A report, leaked from the Dominion of iStormistan, and pried from the dead corpse of the agent sent to retrieve it, reports that the ruler of that nation has made secret plans with a fellow nation, offering up to 10% of iStormistans populace up for sale.

In most of the civilised world this is illegal, but the report details how the ruler, Lord iStorm, is all too happy at the prospect, and rubbing his hands in glee at the prospect of all that gold in his coffers.

No more information is as yet available, but a footnote in the report states that iStormistan is militarily ready to protect itself from international sanctions.

OOC: What you want for it?

Foreign Ministry Press Release

The Government of Salzland, alongside a vast majority of the civilized nations of this world, continues to oppose the international slave trade. Having received a report from the Nation of iStormistan outlining a state-sponsored slavery plan, the Government of Salzland wishes to announce that should such a plan be implemented, iStormistan and the purchasing nation(s) will be subjected to a full set of economic sanctions.

Furthermore, the Government of Salzland will announce at this time that the Salzland Defense Fleet will from this time forward be authorized to search any iStormistan-flagged vessels in international waters and seize whatever contraband or illegal cargoes, including 'slaves,' are found aboard said vessels.

The ASoGM strongly condemns the selling of people as slaves. Therefore, the ASoGM will cease any and all trade or proposed trade with IStormistan, and there is a travel ban to/from IStormistan with the ASoGM. The only exception to the travel ban is IStormistani refugees, willing to emigrate to the ASoGM. Any IStormistani ship caught in ASoGM waters will be boarded, and the ship and its contents seized. Any slaves found on board will be set free, and any crew will be prosecuted under ASoGM law.

Official Communique from the Republic of Ancient Terra
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

While the Republic of Ancient Terra strongly condemns this abhorrent practice, we are genuinely surprised at the attitudes from various other nations of the world. While it is always admirable to stamp out tyranny wherever it rises up, we caution the nations of the world against taking brash action such as launching an invasion of a sovereign nation-state.

War will lead to enormous suffering for the people of iStormistan, while their fascist, corrupt leaders sit in palaces built on the blood of their own people. Be confident that the people of iStormistan will rise up against their oppressors once this horrible proposal is revealed.

Slavery. How tiresome.

Borinata Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Open Memorandum

The Republic of Borinata is outraged that any nation would show such condemnation to basic human rights. Per a nationwide referendum, the Republic of Borinata will cease all economic, cultural and diplomatic exchange with iStormistan, intercept and seize any and all shipments of human 'slaves' and provide safe haven to any citizen of iStormistan seeking refuge from slavery or political asylum, effective immediately.

The Republic of Borinata urges all the nations of the world to condemn the blatant disregard of human rights evinced by iStormistan, to join us in ensuring that all citizens of the world have access to the basic freedom of a life free from slavery and to call for the immediate abdication of Lord iStorm from his post.

Having just received your message, we kindly thank you for your offer of assistance in combating the iStormistan slave trade. At this time, we are preparing to station small task forces of Oliver Hazard Perry-Class Frigates and Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyers along iStormistan trade routes, preparing to intercept their vessels. Additionally, two carrier battle groups are being prepared to embark to a centralized location so that they can support any task force threatened by the iStormistan Navy.

(OOC: Will post an ORBAT once I get back to school this afternoon. It's my birthday, and I'm not spending the rest of my time at home on the PC).

Somewhere, in a place undisclosed, a man argued, in yet another consequence of international events related to a new entry in the secretive "List of foreign governments scheduled for termination".

"No way! This is an utterly stupid idea! Any parallel abolishment of a government could endanger the success of our liberation of Spain, and we have enough of enemies as of now. Once we are done in the Iberian Theater and settled with the potential enemies then I would really be glad to become the very one to put a bullet to the head of the rat, scum and dreg who rules this pathetic IStormistan, or maybe throw him at the mercy of the people he oppressed. And yes... like aways, don't waste paper: actions speak louder than words."

"Certain actions will not endanger our greatest priority. We do not need to necessarily throw our weight around with a banner attached to it. The MilNet is not a government military, and thus our actions do no necessarily represent the Confederacy."

"We shall see about that then. Although I'd rather that this matter was just ignored for now, we cannot risk multiple fronts at such strategic level, and our Navy would require some serious logistical support to operate that far, endangering the anonymity you seem to be proposing."

"Suffice to say, not all Navies can be easily spotted or are publicly known, just remember that we never had this conversation pal, and that the Confederacy has always been completely neutral regarding the issue of IStormistan."

"If it is not an issue to ask comrade, are you basically suggesting that we should commit a Black Operation?"

"Black is the color of anarchism."

It was already night, the moon light shining through the seas ahead, as figures nearly blending with the horizon sailed. Camouflaged vessels of a small flotilla, with unconventional shapes to avoid as far as possible the flat surfaces that would allow for easy detection of the same, likely expensive and built of composite materials as well as of steel. Some of them had small runways, where small, swept-wing turbofan aircrafts with large lift fans for vertical take-off, painted in black, were landed next to equally black helicopters, nearly hid amidst the darkness of the horizon. Weeks would take for it to arrive at its destination, crewed by men who were no longer officially alive, with no official statements or anything ever written or registered about them.

Not even the people of the Confederacy knew about it, not even the head of State knew about it. It was like if such ghost fleet never has existed, for nobody has ever seen it, and officially it is not real. All its vessels were completely unknown in their design, and they had no national markings or identification symbols. Even their crew had their finger and footprints surgically removed, and many biometric features altered to the limit of the possibilities of medicine. All guns and ordnance was based on foreign rather than national equipment, with no way to ever discover where they came from by merely spotting them. No memos, digital mission briefings or even a GPS were given, and thus, this unknown force began its first day of many, sailing through the most remote and unused stretches of the oceans, towards the nation of IStormistan.

Twelve men in white masks observed a circle of 50'' screens, where satellite images were displayed and messages given, in the center of a large, classical room of stone walls engraved by a chiseled symbol (http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/4444/invisiblenetworkbj0.png), with four large pillars holding its weight, and twelve brown foamed seats layered around a round ebony table, with twelve keyboards next to each of the men. A crosshair formed into the satellite image of a continent, and soon red squares highlighted in some of its areas, including areas in the ocean, with subtitles appearing and a main title indicating "Operation Centerwoods: In Progress".

(OOC: Any preemptive and unjustifiable identification of this small task force, or magic "all-seeing eye detection" of the same out of blue, once it arrives, as originated from Third Spanish States will characterize as poor RPing and lead to my immediate resignation from this RP)

ROYAL COURT OF BRELLACH

Greetings;

The Magnificent and Beautiful, Wise and Powerful, Perfect and Almighty, Queen Lyta of Brellach, Her horses swift and Her blade true, has read of this travesty of the most distressing kind and is feeling that something is to be done to liberate such 'slaves' from their masters. To be bound and bartered like mere cattle is not a way for people of these times to be living, and much shock is caused by this.

At first consideration Her Divine Wisdom was inclined to think of purchasing the 'slaves' from their masters, with goals of releasing them into liberation after the completion of the transaction. Pondering further, however, She realised that Brellach lacks the financial capital to accomplish this feat, and it would serve only to provide the slave masters with valuable coin with which to further their operations. The concept of awarding such heinous crime, as if to make it legitimate in their eyes, is disdainful to Her.

The only other possibility is bloodshed and hardship. Her thoughts are to organise a coordinated international taskforce to siege the slavers into submission through attrition. But even then, the slaves must remain in the country which seeks to harm them.

There is no clear solution to this conundrum. It is Her thinking that the latter proposal is the most appropriate, and seeks the support of the other participants.

Most sincerely,

Fellis Jessina
Most devout Royal Advisor of Her Court,
Queendom of Brellach

Even if the ships are stealth, all of the aircraft they're carrying may not be, and especially the landing gear that those aircraft would currently have deployed, any external weaponry on them, and any internal components that could be detected by RADAR with the landing gear down would be picked up.

Dear Sirs and Madams,

At this time, the Government of Salzland wishes to announce that the SDFS Illuminator and SDFS Resilient battle groups have arrived in the region, along with additional interdiction elements, for the purpose of stamping out the iStormistani slave trade. We wish to announce that any iStormistan privately-owned vessels intercepted from this point forward that are found to be transporting slaves or any other type of contraband, human or otherwise, will be seized and their crews detained and charged under Salzland Maritime Code statutes for committing Acts of Piracy through the unlawful transportation with intent to make a personal profit on the sale of human beings into slavery.

Any agents of the iStormistani Government, or vessels thereof, that are stopped and seized transporting a similar cargo will be detained and charged under Salzland Maritime Code statutes governing acts of state-sponsored terrorism, through their use of unlawful force in coercing the civillian population of iStormistan into a state of slavery.

Any resistance encountered by Salzland Defense Force personnel deployed to enforce this policy will result in said SDF personnel using any and all weapons at their disposal for their self-defense, as well as the defense of the enslaved individuals transported upon iStormistani vessels.

(OOC: Seems like detailing all technical details is always needed, so here it goes: there is not a real "runway", because it's a S/VTOL transport, of course such "carrier" is extremely limited compared to conventional aircraft carriers due to its special role(because TANSTAAFL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TANSTAAFL)), not truly designed for conventional military operations or for naval supremacy or large-scale operations, and roughly as large as a destroyer. In fact they'd be better classified as Aircraft carrying destroyers.

OOC: Let me rephrase then... are those aircraft stored in an internal hanger, or just on the deck of the ship itself? If they're stored internally, then you'll be fine until you actually start to launch planes. If they're stored externally, then are those external storage sites covered to prevent RADAR waves from reflecting off of the landing gear and internal components of your aircraft?

OOC: I believe that such discussion is unnecessary for now, because as I will take RL days to make another post to simulate the travel time until it leaves international waters, it can be postponed until I have discussed properly technical details with V10.

Lynx Colony

"Atten-shun!" shouted the lieutenant as Vamperial Assassin Master Rathma, Vamperial Assassin Knight Longshanks and Vamperial Assassin Headmaster Sherman entered the room as hundreds of Assassin Officers, Vamperial Assassin Masters and Vamperial Assassin Knights stood up.

"You may be seated gentlemen and ladies," started Sherman as he bought up a map of the world and the position of Istormista. "At 0405 last night, I was given a telegram that was given by Salzland stating that there's going to be raids on Istormistan Shipping. These shipping holds suspected slaves that are being treated like cattle," briefed Sherman.

"Do we expect naval escort of the slave freighters?" asked an officer.

"Expect medium to heavy escorts," started Rathma. "We had an interception of their telegrams and they're dispatching 1/3 of their air force and their navy to escort their freight," finished Rathma.

"However, with the Dark Knights present," started Sherman as the commander from the Dark Knights put up his hand for a moment before bringing it back down. "You'll be working alongside the Assassin Navy, Assassin Air Force and the Hunter Marines. There will be a small bounty on the heads of officers you find along the way but don't take that into mind. You're objective is to locate enemy shipping, capture any ships that has slaves onboard, sail the ship back to Lynx and netualise any escort parties alongside the freighter that is transporting slaves. Any questions?"

"How much is the bounty on the officers head sir," asked a Vamperial Assassin Master.

"150 thousand Lymaxs," replied Sherman.

"Are we going to be working alongside Salzland?" asked another.

"It can be granted and we think we will," replied Sherman.

"Sir, are we going to be using the new dropships*(1)?" asked another.

"Since the rotorless choppers on Lynx are about 1/3 of the Helicopter Air Force, they'll be used as transportation," replied Sherman. "No more questions?" he asked as everyone nodded their heads at him. "Then I wish you luck and may God bless us all. Men, dismiss and inform your companies,"

The officers, knights and masters left the massive hall as they started to head back to their companies. The idea was going to be simple but it was going to require stealth to get under the radar. The Seekers were going to play a key role in this conflict and so were the new coastal defence network that had just being completed. Sherman wasn't worried about the idea as he seen the works of slavery and he was going to make sure it was going to end in this conflict. However, he was more interested at the moment with the new detachment of Lynion Hunters and Regulars coming to defend Lynx should the worst be realised.


TO: Office of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Salzland
FROM: Vamperial Colony of Lynx, Vamperial Assassin Headmaster Sherman

After intercepting what telegrams we found, we have decided to muster the Lynion Assassin's in doing their first ever combined conflict. We would like to stand with you against the slavers and in return, you can use Lynx as a base of operations and re-suppling. I have ordered the men to take the slaves alive and the freighters to be sailed back to Lynx Colony. I have also decided to put a small bounty on any capture enemy officers should they find.

We intend to free the slaves in our cities to ensure their safety. From there, they can either head back to their homeland or a nation of their choice for no price.

In most of the civilised world this is illegal, but the report details how the ruler, Lord iStorm, is all too happy at the prospect, and rubbing his hands in glee at the prospect of all that gold in his coffers.

No more information is as yet available, but a footnote in the report states that iStormistan is militarily ready to protect itself from international sanctions.
The Government of The Confedaracy of Alban States most sternly condemns any form of Slavery by any nation.Our Small but efficient Navy stands ready to assist(short of outright war)other like minded nations to stamp out this Evil practice.

Official Communique from the Republic of Ancient Terra
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Republic of Ancient Terra once again cautions against military action for what is otherwise a rather trivial matter. The selling of slaves is an abhorrent practice, but is it truly worth all of this rattling of sabers? Are your men prepared to die for some poor soul they will never meet? Can their loved ones accept that loss?

From a strictly practical standpoint, those selected for "sale" are likely better off than those left behind in the grasp of an uncaring lord. How quickly we choose to decide the fate of millions! How readily we toss aside the restraints of law in pursuit of some perceived justice.

While the Republic of Ancient Terra absolutely cannot condone the sale of human beings, we can no more easily allow concerned nations to practice outright piracy on the high seas. We will not align ourselves on either side in this misguided conflict, but under International Maritime Law the Terran Navy is obliged to assist any iStormistani vessel that is illegally boarded in international waters, regardless of whether or not the aforementioned ship is stopped under the concept of Hostis humani generis.

We urge all sides of this conflict to take an objective look at the situation before one or the other makes a terrible and costly mistake.

Rukmenistani Ministry of Foreign Relations, Catul, Rukmenistan

"A communique has just arrived, sir." Being the personal manservant to the Rukmenistani Commander had plenty of benefits, but those were generally tempered by the few unpleasant duties Wilson had to endure on a daily basis; for one, interacting with the Foreign Minister. "The Commander requested I deliver it to you personally."

The Foreign Minister barely looked up from his notebook computer, but even that tiny glance was crammed with supercilious disdain, making it quite perfectly clear how he felt about the Commander's butler. Unlike most of his fellows in the Rukmenistani government, Chase Sumner was one of the "graduates", the term used for young citizens who had studied an appropriate course in higher education and used that to jump straight into officer-hood. The fact such a path was even possible had been the source of much derision from enlisted troops and those in the officer corps who had worked their way through the ranks, to the point where referring to somebody as a "graduate" was a term of revulsion. Of course, unlike his fellow graduates, Sumner had acquitted himself over time by volunteering for active duty as a rookie Lieutenant - at the time of the revolution, he had risen to become a Colonel and had gained a well-deserved reputation for marksmanship.

The upshot of this was that the Foreign Minister had become a very bitter, very driven individual, unwilling to tolerate any behaviour that wasn't strictly geared towards personal advancement and tremendously hostile to almost everyone - in fact, the only people he would admit that he respected were the Commander and the six men that had served under him in Special Unit S-08. Since he was neither, Wilson got the same disdain that everyone else did as Sumner merely held out his hand for the message.

"How many hostiles?" The question was delivered in a very clipped manner, as was most of what Sumner said. Most people thought that how he always talked because they never warranted more than a sentence at a time.

"I beg your pardon, Minister?"

Sumner sighed irritably. "How many nations are declaring sanctions?"

"At the last count, six, sir. Salzland appears to be the most gung-ho, declar-"

"Yes, I can read for myself." The message was a simple one, just being a list of the nations who had openly opposed the slave trade, and indeed Salzland was noted as being willing to commit acts of war in simple opposition of the practice. The footnote was the interesting part, however, as it detailed the involvement of Ancient Terra. "Instruct the Commander to contact Ancient Terra. Inform them we are interested in aiding their anti-piracy efforts." Looking up to see the butler still standing there, he gestured impatiently towards the door. "Go!"

To: The Republic of Ancient Terra Foreign Ministry
From: Office of the Minister for Foreign Relations, Salzland
CC: Nations of the World

Dear Sirs and Madams,

Having recently received your telegram, the Government of Salzland feels that it must clarify its position on the issue at hand. We are not engaging in Acts of Piracy in boarding these vessels, seizing contraband cargoes and detaining the crews. Rather, we are enforcing existing international law to the letter, and acting entirely within our rights.

To quote from World Assembly Resolution #20, the "Suppression of International Piracy Resolution," a 'Pirate' is defined as an individual/group "...Who are not formally recognised agents of any government... who operate in groups to use threats and force to seize vehicles and their cargos — and possibly their passengers, and/or crew, as well — for personal gain." Salzland interprets the bolded section to clearly apply to private vessels used by iStormistan to transport captive human cargoes for personal profit.

Article Five of that Resolution, then, is binding upon us. "5. Urges and authorises all WA member nations to do as much as they reasonably can to suppress international piracy within any areas (such as ‘international waters)' that are not under any nation’s effective control, and its bases wherever those are." Therefore, our actions in boarding private vessels are justified. Even were they not to be, as recognized apparati of a sovereign nation the Salzland Defense Forces would not engage in piracy. Instead, our actions would constitute an Act of War, were they to be unjustified. In this instance, we are more than justified.

As far as state-controlled shipping is concerned, World Assembly Resolution #12, the "Prevention of Terrorism" is governing. Noting that the operative definition of Terrorism is as follows: "The unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives," the Salzland position is that it is impossible to interpret the iStormistan actions as anything but state-sponsored terrorism. As such, we are bound by World Assembly Resolution #12 to "Unilaterally and in co-operation with other WA States, as well as World Assembly, [to] contribute to the progressive elimination of the causes underlying international terrorism and to pay special attention to all situations, including situations involving mass and flagrant violations of fundamental human rights and civil freedoms and those involving alien occupation, that may give rise to international terrorism and may endanger international peace and security."

We appreciate your concern in this issue and we respect your decision to remain neutral, but we believe that international law is clear-cut and on our side. As a World Assembly member-nation, Salzland is legally obligated to put a stop to this abhorent practice, as your nation so elequently put it. If we do not stand for our principles, or our laws, then what do we stand for?

Signed,

J. Marcus Davis

We don't Lynx being used for justice.

Ralkovian Minister of the Imperial Order of the Empire Thomas Travis sat at his desk reading this news, it was no concern to him at the moment because the stupid Istormistans never responded to the ralkovian offer. They could have had protection but now they would get pounded into the ground by the enemy.

He could only sit there and laugh as he told the rest of the Ministers by televideo what was happening. Of course the ralkovians could have changed the events that were happening with a single fleet of COS 6th Experimental Division. Though the Istormistans were stupid enough not to pay attention to ralkovia's generous offer it would get its people even if it meant invading Istormistan itself.

The ASoGM Carrier Battlegroups Freedom and Independence continued their naval exercise, but expanded the scope of it with more E-2 Hawkeye flights, so they could keep an eye on the shipping lanes used by IStormistan. Also, a squadron of F-18E aircraft from each carrier were prepped with a multi-mission combat loadout, in case it was needed. Every carrier prepped a quartet of EA-16 Growlers for electronic warfare, as well as a squadron of recently transferred F-35 Lightning IIs, which were prepped for air combat.

Sirs and Madams,

At this time, the Government of Salzland is not interested in pursuing a policy of appeasement, wherein the Government of iStormistan would be rewarded in large sums of hard currency for its policy of enslaving vast swaths of its population. We are not interested in destroying the iStormistan Government at this time, nor do we intend to invade. We ask that they conform to international law. Should they refuse, or continue to refuse to do so, we are prepared to compel them to abide by existing international laws concerning piracy, terrorism and slavery.

RE: your offer

The ASoGM is conducting naval exercises in the area, so we cannot allow your cameramen near our vessels. Also, the ASoGM navy is operating in international waters near IStormistan. Dispersing naval mines into the area risks our vessels, and we cannot allow that. If an ASoGM naval vessel is hit with one of your naval mines in international waters, it will be taken as an act of aggression against the ASoGM, and we will respond with swift and brutal retribution. We hope this is the only warning we have to give you.

We have thought about your offer and we have decided to only allow one cameraman aborad the main fleet that's going hunting for the slave ships. I will however express my concern, that should you interfer with the operation in anyway, they have orders to hold you in the brig until you reach dry land.

If you wish, you can send a cameraman to Lynx Colony to do some filming of the free slaves that are sent there when they become free. However, protocol states, you won't be permitted into unauthorised installations or areas.

From: Tiny, President for Life, Leader, and benevolent guide to all who strive to improve their nation, the Shining Republic of Sheistekatzen

All this squacking reminds Us of the squackoon, our national animal, who's two greatest accomplishments are the abilities to Run-and-Hide, or Cower. While We would never suggest that any human could be so incapable of accomplishments as a Squackoon, the squacking noise our nations animal makes is at once the harbinger of nothing, indescribably annoying, and amazingly reminiscent to the noise from the nations that have raised this self righteous ruckus. We hardly consider the vast imaginary sabre rattling to be a threat.

We recognize and support not only you, in your soveriegn right to handle your subjects as you deem appropriate, but the purchaser of your citizenry, in their exercise of the same soveriegn rights. Please accept Our spirit of support of your efforts to improve your nation, and your understanding of the sacrifices that make a nation great.

Unfortunately, even We, and the proud people of Sheistekatzen have come to understand that some people lack even the basic pride or motivation to perform even the simplest work beyond that of begging for hand outs from the church, their community, or their government. Worse, there are some among Our citizens that have the ambitious motivation to lobby the churches, communities, and governments, in the favor of these malingerers, and at the expense of all around them who lift even a single productive finger. Having discovered this second subset of our population, We have provided them opportunities to celebrate and be recognized for their humanitarian efforts. They have come forward and been awarded, by Us and Our Citizens, recognition for their efforts.

It is this unique revalation that inspires our communication to you at this time. We have come to the conclusion that We may have need of your services as broker, providing Us access to those buyers who's demand for your product exceeded your desire or ability to supply product. Since Our nation's citizenry includes approximately 1.5% who consume various forms of publicly and privately funded charity programs, and only 50% of these are willing to call themselves disabled, and incapable of producing anything in support of themselves, their families, or their fellow statesmen, We have taken the benevolent position of supporting the aged, and the truly infirm, and even the unprincipled malingering slobs who lack the pride and humanity to call themselves productive citizens. However, We recognize the considerably larger percentage of the populations of G8 nations which exercise such consumption without meeting any responisibility whatever. We also see, in such nations, the vast conspiracies of private and public employees preaching "social justice" while picking the pockets of the productive citizenry to fund frivolous expenditures by the "poor". We have also recognized the correlation between the percentage of miscreant, loafing frauds present, and the quantities of meddlesome robin-hood-nicks who would redistribute the earnings of hard working citizens to themselves and those loafers who cry foul when asked to lift a pen and fill out a form begging for more money.

Having identified the clear corelation between dishonor and thieves, We feel that it best serves Our peoples to remove any aire of propriety from this institutionalized victimization of our society. Since these robbers are clearly a menace to the nation and a danger to the culture and economy, We feel that the society would be better served by their absence. Moreover, these self appointed "do-gooders" would benefit from a good dose of real work and prductivity, rather than their overly practiced and meddlesome thievery. So We would be pleased if you could find buyers for the 3% of Our citizenry which have mustered the ambition to fleece their neighbors in the name of "welfare" and "humanity".

We shall happily reward you for your dilligent efforts to aid us in protecting our citizens from the ravages of sloth, by ridding Us of these inhuman wretches that have attempted to infest Our lands. We offer a 10% commission on market rate for any sales which you might broker through completion.
