterest. He sighed as he came to the last one, took a sip of cold coffee, and ran his slender fingers through his fading red hair. 'Thank god it's the final one,' he thought.

Little did he know that another one was on its way, and its contents would be far from boring.

Just as he put down what he thought to be the final dispatch, somebody knocked on his watertight steel door. The captain was surprised -- not because a visitor to his cabin was an unusual occurrence (it was far from that), but because of the way in which whoever it was banged upon the door. It was a knock of passion -- the knock of somebody with important news to deliver. Krontinsky could not help but feel excited, but he did his best to repress this feeling, putting on his typical cold-as-ice, void of any emotion expression that his crew knew so well. His mind filled with wild fantasies of calls to action. It was silly, yes; but after two months of doing practically nothing, one couldn't blame him.

"Yes?" Krontinsky asked, sounding bored and tired.

"Dispatch just came in from XANPATINTEL, captain," said the messenger outside. Krontinsky recognized the youthful voice as that of Signalman Second Class Vogler.

"Come in," the captain ordered.

The cabin door entered and a lanky, blonde haired boy of 25 years of age entered. The captain always struggled to repress a smile when he saw the signalman. Vogler's tall and skinny build, combined with his donkey-like face and large ears, made him look almost ridiculous in his uniform. He always felt bad for finding amusement in the signalman's appearance, for he knew him to be an exceptional sailor.

Vogler stood at attention, saluted the captain, who quickly returned the gesture, and handed over a single sheet of paper, quickly jumping back to attention.

"Dismissed," Krontinsky said as his eyes began scanning the dispatch. The signalman obeyed.

Despite his best efforts, a smirk appeared on the captain's face. 'Hmm, isn't this interesting?' he thought.

The message was short:

"Convoy sighted departing The Ryou Black Islands at 0700. Cargo ships escorted by Ryouese warships. Believed to be pirate vessels. Be alert."

Cmdr. Krontinsky stood and buttoned up his shirt. He then proceeded to the bridge, where he called the crew to general quarters.

Legitimate Ryouese shipping has nothing to fear from the ASoGM. However, any piratical activity performed by ANY nation on ASoGM assets or in ASoGM waters will be dealt with in the manner previously described. This includes Xanadou Trade Inc. and the infamous Kanna. Furthermore, no Ryouese military ship will enter ASoGM territorial waters without permission from the ASoGM government.

OPEN MESSAGE TO Stoklomolvi AND Leistung

Seeing as our countries have pledged to defend the Xanadou region from these pirates we, the Stevidian Royal Navy, suggests that we pool our resources and work together to rout out the pirates in the region. The Royal Navy can boast here to have the most experiance in dealing with piracy but can learn much from the methods used by other willing naval allies. By working together we will be better able to tackle the pirate menance we're all facing.

Kurona is an honoured member of the Holy Empire and thus the Royal Navy already has a sizable presence in the region and so is more than willing to take the lead until your countries bring more naval assets to the scene. That is assuming, of course, you accept this proposal.

The seas are supposed to be free and they were until Ryou decided armed her civilian ships with weaponry. This designates them as military ships and seeing as they may be working under a pirate cartel organisation we can not take the risk that they are powerful pirate vessels themselves.

Ryou rightly fears the Stevidian Empire through word of mouth, personal experiance and simple power extertion. A fight between Stevidian forces and Ryou naval forces will be a short one at the best of time but they should not be under estimated. Leistung military forces are not unknown to the Holy Empire and likewise with Stoklomolvi, both nations are well known to the Stevidian government and we fully respect both your navies.

By ourselves we could destroy this pirate threat. But together we can be invincible.

We hope you agree to our proposal, but if not- the Royal Navy will simply undertake the task at hand by itself with no fuss.

Subject: Pirate organisation

Stoklomolvi would be most honoured to aid the Great Holy Empire of Stevid, which had shown its wisdom in renouncing its protection of the Ryou Black Islands, destroy the illegitimate "Xanadou Trade Inc" company, a pirate organisation. While our navy is currently tied up fighting the liberals in western and eastern Stoklomolvi, we believe that we can ship a number of Type 425 Nuclear Shore Artillery batteries to help destroy the pirate threat. In addition, we can spare one Ulyanovsk class aircraft carrier and seven Kirov class battlecruisers to destroy the filthy pirate scum.

Should worse come to worse, then we will be able to nuke any pirate hideouts. Though we would prefer a more conventional destruction of the "Xanadou Trade Inc," we will spare none should Stevid request it. May Stevid, Leistung, and Stoklomolvi cooperate to destroy a common enemy. Bear in mind, however, that we believe Leistung to be guilty of killing our citizens, though we will not place this grudge in front of the destruction of pirates.

My Shipping Company is not a terrorist Group nor is it going to attack you. I armed my ships after you threated them and all other Ryouese Ships. It is you that are the Pirates, The Murderers, the Rapests and The Terrorists.

if you do not want to Trade with The Ryouese nor with my Shipping Company, then don't trade with us. It is your loss.

FROM: Atlantic Command, ASoGM
RE: Clarification of the ASoGM stance on piracy

Our boarding of other ships only occurs if those ships attempt to board ours, or others in our waters. Any attempt at piracy against the ASoGM, or attempt at piracy in ASoGM waters will not be tolerated. Therefore, if Kanna and the Xanadou Trade company operates in a legal manner in ASoGM waters, and if they do not attempt anything illegal against ASoGM ships, the ASoGM will take no action against them. If Kanna or the Xanadou Trade company do commit illegal acts in ASoGM waters or against ASoGM shipping though, the ASoGM navy will deal with them harshly.

_________________________________________________________

While Atlantic Command was issuing this message, plans were under way to start dispatching naval protection for ASoGM shipping, in case Kanna and the Xanadou Trade company attempted something. Also, ASoGM territorial waters patrols increased, in case of problems.

With the Pirate's Business from Ryou Black Islands becoming bigger and the fact that all Ryous Shipping have weapons to defend them from so called attacks, it was ordered that the Spec Ops on the Lynx Colony be reinforced with extra regular's and Hunters. However, their main concern was the civilian population that was also trying to build the cities of Lynx.

The military commander, Vamperial Headmaster Walker, was given command to the bulk of the Lynion Assassin's due to the Assassin's being trained on Lynx, and about 400,000 Lynion Regular's and Hunter's. It only happen when the Ryou started to arm their shipping and a pirate business was starting to trade. Their only orders were to establish rail guns and anti-shipping batteries around the colony as well as SAM sites. With the batteries and the sites installed, this would make defending the colony much easier. With mutli radar stations around the colony, there was little chance that the Ryous shipping could enter Lynx waters without being detected.

Official Statement of Her Majesty's Government of the Ixanian Empire

It has come to our attention that there is world opposition to a certain cargo company from the Ryou Black Islands, with whom relations are cordial at best, which is christened with the name of Xanadou Trade LTD under the direction of a woman known only, apparently, as Kanna. We, the Ixanian Empire, wish to make it known that legitimate Ryou shipping is more than welcome at our ports but, due to the controversy, we have no choice but to ban Kanna and any of her ships from any and all ports of the Ixanian Empire and those of its colonies. This is all a safety precaution due to the knowledge we posess that suggests Kanna's ties and affiliations to piracy such as her ongoing conflict with the people of East Congaree after employess of her standard, apparently, attacked ships of their trading fleet. Thus, we must take this into account. The Ixanian Empire shall and never will tolerate any pirate regardless of nation. All pirates who come forth to attack our nation's ships shall be dealt with as common criminals and punished severly as the situation demands.

Signed,
Ivan Rucinsky,
Foreign Minister

OOC: Basically, any legitimate Ryou shipping can come to Ixania. It's just that we fear Kanna may get all....uppity in our waters which motivates us to banning her and her company from our nation. No, Ryou, we are NOT outlawing Ryou shipping at all. Other companies of yours can come along and trade with us.

Official Response from The Royal Navy Delegation in Kurona

Such a statement only further condemns your country to the wrath of our power. Although relations with your country have been strained over the past several months, the Holy Empire still officially regards Ryou as a friend. However since Ryou is a former state of the Holy Empire you will be only too aware of our strict laws regarding pirates and pirate activities, so friend or not- Ryouese shipping WILL now be directly targeted by the Royal Navy.

You threats of boarding our ships will not be taken lightly if at all seriously. Are you seriously suggesting that the Holy Empire of Stevid supports piracy? That the Royal Navy actually promotes and defends it criminal cause and thus is legitimately accountable for the drugs trade? Unless you can give us reason for you to board our vessels then we will ignore these threats. If you do find a good excuse we still won’t listen, boarding a Royal Navy will be considered an act of aggression and Ryou is fully aware of just what the Holy Empire is capable of- and the end result will be more than just a blockade and a few naval skirmishes.

Royal Navy shipping now have orders to shoot and destroy any and all Ryou shipping if they come within one mile of our vessels. Ryou has openly declared support for piracy and thus is not in the position to dictate terms of agreement for boarding actions. Your ships, and only your ships (plus those already suspected of piracy) will be boarded except from your military ships unless we deem it appropriate to do so. This course of action is harsh and borderline illegal and we are sure you will openly oppose it… but we haven’t admitted to sponsoring piracy and terrorism but also ask yourself this: What are you going to do to stop us?

HMS Ramious- Lemartes Class DD

The Lemartes Class was the pride and joy of the Royal Navy, reputed to be one of the best destroyer classes in the world. Armed to the teeth in the latest technology rivalling that of every country in the world, the extremely advanced (and expensive) prototype AA laser system was of particular brilliance. First used by Israel many, many years ago, the Stevidian experts in the field harnessed the technology and integrated a super heated light element into the system delivering short burst of blue colour energy pulse as hot as the surface of the sun several seconds after the cannon had fired. Albeit they require their own power source in the ship to be used it was the most effective way of completely destroying an enemy aircraft or missile. This weapon system was just one of the many utilities mounted on this ship.

The Ramious the 68th vessel of the class and part of the 7th Fleet used to defend the Eastern approaches to Stevid but now currently on colonial duties around the Xanadou region. With the rise in tensions yet again in this very volatile region the Ramious was at Condition Yellow. She was on anti-piracy duties, although one could now called it anti-Ryou duties seeing as they had orders to search Ryou shipping due to a political speech by Isabella supporting piracy and threatening foreign shipping. She had been careful not to mention Stevid but the Admiralty had seen straight through it, good relations or not- sponsors of piracy would receive the same treatment from the RN as much as the next country.

HMS Ramious received a coded message from the Admiralty. Ryou had not taken the threats seriously and continued to exert stupid amounts of arrogance to the growing threat to her boarders and trade routes. As if to think that they were untouchable. The Royal Navy had to prove that this wasn’t true, the Ryou economy was a wreck that was gradually recovering after nearly a decade of constant war, her armed forces were well funded regardless but not well trained for Ryou seemed to run everything off a production line and then just use conscription to get the soldiers in to run the equipment. The sailors were different and needed some experience but it was nothing compared to the men and women of the Royal Navy’s surface and underwater fleet. Their ships were largely inferior too, the Lemartes Class carried heavy anti-ship missile capable of taking out super dreadnoughts let alone frigates so a one-on-one combat was already had a decided winner. But what worried the Admiralty was the international fear some nations actually did have for Ryou, they didn’t want a war but they did want to bully Ryou but this was an option they didn’t have since Ryou declared war on whoever they liked. All the nations involved carried a reputation for being well equipped for war but this mattered little to Ryou… at least for everyone but Stevid.

Ryou had witnessed first hand what the Holy Empire could do and time and time again had given reference to other nations about the power of Royal Navy, even in this crisis they had officially stated it would be suicide to take on the Royal Navy let alone those belonging to The Bulb Colony or Leistung. The other nations could fire on Ryou shipping but it would lead to war and a costly one too. Stevid could engage at will and not worry quite so much about the repercussions of such action- it was for this reason that the Ramious was now at Condition Red and training her prow cannon on a Ryouese military frigate.

The frigate was by herself in international waters but the Ramious computer archives could not identify the ship’s name or code, only the class. This led the captain to believe she was brand new and not long out at sea meaning that the Ryouese crew would be new to the job and relatively inexperienced- perfect.
The Royal Navy had threatened action already, now it was time to really rattle the cage and to show everyone that Stevid was not going to be on the sidelines in this crisis. The rapid firing 4.5” cannon let of ten shells in the direction of the Ryouese frigate, all of the warning shots. The accurate gunnery put the shells exceptionally close to the frigate with closest being at least twenty metres. Another salvo was fired, this time five shells programmed to explode right above the Ryou frigate. Right on cue over two miles away puffs of black smoke appeared out of thin air as the shells exploded over the frigate. The shots were obvious to be warning ones and following the last salvo the Ramious sent an un-coded message to the frigate via data feed.

RYOUESE FRIGATE, YOU HAVE BEEN FIRED UPON BY THE HMS RAMIOUS OF THE STEVIDIAN ROYAL NAVY. THIS IS BUT A TASTE OF THE TRUE HORROR YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IF YOU APPROACH ANY FURTHER. THIS IS MERELY A PHYSICAL AND AUDIO WARNING THAT WHILE WE DO NOT TAKE YOUR THREATS SERIOUSLY, YOU SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY SHOULD TAKE OURS SERIOUSLY. ALL RYOU COMMERCIAL SHIPPING WILL BE SEARCHED FOR CONTRABAND AND THE CREWS WILL BE INTERROGATED REGARDING PIRATE ACTIVITIES. IF YOU PERSIT TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING WE WILL DESTROY RYOU MILITARY SHIPPING. IF RYOU SHIPS BOARD OTHER COMMERICIAL SHIPPING THAT IS NOT THEIR OWN, YOUR SHIPS WILL BE DESTROYED. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO STOP US FROM SEARCHING YOUR SHIPS FOR CONTRABAND, YOUR SHIPS WILL BE DESTROYED.

THIS IS YOUR FIRST AND ONLY WARNING… HEED IT WELL.
